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...

 

 

 

 

 

 

     I knew when they arrived at the village.  I heard the chatter of the New Men long before they hiked in.  My Brotherhood didn't flinch.  The High Evolutionary's New Men welcomed them with open arms.

 

 

  Personal Log of Kallark Praetor of the Shi’ar Royal Elite Imperial Guard: It has been a century since the execution of Rook’shir. Since his embrace of fire and his declaration of becoming life incarnate; of being transformed into an unstoppable force of destruction and death. He was possessed, and now his possessor, the Phal’kon… the Chaos-bringer, the World Destroyer has found a new home. Our instruments have tracked it to a planet called Earth, by its inhabitants. The force itself, a fiery burst of energy, hit a small palace in the northern hemisphere. It exploded and destroyed a dungeon cell, freeing a prisoner and disrupting the palace’s primitive electrical systems. Of course we tracked the escapee, thinking that he might have been possessed by the Pal’kon. He wasn’t. And so we waited and watched from our aerie just above Earth’s atmosphere. We waited and watched the inhabitants of this palace, a place called the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. D...

  The young man walks through the city for the first time, alone. He’s afraid and doesn’t know where to begin. He’s got a journey ahead of him in this world that wants to eat him alive. The kid on the corner is selling newspapers. “Get yer paper! Yankees Beat Cleveland Indians 8 to 3! Bronx Bombers nab their 5 th Consecutive American League Pendant! Get yer paper!” The young man tosses the kid a dime and catches the rolled up news the boy throws to him. Forget the Yankees winning the Pendant, the front page headline reads “Mutant Attack on Church Could Mean Robot Police!” A nti-Mutant sentiment is growing in the country. The American people are bringing an end to the fight for civil rights and uniting on a mistrust of homo-superior. A mutant himself, the young man shivers at the thought. Just a day before, he felt someone in his head. Jean Grey was looking for someone and she touched the mind of every mutant within three hundred miles. He shakes his head with th...

From the Desk of J. Jonah Jameson Headline: Spider-Man Back From the Dead?! Body: True believers, you can take it from this veteran newsman that nothing is ever as it seems! Let’s take the Amazing Spider-Man and the Spectacular Silk Spider. For instance, Spider-Man and Silk Spider have supposedly been seen in New York City, robbing jewelry stores and banks. But haven’t we been witness to old Web Head’s aunt, addressing the public with the identity and the death of her nephew? There is only one answer to this enigma, readers! Spider-Man is back from the dead! As for the Silk Spider… she was never to be trusted! As someone who knew Spider-Man personally, I can tell you that I saw his rotten amoral core from day one! But back to the point, dear readers. An actual superhero, a brilliantly garbed character named Mysterio, came into these news offices. He declared that he would take down the Silk Spider and Spider-Man and become the true protector of New York City. ...

  I can see them. I can always see them. The X-Men. Children of the Atom. I see them as they are now, but I have also seen them as they will be. When I saw them at Muir Island, defeating the Marauders and discovering that Moira MacTaggert was the villain Malice, I knew what was soon to come. A mutant from the future appeared to them. It was Henry McCoy, the Beast, asking the X-Men for help in his own timeline. He claimed it was help that only they could provide. Beast, obviously a sincere man, convinced them to journey back with him, after relaying a story of the coming Apocalypse. He told of the mass production of mutant killing robots and the capturing and execution of mutantkind’s greatest leader. He informed them that the threat he needed their help with was a mutant by the name of Proteus, Moira’s own son. Proteus had declared war on humanity and on the mutants that stood in his way of global domination. The tipping point where Proteus began to work on this was when ...

 Hey baby. It’s your girl, Cherry Jackson. I know it’s been a while, but honey I been busy. I’m off the streets these days, sugar. Last year, I got busted while I was walkin. But I’m no dummy. I made a deal with the Five-O. What’s that? Oh no. I’m not doing no time at all. They fitted me with a wire and sent me into that pimp-ass Beno’s place. He was talkin all kinds of jive about the big man. It was like I had the super power of making low lives flap their lips. If I’d known it was that easy, I’d have been off the streets long time ago. So after the blue-light special that took place in front of Beno’s place, and after they booked that muther fu… I know, baby. I’m not supposed to cuss. I just worked it for that creep for so long. I was under paid and overworked, and nothing ever belonged to me. Nothing. Well Cherry Jackson is taking what’s hers now. I did such a good job helping the cops and the FBI bust Beno and that Kingpin, that they gave me a regular gig....
