In "The Extremists [Part 1]," Warpath and Hepzibah plunge into the Morlock tunnels to confront Masque and his faction, only to find themselves outmatched in a brutal clash. As tensions rise among the underground mutants, Skids reveals the existence of a mysterious prophecy penned by the late Morlock Qwerty—one that has split their community into warring factions. With the stakes escalating, Storm and Caliban are brought to meet the pacifist Morlocks in their hidden cathedral, just as Masque triggers a devastating explosion. Xavier, mid-campaign against Magneto, cuts his pursuit short to answer the call. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated with sharp precision by Salvador Larroca—whose dynamic pencils and inks define the cover—this issue sets a tense, high-stakes tone for a story that redefines loyalty and survival beneath the surface.
