Synopsis:
Dr. Doom has captured Arcade. In response, Miss Locke kidnaps the X-Men's loved ones in order to compel them to help rescue her boss. Xavier calls in Havok, Polaris and Iceman to assist. Storm, Wolvie, Colossus, Angel and Nightcrawler try to infiltrate Castle Doom (well, the temporary Castle Doom in upstate New York) while the rest head off to Murderworld. Storm is wined and dined by Victor while her comrades fight their way in. Arcade joins them, more as a guest than a prisoner. When Doom is attacked, he encases Storm in metal and then turns his attention on the rest of the team.

Notes:
Dave Cockrum reports 2006 that "I did loose pencils in blue. Editor Ann Nocenti referred to them as 'shakedowns'. But everything was there." After being deposed from Latveria in Fantastic Four #200, Doom has set up shop in the medieval castle Toad was running as an amusement park in Marvel Team-Up #68.
