Synopsis for "The Times, They Are A'Changin'"
Magneto greets the students as their new headmaster. His reception is rather mixed, although the detractors don't say so to his face. He sends them to suit up and head for the Danger Room, where they are to play tag with Magneto: all of them vs him. Later that evening, they repair to Harry's Hideout for some relaxation. Dani decides to walk home, but some sinister frat boys remark on how their "quest for cuties" is over. They ambush her on the road and try to rape her, but Brightwind comes to her aid, chasing them off. Dani escapes back to the mansion, and when Magneto learns what happened he has Brightwind lead him to the vehicle. The New Mutants follow in secret. Magneto discovers them at their frat house, and confronts them, gives them a stern talking to, and tears their house to shreds. When he returns, he finds the New Mutants still up, and they liked what they saw.
Notes
- Professor X asked Magneto to take over his school in Uncanny X-Men #200 when he had to leave with the Starjammers to save his life.
- This story is continued from New Mutants Special Edition #1 and Uncanny X-Men Annual #9, when the mutants travelled to Asgard. It is there that Dani was chosen by Brightwind and became a Valkyrie.
- Karma was a longtime slave to the Shadow King (Amahl Farouk) until the other New Mutants and Storm rescued her in New Mutants #34.
