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.
