X-men Schism 3


A notably difference in this issue is it is penciled by another artist than from previous two issues and with very different style. The X-men representatives of Emma Frost, iceman, Colossus, Namor and Magneto attends the opening of the mutant museum. Unknown to them the new Hellfire Club led a bunch of kids are in the process of springing a surprise attack.




Mostly the crux of the story centers on the attack at the museum. The X-men underestimated their opponents because they are kids. But the Hellfire Club kids comes prepared with all the tools made to disable each X-men.

One by one the X-men are defeated and subdued by devices implanted on the face. The most interesting method are the one used to subdue Magneto by using his own magnetic power against himself. Cyclops and Wolverine on hearing what happens rushed to the scene. One of the mutants, Idie managed to hide undetected as she made frantic calls to Cyclops about the situation. In the end she saves the day by blasting the remaining minions of the Hellfire Club that is left but not before setting the place ablaze while the few leaders of the Hellfire club escaped.  A bomb expleded shortly after and it was no ordinary bomb as it ignites a magnetic force that assembles something resembling a Sentinel robot.
