X-Men #11: Danger Room Practice Run



The following is a summary of information taken from the FBI’s interviews of the staff and students at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, as told by Special Agent Jacob Farber.


Havok... X-Men field leader. He said, “Why don’t we have the Danger Room put us through a scenario where we fight the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants? That way we’re more prepared for what’s to come.”

The X-Men had just learned that for much of their time at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, their Headmaster, Charles Xavier, was not Charles Xavier at all, but an impostor. He was a mutant called Mastermind, an illusion caster with a sick mind and a nasty sadistic streak. Somehow, Mastermind got close to the X-Men. He lived with them. Traveled with them. Disguised as Professor Xavier, he took them to Santo Marco to remove the mutant terrorist, Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants from power. According to the school’s cook, the professor as imitated by the Mastermind, often displayed suspicious behavior. He was always too eager to judge, and too able to leap into action even though he was wheelchair bound for years. And he suddenly began liking her Apple Betty.

X-Men leader, Havok, knew what the Danger Room was capable of. He knew that its complex computers could be programmed using data from past run-ins with the Brotherhood, and that any training scenario would be as close as they could get to fighting the real thing without it actually being the real thing. And that is exactly what took place.

Many of the details in the training session are unknown, but we do know that the Danger Room, invented by the good professor, runs on protocols derived from practical data, as programmed by the facility’s user, along with the DNA of mutants themselves. Again, we do not know the details of the training session but students were quick enough to tell us that the X-Men found the challenge difficult.

Then the bombshell hit. School janitor, Telly Porteo, let it slip that Professor Xavier was in space and that the X-Men went to rescue him. Something called Asteroid M. I want it known that my partner and I do not like these mutants. We do not like the staff or students of this school. And we do not like that the mutants here are covering for their friends while the X-Men are gone.

We will get to the bottom of this story if it’s the last thing we do. Oh, one more thing, there is a man here who seems suspiciously like the Juggernaut. He has no helmet. No armor. But he’s a hulk of a man with red hair and hands the size of dinner plates. We’ll investigate further and if the X-Men are harboring criminals, we will find out. After all, we’re on a mission from God.

X-Men #6 Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut... (almost nothing)

I don’t care. This is dumb anyway. Charlie’s band of happy mutant minions made a mess of things and I’m a prisoner in his mansion, again! He gave me this paper to write on and he gave me this piece of charcoal to write with. It ain’t no pencil though. He knows better than to give me anything sharp. Why am I writing this? Nobody’s going to read it. He seems to think that locking me up in a room without sedating me and without chaining me up is something he should be rewarded for. I’m still in a locked room. I’m still a prisoner to that stuck up no good step-brother of mine. OK, so I’m writing for me. Writing my own rehabilitation. He was holding me captive. In this house. Knocked out cold, chained to a slab, and any time I woke up… another dose of that elephant tranquilizer. But I broke out, didn’t I? I got out. That’s when I met Brock Rumlow, aka Crossbones. He turned me on to the Factor Three. We met with them. Three guys, always in hoods, always in the shadows. And ...

  I am Magneto.  I - AM - MAGNETO. The X-Men needed a new direction.  I am finding that this direction is still me.  The dream of harmony between man and mutant; it isn't possible.  I never really thought it was.  And now is my time to do what is necessary.  What is necessary, is that I push aside the thought that we will ever be in harmony with those who hate and fear us.  At the same time, the dreams of the old Magneto, the dream of taking over the world and enslaving humans so that homo superior could thrive, is over reactionary.  It is a surefire route to extinction.  The team is solid.  With Mystique as the Field Captain, I believe they will go far.  She's finally falling into her own now that Wolverine has gone. We have a serious mission.  We will be going into an unknown dimension to retrieve a baby taken by the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club.  We know nothing about the dimension, except that Selene, the Blac...
