You are tho X-Mon. Your mutant powers

Please, think wisely.
But than I saw J Jonah Jameson,
publisher of e newspaper

Spider-Man mild? stopped.
The 'Daily Bugle' will give a handsome
reward to anyone who brings him in.

There's still no clue
as to why you losl: your power.
Maybe ifs only temporary. BODDY-
I sure hope so, Angel,
but I've gotta tell you, I'm worried.
Se what did the memory probe
reveal about my power loss?
Your mutant powers
are triggered by your thoughts.
But I'm a mutant, too.

No. That's impossible!
Vida-omen!

I thought
they pulled the plug on you.
Too late.
Well, I still have some power left.
I've losl: all my mutant power.
Then ifs up to Spidey and me

Another new weapon.
Tee powerful for me.
You know,
I oould make a oaroor of this,
and lmre mrery minute of I't.
He's absorbing electrical energy
from the presses.
And he's growing and
What a way to travel.
We know whafs making Vida-omen grow,
but not whafs giving him
111050 weirdo powers,
or what weakened my powers.
And look at mo. Right now,
I oouldn'l: make a snowball.
I wonder what happened to Jameson.
When am I? Whefs happening to me?
You can'! do this to me.
I'm in a maze of some kind.
Maybe I can find my way out.
IfVide-oman gro-uvs more powerful,
no one will be able to stop him.
Maybe we can prevent him
from getting any bigger.
We den'l: e\ren knew
where he'll strike neJ-ct.
Unless
Right. Let's ask the computer
for a prediction.
Sure, program what we know,

Maybe I should have stayed home
and kept Bobby company.
I've got I't. I know whafs happened
to Iceman and you.
I've figured out
what's causing those power losses.
I wish I had the time to listen.

I think I can find that creep.
