Synopsis

TAPPED OUT The Alliance of Evil, comprising of Tower, Frenzy and two newly introduced mutants, Timeshadow and Stinger are shown to be chasing a man called Michael Nowlan.  Stinger threatens to fry him with his electrical powers though Michael knows he is needed alive and manages to find a car and escape.  Stinger readies herself to destroy the car with Michael in it, when she is stopped by Timeshadow who is worried about what their master will do to them if Michael is killed, though Stinger reveals that without Michaels mutant powers they'll all start to have withdrawals soon, something she can't handle.  The others soothe her by stating Nowlan has escaped before and they've always brought him back and this time they have a good idea where he's heading.  The members of X-Factor are working out in the... FIRST APPEARANCE: Stinger, Timeshadow and Apocalypse (Cameo).
