In "Torn Part Five," the X-Men and New X-Men face a renewed threat as Reverend Stryker resurfaces, reigniting his crusade against mutants. With powers lost on M-Day and tensions rising, Wolverine brings X-23 to the mansion, introducing her as his cloned "sister"—a move that sparks immediate friction, especially from Emma, though Cyclops allows her to stay. David leads the students into the Morlock tunnels, where he’s built a Danger Cave, using archived X-Men missions to train both powered and powerless students. Written by Chris Yost and Craig Kyle, with dynamic art by Mark Brooks and inks by Jaime Mendoza and Jay Leisten, this issue features a cover by John Cassaday and Mark Brooks.
