From X-Men #125, the titles of each episode are inspired by a quotation from Shakespeare. That is the last: "Then imitate the action of the tiger" (Henry V. Act III, Scene I). Its meaning is linked to the sentence it precedes, "Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood...", which refers to the final fight against Proteus.
