Unfortunately, the rest of the world often casts both of them in the same light. Magneto and the X-Men are outlaws, feared and hated by many. Yet the X-Men fight for justice, peaceful coexistence, equal rights when the issue comes up. Magneto is like a disenchanted X-Man, ready to lash out, no longer willing to wait to be attacked.
In their first battle of the 1990’s, Magneto’s illness and his trust defeated him. He seemingly died. But one of his followers sacrificed himself to save his leader. He conitnues to be the X-Men’s greatest villain. Not just because of the tremendous power he has or the fear the world has of him, but also because while the X-Men have too often become unsung heroes, when Magneto speaks, the entire world listens--and responds. Positively or negatively, it responds.
