In almost a video game-like fashion, our mutants are pitted against each other in a trial not unlike Mortal Kombat, where the winners move on to glory. In this case glory would be a spot on Asteroid M, where Magneto is finally revealed and his plan is to enhance mutants to the next level.
I loved how easily Jean disposed of Toad, and I agreed with all the choice of winners, including Rouge, the best of the kids. The highilght is Mystique vs Storm. But the side-story of Cyclops reuniting with his long lost brother, Havok (who is now a surfer dude?) is underdeveloped. Not enough emotion there for brothers who thought the other was dead. They looked kinda cool in their enhanced versions, though.moreless
As mysterious metal pods appear, picking up the mutants one at a time, Cerebro detects a new mutant in Hawaii: Alex Summers -- Scott's believed-to-be deceased brother.
