In "First Blood," Cyclops grapples with the revelation that Corsair is his father, even as the X-Men are seized by the Shi'ar and given a desperate 24-hour ultimatum: find the kidnapped Lilandra or face retaliation. With Kitty and Kurt left behind as hostages, the team turns to the Avengers—only to find Tigra alone. Racing through the new IBM complex, they battle Deathbird and the Brood in a fight for Lilandra’s freedom, only to discover Colossus wounded in the wreckage. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Dave Cockrum with inks by Bob Wiacek, this pivotal issue features a cover by Cockrum and Wiacek.

Cyclops has a hard time dealing with the fact that Corsair is his father. The X-Men are abducted by the Shi'ar and told that Lilandra has been abducted by terrorists. They are given 24 hours to find her or the Shi'ar will take matters into their own hands. Kitty and Kurt are left on their ship as hostages. The X-Men go to the Avengers for help but only find Tigra in residence. Our heroes battle Deathbird and the Brood through the new IBM complex for Lilandra's freedom. The villains take off in a spaceship and, in the ensuing rubble, the X-Men find Colossus with a spike through his chest.
