The Top 10 Alternate Versions of Magneto - Part 2
#10 - Magneto Earth 691
We get our first viewing of Magneto Earth 691 in the comic book Guardians of the Galaxy
# 9 Seen here: http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/File:Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_Vol_1_9_p10_panel1.jpg
He was leading a pretty normal mutant life on earth until the government decided to release
the Sentinels on all mutantkind.
A sentinel is basically a bunch of mutant hunting robots.
Magneto has always had a soft spot for keeping his kind safe and as a result of this new
attack he takes as many of them as possible into a spaceship to escape.
After landing on a moon around Saturn, who knew that was a safe place, he was then faced
by a challenge of his authority.
Forcing him to launch the other mutants into space to escape.
#9 - Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
In the X-men comic What if Vol 2 #13 we find Magneto in charge of a Brotherhood of Evil
Mutants, who soon changed their name to just Brotherhood of Mutants.
Very smart PR move if you ask me, why tell people you’re evil if you can just show
them.
The original team consisted of Toad, noo not that Toad (Image of Toad from Mario), the
Blob, Beast, Angel, Nightcrawler and Iceman Bobby Drake who unfortunately doesn’t last
that long.
This version of Magneto is seen again in X-Men Blue when an admittedly older Magneto decides
that his only way to ensure the mutant race lives on is to bring back the brotherhood
to seek destruction against those who oppose mutants being equal to humans.
#8 - Magneto Earth 2159
In this version Magneto, he is still leading the resistance against the X-Men, but only
after his team was founded when Apocalypse murdered his best friend Charles Xavier.
Magneto is rocking a silver surfer kind of look in this version and looks pretty cool
while doing it.
#7 - President of the United States
If you thought a reality tv show star being president was crazy, I got news for you!
Yes that’s right there is a version where Magneto was sworn in as the US President.
Now it wasnt the type of mutant takeover that you would expect, it was actually quite diplomatic.
After becoming the Senator of Washington, Magneto set forth bigger plans.
Two things you should know, he entered as a Republican annnnd he had very high approval
ratings because he was the first mutant to run for office.
Although not everyone was on his side, a ton of anti-mutant groups formed opposing his
messages and even set fire to his lawn as a message.
Although he quickly put that out by covering his lawn with metal.
Who needs a lawn anyways!
#6 - Secret Empire
This reality shows a Magneto that turns over his values and beliefs that we’re built
out of being a survivor of the Nazi Holocaust.
He used violence at any cost to keep his people safe, but in the secret empire storyline he
is faced with a decision.
A newly evil Captain America asks Magneto to ignore the fact that Hydra has new influence
over the United States.
In return of looking away from this fascist regime, he is awarded with a mass of land
to keep as a safe haven for mutants.
Which is kind of disappointing because we’re not used to Magneto just giving up like that,
especially when Hydra is on a path of repeating the Nazi’s dark history.
#5 - Follow the Leader
In New Mutants Volume 1 #49 Magneto has risen to lead the mutants in collaboration with
the Hellfire Club.
All hell bent on fighting humans who oppose the mutants.
However they take it to extreme lengths by just tormenting them and even referring to
homo sapiens as subs meaning sub-human.
#4 - Wheelchair Magneto
Remember those Sentinels from before, well theyre back and in charge of North America.
We find Magneto however in a wheelchair, and like his compatriots he is being held in a
mutant concentration camp.
In this issue of Days of Future Past Magneto’s powers are of no use because of an inhibitor
collar.
Even with the loss of his powers though, its believed that he devises a plan for the mutants
to escape and send Kate Pryde’s spirit back through time.
As if escaping a prison wouldn’t be difficult enough, this guy just doesn’t quit.
Even after Franklin Richards is able to disable all of the inhibitors and release the mutants
from the camp, Magneto stays behind to make sure they get out safe.
I smell a nobel peace prize.
#3 - Magneto Earth 9796
In this timeline the villain Juggernaut has killed the X-Men and without realizing doomed
the fate of humanity.
Being that there wasnt any xmen on earth to stop future evils, the sentinels were built
in mass to defeat any mutants with a single strike.
Magneto sees whats happening and makes his return to Earth from the Stranger’s planet,
but is too late.
When he arrives he hold Juggernaut responsible for everything.
Even after escaping back to the Strangers planet where he has created a utopia for the
remaining mutants and humans, Juggernaut still finds a way to find the secret community and
much like before, doom them all.
#2 - JFK Assassination
I’ve always been into the conspiracies surrounding the JFK assassination.
That’s why this Magneto storyline in the Days of Future Past is especially interesting.
JFK was seen as a voice for civil rights of all Americans, so in this universe its clear
to see that mutants would fall into that category as well.
Magneto was seen as a terrorist, but in a strange twist of fate he was actually trying
to use his abilities to sway the bullet in question that assassinated the President.
Although he missed the target when secret service agents took him out
#1 - The Saviour
Professor X and Magneto have definitely had their differences.
However when Charles Xavier becomes the victim of an alien plague that paralyzes his body.
Magneto also known as Magnus in this universe joins forces with Charles to over take Baron
Strucker the source for all their problems.
Magneto over powers Baron by using his powers to manipulate magnetic fields turning Barons
metal claw into a big mess, thus saving Professor X.
