X-Men: First Class #7
In "The Catalyst Part Two," the X-Men face a chilling threat when Sentinels descend on the X-Mansion—only to retreat, mistaking the students for non-mutants after a mysterious meteor stripped them of their powers. With their abilities suddenly restored just in time, the team races to protect Wanda and Pietro before their renewed strength pushes them too far from humanity. Written by Jeff Parker and brought to life by artist Roger Cruz and colorist Val Staples, this pivotal issue sees the team’s powers surge in a moment of crisis, setting up a tense battle to restore balance—both for themselves and the world around them. The cover, by Eric Nguyen, captures the moment of awakening with striking intensity.
