Synopsis for "Dancin' in the Dark"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Uncanny X-Men #170
Scott Summers and Madelyne Pryor are on their first date together, alone at a chalet in Reindeer Falls, Alaska. Summers shows a picture of Jean Grey to Pryor, revealing to her the striking resemblance she has with his now dead girlfriend. Pryor is taken aback by the revelation, but still wants to pursue a relationship with Summers and they continue enjoying the evening together. In the morning, Pryor playfully reaches for Summers' Ruby-Quartz Sunglasses to shade the sun from her eyes when he reacts violently, pushing her away. Summers reveals his mutant powers to her and explains that he cannot control it without the glasses. She is not put off by the revelation and wants to continue seeing him. Storm, Nightcrawler, and Colossus have been captured by the Morlocks[1] while Callisto intends to continue with her marriage to the kidnapped Warren Worthington. The X-Men escape their bonds and Nightcrawler captures Callisto and threatens to kill her if they don't allow them to leave. In turn, Plague touches Storm causing her to fall ill and threatens to afflict her with a fatal illness if the X-Men don't surrender. In the end, Nightcrawler yields since he never really intended to kill Callisto. Meanwhile, Caliban is caring for Kitty Pryde, who was also touched by Plague.[1] Kitty asks Caliban to help the X-Men, and promises to stay with him if he does. Caliban brings Kitty to Callisto, begging her to save the girl, Callisto refuses. Caliban tells the X-Men that the only way to overrule Callisto would be to defeat her in trial by combat.
Nightcrawler immediately challenges Callsito, but Storm insists that since she leads the X-Men it should be her to issue the challenge, despite being weakened by Plague. Callisto accepts Storm's challenge, and warns her that she cannot use her powers during the duel. The pair fight fiercely, each armed with a knife. Eventually, Storm gets the upper hand and stabs Callisto in the heart, causing her to collapse. Storm releases Worthington from his bonds and announces to the Morlocks that she now leads them, having defeated their previous leader in combat. Callisto's death is prevented only by the timely intervention of the Morlocks' Healer. Mystique experiences a dream where she is being hunted by horsemen in 18th century England. She falls and breaks her ankle and is eventually captured by the hunters' hounds. Jason Wyngarde pulls the dogs off and allows Lady Jean Grey to slash her throat. At this point, Mystique wakes from her nightmare and realizes that her ankle is sore in reality. She joins Destiny in their kitchen for coffee where the latter reveals that some force is preventing her from seeing certain future timelines. Suddenly she realizes that there is a timeline where Rogue is in danger; Mystique immediately races to Rogue's room to find it empty. Rogue is on a bus, leaving Washington, D.C., unsure why she is leaving home.

Synopsis for "Rogue"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Uncanny X-Men #171
Storm addresses the Morlocks in the Alley as their new leader, having defeated Callisto in a duel.[2] She announces that they shall not attack the surface dwellers any longer. Callisto, despite her weakened state, confronts Storm and threatens to take back leadership of the Morlocks one day, but Storm disregards her threat. Nightcrawler is concerned that Storm's personality is changing to become much more ruthless, and she doesn't seem to mind.

Back at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Lilandra is helping Charles Xavier with his therapy to recover his ability to walk with his newly cloned body,[3] but his efforts are becoming too painful. Xavier detects that Rogue has arrived at the school, and notifies Colossus to greet their visitor. Xavier gathers the X-Men along with Illyana, Lilandra and Rogue to hear what she has to say. She asks for Xavier's help in controlling her powers, but Ariel (Kitty Pryde), Nightcrawler, and Storm are skeptical. After a brief discussion, Xavier asks the others to leave so he and Lilandra can talk with Rogue without distraction from their negative emotions. The X-Men leave to take out their frustrations in the Danger Room. Illyana intends to start a training program, but instead brings up and image from Belasco's throne room. Kitty is surprised by the manifestation, and attempts to turn off the program, but Illyana, possessed by some form of madness, produces the Soulsword and attacks her. Kitty disarms her which brings Illyana back to her senses. Ororo spends time alone in her loft reflecting on the changes in her personality recently, when Xavier calls the X-Men back to his study and declares that Rogue will be a member of the team on a probationary basis.

Rogue (Earth-616) from Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 171 0001

Rogue attacked by Binary

At the Danvers' home in Beverly, Massachusetts, Carol Danvers visits with her parents. As Carol leaves, the good-bye is a hollow one as her personal feelings towards her parents are gone since Rogue stripped away her memories and powers.[4] She returns to Xavier's school shocked to find Rogue there and immediately attacks her. The X-Men break up the battle and explain to Binary that Rogue has been admitted to the school as well as membership to the team. However, the X-Men are reluctant to welcome the former villain until Xavier convinces them that any mutant should be given a chance for a better life. Hearing this, Binary flies off in anger. In Anchorage, Madelyne Pryor wakes up from a nightmare, and Scott Summers comes running to her side. After she calms down she tells Scott about the 747 crash where she was the only survivor. She gives the date of the accident as September 1, 1980 which Scott recognizes as the date Jean Grey died.[5]
