Operation Zero Tolerance wasn’t exactly a crossover, but it affected many other books. For example, the sentinels were attacking the brat pack in X-Force, five of our best X-Men were held captive in the pages of Wolverine after their exciting and humiliating defeat in X-Men 65, and there were a lot of important developments in Cable. Here, in X-Men, the ring leader of OZT, Bastion, had to face one man. One brave X-Man. One powerful force to be reckoned with.

Ice-Man.

Yes, of all the mutants in the X-Universe, it fell on Ice-Man to take on 1997’s main villain. But he had friends.

Take a jaded exdoctor with an attitude problem, an impulsive, murderous teen who learned all her social skills in the sewers, a very serious superagent from Israel, and put them under the leadership of a class clown. What do you get?

Four issues of a very exciting, often funny story.

As proud as I was to see Ice-Man take on Bastion, willing to “fight to the death” (to the dismay of Dr. Reyes), it was the timely intervention of SHIELD that changed the course of the conflict.
