In X-Men #3 (1993), the Hand resurrects Omega Red—once Arkady—in a move that sends shockwaves through the mutant underground. While the X-Men test their limits in a high-stakes, mutant-powered basketball game, Moira wrestles with guilt over her role in the Magneto incident and walks away. Just as Gambit and Rogue head out on a chaperoned date, their moment is shattered by Omega Red’s return and the Hand’s sinister intervention. Written by Jim Lee and John Byrne, with art by Jim Lee and Scott Williams, and colored by Joe Rosas, the issue’s cover by Jim Lee and Scott Williams captures the tension in bold, dynamic strokes.
