Mastermind succeeded in causing the false Grey into becoming the new Black Queen, but thus unintentionally triggered the process that would soon transform her into the insane Dark Phoenix.
Mastermind eventually returned to normal, but remembered the glory of the cosmos he had perceived, and felt tormented that he could no longer experience it.

'Mastermind' is widely regarded as the most rigorous and intellectual British quiz show, and, after 32 years, has become one of television's most enduring successes.
'Mastermind' was the brainchild of TV producer Bill Wright, a former RAF gunner, who drew on his wartime experience as a PoW in Germany of answering three questions - name, rank and number - to create the 'Mastermind' ritual of contestants being asked their name, occupation and specialist subject.
In August 2004 a brand-new series for contestants aged between 10 and 11 called Junior Mastermind was transmitted.

 Mastermind for PC Review - PC Mastermind Review
The original game of Mastermind owes its success to its logical if simplistic design: You have ten tries to guess the order and composition of a set of four multicolored pegs secretly hidden from your view.
Mastermind CD-ROM seizes upon this theme, integrating an assortment of colorful 3D graphics in lieu of ordinary pegs.
As it stands now, Mastermind has succumbed to an ironic twist of fate; what was once a classic game of logic and deduction has itself been outfoxed by a wily marketing scheme, outwitted by the irrepressible urge to port everything that isn't already nailed down.
