“Bad to the Bone”

In "Bad to the Bone," the Shadow King manipulates Colossus into attacking Professor Xavier and Stevie Hunter, but Xavier fights back with a surge of memory and willpower to break the psychic grip. Meanwhile, the rest of the X-Men, also under the Shadow King’s influence, clash in brutal combat on Muir Isle. Written by Jim Lee, Chris Claremont, and Fabian Nicieza, with dynamic art by Andy Kubert and inks by Scott Williams, this pivotal 1991 issue delivers a tense, emotionally charged showdown where identity and control collide—cover by Andy Kubert and Scott Williams.
