Wolverine and The X-Men

Episode 15: Hunting Grounds

First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

When an explosive event shatters the lives of the X-Men and takes away their mentor, the beaten heroes walk away from it all. Wolverine, the most legendary of all X-Men, reunites them to prevent the world's destruction.

Nightcrawler, who is already a captive on Genosha, is kidnapped along with Wanda. They have been taken by Spiral to Mojo's Hunting Grounds, an underwater dome where the aim of the game is to stay alive. Nightcrawler and Wanda are playing for their lives as they dodge and dash their deadly opponents, the Reavers.

Nightcrawler is almost feeling the gentlemanly hero until Mojo releases his guest hunter, Wolverine, who has been kidnapped, brainwashed and forced to play against the pair. Their only chance for survival is to somehow remove the mind-controlling cybernetic headgear he has on. After a few heavy blows, Nightcrawler succeeds and releases Wolverine from Mojo's mental grasp but only as the dome fills with water.

Nightcrawler manages to open a hatch and escape with Wanda and a passed-out Wolverine. They confront Mojo who cowers at their powers. They commandeer the Wildways and take Wanda back to Genosha. Magneto doesn't want to let Nightcrawler and Wolverine leave Genosha for fear they will tell the world's mutants about the prisoners he has there, but Wanda insists. She is sad to see Nightcrawler, her hero, go. Show less
