Synopsis for The "X" Effect
The Metal Men is after the vault that Chemo hurled into space in the last issue. The computer calculated its trajectory and the vault landed in the Arctic.
The Metal Men and Doc arrive in the icy desert, but they are shot down and a robot made out of Liquid Oxygen attacks them, he shatters Tin with a ‘cold punch' and takes Doc. He finds himself shortly after facing Plutonium Man, who calls himself Will Magnus, as he has the destructive personality of Doc implanted. ‘Magnus' explains that after he reached critical temperature and melted deep into the Earth he became a scattered energy being, and he could no longer stay one entity, so he split himself up to one logical being and one slave that could turn into any element he ordered it to. ‘Magnus' found the vault and he is about to open it, but when he uses his plutonium powers to open the vault, his heat combusts all the money.
The Metal Men also arrive and trap the mindless drone, which cuts off communication with its master and in its panic, starts to get critically hot, cracking the ice and causing a fissure. The MM work together to slingshot Plutonium into the fissure, which quickly closes shut after an earthquake caused by the terrible energies that were loosed upon the ice.
Returning home, the general visits Doc who has just rebuilt the robots, and tells him not to worry about the burned money, as the government can print however much it wants. The fight also knocked Tina back as she were, infatuated with Will Magnus again.
