X-Men: The 198 #5
In "untitled," the X-Men face a dire threat as Mr. M, a mutant of immense power, begins leading the remaining mutants away from the safety of the Xavier Institute. With Sentinels failing to stop him, desperation sets in—until Johnny Dee strikes a dangerous alliance with General Lazer, using his control powers to force Leech to touch Mr. M, temporarily neutralizing him. The aftermath leaves the mutants stunned and returned to the Institute, but the question lingers: can even death truly end the menace of Mr. M? Written by David Hine and illustrated by Jim Muniz, with inks by Don Hillsman II, colors by Matt Milla, and letters by Joe Caramagna, this 2006 issue features a cover by Juan Doe.

The X-Men try to stop Mr. M from leading most of the remaining mutants on Earth away from the safety of the Xavier Institute but are not very successful against the very powerful mutant. Mr. M is even able to rebuff the Sentinels that get involved. From back in camp, Johnny Dee makes a deal with General Lazer and uses his powers of control to cause Leech to touch Mr. M, negating his powers, so that Magma can kill him. Stunned by this turn of events, the mutants are taken back to the institute. But is even death enough to stop the awesome powers of Mr. M?
