In the Egyptian desert, the X-Men battle the Living Pharaoh and his men. The Pharaoh takes off with Alex and siphons off his mutant powers to turn himself into the Living Monolith. As the X-Men battle the Monolith, Alex turns the tables by taking back his power and more, stopping the Monolith and destroying the ancient temple where he has been trapped. Alex warns his friends to stay away as he has no control over the destructive powers coursing through his body.

The X-Men make it back to the mansion after their harrowing battle with Magneto only to be commanded inside by Alex and Lorna. They learn that earth is about to be attacked by the alien Z'Nox but a plan has been made to counter the invasion--a plan formulated by none other than the "dead" Professor X. Xavier returns to his charges and explains that Changeling was masquerading as him when he was killed. The X-Men board the Z'Nox space ship and attack but it is the collective power of happy thoughts funneled through Xavier into his students that ultimately drives the aliens off.

The X-Men track down the jade giant and Jean's mental powers cause him to revert to Bruce Banner. Banner tells them that he has a machine that may save Xavier but Major Talbot shows up and causes him to transform to the Hulk again. The X-Men follow him into the desert and battle him at the site of an old lab where they are able to procure the piece of machinery that brings Professor X out of his coma.

Ed Hannigan is credited in The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (Olshevsky 1987), The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (Ward 1994), and Official Index to the Marvel Universe (Vandal et al. 2009). Nick Caputo originally suggested the time frame was off but Hannigan, interviewed in 1984 by Archibald Haddock confirmed that he first arrived at Marvel in 1971 or 1972 (Amazing Heroes 45, p. 36). Hannigan recalled working regularly on Marvel's weekly British reprint comics under Tony Isabella (pp. 36–38) who separately recalled working on the weeklies from late 1972 till 1974 (tonyisabella.blogspot.com/2012/09/countdown-to-9-21-12-garage-sale_10.html). Hannigan started doing covers while working on the British weeklies (p. 38).

The original indexer credited Marie Severin.

Sources for letters credit are The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (1994) and Official Index to the Marvel Universe; The Marvel Comics Index (Olshevsky 1981) and The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (1987) attributed letters to Gaspar Saladino.
