It's a slow week. Galactus is at the opposite end of the universe. Doctor Doom is busy with administrative functions in Latveria. The Vault is actually containing all the villains that it should. Even regular crime is down.
So the two of you are working out in the danger room, having a bit of fun. Sudenly you get a telepathic message from the Professor asking you to meet him in the study.
When you get there the Professor has a worried look on his face. He asks you to sit down and watch a vdeotape. It's of a news broadcast.
The announcer says:
"Former super villain Mole Man has announced the formation of a new island nation under his leadership. He claims that his intentions are to create a sanctuary fo those that society has rejected and dubbed monsters or freaks. He says it is meant to be a place where instead of fealing the pain of being different among a sea of sameness, one can experience the joy of fitting in.
"He also claims the nation is non-nuclear, with no real army and no ambitions of conquest.
"Among the fist on the scene are Toad, formerly of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and The Thing, of the Fantastic Four, and Lockjaw, one of the mysterious Inhumans."
After the videotape has played, the Professor says, "I taped that earlier this morning. It looks like this could be an important step either towards or away from my dream of a peaceful and equal coexistance between humans and mutants. I have already used Cerebro to scan this island and it has an unusually high concentration of mutants already.
"I want some of my X-Men to keep an eye on this situation. You two are the obvious candidates for the job. You'll leave in two days on the Blackbird. Oh, and you will be taking the Morlocks with you."
