Era #7, Part 24: Generation X #12-17

Grade: B-

This run keeps the energy despite the somewhat mediocre stories (the return of Emplate and the C-lister villain the X-Cutioners?). The real fun is watching the teens bond as they learn more about each other.

[3-Stars] 12 - "The Return of Emplate" Emplate is back, and this time he has a team helping him capture Generation X.

[3-Stars] 13 - "It's All Relative" M remains free continuing to elude Emplate as she desperately tries to reach the X-Men for help.

[3-Stars] 14 - "Jubilee's Top Ten Reasons Why Emplate Is a Loser!" Bishop helps Generation X against Emplate and his motley team of mutant helpers.

[3-Stars] 15 - "Death In The Family" Sync is not only missing but under the thrall of Emplate. He has gone back home to St. Louise, and it is up to Generation X to help him before he hurts his family. Meanwhile, Chamber is feeling worse after a brief encounter with Onslaught.

[3-Stars] 16 - "Out of Sync!" In St. Louise, Generation X attempts to help Sync who is still under Emplate's influence. It is a difficult feat since he can "synchronize" with their powers anytime they get close to him. In Massachusetts, Skin decides that Chamber needs professional help from Professor X.

[3-Stars] 17 - "The Teeth of Our Skin" Special guest star Stan Lee narrates this tale of deadly cat and mouse. On their way to see Professor X, Skin and Chamber are attacked by the X-Cutioner who believes Skin murdered the real Angelo Espinosa.
