In the gritty underbelly of 1940s New York, Peter Magnus—newly minted detective and son of the city’s chief—stumbles upon the body of a murdered X-Men protégé, a grim discovery that sets off a chain of secrets. As the police stall and a determined reporter digs deeper, the truth begins to unravel through shadowy interviews and a web of fractured identities, leading one man to don a costume and hunt for answers in a world where heroes are as dangerous as the criminals they fight.
In the shadowed streets of 1930s New York, a once-forgotten reporter turned pulp hero named Tom Halloway reenters the fray, offering the X-Men his help in hunting Jean Grey’s killer. With the team tracking leads through the decaying halls of the abandoned Welfare Penitentiary—the same prison where Halloway once lived among criminals—his past collides with the present as he rescues Ann-Marie Rankin, a young woman with uncanny mimicry powers, from the clutches of the law. As Cyclops follows a trail to the mysterious Captain Logan, a man with deadly claws and a hidden past, the investigation deepens into a web of betrayal and secrets buried beneath the city’s underbelly.
In a rain-slicked 1940s New York, the X-Men unravel a web of betrayal when Captain Logan is framed for Jean Grey’s murder, forcing Cyclops and Iceman to question who they can trust. With the help of Professor Xavier and the reluctant Beast, they follow a trail that leads to Peter Magnus, a detective with secrets of his own—and a dangerous pact with the underworld. As the Angel swoops in to save Unus the Untouchable, the truth behind a deadly scheme begins to surface, and old alliances are tested in the shadows.

With Professor Charles Xavier’s team fractured and the truth behind Jean Grey’s murder buried deep, Cyclops and Angel must navigate a web of betrayal and secrets—especially when a mysterious figure named Robert Halloway begins to unravel a past that threatens to consume them all.
