X-Men: Proteus #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Marvel Premiere Classic hardcover collects the classic 'Proteus' storyline from the late 1970s, featuring the X-Men—including Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, and Nightcrawler—battling the reality-warping mutant Proteus in a tense, psychological horror-tinged adventure. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by John Byrne, the story showcases the team's early dynamics and the threat of a villain who can possess and destroy anyone in his path.
In "There's Something Awful on Muir Island!", Chris Claremont and John Byrne deliver a tense, character-driven X-Men tale as Moira tests Jean’s Phoenix abilities under mounting strain. When Jean’s mind begins unraveling from Mastermind’s illusions and Moira uncovers a shocking escape, Beast races to reunite the X-Men—knowing their presence on Muir Island may be the only hope to stop what’s coming. The cover by Dave Cockrum and Terry Austin captures the eerie dread of the island’s secrets.
When Jean Grey’s Phoenix powers are tested by Moira MacTaggert, her mind begins to fracture under strange, invasive visions—hallucinations that feel all too real. As Moira uncovers the terrifying truth that Proteus has escaped, the X-Men are called back to Muir Island, where the line between mind and monster grows dangerously thin.
When the X-Men gather on Muir Isle to confront the dangerously powerful Proteus—Moira MacTaggert’s son—Jean Grey struggles to distinguish reality from the lingering illusions spun by Mastermind. As the team faces a foe whose mind bends reality itself, old wounds and fractured trust test their resolve.
After their shocking first clash with Proteus, Cyclops rallies the X-Men for a desperate second stand. With Proteus now possessing the body of his father, Joe MacTaggert, the team faces a terrifying new threat—one that blurs the line between enemy and kin.
