X-Men #16
In "Possession, 1ère partie : Aigle ou papillon ?", Revanche abandons the X-Men, her bionic eyes severed as she faces her fate from the Legacy Virus, while Spiral closes in on Psylocke. Written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Andy Kubert with inks by Matt Ryan and colors by Lovern Kindzierski and Digital Chameleon, this 1995 issue delivers a tense, character-driven turn in the X-Men saga, with a cover by Andy Kubert and Matthew Ryan capturing the moment’s intensity.
In the wake of Revanche’s final act, her dying decision to sever her bionic eyes sets off a chain of tension as Matsuo Tsurayaba’s past resurfaces through the shadowy Jath'Che Elite and the lingering presence of the Hand. As Spiral targets Psylocke with unseen intent, the X-Men—Professor X, Gambit, Rogue, Beast, and Archangel—must navigate a web of betrayal and legacy, where the line between ally and enemy blurs as the past claws its way into the present.
In the second part of "Possession," the X-Men follow a trail of cryptic clues led by the enigmatic Spiral, as they confront the lingering shadows of Psylocke’s past and the mysterious Revanche. With the weight of forgotten memories and hidden identities pressing in, Betsy confronts her inner demons—while the team grapples with the unsettling truth behind a villain’s transformation.
