Men\u00adtal\u00adlo is back. The long-time psy\u00adchic-for-hire (he dates back to the ear\u00adly days of Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. and his work\u00ading rela\u00adtion\u00adship with the Fix\u00ader) is now work\u00ading for Rox\u00adon, one of the major (and malev\u00ado\u00adlent) cor\u00adpo\u00adrate play\u00aders in the Mar\u00advel Uni\u00adverse. He\u2019s on a ship bound for one of those places you don\u2019t want to go, the appro\u00adpri\u00adate\u00adly named Mon\u00adster Island. Rox\u00adon paid big bucks to Japan for the drilling rights to the island and appar\u00adent\u00adly Men\u00adtal\u00adlo is their key to paci\u00adfy\u00ading the natives. Natives that stand over a hun\u00addred feet tall and breathe fire, or resem\u00adble pre\u00adhis\u00adtoric dinosaurs with radioac\u00adtive shells.<\/p>\n
Except he does\u00adn\u2019t see it that way and he does\u00adn\u2019t care any\u00adthing about the oth\u00aders. (He seems a lit\u00adtle off his game, pos\u00adsi\u00adbly even depressed. Not a good thing for one of the most pow\u00ader\u00adful psy\u00adchics on the plan\u00adet.) With the mon\u00adsters under his men\u00adtal con\u00adtrol, he can do about any\u00adthing, and that includes send\u00ading a cou\u00adple to stomp Tokyo, and no one can stop him.<\/p>\n
Well, except maybe the X\u2011Men, sev\u00ader\u00adal of whom just hap\u00adpen to be in Tokyo at the time.<\/p>\n
