Synopsis

Once reporter turned pulp inspired hero, Tom Halloway, convinces the X-Men that he wants to help them find Jean Grey's killer, he takes them back to his base of operations--the abandoned Welfare Penitentiary where he grew up surrounded by criminals (his father was the warden). Tom rescues Anne-Marie, another of Xavier's charges who has amazing powers of mimicry, from the police who want to use her to take down crime boss Unus. Cyclops tracks down one of Jean's other lovers, the boat captain, Logan, who wields a deadly set of claws.
