Sinister turns on the implant he planted in Morph a while ago, so Morph's evil side takes over, and tries to shoot Cyclops, but Xavier uses his powers and convinces Morph not to attack. Then with his beam, Cyclops breaks Mister Sinister's body in little tiny pieces, but it starts getting back together.
