X-Men Saga #7

Beast tracks the missing X-Men to a dusty Texas carnival where they’re performing as freaks under a mysterious spell. With the team trapped in Mesmero’s mind games, the real danger isn’t the act—it’s what happens when the illusion shatters and Magneto arrives to turn the spectacle into something far more dangerous.

In "Magnéto triomphant !", Magneto holds the X-Men captive in a hidden lair beneath an active volcano, exacting revenge by trapping them in helpless, voiceless chairs while a robotic nanny tends to their every need. With Cyclops, Phoenix, Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Banshee, Nightcrawler, Beast, and even Mesmero and Nanny I caught in his web, the balance of power shifts in a chilling display of control and psychological torment.

In "Le dernier atout," the X-Men break free from their prison chairs and confront Magneto in a high-stakes showdown beneath the Antarctic ice. With the base collapsing and lava surging through its halls, Phoenix shields Beast as the team fights to survive the inferno—only to vanish into the molten depths, leaving their fate uncertain.
