Inspired by the upcoming twists on heroes and villains in AXIS: Act Two: Inversion, we’re exploring rogues who changed their ways in the Marvel Universe.
Will the X-Men actually join Apocalypse? AXIS starts in October but the mutant heroes have a history of welcoming enemies into their ranks.
After profiling Avengers, here’s the list of mutants with an infamous past who joined the X-Men (in some cases for a very brief time.) Continue reading VILLAINS Turned X-MEN

Magneto is a hero and freedom fighter to some, a villain and killer to others.
Erik formed an uneasy alliance with the X-Men on Utopia but severed his ties with Cyclops earlier this year.
Marvel already teased Magneto taking on the Red Skull in Avengers and X-Men: AXIS. Now Marvel revealed this new image from Magneto #11 by David Yardin shows the Master of Magnetism leading a union of super villains and rogues.
What would make Magneto unite with Doctor Doom, Loki, Enchantress, Deadpool, Carnage, Hobgoblin, Sabretooth and Mystique, especially what she did to Dazzler in Uncanny X-Men? Continue reading MAGNETO Back to Super Villain For MARVEL AXIS?

Magneto vs. Red Skull!
And that’s just in the build up to Avengers and X-Men: AXIS as Marvel’s heroes united against the might of the Red Onslaught (Red Skull with the telepathic powers of Charles Xavier.)
Red Skull is a Nazi war criminal and he stole Xavier’s brain right out of his skull to declare his own genocidal campaign against mutants.
If that’s not reason enough for the Master of Magnetism to go to war…what about the Red Skull’s actions against his daughter (Scarlet Witch) and former lover (Rogue.) Continue reading MARCH TO AXIS: CULLEN BUNN On MAGNETO Vs. RED SKULL

Original Sin is at the halfway mark but Marvel is plotting it’s next big event.
Avengers and X-Men AXIS sees Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and the Children of the Atom together against the mutated power of the Red Skull. The Captain America villain stole Professor Xavier’s brain and harnessed his telepathic powers in a new war on mutants in the early pages of Uncanny Avengers.

Avengers & X-Men: AXIS pits Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and the Children of the Atom against the Red Skull. The Marvel event begins this Fall by Rick Remender and crosses over into other titles.
One of the most anticipated battles will happen in the pages of the Magneto solo book in the March to AXIS. Magneto’s parents were killed by the Nazis so that’s reason enough for Erik to hate the Red Skull but there’s an even more powerful reason: the Red Skull stole the brain of Charles Xavier. Writer Cullen Bunn told Comic Book Resources how he’s getting in Magneto’s head for the big fight. Continue reading MARVEL AXIS: MAGNETO Vs. RED SKULL
