In "Dark Destiny," Jean Grey’s struggle during the Z'Nox battle takes a surreal turn as she dreams of godlike power, while the X-Men and the Fantastic Four fight to hold back the alien threat—culminating in Mr. Fantastic banishing the Z'Nox to the Negative Zone. Meanwhile, Iceman remains under the watchful care of a mysterious stranger with a chilling past, and ten-year-old Ashley Martin stumbles upon a Sentinel in her own backyard. Written and illustrated by John Byrne, with inks by Tom Palmer, colors by Greg Wright, and letters by Byrne, the cover by Byrne captures the story’s tense, otherworldly tone.
