- Jubilee: I don't understand, Professor. Why has it gotten worse?
- Professor Charles Xavier: When we saved President Kelly's life last year, he learned that not all mutants were evil. Now his followers feel betrayed. So often in our history, unhappy, misguided people have created scapegoats, blaming those that are different for the problems in their own lives.
- Storm: It is an evil in men's hearts that must be fought. If we stand up to the troublemakers, they will give up their cruel designs. If we fail, their intolerance will grow, and many could perish.
- Wolverine: [angry over a news report implicating Beast as attacking humans] We've been set up!
- Storm: Wolverine, if there is indeed a new conspiracy to turn the public against mutants, we must work to unmask it, not add to the climate of violence.
- Wolverine: Climates are your department, Storm.
- [storms out, unsheathing his claws]
- Wolverine: Unmasking is mine.
- Morph: [Morph is lying on a motel room bed] No! He's my friend! They were all my friends. I don't want to hurt them.
- [Morph clutches his head and screams]
- Morph: But why did they abandon me? Why did they leave me to die?
- [flashback to "Night of the Sentinels"]
- Morph: Didn't I tell you? Clear sailing all the way.
- [a Sentinel comes out]
- Wolverine: [unsheathes his claws] Hey, Tin Woodsman! I'm sending you back to Oz in pieces.
- [Another Sentinel comes out, about to blast Wolverine]
- Morph: Wolverine! Pull back!
- [Morph pushes Wolverine out of the way and takes the Sentinels' blasts]
- Morph: Why did they abandon me? Why did they leave me to die?
- [the X-Men retreat, leaving Morph and Beast behind. Mr. Sinister walks up to the fallen Morph]
- Mr. Sinister: You'll destroy them all.
- Morph: [back to the motel: Morph has unkempt black hair, jaundiced skin, and dark circles under his eyes] I'll destroy them all. All the X-Men!
- [shapeshifts into each X-Man he names]
- Morph: Cyclops. Storm. Wolverine!
- [falls back on the bed, groaning, then screams]
- Morph: What's making me do this?
- [groans]
- Morph: Why?
