Arc 38The Artificial Sun Crisis

Henry helped Lorna Dane discover her family and begin adjusting to her mutant abilities, while Skye accepted his help with her stolen money. At Otto Octavius’s Artificial Sun test, sabotage caused a catastrophic failure that reawakened a destructive power in Henry, leaving him in the hospital with his left-eye abilities restored.

  • Henry learned that Lorna Dane was searching for her biological father, identified her amulet as a possible link to Magneto, and arranged a DNA test that confirmed she and Quicksilver were half-siblings.
  • Quicksilver told Lorna that their father was Erik Lehnsherr, and Lorna’s emotions triggered her mutant powers when she reunited with Lorin Dane.
  • Henry helped Lorna settle in New York, gave her a power-inhibiting pendant and physics books for training, and prepared an apartment for her.
  • Henry let Quicksilver into his secret base, then accepted an invitation to witness Otto Octavius’s Artificial Sun ignition test after judging that a failure could be disastrous.
  • At the demonstration, Otto ignited the Artificial Sun, but alarms sounded as the system became unstable and Henry discovered that someone had changed its settings.
  • Henry and Spider-Man tried to contain the runaway generator as Doctor Octopus lost control, and a Pumpkin Bomb carrying more Tritium made the Artificial Sun expand.
  • The plasma was drawn into Henry’s left eye, reactivating a destructive power and causing him to collapse as it fused with him.
  • Henry woke in the hospital and found that his left eye had turned red and unpredictably regained X-ray, electromagnetic, and Heat Vision.

Henry tracked Doctor Octopus’s plan to restart the Artificial Sun while Spider-Man and S.H.I.E.L.D. pursued him. As S.H.I.E.L.D. converged on the shipyard, Henry’s team prepared to ambush its agents.

  • Henry’s unstable Heat Vision burned away his hair and wrecked a hospital bathroom, and he learned that Rose Octavius was in critical condition after Doctor Octopus killed the operating-room staff and vanished.
  • Henry investigated his new powers, increased Alexei Shostakov’s authority over the surveillance network, and directed it to monitor Norman Osborn and Otto Octavius.
  • Doctor Octopus recruited Adrian Toomes to source equipment, abducted Norman Osborn, and demanded a pound of Tritium from Harry Osborn.
  • S.H.I.E.L.D. set up a tracked Tritium ransom exchange, but Doctor Octopus escaped through the sewers while Spider-Man and the agency searched for him.
  • Spider-Man fought Doctor Octopus across rooftops and onto a speeding subway train, while Anya Corazon stopped the train by taking control from the rear cabin.
  • Henry located Doctor Octopus’s shipyard through the Artificial Sun generator’s power requirements and asked Alexei’s group to delay S.H.I.E.L.D. so the experiment could begin.
  • Alexei equipped the team with upgraded armor and mechs, and they took positions to ambush S.H.I.E.L.D. with tranquilizer darts.
  • Nick Fury sent Barbara Morse and a S.H.I.E.L.D. convoy to the shipyard, where an unseen attacker caused an agent to collapse as the team arrived.
