X-Men Alpha #1(Feb. 1994)

Instead of spotlighting one particular character this week, I'm going to take a look at the GREATEST X-Men story ever told, the Age of Apocalypse! And how better to begin AOA week then with Magneto reminiscing about his long dead love, Prof. X? I mean friend... His long dead FRIEND, Prof. X!

X-Men #113(June 2001)

Come on, after tearing the metal out of Wolverine, you KNOW Magneto had this coming! That's it for Magneto week, next week will be... one of two DC characters... Who? Check back tomorrow night to find out!

Magneto: Dark Seduction #3(Aug. 2000)

Wow, my word of the day is DEFINITELY, "Pontificating"!

X-Men #-1(July 1997)

Ah how I loved the interaction between Professor Xavier and Magneto back before the x-titles fell completely apart...

X-Force #25(Aug. 1993)

Umm yeah, seeing as that HALF of Cable's body is made out of metal, deciding to fight Magneto PROBABLY wasn't his smartest move... This was from the AWESOME Fatal Attractions x-over. Speaking of Fatal Attractions, my all-time favorite X-Men/Magneto battle took place during it. If you'd like to check some of that fight out, click here.

X-Men #1(Oct. 1991)

Besides the sweet Jim Lee artwork, I figured I'd post this scan because it's from THE very first comic book I ever brought.

Avengers West Coast #57(April 1990)

OK, I don't know if I should shake my head in disbelief or start laughing hysterically when Magneto says, "You make me sad, Iron Man.". WHAT kind of super-villain line is THAT?!?

Captain America #367(Feb. 1990)

This was by far my favorite super-villain showdown, because it made SO much sense when looking at the histories of both characters.

X-Men #25(Oct. 1993)

Awesome Stuff here. Fatal Attractions is easily my second favorite X-Men story ever.

Icarus vs Magneto's helmet

As you can see from these pics, the winner is clearly Magneto's helmet. You NEVER bet against the awesomeness that is Magneto's helmet! Oh, and don't worry, even though his neck was broken, Jay was fine, this scene took place before Chris Yost forgot Jay had a healing factor...
