Mindbender scanned the minds of mutants that managed to survive Iron Man's assault. [i]Interesting[/i], he thought, [i]not all of them want to kill the humans. Some of them are just desperate enough to do what they have to, others are afraid of the leadership. I can use that.[/i] Opening up their minds to the part of them that didn't want to hurt people, he selected a song and started playing it over his suit's speakers.

After the lyrics started, some of the mutants paused, giving the non-mutants they were fighting the opportunity to defeat them. Others who weren't in battle simply stopped fighting and started to walk back to the staging area. "What do you think you're doing?" asked Pyro as one of them walked by him.
"I'm sorry sir, I just can't do this anymore. It's not right" he said, and kept walking.
Pyro started barking orders to the deserters, and Mindbender could tell that Toad, who was standing on a MCD officer nearby had a problem with him giving orders. The feeling was close to the surface, so it was a simple matter to push Toad to the point where he couldn't take anymore. "Oh, just stow it," he said to Pyro, "you're not a real leader anyway. The only reason you're in charge here is because Scarlet Witch requested it. Makes me wonder exactly what you did to earn her favor."
"What's it matter what I did?" asked Pyro. "I'm in charge and it's none of your business what I do or who I do it with."
Normally, that would be the end of the conversation, but under Mindbender's influence Toad wasn't willing to take it. He yelled and jumped at Pyro, causing the leader to stop fighting and defend himself.
This lead to several other Brotherhood members remembering old grudges, which Mindbender quickly used to his advantage. With a little musical help he soon had them at each other's throats, settling old feuds.

"There," Mindbender said to the others in his squad, "that should make things easier."
