Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!
Iceman and Firastar:
Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!
The test is mrer, Firestar,
and you failed.
You must be prepared
for anything to happen.
IHE-IE RENEE room
the threats are just holograms,
3D movies,
[hymn
but if that had been real life,
you would no longer eJ-cist.
I'm sorry, Professor.
You guessed it. We're in the secret
training headquarters
of the world-famous X-Men.
Each was born
with a marvellous super-power;
just like Firestar and Iceman.
It's OK, Firestar.
Remember the time Cerebre
put me in a live volcano?
WEE! happened?
I sorl: of panicked.
We were picking ice cubes
out of the circuits for weeks.
Boy, when you X-Mon train,
you don't: kid around.
We canfi: afford to, Spider-Man.
Please place your right hand on
sensor plate for bio-rhythm ID scan.
Illegal.
Che-er up, Angelica.
I guess I'm still annoyed
at failing my test.
Looked like a tough test to me.
You know, I'd like to take a crack
at that danger ro-orn.
That can be arranged, Spider-Man.
'Ii-fell, I No
Well, sure.
You'll be sorry.
The room's set on danger laurel one.
The images and threats
are holograms, but they'll seem real.
- I hope Spideg/'s up to this.
- That's our boy.
The object is to reach that door,
starting now.
Cerebro doesn't waste any time.
Come on, Syfldwifou can do 'It.
I smell ozone.
Holograms don't: smell.
A heat-seeking missile.
And me M111 such a warm personality.
Something .
Professor,
I don't care what Corebro says.
That's danger laurel seven.
Those taps are real.
Astonishing ..
Maybe he'll respond to this.
L'f this is a best,
I'd hate to see the real thing.
I think this is the real thing.
Let's get out of here.
- What went wrong?
- Precisely what I've asked Cerebro.
Greefings, X-Men. I am Cyberied.
I bust you've enjoyed
this example of my abilities.
I've interfaced myself with Cevebre.
All of your security taps
and devices are under my command.
Impossible. Who are you?
Why are you doing this?
Only one among you knows, Professor,
but all of you will sufier.
He's protecting himself
M111 a mental shield.
I was able to pinpoint his location.
He's tapped into the logic circuits.
All the way up in the attic?
Yes, within the sub-basement.
That means wdve got to go up
past all the taps on all the floors.
And all of them set to kill.
The rest of you
can take the scenic route,
but I favour
the more direct approach.
Kurt, wait.
Cyb-eriad has shut off the power.
Not all the power.
That's one doorman
who deserves a tip.
WWW Bobby
Lighten up. Wefire been in worse spots.
You OK, Firestar?
Yes. No. I don't: know.
Something about Cybefiad bothers me.
Besides the fact
he's trapped us in the mansion?
'One of you knows,' Cyberiad said,
but which one?
Relax. Let my mind scan yours.
L'l: is not you, Cyclops,
nor you, Storm,
nor you, Spider-Man.
And I sense you worry, my friend.
Rest assured I will not probe
your secret identity.
Danika-wait.
Firestar, there is a memory
deep viithin you.
One you are suppressing.
One you must experience again.
Ne. Yes. I remember new.
Several years egoJwes going
tooollegeomheWsstCoast,
Mira?
Who, Firesiar?
His name was Nathan Pryce.
He was a physicist
Pdnelverbeeninlovebefore.
I helped him in his experiments
to mentally fuse matter
with anti-matter.
lhb
mm.
Firestar. What did you do to me?
Why did you hurl: me?
No, Naman.
I didn'l: do anything. I'l: was
Don't: touch me, you fiaitor.
No, Nathan.
I navel" saw him again.
I know he blamed me for the accident.
The accident that turned
Nathan Pryce into a cyborg,
half man, half thinking machine
named Cyb-eriad.
And new he, I't, intends to take
his revenge on you and all of us.
Mum
as if I knew something terrible
was going to happen.
A most touching confession, Firestar.
grateful
Your blundering gave me powers
I had not thought possible.
Beam-swims;
installed mm.
Let's see how well you do.
My data circuits tell me Nightcravfler
is the jokester of the X-Men.
How appropriate
for what I have in mind.
Sea? You canfi: even telep-orl:
from my plasma bubble.
Nonetheless, you will lead
your friends to their ultimate doom.
No. You mustn't. This is inhuman.
He's right. I canfi: let this
go on any further. I can't.
I have been programmed to seek
revenge on the mutant Firestar.
This programming
mrerrides all other commands.
No. I programmed you.
I, Nathan Pryce.
Stop this before ifs to-o late. Stop.
Programming will proceed.
This is all my fault.
Cyberiad just wants revenge on me.
He may well get his revenge,
taxman-am
an.
Unless we reach him viithin twvo hours,
the X-Mansion will be vap-orised.
A mekdwm oi the power core.
Nilride gas. One of my taps.
Mafia
film?
Hes tapped boih
the Spider-Hana and the X-Men.
Bu! he's more than e men.
Flo's part robot, part living computer;
fizbaafizamad
threatens to destroy the entire
X-Men Mansion and everyone inside.
Good
Come on, Cyclops.
Give that door
the old penetrating stare.
- You bet, Iceman.
- Wait, Scott.
The walls are anodised
against your eyebeam energy rays.
The blast could ricochet
and hit any of us.
Sorry about that, guys.
Maybe a gentler approach
will do the irick.
I'll phase through.
Way to go. Sprite-
Professor, how can we possibly
reach the aific
M111 all of the mansion's defences
against us?
I suggest we split into teams.
Good idea. That way, some of us
might make I't and stop the meltdo-uvn.
Wanna be on my team?
Sprite, Colossus and Storm,
take the main stairs.
Cyclops, Thunderbird and Iceman,
the back way.
Spider-Men, Firestar and I
will head for the elevator.
Let's go,
and lefs be careful out there.
Cerebro indicates they've split up.
How resourceful.
I must match their clemremess.
I'll program Cerebre to use their euvn
greatest fears and desires against them.
And I'll start M111 a little help
from Nightcraviler.
Come on. Quietly.
Nightcravflerl Where did you come from?
Wait. Somethinds different about him.
Catch me 'Ii you can.
I'll catch you, you blue devil,
and when I do
Thunderbird
He's gone.
And the door is locked.
I think this place is gonna get
a lot more confining.
Don't: panic, Storm.
I call upon the spirit
of the great grizzly.
I didn'l: know you oould do that.
You OK, Storm?
Yeah. Just.
I canfi: believe that Kurl:
led us into a trap.
He's a practical joker, but this?
Yes. He has much to explain.
I know this is diffioult for you,
Firestar, but you must be bravo.
Remember, Cyberied
is not the men you once knew.
You're wrong there.
I'm sure there's something of
Naihen Pryce still left in Cyberied.
I just hope I can somehow reach him.
Hvonder haw the ether: are doing.
That wasnfi: funny, Cyb-eriad.
You just wail: until Colossus
gets a hold you.
Wham
You cam keep me baked up, Cybefiad.
Excellent.
The anti-metal walls reflected
the force of his blow back at him.
His ouvn strength knocked him out.
Now to bait yet another trap
M111 another phoney X-Man hologram.
Give UP, CY0l°P5-
The walls of your cell
are pure adamantium.
Your blasts canfi: even scratch them.
UUhflli? No.
According to Cerebrds
memory bank, Cyclops,
your greatest fear
is losing your sight.
Being in the dark, so to speak.
I canfi: see.
Colossus? Cyclops?
Here I am, Sprite.
Come on. I've found Cyclops.
Lead on, tin man.
He's in here. Only you can save him.
Hang on. cyclops-
What's the big idea?
What's this place made of?
“My
A metal that can vibrate
to block your atomic shucmre.
In other words, I've gro-uvn
accustomed to your phase.
What have you done?
Wbranium is also
an excellent sonic wave conductor,
as you're about to find out.
EM“
Gotta focus all my power
in one tiny beam.
. Steady
through
through
Talk about eyestain.
Somebody's playing
mm» ..
Ne you akight. KIN?
Colossus did this to me.
He flicked me into the ro-orn.
Here's the elevator.
I'm still blocking as many
of Cyb-eriads sensors as I can.
But I canfi: hide
the elevatofs mmrement.
Be on complete alert.
I still don't: know
how I can fight Naman.
I used to lmre him.
I think I still do a litfle.
Someone onoe said that you newrer fall
all the way out of low-re.
You'll do what you have to do.
I know, but this wasnfi: in my contract.
Wm.
The elevator cable has been cut.
This line better hold.
The line's holding,
but I'm not so sure about my arm.
We're moving by Spider-Man power.
Looks like we'll get
to the top fle-or after all.
Yes, and then
the hardest parl: begins.
Then we face the maze of madness.
Top floor. Cyb-orgs, computers
and catastrophes, everybody out.
Glad you could make I't.
It's lonely at the top.
We are running out of time.
In less than an hour,
Cerebrds core will explode.
We; mm rreaemah Gyberiad
Professor!
Mamanfium.
But wéve gotta reach Cybefiad.
And the only way is through
the maze of madness.
Every second counts.
Our homes must reach Cyberied
in time to prevent the tenifi/ing
meltdown “which threatens them all.
Dmitatlfizam
they first must survive
the mysterious maze of madness.
Wefire got to keep going.
Mammy?
The maze of madness
is e\ren crazier than the danger room.
Stay together.
It's easy to get lost in the maze.
They're just more
holographic illusions.
Don't: let them get to you.
What's the matter, bird brain?
Don't: know which way is up?
Hey. gang. This way to Cyb-eriad.
Wait. That's not the real Nightcravfler.
How can you tell?
When he vanished,
there was no smell of brimstone.
That means I't was
just a hologram of Nightcravfler.
Maybe the Colossus that trapped me
Wasn't the real Colossus.
I knew Peter Rasputin
wouldn't pull such a rotten trick.
But if he can make our images,
how do we know
who's real and who isn't?
There's no time for puzzles, Storm.
Let's just try to get to the attic.
And then ifs up to me.
Yes, Firestar, you will give me
my sweetest revenge.
Firestar knows she's the one
Cyberiad is after.
No matter how greeflhe odds,
everything depenk on her.
thought
mm.
I failed that one,
but I'll pass this one.
Brave words, Firestar, but wrong.
No. I canfi: let this happen to her.
Not to Firestar.
Yes. Especially to Firestar.
Ma.
I smell brimstone.
Kurt, is I't really you?
Yes, Cyclops. I managed to escape
from the plasma bubble
that Cyb-eriad
had held me prisoner in.
We have to reach him.
There are only a few minutes left
before the meftde-uvn.
I know. This way.
I can lead you to him.
I'm so glad you reminded me
about the brimstone smell
of the devil, Thunderbird.
I programmed Cerebro
to add I't this time.
Now the only one loft
is the one I most desire.
This is crazy.
There's goth be away out.
mam.
Let the other: go, Nathan.
Rs me you want.
Since you're so conoemed
about them, Firestar,
why don't: you join them?
I'm sorry I't has to end like this.
L'l: hasnfi: ended, Firestar.
You're just another hologram.
Yes, I've taken Cerebrds
cenhal control unit,
and now there's nothing you can do
to stop the moltdo-uvn.
I've got to get out of here.
It's no use.
I can't break the bubble.
I canfi: hear you, Spidey.
Haidwb reach
I'l:'s useless, Professor.
She eanfi: hear me.
Perhaps she can hear me, Spider-Man.
Firastar; try to reach
the Image-battery unit.
It may deactivate the plasma bubble.
It's worth a try.
Don'! boiherebout us. Stop Cyberied.
We have onlyfive minutes left.
Right, ..
- Nathan!
- Ne, Fheshr.
Nathan Pryce no longer exists
because of you.
Now there is only Cyb-eriad.
Wefire got to use teamwork.
Cyke, try to focus these energy eyes
of yours fight enough
to burn a small hole
through the bubble.
Hear the nega-baflnws charge
was used up to free Fkeshat.
Maybe so, but I've got an idea.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Brace your arms
against the field, metal man.
You are a scientist,
whoever else you may be.
Using Colossus-ts body
to amplify the nega-batterg/'s charge
is a brilliant idea.
[HE brilliant
As they say in department shores,
charge it, lady.
- That fielded.
- Way to go, webhead.
There's only one minute left.
Nathan, fight your programming.
You can do 'n.
Become a human again,
not a machine.
The meltdo-uvn will take care of your
friends, and I shall take care of you.
Naman, you canfi: let the machine Mn.
Then, I'm sown], Nathan.
You're fusing my circuits!
I still lmre you, Firestar.
I know, Naman, but rest now.
Spidey, what you said earlier
about nmrer falling
all the way out of lmre.
I think you were wrong.
- Sorry about that.
- So am I.
