Bishop was a witness to the murder of Charles Xavier twenty years earlier and, as he claimed, this event altered reality. Soon afterwards, the X-Men would meet a man that would give them a new purpose in life-Bishop. Magneto and Rogue would later marry and have a son named Charles, named after Magneto's long departed friend. Choosing Magneto over Gambit, the Cajun mutant was left heartbroken and, after defeating Wolverine, left the X-Men. During a battle with Wolverine, a mutant altered by the Beast, Rogue was forced to choose between the two when both were attacked by Wolverine. Rogue began to date fellow X-Man Gambit but she was also burdened with feelings for Magneto. Weapon X and Jean decided to leave the X-Men altogether leaving Magneto devastated by the news. Weapon X stormed the compound and freed Jean, battling Cyclops along the way and losing his left hand in the process. Jean Grey was captured by Cyclops and sent to Sinister's breeding pens where Sinister took a sample of her DNA, later combining it with a sample from Cyclops to create the mutant known as X-Man. Defeating Death, the X-Men also acquired a new member in Sunfire. The X-Men also rescued a mutant named Sunfire, whom Death was keeping prisoner. The X-Men would later fight the Horseman known as Death during which the X-Men would team up with Cyclops, a member of Sinister's elite mutant force. Under his tutelage, Clarice would become a formidable fighter and X-Man, choosing the name Blink because of her teleporting abilities. On one occasion, during a raid on Sinister's pens, Sabretooth rescued a young mutant girl named Clarice. The X-Men were also forced to move location knowing that Apocalypse knew about their base in Wundagore Mountain. Acquiring more X-Men to the fold such as the shape-changing mutant Morph, Nightcrawler, the son of Mystique, and former Horseman Sabretooth, helped to strengthen Magneto's side. The death of Magneto's daughter initially made the master of magnetism want to give up but his X-Men gave him the strength to carry on. When the X-Men returned from a successful mission, they were greeted by a destroyed base and a dying Scarlet Witch, the first casualty in the war against Apocalypse. Before she died, Wanda begged Rogue to look after her father after she was gone. As an act of revenge, Nemesis killed the Scarlet Witch before departing. Wanda went outside to try and protect Rogue and used her hex powers on Nemesis, which actually hurt him. The more assertive Rogue however chose to attack Nemesis rather than wait for help to arrive. Nemesis began attacking the base, with the Scarlet Witch trying her best to protect the students. As they left, the X-Men were unaware of another, more deadly mutant approaching the base-Nemesis. The X-Men were called into action, with Magneto asking the Scarlet Witch to remain behind to look after the younger students. At the same time however, Apocalypse's Horsemen were to make their presence known by attacking Cape Citadel and launching all U.S. The X-Men were soon to get two new recruits- Weapon X and Rogue, who was brought to the base by Mystique. Nonetheless his X-Men proved themselves formidable in their exercises. Eventually Magneto would gather other mutants such as Colossus, Iceman and Storm to the X-Men as well as younger mutants to train in their powers and use as possible future X-Men one day.ĭue to the harsh reality under Apocalypse's rule, Magneto would push his X-Men to their limit in the Killing Zone, the combat training room in their Wundagore base. As a result Jean Grey would become the third X-Man to be recruited to the cause. Jean Grey's parents began to fear for her safety and turned to Magneto for help, who took the young girl in. Magneto announced that he would help mutants train in the use of their powers. His first two recruits would be his own children, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, who embraced the dream and helped Magneto gather other members to the cause. Dubbing himself Magneto, Erik founded the X-Men as a means to reinforce the dream and to fight Apocalypse to a standstill. Unfortunately Apocalypse was beginning to make a play for world domination with nobody to stand in his way. However, people's intolerance against those who were different prevailed and Erik isolated himself from the world, acquiring a base in Wundagore Mountain to reside in. Erik changed his views on human/mutant relations and chose to honor his best friend by continuing on with his dream instead. That was all to change on the day Xavier was accidentally murdered at the hands of Legion. Charles Xavier believed in the possibility that humans and mutants could co-exist with one another but his best friend, Erik, believed otherwise.
