As with Chamber in Uncanny X-Men, Emma Frost is not a member of
the team yet, despite the team roster at the start of the book,
so she's not listed as a Feature Character.
Cyclops and Wolverine find the Mastermold in South America as a squad of Sentinels are launched. Their X-wing is soon attacked by new small Sentinels. Their plane crashes and they activate the self-destruct. The Sentinels pursue them and capture Wolverine and Ugly John while Cyclops is left barely conscious with his visor destroyed. Inside the Mastermold, Donald Trask continues to have doubts about his role in Mutant genocide. Ms Nova tries to convince him it's the right thing to do, but having completed copying his DNA she no longer needs him so she kills him. The Sentinels now respond to her. Her first squad of Sentinels have already attacked Cape Town in South Africa on their way to their proper destination. She has Ugly John electrocuted but left just alive. Wolverine breaks free and attacks her. Cyclops arrives and puts Ugly John out of his misery. Wolverine can tell though that Ms. Nova has already succeeded in something because of her smile. In Genosha, Emma Frost is teaching a class of young girl telepaths when the classroom is destroyed in an explosion. The Sentinels have arrived and begin tearing in to the capital city. Using Cerebra, Professor Xavier cries as the population of Genosha is brutally wiped out.
