Captain America and Cyclops are snatched from their everyday
lives and immobilized aboard a Skrull spaceship. A Skull called K’thron
explains that Cadre K, a team of mutant Skrulls trained by Charles Xavier, is
now on Earth, plotting violence against Earth mutants out of revenge for the
Skrull secret invasion. He also mentions that the members of Cadre K may not show
up on Earth’s Skrull detectors. He then releases Cap and Cyke to deal with this
crisis and is amazed that they start fighting violently, Cap calling Cyke a
murderer, Cyke responding by calling Cap a hypocrite. He is even more astonished
to learn that Cyclops has killed Charles Xavier. The fight damages the
controls, sending the ship heading toward the ground; they manage to stop the
ship with only feet to spare. Cap arrests Cyclops and claps inescapable liquid
metal cuffs on him….
