Chapter Summaries

Logan and Reyes reached the core laboratory as Miles and the others stripped Mr. Sinister of his powers and Miles burned away his body and immortal soul. After the Mutants confirmed his death, Magneto redirected a nuclear missile toward the White House and disabled its fuse, leaving it embedded harmlessly in the lawn as a warning.

Miles and Aurora arrived in 2014 New York, a world without mutants, where Spider-Man fought crime as a celebrated hero. After surveying the Osborn Corporation’s secret research, Miles avoided getting entangled in its coming chaos and chose the United States Atomic Energy Research Center as his next target, where Otto Octavius led a nuclear fusion project.
