Stories

Chapter 2: Revolution · 22 pages
Magneto and his followers liberate a mutant relocation camp in California and bring more mutants to their cause, including the powerful telepath Charles Xavier. Discovering the horrible mutant atrocities going on in the nation of Genosha, Magneto and his followers strike to free the enslaved mutants. When they find themselves facing the Soviet Super Soldiers and with Polaris and Xavier injured, Magneto lifts a mountain and threatens to sink the island nation and kill both humans and mutants alike rather than allow the mutants to remain enslaved.

Publisher’s description

The untold story of Magneto's rise to power continues! The mutant army grows with the additions of Quicksilver, the Scarlet Witch, Polaris...and Charles Xavier?! Together, this amazingly powerful team sets their sights on the liberation of Genosha. But Magneto and Xavier have very different philosophies on human/mutant relations. Will they become enemies, as they did in our world...or will their alliance make them unstoppable?
