I'm sorry Mary. I really am. I thought I was helping you and I fucked it all up. And if you want to come after me alone, I deserve it. But my people are here now, and I'm not going to give you a shot at them. So it's not about me now.

X-Force gets involved in another of Kevin Sydney's old CIA cases - the hunt for the Sugar Man, and the woman who wants him - and Kevin - dead.

Plot Summary

Reports come in of a particular X-Force operative - a former CIA colleague of Kevin's - being found murdered; shortly after, Wanda and Jubilee make the discovery of another one of Kevin's contacts also murdered. Kevin's private digging uncovers a connection, a member of a CIA hit team he had sent to kill the Sugar Man, a mysterious geneticist known for his experiments on humans and mutants back in the 1990s. Mary had been captured by the Sugar Man and experimented on before being rescued by the CIA. She gained superpowers and longevity, however the process shattered her mind and she escaped the private facility she was sent to for recovery. Kevin briefs X-Force, surmising she is going after contacts which will lead her to the Sugar Man and, not knowing her motives, they make a plan to set a trap and capture her. Kevin is particularly adamant that she not be killed, which is unusual. Emma, having been in Kevin's mind previously when putting him back together, seeks further information and discovers that Kevin, who was her boss at the time, had also been having an affair with Mary and had made the decision to remove her from the field and declare her unfit - which also enabled him to distance himself from her and their relationship. It appears that Mary still holds a grudge.

The3 ambush is set in Stuttgart, and immediately goes wrong from the start. At the gate, Jubilee and Wanda are seriously injured by Mary, who gives Amanda the choice of taking her on and letting them die, or letting her go and getting them help. Amanda chooses the latter. Artie and Doug fare slightly better in the sense they aren't injured, but are clearly outmatched and can't stop her. Marie-Ange, Felicia and Natasha are the final point and are also defeated, with Marie-Ange stunned and Felicia poisoned by Nathasha's venom. Kevin tries to talk to Mary while Emma prepares a psychic ambush, only for Emma to find herself delving into another personality, one completely psychotic and violent. Emma is unprepared for the shock and is stunned, and the new personality takes the opportunity to fling Kevin and herself out of a window, shoot a bystander to steal his van, and depart, running over several pedestrians in the process and revealing her psychic ability of being able to project the pain of others into the uninjured. By the time X-Force recoups, Mary and Kevin are gone.

While X-Force are recovering and searching for Kevin, he finds himself handcuffed and wearing a powers inhibitor, which slows down his recovery from the fall. Mary is there, only it isn't the woman he knows - this Mary is far less confident, almost childlike, and wanting to talk. He manages to find out why Mary wants the Sugar Man; her powers grafts are deteriorating and she is slowly dying and she needs him to treat her. He convinces her that he'll help her find the Sugar Man and get her fixed.

Gabriel lets the team know Kevin anticipated this situation and implanted a tracker on his person that has gone off; Kevin's explanation for not telling anyone else was that he was unsure of Mary's psychic abilities and didn't want her picking up the plan. X-Force prepares to go back in, this time to take down the Sugar Man as Kevin leads them - and Mary - to him. Kevin fulfills his promise and takes Mary to the Sugar Man, and is promptly shot in the heart by her once the Sugar Man agrees to treat her. X-Force infiltrates the building, with Amanda and Clea cutting the power and Marie-Ange, Felicia and Artie creating the entrance. Gabriel, Natasha and Emma went after the Sugar Man, finding themselves almost outmatched by the man's surprise power enhancements and resorting to a use of Gabe's speed and Emma's diamond form to kill him. Kevin, who had 'hidden' another heart in his stomach to keep himself alive, awoke in a body bag in a lab and tracked down Mary... only to find she was fully recovered and it was her third, psychotic personality in charge. After a bloody fight, Mary fled, agreeing that it was no longer about him.

Trivia and Meta

Trivia

Sugar Man is a mysterious figure; a geneticist and scientists whose methods are extremely unethical and profit driven. No one knows how old he is or where he came from. He appeared first in the 70s with extremely crude methods that have been refined over the years. Due to the nature of some of his experiments, the intelligence community believes he originated out of Russia’s psionic program of the 50s and 60s, but there has been no proof. Sugar Man himself is extremely resistant to damage, can survive remarkable damage, and uses a razor sharp and variable length tongue in addition to knives in combat. While believed to be killed during combat with X-Force, his consciousness transfers automatically to a cloned body hidden half the world away.


  • During the first ambush, Jubilee had her neck broken, and while there was no damage to her spinal cord, she will be unfit for active duty for some time.
  • Marie-Ange discovered a new "price" system to her pre-cog while trying to do readings concerning Jubilee and Wanda's safety.
