Torn, Part 5
The new Hellfire Club has easilly dispatched the X-Men. Wolverine has been reduced to the frightened child he was before he learned he was a mutant, Beast has reverted to little more than an animal. Cyclops has been left in a catatonic stupor, and Colossus has been flattened by the force of his own fury. And while Kitty put up formidable resistance, against two powerful psychics, she is vulnerable.Forced to live out false memories of having a child, only to have it taken from her, the Hellfire club uses Kitty to penetrate the mysterious box in the basement of the mansion. As all this happens, Ord of Breakworld and Danger speed towards the mansion. The mutant destined to end the Breakworld has finally been discovered... and it's Colossus.
