Meanwhile, in an desert in Egypt, the X-Men had captured the Pharaoh and are arguing with Alex Summers about his powers, and he is worried about how danger his powers are. The local police arrive and recognize the Pharaoh as Professor Abdol, a well known archaeologist, and try to arrest the X-Men for destroying the temple.
