    The Marauders stalk a mutant named Tommy from Los Angeles to New York City in order to find the location of the Morlocks. Once they discover the underground layer of the Morlocks they massacre hundreds of innocent mutants before either the X-Men or X-Factor can arrive to protect the rest. During the ensuing battle, Angel is crucified by Harpoon, and several of the X-Men are severly beaten.
