In "Vanité," the X-Men’s victory over the Marauders takes a dark turn as their actions grow increasingly unsettling. The Goblin Queen uncovers the truth about her origins—Maddie Pryor is a clone of Jean Grey, engineered by Sinister—while N’astirh, now wracked by the transmode virus, arrives at Sinister’s lair with a shocking delivery: her son, Nathan Christopher. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Marc Silvestri, with inks by Dan Green and colors by Glynis Oliver, this 1990 issue features a cover by Ciro Tota.
