In "The Stranger," a pivotal moment in the What If? Civil War series, the fate of the Shi'ar Empire hangs in the balance as Vulcan is consumed by the M'Kraan crystal and awakens with the full power of the Phoenix. Written by Chris Yost and brought to life by artist Larry Stroman, with inks by Jonathan Sibal, colors by Christina Strain, and letters by Jeff Powell, this issue explores the consequences of unchecked power and the fragile line between hero and tyrant. The X-Men face their most dangerous foe yet when Havok and Rachel return to Earth with a warning—only to find Vulcan’s wrath already closing in.
