File:Rom Vol 1 31 001.jpg

Description
Clairton’s local hero, Torpedo, an ally of Rom, witnesses the rebirth of the wraith / human offspring Hybrid and is injured in a battle against the monster. Elsewhere in the blizzard, Rom saves a group of convict from being run over by a prison transport. The savvy convicts make him believe they are innocent slaves and, believing them, Rom frees them and decides to help the other “innocents” held in Winhust prison. In said prison, the new arrivals – four members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants – are freed by the two free members of their team, Mystique and Rom. However, between them and freedom stands Rom. Thanks to Rom and Avalanche’s injuries, the male members of the Brotherhood are taken out and only Mystique, Rogue and Destiny can flee. Rom realizes his mistake and promises to return the prisoners. The three women, in the meantime, look for shelter in an old mansion to find it inhabited by Hybrid.
