To get information on Onslaught, Gambit joins the Avengers to track down Magneto. They catch up with Rogue and Joseph in Virginia and attack, thinking Joseph is Magneto. The mistake is quickly sorted out, and Joseph joins the Avenger's hunt for Onslaught.
Publisher’s description
The Avengers team-up with the X-Men to take down Onslaught. The teams track down Magneto, believing he is at fault. The team discovers that Magneto is now “Joseph”, a de-aged and amnesiac version of the X-Men’s foe. But why is Rogue fighting the Avengers tooth and nail to protect Joseph? And is this “de-aged Magneto” really the man he claims to be?
