I Believe That Magneto From Age Of Apocalypse Is One Of The Best Marvel Heroes, And These Panels Are

I believe that Magneto from Age of Apocalypse is one of the best Marvel heroes, and these panels are solid evidence of that claim. In this part, Bishop confronts him and basically asks how he can just stand by while his X-Men are on different missions. And Magneto explains that he's saying goodbye to his son Charles. Let's remember, the X-Men's goal was, following Bishop's instructions, to restore the universe to the normal 616 canon and end the era of Apocalypse. This would mean their own universe would disappear, taking away both the bad and the good.

For Magneto, taking away the good meant his marriage to Rogue and his son Charles—neither of which existed in the 616 universe. So when the X-Men would fulfill their mission, Charles would cease to exist. But still, Magneto didn't hesitate for a moment and led the X-Men to restore the normal universe.

Magneto made the greatest sacrifice one can ask of someone: giving up love and family for the greater good.

I'm currently on my reread of Age Of Apocalypse and these panels still impact me as much as they did when I was a kid and read the story for the first time.

This interaction always cracks me up.

Rogue: 'Ah would have said 14th century.'

Magneto (history nerd mode activated): 'Oh? Why would you-?'

I started writing this as a comedy fanfiction, but it ended up being more complex than I expected

The summary:

Wiccan, Hulkling, and Speed find themselves on a plane without any memories of how they got there.

I think she and Jeanne-Marie Beaubier (Aurora from Alpha Flight) would make an interesting and funny couple!
