In "Primary Infection Part 3 of 3," the X-Men face off against the enigmatic Pan in a climactic battle that leaves Rogue gravely compromised—infected with the Strain 88 virus he designed to amplify her abilities to dangerous extremes. Written by Mike Carey and brought to life by Humberto Ramos’s dynamic art, with Carlos Cuevas’s inks and Edgar Delgado’s colors, this pivotal issue marks a turning point in Rogue’s story. The cover by Ramos and Cuevas captures the intensity of the moment with striking precision.
