Synopsis for "Wanted: Dead or Alive.. Cyclops!"

Cyclops comes to his senses in a museum - as he's being arrested for murder! Flashback to earlier that day, when the X-Men had attended Scott's younger brother's college graduation. Alex was kidnapped by the Living Pharoah, and the X-Men track him to the museum where they battle. The X-Men ultimately rescue Alex, and then leave him and Scott alone to talk since Alex just discovered his brother is Cyclops! However, the Pharoah surprises them, knocking Scott unconcious and taking Alex prisoner again. When Cyclops comes to, the body of the "pharoah" is lying near him, and Cyke is accused of his murder. Cyclops escapes the police, and finds himself in some tunnels - where he discovers the Living Pharoah is very much not dead!

Synopsis for "The Million Dollar Angel"

Starting the Angel's origin. Warren Worthington III was an adventurous child completely unafraid of heights. As he got older, he excelled at sports, but his enormous 'shoulder blades' started attracting attention. One night he found a feather in his bed, and soon he was growing actual wings. Then one night his private school caught on fire, and disguising himself with some theatre props, he rescued a number of classmates using his wings!
