“Warhunt 2”

In "Warhunt 2," Callisto brings Professor X back to the mansion dressed in Morlock gear—much to the X-Men’s amusement—while the Hellions take Banshee hostage, daring the team to come after him. With tension high and old wounds reopened, the X-Men face off against their foes, only to see Thunderbird confront Xavier over his brother’s death, leading to a tense moment of reckoning that ends with Xavier urging him to reconsider, and Firestar and Thunderbird both turning down an offer to join the team. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by John Romita Jr., with Dan Green’s inks, Glynis Wein’s colors, and Tom Orzechowski’s lettering, this 1994 issue features a cover by Matthew Ryan.

Callisto rescues Professor X and returns him to the mansion decked out in Morlock gear (which the rest of the X-Men find incredibly funny). The Hellions capture Banshee and dare the X-Men to come and rescue him. The X-Men prevail but Thunderbird comes after Xavier in retaliation for his brother's death (way back in X-Men #95). Xavier talks him out of his quest for revenge and both Thunderbird and Firestar are asked to join the team (and both decline).
