Magneto arrives to save Iron Man

He's back and he's even hotter!

I LOVE his shit eating grin, rippling cape and muscles, and most of all his cunty posture. 'Hello Stark, check out these thighs.' It's true that his wife (Emma Frost, it's a sham thing but Tony catches feelings) sent Mags to rescue his dumb ass as he makes a huge mess in the Australian Outback, but this is a newly resurrected, kinder Magneto. I suspect he'd have done it anyway. For drama, if nothing else.

Tony only knew that one singular mutant was coming to bail him out. He didn't expect his 'nemesis' (citation needed) mainly because Tony was there when Magneto died on Arakko during Judgement Day. He's surprised, but not unhappy about it. Maybe. See, Mr Stark just had his shit kicked in, and he had hallucinations of the Master of Magnetism while knocked out.

T-Bag is feeling guilty about the whole Stark Sentinel situation (as he should. Not the first time Stark Sentinels have been made for genocide.) That guilt manifests with the face of Magneto, here to judge him. In a petulant reply to this most recent charge, Stark brings up some old shit ( X-Men #1 from 1963) but Mags has a zinger for him. Considering Stark's subconscious is doing all the talking, some part of him thinks he's just as bad as Silver Age Magneto. It's not a competition, but I think he's worse. Mr Military Industrial Complex Billionaire over here can fuck right off.

'The world doesn't need arms merchants' is both true and relevant. Tony has changed, he's been redeemed! Yet engines of death bearing his name are stalking the planet yet again and plan to purge it, having already carried out mutant genocide. Tony will never see any legal or social consequences for this, but perhaps he believes he deserves this judgement. I don't really care about Tony Stark, to be honest. I'm here for Magneto, and this is the war in Tony's subconscious when Max Eisenhardt arrives.

Mags isn't here to point fingers - he's here to save an ally. Red Elon Musk Feilong has a grudge over Arakko, and his fucking face when Mags doesn't know who he is delights me. I don't think Mags is being truthful - he SHOULD know who this ORCHIS clown is, but they've never met. He's been through a lot lately. Besides, they've got bigger fish to fry. Feilong has realised that the AI leopards are eating his face too, so they're on the same side for now and are stuck in a giant Iron Man suit without power.

Luckily, 'I am power.' Mags revitalises the monstrosity and rides to war with two billionaires. After he fucks up a ton of sentinels (a continuity error but whatever,) Nimrod sends one of his bodies (Madrox should sue) to stop them.

Mags is much more effective than the his last Nimrod fight, though he doesn't remember it. Nimrod is weak to Mysterium somehow so he makes the very problematic move of gassing Mags with Terrigen. WTF did he get that from? It's good to know Tony could have easily prevented IvX at any time. I'm sympathetic to everyone who had to deal with the rushed production schedule Fall of X received, but this is Looney Tunes shit.

Nimrod, you chump. You set yourself up for the 'awful lot of metal around here' Magneto classic. Speaking of metal, Mysterium just keeps getting better. SWORD did steal it from the Phoenix's clothes line, so whatever, it can do new stuff if it wants. It's alive, it loves Magneto, it hates Nimrod, and could take or leave Tony Stark. That's relatable. ORRRR, Jean is in the White Hot Room right now, after Moira stabbed her with a blightswill knife. She could be affecting the metal to get this Nimrod jerkoff. Sounds kinda silly - moving on.

Looney Tunes or not, I'm a sucker for Magneto hovering and saying dramatic shit. Preferably hurling vehicles around, but magic metal and a dickhead robot is close enough. Let it be known that Mags is the Mysterium Whisperer. Pretty obvious when you think about it, though his relationship with the miracle metal wasn't explored deeply.

Yes! Haha. Get Magneto'd, idiot! This Nimrod body is dead, as is the Mysterium and Tony's giant robot. Damn, they would have been useful. Anyway, bye losers! Mags has more fascist robots to kill in his wonderful cape. Thanks for fucking everything up only to help at the last minute. Enjoy the Outback (they don't, and Tony leaves a huge mess.)

Firestar frees Juggernaut

It's Fall of X and everything is shit. Shadowkat is waging a one woman war vs ORCHIS, as she's the only one who can use the gates. She's reconnoitring the Bloom when she comes across a surprising prisoner - Juggernaut. She'd free him, but his chains are connected to someone else.

This poor bastard - Cyclops. They haven't heard anything about either man and it was assumed that they were dead. So good news, but also bad news. Cain is doing okay but Cyke is fucked. Worse, they're on a dead man's switch. If Juggernaut escapes Cyke blows up. It's odd, as they definitely need him alive, but fascists are cruel and disorganised.

Firestar is the mole on the inside and Juggernaut is scheduled to be dissected tomorrow. So instead of freeing Scott she has to switch up her plan and take the risk with Cain. This Morse code business gets her point across and Cyke sells it.

At that moment, Juggernaut made his move. It wasn't subtle, as is his way. Firestar has to keep up the act but as she says she won't have to fake losing a fight to Juggernaut.

Cain says the obvious - that they'll kill her too eventually. So he may as well do it first. Highlighting how awful her undercover stint is, she's okay with it, though she stuffs a flash drive in his gob.

'I'm a spy, dude. Take these secrets and beat the shit out of me, please.' He does exactly that and does the unstoppable thing - smashing a huge hole in all the walls and escaping with style.

Firestar took a huge gamble to make this happen, entering the same facility twice in a day to setup a risky defence. The AI trio - Nimrod, Moira and Omega Sentinel - are onto her, pointing out that Juggernaut happened to escape while she was there. Angelica decides to push it by insulting them, calling these terrifying fuckbots lazy and stupid.

She blames it on Mystique, heh, and points out that they fucked up. Firestar slaps Moira's knife out of her hand with a threat and says she's going to pop painkillers.

They believe her, but openly talk about killing her anyway. I really wish Firestar stayed in the the X-books, or at least kept in touch with some mutants. Over in West Coast Avengers she's self medicating her PTSD with alcohol and has no friends because everyone thinks she's a traitor. It makes Emma, Scott, Kate, Jean, Juggernaut - the people who know what she went through willingly - look like callous assholes. She's under the Avengers purview and it's a period of disconnectedness, but still.
