X-Men Classic #5
In "Gli eroi sono a casa," the X-Men are trapped in a twisted carnival spectacle after Mesmero’s mind control turns them into freak-show attractions. Only Beast sees through the illusion, but before he can act, Magneto arrives—his motives unclear as he frees the team from Mesmero’s grip. Written by Chris Claremont, Luca Scatasta, and Paolo Livorati, with dynamic art by John Byrne and inks by Terry Austin, this 1996 issue blends psychological tension with the classic clash of ideologies. The cover by Dave Cockrum and Terry Austin captures the eerie spectacle of the circus setting.
In "Gli eroi sono a casa," the X-Men enjoy a rare moment of peace at the Mansion after saving the universe—until Weapon Alpha strikes, not to destroy, but to reclaim Wolverine and send him back to Canada. The sudden assault throws the team into motion, testing their unity as they face a threat that’s as personal as it is unexpected.
In "Giochi mentali," Mesmero traps the X-Men, turning them into carnival acts under his control—only the Beast begins to suspect the truth. When Magneto arrives, his motives are far from clear, and as the X-Men break free from Mesmero’s hold, the real battle for dominance begins.
In "Il Trionfo di Magneto," Magneto, driven by vengeance after being reduced to a child, captures the X-Men and imprisons them in a hidden lair beneath an active volcano. Trapped in special chairs that silence them and deny them even basic autonomy, the heroes are forced to endure their helplessness as a robotic nanny attends to their every need—each moment a calculated act of psychological domination.
In "L'Uomo nel cielo," a young man named Tad Carter begins to uncover his extraordinary abilities—telepathy, telekinesis, and the power to fly—just as a mysterious figure reaches out to him with a cryptic invitation. Drawn into an unfolding mystery that challenges everything he knows about himself, Tad must decide whether to answer the call.
