Chapter Summaries

Spider-Man and the X-Men arrived in Raccoon City and met Betty Ross and Lieutenant Colonel Kathleen Sparr after the immediate threat was eliminated. Betty explained why the U.S. military had dispatched an assessment unit, while the group realized the monsters were unlike the vampires and werewolves the troops expected to face.

• Spider-Man swung into the city and asked where the monsters were, while Wolverine said he had not seen any.
• Betty Ross emerged with Gwen Stacy, and Kathleen Sparr introduced Betty to the X-Men.
• Cyclops explained that the X-Men had come after a friend warned them of danger and questioned the military's presence.
• Betty told Cyclops that the military had sent an assessment unit to investigate possible vampire or werewolf outbreaks, but its specialized ammunition had no effect on the monsters.
• Jean Grey introduced herself as the medical team's chief attending physician, and Spider-Man said he had come to find a cure and resolve the crisis.
• Green Arrow Duck confirmed that the threat was gone and led the Animal Squad into the night sky.

The X-Men and Green Arrow Duck’s team established a rooftop base near the military outpost and divided up their work responding to the outbreak. They set out to help civilians, develop a cure, secure specimens, and maintain communications while operating separately from the military.

• Professor X explained that the X-Men would work independently of the military and assigned Scott and Ororo to lead separate civilian rescue teams while Qin assisted with cure research and quarantine planning.
• Green Arrow Duck asked Spider-Man to capture live infected specimens and warned him about the risk of infection; Spider-Man insisted that infected people might still be saved.
• Green Arrow Duck assigned Bonnie to improve communications, ordered the others to clear the building and capture monsters if possible, and asked them to leave someone guarding the base.
• Spider-Man leapt from the rooftop, and Cyclops departed with several younger X-Men, including Colossus.
• Storm arranged for Bonnie to upgrade the communications system, while Jean Grey helped Green Arrow Duck install the research equipment.

Green Arrow Duck and Jean Grey set up a makeshift laboratory and examined a zombie to learn how the infection affected its body. Their tests showed widespread tissue decay and abnormal cell division, but the zombie remained mobile even after its organs and brain were removed.

• Green Arrow Duck and Jean Grey assembled their equipment beside the Blackbird Jet, with Jean powering her medical instruments from the aircraft.
• Spider-Man brought a bundle of zombies with relatively mild symptoms, and Green Arrow Duck built a wire enclosure to hold them.
• Spider-Man removed one zombie from the bundle, and Green Arrow Duck strapped it to a hospital bed for examination.
• Jean Grey tested the zombie and found that its skin cells divided abnormally fast and died before fully developing.
• Green Arrow Duck dissected the zombie with Spider-Man's permission and found its organs and brain badly decayed, yet the body still moved.
• Green Arrow Duck noticed it was dinnertime and started thinking about finding food.

During the second round of autopsies, Spider-Man and the others investigated zombie physiology and found that the pathogen was a mutated vampire virus. The discussion paused when Green Arrow Duck carried Colossus and a captured Licker up to the rooftop for examination.

• Spider-Man shared his autopsy findings, while Jean Grey and Green Arrow Duck considered how zombies remained active and how their bodies might avoid decomposition.
• Jean Grey identified the pathogen as a virus, and Spider-Man recognized similarities to the vampire virus.
• Green Arrow Duck explained how vampire-virus victims could reanimate as bloodthirsty, rotting creatures, and said he had learned about them while fighting vampires with Blade and old Whistler.
• Professor X asked Jean Grey to use her telekinesis to bring up an unusual creature Scott had captured, but Green Arrow Duck offered to carry it himself.
• Green Arrow Duck flew Colossus and the captured Licker to the rooftop, where Spider-Man reacted to the monster's appearance.

Cyclops and Professor X concluded that humans had created the monsters and that the outbreak might be tied to a nearby laboratory with a possible cure. After Storm reported that the military had sealed off the city, Professor X decided they could no longer wait and would act forcefully to save civilians and protect themselves.

• Colossus told Professor X that Cyclops had captured a Licker after encountering it and another monster at a church.
• Cyclops argued that the monsters attacking the military had been organized and that the captured Licker proved humans had created them.
• Green Arrow Duck analyzed the Licker's spinal fluid and suggested finding the laboratory and its research data could lead to a cure.
• Storm reported that troops had blockaded the city's perimeter, while Lieutenant Colonel Kathleen Sparr claimed she knew nothing about the blockade.
• Professor X suspected the people behind the outbreak were limiting the fallout and decided the group would act forcefully to save civilians and protect themselves.

Green Arrow Duck organized the heroes into separate search teams to investigate the outbreak and locate its human perpetrators, while Bullhead, Bonnie, and Eagle Armor guarded the base. As the teams departed, Professor X worried that humanity’s cruelty might leave mutants with no place in the future.

• Green Arrow Duck distributed communicators and proposed splitting up to search Raccoon City, while keeping teams connected to the base.
• Bullhead stayed behind with Bonnie and Eagle Armor to guard the base and respond to distress calls, while Green Arrow Duck, the Ursa Major Mecha, and Spider-Man headed out separately.
• Bonnie showed Professor X a projected map, and he sent Cyclops, Storm, and Wolverine with groups of X-Men to investigate different areas.
• Jean Grey stayed at the base to analyze the virus and treat anyone injured, while Professor X examined the restrained monster.
• Professor X told Jean Grey that humanity’s cruelty made him fear there might be no place for mutants in the world’s future.

Green Arrow Duck searched Umbrella facilities in Raccoon City for information about the T-virus and found Alice Abernathy unconscious in a hospital laboratory. He woke her and destroyed the surveillance equipment, leaving Alice newly conscious but with little memory.
