X-Marvel #6

In "Sfruttato," X-Factor tracks down their former ally Nowlan, now trapped in addiction, only to be ambushed by the forces of Apocalypse. With Cyclops, Angel, Beast, Marvel Girl, and the others pushed to their limits, the team faces a brutal confrontation that ends with Nowlan taken back into the clutches of his old master, leaving their mission—and their resolve—severely tested.

In "Bugie Mortali," Longshot is drawn into a deadly game when Mojo and Spiral capture Rita Ricochet to exploit her connection to him. With Quark and the kids by his side, he faces the monstrous Magog, a being fueled by stolen magic, only to discover his own powers have vanished. As he confronts the truth of his artificial origins—created by Arize as a weapon of entertainment with a built-in rebellion—Longshot must decide whether to retreat or fight for a life of his own making. Dr. Strange and Wong join the battle, and together they face the demonic threat, leading Longshot to a pivotal moment of self-determination.
