He sent Nightcrawler, Colossus and Kitty Pryde, and Gambit to retrieve the necessary items and people to travel back in time to save Charles Xavier. Seeing the desperate nature of the world he currently lived in, Magneto took the chance to change the past for the better. One in which Xavier was not killed and he created the X-Men. Magneto learned another reality existed, one in which Apocalypse was not ruler of America. Not until the reappearance of Bishop, an X-Man from the true Marvel Universe timeline and a man Magneto had not seen since the murder of Xavier twenty years, did Magneto realize there was truly hope. But it became clear to them that they were fighting a losing battle. They would continue their war against Apocalypse, doing what they could to stop the madman's plans. Magneto and Rogue would marry and have a son, Charles. The Cajun mutant left the X-Men, and Magneto and Rogue carried on their romance. Moments later, during a sneak attack by an evil mutant named Wolverine, Rogue chose to save Magneto instead of Gambit. Magneto expressed his growing feelings for Rogue when he told her that since both of them possessed magnetic powers they actually cancelled each other out. Unfortunately, Magneto's close friend Gambit also cared for her. The enraged Magneto used his powers to tear Nemesis apart leaving him for dead on the battlefield.Īs time passed, Magneto grew closer to Rogue. Nemesis absorbed the plasma energy and believed that power would be substantial enough to defeat Magneto and his X-Men. Apocalypse and Nemesis were recovering from a gigantic plasma explosion unleashed by a captured Sunfire. Attempting to prevent Apocalypse and Nemesis from turning Japan into a wasteland, Magneto led a team of X-Men into Tokyo. That revenge would come years later in Japan. Magneto did just that, but he swore he would have his revenge on Nemesis. The young girl Rogue, who had promised Scarlet Witch she would care for her father, told Magneto his daughter believed in what they were doing and would have wanted him to carry on. The X-Men rallied around him and convinced him to go on. Ravaged with guilt, Magneto considered giving up. Apocalypse's son, Nemesis, attacked Wundagore and killed Magneto's daughter. The X-Men were successful in Florida but that success came with a price. One of these young mutants, a girl named Rogue, had just been delivered to Wundagore by Mystique. He left his daughter, the Scarlet Witch, in charge of the young mutants not yet ready to fight for the X-Men. When Magneto learned Apocalypse had sent his Horsemen to Florida to launch the United States nuclear arsenal, he and his team rushed to stop them. Surrounded by a team he knew he could trust, Magneto began to counterattack Apocalypse. Hidden in the Wundagore Mountains, this would be the X-Men's base of operations for years. In the early days of the X-Men's existence, Magneto provided a place for young mutants to learn how to use their powers and fight for genetic equality. The X-Men, named after Xavier and his dream, went into hiding and used guerrilla tactics against Apocalypse's army. By the time Magneto had gathered his X-Men team together, Apocalypse had grown too strong and had gained control of a substantial section of North America. He gathered a legion of mutant followers who believed in his survival-of-the-fittest mantra. Both Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch embraced their father's cause and helped him gather his team.ĭuring this time Apocalypse grew stronger. He learned of their existence while traveling through Germany and invited them to help him create a team of mutants to protect those who could not protect themselves. He began with his children, Pietro and Wanda. The mutant known as Apocalypse made his presence known over a decade earlier than he would have if not for Legion's interference in the past.Īs Apocalypse made his play for world domination, Magneto gathered a mutant army of his own. He made a promise on that day to carry on Xavier's dream: to take mutantkind by the hand and create a world where homo sapiens and homo superior would live together peacefully. Xavier's death profoundly changed Lensherr's life. And it appeared Xavier's dream of coexistence between mutants and humans would die with him. When Xavier sacrificed his life to save Magneto reality changed. Legion, who was actually the future son of Charles Xavier, traveled back in time to murder the man who would become his father's nemesis in the future, Magneto. Erik Lensherr's life changed the day his good friend Charles Xavier was murdered by Legion, a time-traveling madman.
