Uncanny X-Men #305

« The Measure of the Man »: Rogue and Bishop thwart an attack on Iceman while he visits Opal Tanaka, though the assailants dissolve after minor wounds; Opal breaks up with him upon learning the X-Men used her as bait without warning. Capturing one attacker, Rogue’s power-absorption backfires, turning her into loose, wrapped skin until Bishop tackles her, using his own power to short hers out and restore her — revealing the attacker as an artificial construct linked to a single word, « Hodge. » In Washington, Xavier and Storm meet a contact who offers an anti-Magneto exoskeleton; Storm steals only its specifications, leaving the suit behind and telling Xavier the X-Men must never steal for him again.
