Avengers and X-Men: Axis (2014 series) #3

Magneto leads the team of villains against Red Onslaught; meanwhile, Deadpool tries to drag Iron Man to safety while pouring out an endless stream of nonsense, including asking to become an Avenger. Loki and Doctor Doom trade barbs with each other (and Magneto). Elsewhere, Quentin Quire and Genesis are struggling to keep Onslaught’s telepathic hate stream blocked. Suddenly Red Onslaught is confronted by Captain America—who turns out to be Mystique in disguise; she was the distraction so that the Enchantress can cast a love spell on the Skull to bring him under her power. This works until the Absorbing Man crashes though a Sentinel’s chest a la ALIEN, breaking Amora’s enchantment; Quentin Quire also fails and the villain’s full fury is unleashed and he brings several of the assembled baddies under his control. Magneto rescues Scarlet Witch and Dr. Strange from captivity so that they can attempt the spell that would bring Professor X’s consciousness to the fore. The enslaved enemies attack and Genesis fights them off; Strange is hypnotized by the Skull and Wanda teams with Doom to cast the spell; suddenly order and chaos are brought together in a large ball which slowly dissipates over Genosha. When the air clears, the captive heroes are released from the bodies of the destroyed Sentinels. They discover the unconscious body of the Red Skull, who has returned to normal. The X-Men led by Cyclops want to take the Skull back to the School to see if any of Xavier’s mind is still there. The Avengers, led by the new Captain America, insist on imprisoning him at Avengers Tower to be put on trial. The aged Steve Rogers comes forward and casts his vote with the Avengers. Genesis—now a grown man—ends the stalemate by revealing that Xavier’s consciousness is completely gone from the Red Skull’s mind. By this point, Havok is so steamed that he resigns from the Avengers Unity Team and leaves with the X-Men; Wasp looks after him sadly as she rejoins her team….
