As the Spider-Friends
try out the X-men's Danger room, an intruder invades their mansion and
traps everyone by taking control of the computer system. Firestar
realizes that the intruder is a man from her past. Nathan Price,
a former lover that blames her for his condition. He is a schizophrenic
half-man, half-machine now calling himself Cyberiad. The entire group
breaks up into teams in hopes to reach Cyberiad in the attic before he
causes a meltdown. After many traps, the uncaptured members make
it to the top floor, but the only way to the attic is through the MAZE
OF MADNESS, an unpredictable room of holograms and traps. Only Firestar
makes it through the maze without being captured and has to face Cyberiad
one-on-one. She fuses his circuits, defeating him and surfacing the
Nathan Price side of his persona.

Professor Charles Xavier, Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Sprite,
Thunderbird Cameo: A.I.M. soldiers
Given the similarities, this episode seemed to be a pilot for a X-men cartoon
for NBC circa the same time period, as is obvious from this quote from
COMICS SCENE #11, VOL. 2 1983: “The proposed X-MEN show from
Marvel almost made NBC’s schedule and would have featured Storm, Colossus,
Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Ariel, Lady Lightning (an animated version of Ms.
Marvel which has been kicking around for years), Thunderbird (back from
the dead and able to change into any animal-form) and

Videoman
(???). Also the action would have them as students at Professor X’s
high school. The show was passed over in favor of more Smurf-like
shows." Hmmm...I never liked the Smurfs....until I read this.
