"King of Pain (Kings of Pain, Pt. 4)"
Continued from the Uncanny X-Men Annual #15. Proteus has been resurrected and X-Factor is responding to the events in Scotland.

The other teams (X-Force, the New Warriors, and the Muir Island mutants) band together to offer Proteus the last two options they know of: normalcy or death. Proteus's decision could affect how the world is seen forevermore.
