X-Men: Longshot #[nn]

In ""...I'll Wave to You From the Top!"", Longshot trades his usual high-stakes gambles for the spotlight of a film set, where his natural acrobatics catch the eye of a director eager to capture his flair. He bonds with stunt performer Ricochet Rita, forming a dynamic duo that thrills the crew—until hunters from his alien past ambush him, and the mysterious Magog intervenes, his form already shifting toward something darker. As filming reaches its climax, Longshot’s luck abandons him when his powers fail, leaving him vulnerable to deadly lasers, and his fate takes a cruel turn when the director betrays him in a moment of cold calculation.

Longshot finds himself caught in a web of debt and desperation when a man named Theo jumps to his death—only to land on him with a final, desperate plea. Drawn into a high-stakes heist to steal diamonds from Con Edison, Longshot soon discovers the job is far more dangerous than it seemed, as memories sparked by the power plant’s machinery begin to unravel his past. With Spiral, Gog, and Magog closing in, and New York plunged into darkness, Longshot must confront a truth that could cost him everything.

Longshot’s latest heist has made headlines—and now he’s on the run, dodging She-Hulk and Spider-Man after stealing diamonds and leaving a trail of chaos across New York. With a new crew of street-smart kids in tow, he’s trying to outrun his past, but when a gun sparks forgotten memories, the truth behind his powers begins to surface. As Mojo and Spiral descend on the city, Longshot and the gang must face a monster they never expected—Magog.

In "Deadly Lies," Longshot is pulled into a deadly game when Mojo and Spiral seize Ricochet Rita to track him down. With Quark and the kids at his side, Longshot faces the monstrous Magog—fed on stolen magic—but loses his powers and nearly gives up. A haunting glimpse into his origins as a weapon crafted by Arize reignites his resolve. When he finds Rita’s home in ruins and Doctor Strange waiting, the two join forces to confront Magog one final time. The battle ends not with victory, but with Longshot choosing to stop running and face his fate head-on.

In "A Snake Coils...", Longshot confronts the twisted legacy of his past when he discovers Ricochet Rita reduced to a hollow husk by Mojo, who has established a cult-like church on Earth to enslave minds. With Dr. Strange and Quark at his side, Longshot must face his former master and uncover a deeper truth about his own origin—leading to a desperate assault on Mojo and Spiral, and a daring leap through a portal back to Mojoworld. There, Longshot and Rita prepare to ignite a rebellion against the tyrant and the spineless ones who serve him.
