X-Men Noir: Mark of Cain #[nn]

In the shadowed jungles of Madripoor, Angel, Logan, Cyclops, and Judd steal the ruby of Cyttorak for Cain Marko—only to be betrayed when he vanishes without payment. When Marko is found dead at Genosha Bay prison, Angel infiltrates the facility as a prisoner, unaware that Professor Xavier and his X-Men are already inside. As secrets unravel behind prison walls, the line between ally and enemy blurs in a game where trust is the rarest currency.

In the shadowed halls of Genosha Bay prison, Angel—once a man of wings and hope—finds himself trapped behind steel and secrets, his freedom slipping through his fingers. Abducted by the X-Men and brought before Professor Xavier, he’s thrust into the brutal, sleepless trials of Project Wideawake, where the line between mind and madness begins to blur. With Emma Frost watching from the warden’s chair and the past closing in, Angel must confront not only the experiment but the echoes of who he once was.

In "Three," the fragile line between identity and madness fractures when Thomas, haunted by the memory of his dead brother Robert, is pushed to the brink by Professor Xavier’s Project Wideawake. With Wanda Magnus at his side and Angel’s allies waiting on the edge of desperation, the group races to claim the ruby of Cyttorak aboard a freighter—only to discover the X-Men have already arrived, setting the stage for a clash of wills and secrets.

In "Four," Cyclops leads a dangerous gambit that fractures the team, dragging Angel, Logan, and Judd to the Dirigi-Carrier under the guise of unity. With the fate of the real ruby hanging in the balance, Angel’s desperate search for the truth takes him to Wanda’s apartment, where a tense confrontation with Professor Xavier reveals a past buried in betrayal—and a confession that may be the key to everything.
