In "Mind Games," the High Evolutionary takes Magma captive, aiming to strip her of her powers, forcing the New Mutants to launch a rescue—joined unexpectedly by Magneto and the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club. This 1988 annual marks a pivotal moment for Mirage, who discovers she can make her illusions real, all drawn with dynamic energy by June Brigman and inked by Bob McLeod, with colors by Glynis Oliver and letters by John Workman. The cover, also by Brigman and McLeod, captures the tension of the moment.
