Ultimate X-Man #[nn]

In "Breaking Away," Nate Grey escapes Apocalypse’s slave pits with the help of Cyclops, joining Forge’s rogue band of mutant rebels disguised as a travelling theatre troupe. As they evade the Infinites and navigate shifting alliances, Nate’s untamed powers draw the attention of Apocalypse—sending Domino on a mission to capture him. With Sonique and Essex now part of the group, the line between freedom and fate grows dangerously thin.

In "Turning Point," Nate Grey finds himself in a brutal clash against Domino and her deadly allies, where every moment brings loss and betrayal. As the line between ally and enemy blurs, Essex reveals his true nature—shattering trust and sealing the fate of those he once claimed to serve.

In "The Art of War," Nate Grey confronts the twisted legacy of his creation when Mr. Sinister attempts to manipulate him with the truth of his origin—only to lose his surrogate father, Forge, to Sinister’s own hand. With his resolve hardened, Nate turns the tables on Sinister, then seeks out Apocalypse, setting a course that will test his power, his past, and the very nature of his destiny.
