File:X-Men Vol 1 95 001.jpg

Description
Storm and Banshee, the team's flying members, rescue the others from falling, while Colossus survives the fall in his steel-hard form. Invading the base, the X-Men fight off attacks by gas, hypnotized troops, and the Ani-Men, whom they defeat, although Banshee and Thunderbird are knocked unconscious. While Cyclops and the others race to disarm the missiles, Banshee and Thunderbird revive and pursue Count Nefaria, who attempts to escape in a jet. Thunderbird leaps aboard and begins smashing his way into the aircraft, ignoring Banshee's pleas and Prof. X's mental exhortations to get off. His efforts finally cause the plane to explode, and the X-Men for the first time lose a member in combat.
