X-Stroke manipulated Terra-X into betraying the X-Patrol, and had Ferro Man bought to X-Stroke himself.
However, Niles Cable and the rest of the X-Patrol found a way to rescue Ferro Man, and defeated X-Stroke, while Terra-X used her mutant powers to escape X-Stroke's wrath, and was pursued to Zenosha by Shatterstarfire, who ended up being attacked by Broodlings loyal to Brother Brood while Terra-X became possessed by the Brood.
