b'Issues 1-6 Gifted\\n"The first story arc focused on the introduction of several key characters and their involvement on the team. Whedon introduced a "mutant cure" designed by Indian Benetech scientist Dr. Kavita Rao, who was secretly sponsored by warrior alien Ord. The prospect of "real" humanity arouses the interest of a heavily mutated Beast, who visits Rao only to discover that the drug is the product of illegal human experimentation on an unknown victim. The X-Men raid Benetech and reunite with Colossus. With Colossus\'s help, the team takes down Ord, but not before it\'s revealed that a mutant (most likely an X-Man) would destroy Ord\'s home planet, the Breakworld, within the next three years."\\n\\xa0\\nMerch:\\nhttps://www.zazzle.com/focpodcast\\n\\xa0\\nBe Sure to Follow us on Social Media\\nTwitter: @FOC_Podcast\\nFacebook: FOCPodcast\\nInstagram: @FOC_Podcast\\nEmail: focpodcast@gmail.com\\nMusic: Aural Bandito\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fortress-of-comictude/support'
