X-men 97 death and return of Superman (superman oc in marvel x-men 97)

Mutant liberations begins

narrator: Previously on "X-Men"...

reporter: The mutant leader's assassination last year by former NSA agent Henry Gyrich has spurred increased sympathy toward mutants.

Jean: The team, they'll always be family, but with the baby coming, maybe it's time to think of a life beyond the X-Men?

How'd scum like you get your hands on Sentinel technology?

You freak shows think we wouldn't find a way to evolve, too? I know who we need to see to find Bolivar Trask. The man who killed Charles Xavier.

Bolivar: Gyrich warned me you were coming.

Erik: The last will and testament of Charles Francis Xavier. Everything he built now belongs to me, my X-Men.

Workers have unloaded all passengers save one in what has become a Coney Island nightmare. Any sudden moves and the wheel could come crashing down. It's okay, honey. Come to me nice and easy. Real slow.

Ladies and gentlemen, I... Art? Is that who I think it is? Saving humans? But while it's too soon to tell how recent events will impact mutant-human relations, one thing is clear to both humans and mutants.

( sighs ) I don't get it, Jean. Did the Professor not trust me?

Maybe we're seeing this wrong. Maybe he did this for us.

Across the globe, reports are flooding in. Mutants and humans aided and saved by the former mutant terrorist who had gone missing after failing to launch a mutant rebellion following Charles Xavier's assassination last year. And we're hearing the international community is closely monitoring the situation, with some demanding this unlikely savior answer for his past crimes.

( grunts ) This is our home, you pig, it's all we have left, all you dogs left us.

You think regular folks can sleep knowing you demons are down here, lurking?

Please, don't hurt Leech.

Magneto: The depths you humans go. ( grunting ) Even denying these outcasts the indignity of your waste. Electricity and magnetism are intimately acquainted. How unfortunate for you that I am the master of magnetism.

Dirty mutant. You'll get what's coming... ( mumbles indistinctly )

You're him! You're... Magneto.

And I promise you, child, you shall never be afraid again.

What was the Professor thinking?

"The only safe and sure way to destroy your enemy is to make him your friend." Mark Twain.

Beast isn't wrong. The Professor had a plan. Seen a lot of futures, but Magneto leading the X-Men?

That's a new one. Maybe we go change it back, huh?

Look, plenty of us at this table have paths so dirty they don't squeak no matter how much spit you got. Maybe we should take a page from the Professor's playbook and give Erik a second shot.

I have arranged for the Morlocks to travel to the mutant nation of Genosha. It saddens me that none of you, nor Xavier himself, thought to use his considerable finances to do the same. But this is one of many mutant matters on which we can and will improve, my X-Men.
