Giant-Size X-Men #2

In the desert heat of Egypt, the X-Men face a crisis when Lorna is attacked by a Sentinel, and Alex is overwhelmed by his unstable powers—leaving the team fractured. As the Living Pharaoh demands their arrest for temple damage, Alex vanishes into the chaos, only to be hunted again. Back in the States, Iceman and Beast follow a chilling news report: the son of Bolivar Trask has declared the Sentinels alive once more, and mutants are now targets.

In "Mission: Murder!", Beast and Iceman are caught in a deadly ambush by Sentinels, forcing Bobby to make a desperate sacrifice so Hank can escape. As Angel returns to the U.S. with Cyclops and Jean in pursuit, Iceman is captured and brought to Trask’s base, where he reunites with Lorna and Alex—now known as Havok, restrained by a containment suit forged by Trask himself. With mutants gathered from across the globe, the true danger emerges when Chalmers, uneasy with Trask’s methods, removes the medallion that controls the Sentinels—only to reveal that Trask is a mutant himself.

In "Do or Die, Baby!" from Giant-Size X-Men #2, with Larry Trask exposed as a mutant, the Sentinels turn on their creator and continue their deadly hunt. Cyclops, Jean, and Beast launch a daring rescue, disguising themselves as Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Toad to infiltrate the enemy's stronghold. As they fight their way through, the team faces a desperate race against time to save their captured allies.
