Synopsis:
Mesmero hypnotizes Phoenix during a moment when she is being careless. He finds that he cannot force himself on her but he can still use her to get revenge on the X-Men. With her help, he manages to ensnare all the X-Men, save for Wolverine, who is too animalistic to control. However, his hypnotized fellow X-Men beat him into unconsciousness. Mesmero then decides to have the X-Men work as circus artists for him, both to humiliate them and to make some profit from it.

Quotes:
"This isn't fair! I've done what no one else ever has -- I've beaten the X-Men! I have them completely in my power, at my mercy, my slightest whim their eager command! And I haven't a clue what to do next! Magneto -- he'd know, curse him! Probably has a billion revenge scenarios, each more delightfully cruel than the last. But he's never won. I have -- and I'm stuck!" —Mesmero
