Uncanny X-Men #52: Cyclops In Fetish Gear

Erik the Red, who has just arrived, is handed second in command of Magneto's forces (man, Magneto is trying to compete with Lorna over who can make the dumbest decisions), displacing Mesmero. He orders the Demi-men to go and scout the surrounding areas.

Then the X-Men attack unseen, as it turns out that Erik the Red was Cyclops in disguise the whole time, and the suit lets him redirect his eye-beams out of his fingertips. A huge fight begins, and Magneto orders Lorna to attack the X-Men, she complies because again "oh he is evil but he is still my father"... girl has issues.
As the battle takes a turn for the worst, Iceman arrives to tell Lorna that he investigated everything and the whole claim that Magneto is her father is bullshit. She turns on Magneto, who escapes, but the Demi-men have been defeated.

X-tra Notes: And with that we finish the Demi-men storyline. An enjoyable romp with fun villains, a gratuitous amount of idiot ball, and some extra silliness with Scott going undercover.

Bonus Fashion Review

Look, I'm just going to assume that Jean designed the Erik the Red costume, since she designed all the others. The fact that this is what they think is an "evil mutant" design says something. Very fetishy. Wonder if she had him keep it for later "adventures". Also, he clearly waxed for this.


Rating: 12/10 just for the sheer audacity.
