Magneto Has Returned, But Marvel Hints at a Major Moral Change

Magneto is a controversial X-Men mutant. Terrorist, savior, and mutantkind's greatest sacrifice. In a broken world, the Master of Magnetism may return as a villain.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The Magneto #4 solicitation proves Storm's Max Eisenhardt resurrection. Without him, Orchis killed and scattered his people. The situation is worse than ever.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Magneto has always supported mutants as he sees fit. As their fiercest protector, he may turn evil or lead his enemies.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Magneto's seen humanity's worst and what it takes from enemies. He reacts brutally, which others find immoral.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

His early days as the X-Men's main antagonist, leading the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and ensuring they lived up to their name, do not define him.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Magneto is Krakoa's creator, teacher, mentor, and confidant to make up for his past actions and beliefs.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The Orchis could send Magneto back in time. The X-Men and mutants need a strong leader after Charles Xavier's failures.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Magneto recovers best from tragedies, having destroyed Genosha. Magneto's return during mutantkind's greatest crisis suggests his old fury will too.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Storm's decision to revive Magneto from a peaceful death shows that his power and leadership are needed again. Orchis pledged his return would be loud.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

His daughter Polaris and the remaining mutants are fighting back. Magneto and others want Orchis' death to be bloody and final, but it could turn him evil or make him X-Men leader.
