[edit] Description
This volume re-enacts the old tale of Momotaro. It sets the x-men into this story to play out the traditional roles of the characters within the original. Within the story, Momotaro has the abilities of the x-men Cyclops, allowing him to shoot beams from his eyes. Because of this ability he remains in seclusion until a great monk comes to him (symbolism as professor x came to him during the original x-men series) and convinces him to use his power for good. From this, they go off to defeat a horde of demons.[5]
