Magneto is about to do it again…lighting a fuse that will ignite huge new drama for the X-Men.

Tensions are high between Inhumans and mutants. The Terrigen Mists creating new Inhumans are killing mutants. Magneto is leading a pro-active squad of Uncanny X-Men in the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now. Storm’s Extraordinary X-Men team are trying to rescue as many mutants as they can. Beast is working with Medusa in Uncanny Inhumans. Cyclops is believed to be dead after an attack on the Inhumans.

In Civil War II: X-Men #1 by Cullen Bunn, the mutant teams learn of Ulysses. The Master of Magnetism sees this powerful new man as a new threat tipping the scales in favor of Inhumans. Magneto will make a move on the Inhumans, Storm’s Extraordinary X-Men will attempt to stop him and a genetic war is on. Continue reading MAGNETO’S Biggest X-MEN Moments

The X-Men Revolution leader is the wild card in the latest chapter of Time Runs Out set in the near future before Secret Wars.

But with writer Jonathan Hickman there are no wild cards in his elaborately plotted epic that began with Avengers World and building up the comics event of 2015.
