APPROACH.
ROGER THAT. YOU'RE
CLEARED FOR LANDING.
BASE, I HAVE HOSTILE
FIRE AT EIGHT O'CLOCK.
LOOKED LIKE STINGERS.
YOU GOT ANOTHER
ONE ON YOUR TAIL.
TAKE EVASIVE ACTION.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW
MUCH LONGER I'M GOING TO BE...
I'M LOSING POWER.
GOING DOWN! GOING DOWN!
OKAY, SO THAT'S JUST GREAT.
YOU HAVE MANAGED TO DELIVER
ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPONS
ON EARTH RIGHT INTO
THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOODIEST
WAR ON THE PLANET.
THIS IS NOT OUR FAULT.
NO?
BUT I KNOW WHO
HAS TO CLEAN IT UP.
I AM ADAM KANE.
I WAS A PIONEER
OF GENETIC RESEARCH,
MANIPULATING DNA
TO SAVE HUMAN LIVES.
BUT IN MANY, THEIR
GENES UNEXPECTEDLY MUTATED.
THEY DEVELOPED
SUPERHUMAN ABILITIES.
TOGETHER WITH FOUR
OF THE MOST POWERFUL,
I FIGHT TO PROTECT A WORLD
THAT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WE EXIST.
WE ARE MUTANT X.
MY NAME IS CAPTAIN
DANIEL MORRISON.
I'M IN THE CUSTODY OF THE
LIBERATION ARMY OF KOVAKHSTAN.
THE ONLY CONDITION FOR
MY SAFE RETURN IS COMPLETE AND
IMMEDIATE END TO ALL OUTSIDE
INTERVENTION IN THEIR COUNTRY.
I REQUEST NO ATTEMPTS
BE MADE TO RESCUE ME,
AS IT WILL ONLY RESULT
IN MY IMMEDIATE EXECUTION.
IT WAS A COVERT OPERATION.
HE WAS DELIVERING A PIECE
OF TECHNOLOGY THE GOVERNMENT
FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINED
FROM ONE OF THE COMPANIES
THAT I'M CONNECTED WITH.
LIKE ANY GREAT INVENTION,
OUR FRIENDS IN THE MILITARY ARE
TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO USE IT TO KILL
PEOPLE MORE EFFICIENTLY.
SO, WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO WALTZ INTO KOVAKHSTAN
TO HELP THIS GOVERNMENT...
DICTATORSHIP.
THEY HAVEN'T HAD AN
ELECTION IN FIFTEEN YEARS.
HELP THIS DICTATORSHIP
TO GET IT BACK.
WELL, NOBODY'S GETTING IT BACK.
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS
FOR EITHER SIDE TO HAVE.
EXCUSE ME, OKAY?
HAS ANYBODY THOUGHT ABOUT
THE PILOT'S BEING HELD HOSTAGE?
THEY'RE PURSUING A
DIPLOMATIC COURSE OF ACTION
TO TRY TO EFFECT HIS RELEASE.
FOR WHAT?
A MISSION THEY CAN'T EVEN ADMIT
THEY WERE ON IN THE FIRST PLACE?
THEY'RE GOING
TO LET HIM ROT, ADAM.
HE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER
PILOT THAT NEVER CAME BACK.
NOBODY'S FORGETTING
ABOUT THE PILOT, BRENNAN.
BUT IF EITHER SIDE IN THIS
WAR GETS THEIR HANDS ON THIS
WEAPON, TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE.
OKAY, SO WHEN DO WE LEAVE?
WELL, WE HAVE AN ETA
OF ONE HOUR AND COUNTING.
OH...
BRENNAN, BACK
AT SANCTUARY, WHEN YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT THE PILOT...
I'M NOT READING YOU, NOT
ANY MORE THAN A FRIEND WOULD.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
NOTHING.
I WAS MAKING SURE
ALL THE BASES WERE COVERED.
FRIENDS KNOW
WHEN YOU'RE LYING, TOO.
YOU EVER HEAR
ME TALK ABOUT MY FATHER?
JUST YOUR STEP-FATHER.
HE DIDN'T EXACTLY
SOUND LIKE A PICNIC.
I NEVER MET MY REAL DAD.
HE WAS A NAVY PILOT.
SHOT DOWN IN THE VIETNAM WAR.
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
HE WENT DOWN BEHIND ENEMY LINES.
EVENTUALLY CAUGHT AND KILLED.
THE OFFICIAL LINE WAS THAT
IT WASN'T EVEN WORTH THE RISK
TO TRY AND RESCUE HIM.
IT WOULD'VE BEEN WORTH IT TO ME.
COMMANDER.
DID YOU RECOVER THE WEAPON?
THEY LOCATED THE PLANE, BUT THE
WEAPON WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
MY TROOPS FOUND YOUR PLANE.
A 9-TON JET SITTING
IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIELD.
THAT'S NOT HARD.
BUT NO SIGN OF THE PVG WEAPON.
WHAT'S THAT?
WE DON'T HAVE TIME
TO PLAY GAMES, CAPTAIN.
IF THE GOVERNMENT TROOPS
GET TO IT BEFORE WE DO,
YOU'LL HAVE OUTLIVED
YOUR USEFULNESS.
LOOK, LADY...
 I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

OKAY, WE'RE ON
MORRISON'S APPROACH PATH.
I CAN'T SEE A THING.
I'M BRINGING HER DOWN.
HEY, ADAM, YOU READING US?
LOUD AND CLEAR.
ADAM, WE'RE ABOUT TEN CLICKS
FROM MORRISON'S LAST POSITION.
NOW, HOLD IT.
I'VE GOT YOUR ALTITUDE
AT A THOUSAND FEET.
YEAH, AND DROPPING.
LOW CEILING, ADAM,
YOU CAN'T SEE A THING.
GOTTA BRING HER DOWN.
IT'S OUR ONLY CHANCE
TO FIND THE PLANE.
YOU'RE IN HOSTILE AIRSPACE.
AT THAT ALTITUDE
YOU'RE TOO VULNERABLE.
NO, WE'RE IN STEALTH MODE.
YOU'RE INVISIBLE,
BUT NOT ARMOURED IN
THE MIDDLE OF A WAR ZONE.
LOOK, ADAM, IF YOU
WANT US TO FIND THIS THING,
WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO TAKE THAT
