#1 - Iceman goes to visit his family in Port Jefferson, Long Island, New York. On his way he spots his cousin Mary. He swoops down on his ice-slide and lends her a hand to get on. Soon, Iceman sees a cute girl walking with her parents, grandfather and little brother. He drops Mary off and tells her he'll meet her at the house. Iceman glides by the girl to get her attention, and creates an ice pole to slide down to her. As he touches the ice pole it breaks right in front of the girl and her brother, startling them. The girl screams to her brother to run away. As the little boy hesitates, Iceman tries to explain he didn't mean to scare them, but the girl grabs her brother and runs off. A policeman shows up and tells Iceman to go away. Iceman transforms back into Bobby Drake in a backyard and starts to walk down the street. He turns a corner and bumps into the girl whom he scared when he was Iceman. As Bobby apologizes, they continue to walk to her house, which happens to be right next door to his parents. Bobby goes home and greets both his parents.
Meanwhile across town, the policeman who had scared Iceman off earlier was walking with his partner when all of a sudden a portal opens out of nowhere and two strange alien beings called White Light and The Idiot jumped out. The two policemen confront the aliens, mistaking them for mutants. White Light hypnotizes the policemen to forget they ever saw them and walk away. As the policemen leave, White Light and The Idiot go the opposite way.
Back at the Drake residence, a bunch of relatives show up and a party begins. As Bobby's old relatives start pinching his cheeks, Mary shows up and drags Bobby off to the side. They start to talk about him being a mutant when his cousin Joel shows up to put him down. Bobby snaps and starts yelling at him and decides to leave to cool off. He walks away and bumps into the girl next door again as she was bringing over brownies to the party. Bobby introduces himself and she says her name is Marge. Right there, Bobby asks her to ditch the party with him and have a party of their own, and she agrees.
White Light and The Idiot arrive at house and ring the doorbell. As the old lady inside opens the door, White Light quickly hypnotizes her, making her fall asleep as the aliens walk into her house. White Light connects a device to The Idiot, who has natural tracking abilities. They are after a mutant who is nearby.
On Marge's front porch, she and Bobby continue talking, until White light and The Idiot appear. Bobby tells Marge to run in the house and lock the door. As she does, Bobby turns into Iceman and fights the aliens, which causes the house to crumble down.

#2 - In a strange place, White Light and The Idiot stand trembling before a cloaked figure, Oblivion. As Oblivion moves his hand around, a new alien appears, a female called Kali. Oblivion tells her to go find Iceman and bring him back.
Iceman returns home after the police question him about the commotion. He spots a weird-looking box and brings it upstairs in his parents' house. As he tinkers with it, he vanishes to parts unknown.
Somewhere in England, in the year 1892, Marge and her family live in a small cottage. They are time travellers. They notice that their alarm is going off, indicating someone from 1984 has arrived in 1942.
It turns out to be Iceman, who passes out from the exaustion of time travel. When Iceman awakens, he finds himself being cared for by younger versions of his parents. Out of nowhere, the villain known as Kali arrives with a horde of soldiers, who had tracked Iceman down by the mysterious box he carried with him. It turns out that Kali was expecting to find Marge with the box and not Iceman. As Kali starts to wear Iceman down, a huge projection of Marge appears in the sky. She tells Kali that she is the one Kali is looking for, and opens a portal for Kali to come to her. As Kali charges into the portal, she kills Iceman's father. Iceman now wonders that if his father dies in 1942, what will become of him, and vanishes.

#3 - Iceman awakens in a dark black place where he is having visions of his life with his father. The he has vision of his time with the X-Men, The Champions & The New Defenders. When his visions are over, he finds himself standing before the menacing villain known as Oblivion. Oblivion tells Iceman that Marge is the enemy. Marge is his insane daughter who has a lustful quest for power. If Iceman can stop her, then he can return back to his own time. Iceman seeks out Marge and they start to battle. Marge uses unknown power to attack Iceman. She reveals herself to be a sorceress called Mirage. Just as she is about to kill Iceman, Oblivion shows up to rescue him.

#4 - As Oblivion and Mirage battle, Iceman realizes that Oblivion is the true enemy. Once Oblivion sees that Iceman knows the truth, he sends White Light, The Idiot & Kali to go after Iceman. Iceman defeats them and encounters Oblivion and Mirage. He tells them both what he sees in them and they realize that Iceman is right. They settle their differences and sends Iceman back to his own time.
Iceman awakens in his room and greets his parents with a big hug. The Beast and Angel from The New Defenders come along and tell Iceman there is an emergency. And Iceman leaves with his teammates.
