 - Recommended team: Storm, Jean Grey, Wolverine and Iceman

The Brotherhood is invading the High Frequency Active Auroral Research 
Program (HAARP) facility in Alaska. It's up to the X-Men to stop them and 
find out what they're up too. Of course, since, to humans, all mutants are 
just alike, the HAARP guards will be trying to kill you too.

You begin next to the X-Jet outside the HAARP facility. Leaving the jet, 
you have two path options:

1) Follow the road: you'll find your way blocked by a burning bonfire.
   Have Iceman put out the fires and continue.

2) Follow the stream: you'll find your way blocked by a chasm.
   Have Iceman or Jean build a bridge and continue.

Either way, your objective is taking out two transformers marked on your 
map. Next to the transformer closest to the exit is a wooded ledge with a 
sketch book.

When you reach The Bridge stage, you have three more transformers to 
destroy, then head up to the bridge. The Xtraction point is located at the 
beginning of the bridge. Off to one side of the bridge is Cyclops' comic. 
The bridge is guarded by a tank and some soldiers.

Have *your* tank (Beast, Rogue or Wolverine) jump onto the military tank 
and attack the *front* of the turret with your basic mutant power. Do *not* 
press L; let your teammates frolic with the soldiers. Once the tank is 
destroyed, mop up and head into the Outer Grounds.

As you head down the path, your way will be blocked by a derailed train. On 
the roof of the building the train crashed into is the DR disc Combined 
Powers 101. It's easiest for a flier (Storm, Rogue or Jean Grey) to get up 
there. Continue past the train, destroy the first of three transformers and 
then watch as a bridge is blown out.

Head left from the bridge and cross the chasm on a wrecked railroad car. 
After crossing, turn around and go back across the chasm using the railroad 
tracks, jump up onto the next car and pick up a bonus skill point (awarded 
to whichever X-Man picks it up). Go back across the chasm on the trakcs, 
destroy two more transformers and head for the Inner Grounds.

Look on top of one of the large buildings for a DR disc: Challenge-Beast. 
Destroy three transformers, and approach the entrance to the Maintenance 
Garage. Another tank fight is looming, this time there are flamethrowers 
involved. Have Iceman put out the fires and use the same tactics as before 
to get into the garage.

You'll follow a convoluted path through the garage stage. When the corridor 
is blocked by lasers, move into the room to the side and break through the 
wall into the next room to get around the lasers. Continue to the exit 
point, which you will find locked. There's a large storeroom nearby; inside 
is a HAARP Officer with a keycard. Take it from him and continue to the 
Mess Hall. 

Work your way through this stage, going around another laser beam blockade 
in the process. Keep your eyes out for the Combined Powers 102 DR disc, 
it's in a side room behind some crates. Next is Systems Operations, which 
is a large stage with nothing in it but enemy soldiers. Pass through to get 
to the Satellite Control Center.

Early in this stage, you have a mini-boss fight against Pyro:

Pyro
----
Health: 300
Resistances: Multiple
Powers: Throws flame, can create flame creatures

Ranged attacks work best on Pyro, as he is usually surrounded by a damaging 
fire shield. Take out his fire demons to take down his multiple resistances 
and then smite him with power combos. Iceman is a good choice to keep Pyro 
cooled down.

Once he's done, continue until you find the lift down to the Main Tunnels. 
Before using the lift, search the room to find Iceman's comic. Once in the 
Main Tunnels, work your way to the lift; look for the DR disc Qualifying 
Exam 100 next to the lift and go to the Exterior Access Tunnels.

In both tunnel stages, there are gaps where Iceman or Jean must build a 
bridge. Make sure you immediately rush across the bridge and engage the 
enemy. If you try to engage the enemy on the bridge, your teammates are 
likely to fall into the darkness. In the Exterior Access Tunnels, when you 
reach the gap that must be bridged, search to the side for a sketchbook.

At the end of the Access Tunnels is another Xtraction point next to the 
lift. Save your game and then take the lift to the final boss battle for 
this mission: Toad. Toad has been left behind by his mates, and he's trying 
to escape in one of HAARP's jets.

Toad
----
Health: 300
Resistances: Multiple
Powers: Tongue Lash

In addition to taking down Toad, you have to disable the jets he is using 
to try and escape. To complicate matters, HAARP troops show up from time to 
time to give you more trouble. Toad is resistant to physical damage, and 
his tongue lash can be devastating when it's unleashed. Wolverine, if 
you've kept Brutal Slash maxed, is devastatingly effective against Toad, 
especially if you can hit some combos.
