Summary
The New Mutants face a malevolent alien Brood Queen, who is boosting Danielle Moonstar's illusion-casting powers to create manifest frightening solid realities, including itself. The students are unaware that Professor Xavier himself is being controlled by the Brood Queen. Once Danielle realizes that the bizarre alien landscapes they see and the Brood Queen itself are being created by her own power, she tells Sam ("Cannonball") to knock her out, which returns everything to normal and rids them of the alien.
