Synopsis
| - In New York, Dr. Strange suddenly feels a severe pain via a premonition of a returning, ancient evil. At the same moment, inside the bowels of the Cage, Reb introduces his discovery to his buddy Axel. It is a partially decomposed being by the name of Mauvais. After accidentally awakening him, they cut a deal with him. In exchange for killing Wolverine for them, they will release him. Meanwhile, at the medical ward, a member of the Skulls goes to finish off an already severely injured Hank McCoy. However, before he is able to kill him, Hank is saved by Peepers, who snaps and kills the Skull. Elsewhere, still stuck in the Hole, Wolverine receives another note from “a friend.” Shortly afterwards, he is drugged by Reb and Axel and taken to Mauvais. Once there, Mauvais bits him numerous times and even eats his eye, gaining strength in the process. Finally with enough power to escape, Mauvais disappears. Infuriated, Reb goes to kill Wolverine himself but is taken out by none other than Sabretooth with a number of agents in tow, who proceed to free Wolverine, Hank McCoy and Peepers from the Cage. Meanwhile, Nick Fury hires the Shiver Man to trail S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Brent Jackson.
