Well, ladies and gentlemen, it seems the mutant menace has infiltrated higher levels of society than ever expected. Amateur footage (video available on our website) shows Antoinette Rhodes, daughter of Tony Stark's right hand man Jim Rhodes and former Avenger Monica Rambeau, shows her unleashing dangerous mutant abilities in a crowded nightclub! Sources also confirm that the young Miss Rhodes was underage and obviously entered under a fake idea. She was seen with Anya Stark, daughter of Tony Stark, and two individuals who have not yet been identified.

It is unknown what sparked the outburst, but Rhodes demonstrated telekenetic abilities of a most dangerous nature, turning various items and pieces of furniture into lethal weapons...


...

...What other secrets is Tony Stark hiding? Who knows how many other mutants he's keeping under his thumb, just waiting for the right time to use them, should his precious Iron Man ever fail him? Stark Industries stock began to dip when video first made its way onto the internet... CONT ON PAGE 3

Asleif, frankly, had had more than enough of being cooped up at the Avengers Mansion with not only her siblings, but that ridiculous red-haired mortal girl and the rest of the so-called "Young Avengers."   And while they were not technically supposed to venture forth, when had she ever let that stop her before?

So, first using a simple spell to teleport herself outside, and then a second to adopt proper mortal guise (at least to the eyes of any weak-willed mortal), she had set about into the city.

Strange city, truly.  Fascinating, in its own way.  Very unlike the Golden Realm.  Here, there were wretched lost souls amidst spires of glory and audacity.  Contradictions everywhere she looked.

At a mortal shop, a mortal had asked if he could buy her something called "coffee."  She had accepted, largely out of curiosity.  He had been rather upset when she had walked away after excepting the drink, but a fiery gaze had sent him fleeing in the other direction, terrors conjured up in his mind enough to dispel any further conversation.

And so she sat and sipped, dipping briefly into mortal minds  to scan their thoughts.  Truly strange creatures.
