When Xavier tracks down Lucifer in Bavaria, he discovers the villain’s heartbeat is tied to a massive thermal bomb, forcing the X-Men and the Avengers—arrived simultaneously—to navigate a tense standoff where victory could mean global destruction. With a mind blast from Xavier and Cyclops’s precise eye beams, the teams must work together to prevent catastrophe, setting the stage for an unforgettable alliance.
