Brief Description:
Zaladane and her forces return to Antarctica and their towered fortress in the Savage Land. Havok reveals himself only to be captured. Bound and drugged to prevent him from using his powers, he is forced to watch as Zaladane steals the powers of Polaris. Dazzler, Colossus, and Psylocke arrive on the scene and are immediately ambushed by the Savage Land Mutates. After the X-Men are captured, they are brought before Zaladane. Polaris, to everyone's surprise, begins to manifest new powers of strength and invulnerability. Swiftly, she frees the rest of the X-Men and other prisoners who revolt against Zaladane. With the tower in flames, the X-Men flee the fortress in a skysled, only to realize that Zaladane is still alive and has activated the tower's defensive shields. Before the X-Men can decide their next move, they are teleported back to their base in Australia by Gateway, much to the concern of Psylocke who experienced the X-Men’s death in a precognitive vision.

Story Notes:
In the credits Marc Silvestri's first name is misspelled as Mark.
This issue is the first appearance of the Savage Land Mutate Worm.
The High Evolutionary disappeared at the end of the 1988 Marvel Annuals crossover The Evolutionary War in Avengers Annual #17. He would reappear in Thor #407 where he would once again take corporeal form.
Polaris is indeed freed of the influence of Malice. Malice turns up again X-Factor #102-105 possessing Havok in an attempt to kill Polaris, to prevent that Sinister can permanently bond the two women once more.
Nereel's son, Peter, is unnamed in the text of the story. It is his second appearance after first appearing in Uncanny X-Men Annual #12, where it was heavily suggested that he is the son of Colossus.
Zaladane resurfaces in Uncanny X-Men #274 using her newly acquired magnetic powers to conquer the entire Savage Land and trying to steal Magneto’s energies.
Back in her appearances in various Captain Britain titles of Marvel UK, Betsy Braddock was more a precog than a telepath. This is the first time since joining the X-Men that this part of her powers is adressed again.
