—Rogue

History

Origins

When Rogue was thirteen years old, she put her boyfriend Cody in a coma when her absorption powers manifested during their first kiss. After her father disowned her for being a mutant, Rogue ran away from home. She was taken in by Raven Darkhölme, the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants. Rogue became a member of the Brotherhood, and was trained in the use of her powers by her new adopted mother.

In order to help Rogue gain control of her powers, Raven took her to an associate of hers, Magneto, who had set himself up in the Savage Land. Magneto agreed to help train Rogue, and she quickly became infatuated with him. The two began a romantic relationship after realizing that his magnetic powers allowed him to touch her. However, Rogue soon realized that their relationship could not bear the weight of their demons, prompting them to end things.

During a mission, Rogue permanently absorbed the powers of superheroine Ms. Marvel. However, she inadvertently absorbed Ms. Marvel's psyche as well, which struggled to gain control of Rogue's body. Distraught, she left the Brotherhood, and was contacted by Professor Xavier of the X-Men. Xavier helped Rogue by repressing her memories of absorbing Ms. Marvel, in order to quiet the Ms. Marvel persona. Rogue would then join Xavier's X-Men.

Her teammate Gambit became enamoured with her, and while Rogue was initially dismissive of him, she eventually began to warm up to him. Nevertheless, she spent much time trying to push him away, due to the fact that they could never touch and due to her fear of hurting him if they ever did.

X-Men

While at a shopping mall with fellow X-Men Storm and Gambit, Rogue encountered the young mutant Jubilee, who was being hunted by a Sentinel. Rogue and the other X-Men managed to save Jubilee and took her in. The X-Men discovered that the Mutant Control Agency was leaking information on registered mutants to the Sentinels. They stormed the agency's compound, destroying its database, but losing two of their members; Beast, who was captured, and Morph, who was seemingly killed. Rogue and the other X-Men eventually learned the location of the Sentinels' headquarters, which they succeeded in destroying.

The X-Men fought Magneto when he attacked a chemical factory. During the mission, Rogue had to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on Cyclops and briefly absorbed his powers. Since she could not control them, she was forced to keep her eyes closed, making her unable to continue the fight. However, Professor X managed to get Magneto to flee by making him relive traumatic memories from his past. Rogue and the rest of the team later had to rescue Cyclops and Jean Grey when they were kidnapped by the Morlocks. Rogue had to leave the battle to bring Gambit back to the Mansion after Plague gave him a fever.

The Cure

When Rogue learned of a potential cure for mutants being developed by Gottfried Adler, she travelled to Muir Island to learn more. Her inability to touch other people caused her to consider taking the cure, but when Adler, who had in fact been murdered and replaced by Mystique, was kidnapped by Pyro and Avalanche, Rogue used her powers to save Jean, who fell off a cliff during a scramble. This prompted her to rethink taking the cure, as she realized the potential good she could use her powers for.

After Apocalypse attacked the World Peace Conference in Paris, and together with his Four Horsemen, recruited from mutants who had sought the cure, Xavier sent Rogue back to Muir Island to investigate Adler's connection to Apocalypse. Rogue confronted Adler, who revealed himself as the shape-shifting mutant Mystique, also known as Raven Darkhölme, Rogue's adopted mother. She exposed Apocalypse's plans, but fled. The X-Men assaulted Apocalypse's base beneath Stonehenge, and Rogue used her powers to save Archangel, who had been enslaved by Apocalypse, undoing Apocalypse's conditioning by draining it from Archangel.

Days of Future Past

The time-traveler Bishop came to the present in order to avert a future where the Sentinels ruled the world. He accused Gambit of betraying the X-Men by assassinating Senator Robert Kelly, thus bringing about this grim future. The X-Men indulged Bishop's suspicions, due in no small part to Gambit's mysterious past. Bishop and Wolverine watched over Gambit while the rest of the X-Men went to avert the assassination. While in D.C., Rogue fought her former teammates in the Brotherhood.

Gambit managed to shake the two, and headed to D.C. in order to clear his name by preventing the assassination himself. The assassin was revealed to be the shape-shifting Mystique, who hoped to pin the assassination on Gambit and the X-Men. Gambit arrived just in time to stop her from killing Kelly. When Bishop decided to kill both of them just to be sure, Rogue intervened, sending him back to the future by destroying his time-travel anchor.

With Gambit knocked out by Bishop, Rogue prepared to take down Mystique, only for her to reveal herself to be Raven Darkholme, Rogue's adopted mother. Rogue agreed to help her escape and tried to convince her to leave Apocalypse's service. Mystique told her that she couldn't, as Apocalypse had given her purpose just as Xavier had done for Rogue. When Rogue angrily asked why Mystique had tried to turn her into a slave on Muir Island, a saddened Mystique responded that it had seemed to be the only way to get her daughter back, before leaving.

Kelly was instead kidnapped, first by Magneto and then by the Sentinels. With Gambit having seen the Sentinels' leader on Genosha, he reluctantly agreed to let Xavier scan his mind in order to find him. They tracked down Gyrich, and convinced him to give them the location of the Sentinels' headquarters. The X-Men decided to storm the Sentinel base, with Rogue, Storm, Beast and Xavier, later joined by Magneto, remaining on the surface to create a distraction, while Cyclops, Jean, Wolverine and Gambit snuck underground to destroy Master Mold

When Gambit didn't return, Rogue became worried. He and Wolverine had been trapped with the Sentinels, but were rescued at the last minute by Cyclops. Grateful to see him alive, Rogue hugged him.

Return of Ms. Marvel

When Professor Xavier mysteriously disappeared, the mental conditioning he had performed on Rogue's mind gradually began to come undone. Rogue once again began to experience flashes of Ms. Marvel's persona, which attempted to assert control over her body. Mystique seized the opportunity to attempt to win back Rogue. She lured her to the hospital where Ms. Marvel's comatose body was kept, and convinced Rogue to touch her and regain the memories Xavier had repressed. Now remembering what she had done, and struggling to control Mystique's shapeshifting powers, Rogue lost control of her body to Ms. Marvel.

Jean Grey aided Rogue by allowing her to face Ms. Marvel within her own mind, and helped her trap Ms. Marvel's psyche, once again gaining control of her own body. Now in control again, she bitterly rejected Mystique, accusing her of never loving her and only being interested in her powers. She left Mystique on a rooftop, and flew off with the X-Men.

Struggling with guilt over what she had done to Ms. Marvel, she visited her in the hospital. After she briefly touched her, Ms. Marvel's body began to stir, suggesting she might one day awaken.

X-Ternally Yours

When Cyclops was nearly killed after a Danger Room program ran amok under Gambit's watch, Rogue rushed in to save him. Gambit suddenly left the team, telling Rogue he needed to return home to Louisiana to save his Bobby from being killed.

Rogue, Wolverine and Jean pursued him and found themselves caught up in an ages old conflict between the Thieves Guild and Assassins Guild. Gambit had been captured by his erstwhile fiancé Bella Donna Boudreaux to betray the Thieves, but during the tithing ceremony Gambit exposed her plans, prompting a brawl between the three groups. While Bella Donna told Rogue that had only ever loved her, Gambit ultimately chose to return his engagement ring to her, sparing her life but declaring that he would never return before leaving with Rogue.

After Storm received a call from her home village, Storm and Rogue traveled to Tanzania. They found the villages on fire, plagued by Storm's godson Mjnari, who had been possessed by the Shadow King.

The Shadow King had possessed Mjnari to lure Storm back to him, offering to release Mjnari in exchange for Storm giving up her body to him. Storm agreed, but fought his control, trying to take her own life to kill him by flying into space, forcing him to leave her body. With Mjnari's help, they lured the Shadow King back into the rift in the Astral Plane, sparing her village and imprisoning the monster once more.

Sinister and the Friends of Humanity

The X-Men soon found themselves caught up in the schemes of Mr. Sinister. Sinister wished to create his own race of subservient super-mutants, and was particularly interested in the genes of X-Men Cyclops and Jean Grey. He lured Xavier from the mansion and sent brainwashed former X-Man Morph to the mansion to cause chaos, tricking Gambit into kissing a sleeping Rogue, rendering him briefly comatose and causing Rogue to absorb his powers.

Morph proceeded to trick Rogue and Storm into a confrontation with the Friends of Humanity, a mutant-hating group led by Graydon Creed. Rogue and Storm defeated the group, the Morph tricked the police into firing on Storm, causing her to be hospitalized. Rogue blamed Beast for not backing them up after Storm called for his help, unaware that this had also been Morph in disguise. Gambit awoke in time to find Morph now impersonating the Professor. Quickly growing suspicious, Gambit managed to reveal Morph's ruse. The X-Men pursued a fleeing Morph and managed to rescue the kidnapped Cyclops and Jean.

Losing Cyclops and Jean was not the end of Sinister's schemes however. He managed to capture both Xavier and Magneto and brainwashed Xavier into summoning the X-Men to the Savage Land. Here, they were rendered powerless and captured by Sinister's servants.

While tortured by Sinister's servants, Gambit confessed his love for Rogue, and the two were able to share a brief kiss. With help from Ka-Zar and the free peoples of the Savage Land, Rogue and the others were freed, and the device blocking their powers destroyed. They were able to overcome Sinister's goons and defeat him once more.

Savage Land, Savage Heart

hile riding horses with Storm, they were ambushed by Sauron, a Savage Land mutant. Sauron had been sent to kidnap Storm and bring her to the Savage Land by Zala Dane, who wished to use Storm to awaken her god, Garokk. Zala Dane convinced Sauron to hypnotize Storm and remove her inhibitions. On Garokk's command, Storm was unleashed upon the Savage Land, and used her powers to drive the weather into a frenzy, her raw power feeding Garokk.

Rogue and the X-Men were in hot pursuit, and managed to subdue Storm. Still rattled by Sauron's hypnotism and by the spreading evil of Garokk, Storm lashed out at them and any image of Garokk she came across. Rogue did her best to comfort her friend, who begged them to restrain her and not allow her to recover her strength. After they were distracted by Garokk, Storm broke loose. Lashing out at him, she inadvertently restored Garokk to full power. He was only defeated when Sauron attempted to drain his strength, with the two eliminating each other, and freeing Storm from Sauron's hypnosis. Storm apologized to Rogue for her actions, and admitted that she was frightened by how much she had enjoyed unleashing her powers, never before having felt so free.

Obsession

Despite being freed from Apocalypse's influence by Rogue, Warren Worthington had become obsessed with destroying Apocalypse. The X-Men detected him fighting Apocalypse and rushed to help. While Gambit maintained that Apocalypse's machines had erased any trace of Warren Worthington, leaving only the "Angel of Death" that Apocalypse had created, Rogue insisted that she had felt Warren deep down after last absorbing his spirit.

Rogue helped nurse Archangel back from health, reprimanding him for suicidally going after Apocalypse. Knowing that only Rogue understood what Apocalypse had done to him, he confided in her that he had found Apocalypse's weakness and asked her to help him destroy the immmortal monster, telling her that the other X-Men would not understand. When the X-Men revealed the Apocalypse's location and tried to set up a plan to stop him, Archangel angrily declared that he had no time for war games, and left.

Despite Gambit and the others' warnings that Archangel's obsession for revenge would lead to his and Rogue's undoing, she chose to follow him. They were easily defeated by Apocalypse, but he suddenly left as he detected the other X-Men interfering with his Ship. Beast had managed to engage with the Ship, which was a sentient being, and together they managed to trap Apocalypse within a force field, but he overrode the Ship's programming to release himself and revealed that he had tricked Archangel into believing he had a weakness to lure him into confrontation.

Together they managed to delay Apocalypse long enough for Beast and the Ship to launch him deep into space, banishing him temporarily from Earth, though it led to the Ship's destruction. With Archangel's obsession not sated in the least, he angrily left them. Rogue apologized to Beast for costing him the Ship, realizing that Gambit had been right about Warren.

The Phoenix

After an encounter with an alien ship, Professor Xavier found himself telepathically connected to an unknown alien being. Tormented by these visions, Xavier dispatched the X-Men to hijack the space shuttle Starcore. Since she was busy with another mission, Rogue did not participate in the heist.

Once arriving at the space station, the X-Men encountered Erik the Red, an agent of the alien Shi'ar Empire. During their escape from the station, they were forced to pilot the shuttle through deadly radiation. Jean volunteered to pilot the shuttle, believing she could use her telekinetic powers to shield herself from the radiation. Jean successfully piloted the shuttle back to Earth, but in the process she bonded with the Phoenix, the ancient guardian of the M'kraan Crystal. She was hospitalized, struggling to understand her new power.

Rogue blamed herself for Jean's condition, believing that her enhanced physiology might have allowed her to safely pilot the shuttle if she had been there. While Jean recovered, Rogue and most of the other X-Men traveled to Muir Island to help the Professor. Here, the Professor had encountered the alien who haunted his dreams; Princess Lilandra Neramani of the Shi'ar Empire, who had stolen the M'kraan Crystal from her mad brother, Emperor D'ken.

Jean recovered just in time to come to the X-Men's aid, and transport them to Lilandra's ship. The crystal was soon stolen by the Starjammers, inter-galactic pirates led by Corsair, who wished to use it to get close enough to D'ken to kill him. The X-Men tracked them down, leading to a brawl with D'ken's Imperial Guard. The X-Men tried to escape, but were powerless against D'ken, who had now claimed the crystal's power. Believing this to be their last moments, Rogue and Gambit tried to share a kiss, only to be stopped when the ship was sucked into the crystal.

With Jean's help, they managed to defeat D'ken, with Jean sacrificing herself to take the crystal into the Sun. To their shock, Jean survived and soon returned, now losing control of herself to the Phoenix, which had been corrupted by experiencing Jean's human emotions.

The Inner Circle Club, a group of powerful mutants, tried to take advantage of the situation by brainwashing Jean and using the powers of the Phoenix for their own gain. They managed to turn her against the X-Men, but she soon tired of their games and left, giving the X-Men the upper hand to defeat them. Their attempts at stopping Jean failed however, as she easily dispatched of them and traveled deep into space, consuming an uninhabited star-system.

The X-Men set a trap for her, with Xavier managing to repress the Phoenix with Jean's help. However, the Phoenix's actions in deep space had attracted the attention of the Shi'ar, who came to Earth to apprehend her. Desperate to save Jean's life, Xavier invoked the right to trial by combat, pitting the X-Men against Lilandra's Imperial Guard. Before the battle, Rogue comforted Cyclops, telling him that the love he and Jean shared was what she had always wanted for herself, and that he was right to fight for her, despite the risks.

The X-Men were defeated, but the battle unleashed the Phoenix. Desperate not to succumb to its influence, Jean chose to end her own life before the Phoenix could threaten the universe. Released and purified by Jean's death, the Phoenix offered to resurrect her, with each of the X-Men giving a part of their life essence. With Jean resurrected and the Phoenix gone, the X-Men returned home.

Vacation

After the harrowing events related to Jean's possession by the Phoenix, Rogue and Gambit decided to go on vacation to the Alps. To Gambit's chagrin, Wolverine also tagged along. After hearing rumours of a demon in a nearby village, the trio decided to investigate. On the way there, Gambit's poor skiing skills caused him to accidentally unleash an avalanche. With Gambit hurt, they found refuge in a nearby monastery, the home of the "demon", who was in fact a mutant nicknamed Nightcrawler.

One of the monks, Brother Reinhart, resented Nightcrawler and wanted to be rid of the strangers. He tried to attack Gambit in his sleep, only to be driven off by Rogue. Reinhart riled up the nearby villagers to attack the monastery, burning it to the ground. However, Reinhart realized the error of his ways after Nightcrawler saved him. With the danger averted, Gambit, Rogue and Wolverine continued their vacation in Paris.

Rogue and Gambit's budding relationship was complicated by the return of her childhood love Cody Robbins, who had found a way for the two to touch. Gambit was suspicious of Cody, leading to an argument with Rogue. Gambit was proven right in the end, as Cody was working with the alien Brood, who wished to assimilate the X-Men in order to gain access to their mutant powers. After Gambit, Storm and Beast were captured, Rogue turned on Cody and freed them together with Wolverine. With Cody fully transformed into a Brood, Gambit convinced Rogue to leave him behind.

Sanctuary

Tired of the struggle between humanity and mutantkind, Magneto created Asteroid M, a sanctuary for mutants in Earth orbit. Rogue and the X-Men witnessed his announcement inviting all mutants to join him on the asteroid. While Rogue understood the reasons mutants might have to leave, she believed they and Magneto were making the wrong choice. Professor X and Beast resolved to speak with him. When Gambit expressed his sympathies for the plan and decided to accompany the pair in order to visit a friend on the Asteroid, Rogue worried that he was leaving her, but he promised to return.

Magneto invited the trio onto Asteroid M as his guests. Magneto had by this point grown reliant on Fabian Cortez, a mutant with the ability to boost the powers of others. Cortez was even more radical than Magneto, and wished to destroy humanity at any cost, whereas Magneto wished for mutantkind to be left alone. Cortez attempted to assassinate Magneto, ejecting his quarters into space and blamed the X-Men. Gambit volunteered to stay behind and hold Magneto's Acolytes off to buy Xavier and Beast time to escape.

When the X-Men's shuttle crashed to Earth, Rogue rushed in to save Gambit. She was distraught to learn that he had been captured and was now imprisoned on Asteroid M. With Magneto believed dead, Xavier and the others held a memorial for him while Beast prepared the Blackbird for space travel. With Cortez planning war against humanity, Beast, Wolverine, Rogue and Xavier infiltrated the Asteroid to save Gambit and stop him. With Cortez outed as Magneto's killer by the Acolyte Amelia Voght and Gambit, Cortez tried to launch the arsenal of nuclear missiles Magneto had secured as a deterrent against Earth. Magneto had survived however and returned just in time to stop Cortez. Rogue and Gambit were joyfully reunited as they fled the Asteroid, leaving Magneto behind to deal with Cortez.

After this harrowing adventure, Rogue and Gambit took some time away from the X-Men together. While the two were ostensibly in a relationship by this point, Rogue did not want to make things official, which Gambit respected.

Bloodlines

Unbeknownst to Rogue, her adopted mother Mystique had also given birth to two sons; Nightcrawler, whom Rogue had encountered in the Alps, and Graydon Creed, leader of the Friends of Humanity. Graydon learned of his familial connections to Rogue and Nightcrawler, and that his mother was also a mutant, and was charged by the Friends of Humanity with dealing with them in order to be allowed to rejoin their ranks.

Graydon kidnapped Mystique first, telling her that he would spare her and Rogue in exchange for Nightcrawler. He sent a ransom note to Nightcrawler telling him to come to an abandoned damm or his mother would be killed. Desperate, Nightcrawler turned to the X-Men for help, with Rogue, Jubilee and Wolverine accompanying him. They found Mystique, and she revealed that they were siblings.

In the ensuing battle against Creed, Mystique sacrificed herself to save Nightcrawler before escaping the scene. Having failed to purge his family tree of mutants, Creed was excommunicated by the Friends of Humanity and delivered into the hands of his father; Sabretooth.

Hidden Agendas

After learning of a teenager named Sam Guthrie from a small town in Kentucky, Rogue decided to go investigate. She learned that a government agent had been trying to recruit him. Beast's attempts to investigate the agent led to dead ends, but did reveal an office building that was seemingly owned by no one. Gambit was charged with using his burglarly skills to break into the building and learn more. Upon entering the building, he realized that it had been a trap and he was captured by the agents.

The agency was using cybernetic implants to create mind-controlled mutant soldiers, and planned to do the same with Gambit. Xavier and Beast rescued him and met up with Rogue to save Sam. The X-Men were able to protect Sam and his family from the agency and the townsfolk. Gambit was flattered to learn that Rogue had used the alias "Ms. LeBeau" while visiting the town.

Graduation Day

Despite Rogue and the X-Men's struggle to promote peace between mutantkind and humanity, tensions between the two species continued to escalate. During a televised debate against anti-mutant bigot Henry Gyrich, Professor Xavier was outed as a mutant and attacked with a weapon that caused him to lose control of his telepathic powers. Near death from the attack, Cyclops, Beast and Wolverine rushed him back to the mansion.

Despite the best attempts of his students, no medical technology on Earth was enough to save Xavier's life, and even with help from Jean, the Professor was too weak to contact his Shi'ar lover Empress Lilandra in order to request her help. The televised attack against Xavier drove many mutants into believing that all their lives were at stake. This heightened tension was utilized by Magneto, who began raising an army of mutants to seize control of the world.

Desperate to ease tensions and stop Magneto, Cyclops, Jean and Wolverine traveled to Genosha to confront Magneto, while Gambit and the others remained by the Professor's side. In the resulting battle, Magneto's magnetic powers inadvertently super-charged Jean's telepathy. The battle halted after Scott told Magneto that the Professor was dying. At Jean's suggestion, Magneto agreed to return with them to save Xavier's life. Boosted by Magneto, Xavier was able to telepathically contact Lilandra. As Xavier briefly awoke from his coma, he gave parting words to all the gathered X-Men, telling Rogue that though she was unable to touch, she had in truth touched all the X-Men through her actions. As the Shi'ar arrived to take Xavier away, he entrusted the X-Men with his spirit.

Tolerance is Extinction

In the months that followed, the X-Men found new acceptance from the world and a sanction from the United Nations, as tensions between mutants and humans de-escalated. The team was joined by Bishop, who had been stranded in the past, and continued their fight for human and mutant co-existance.

The team was soon thrown into disarray when the last will of Xavier revealed that he had left the mansion and the team to Magneto. Magneto assumed leadership of the X-Men, resisting their demands that he prove himself, and instead demanding their loyalty. When the U.N. learned of his location, they sent a taskforce to arrest him. Magneto agreed to come peacefully in order to stand trial for his crimes. While Magneto won his freedom, the trial was invaded by the Friends of Humanity who sought to de-power Magneto as revenge for his crimes. Instead, Storm sacrificed herself and lost her powers, leaving the X-Men.

Rogue attempted to advise Magneto on how to win the X-Men's trust, and found herself drawn to him for his ability to touch her, as he attempted to re-ignite their romance With the two now teammates, they began spending more and more time together, arousing Gambit's suspicions. When the new mutant nation of Genosha was recognized by the United Nations, Rogue, Magneto and Gambit traveled there to attend a celebration.

Magneto was offered the position of chancellor, Genosha's head of government, and accepted on the condition that Rogue also be given a position on the council. Rogue decided to accept Magneto's offer, and told Gambit of her and Magneto's past. Unable to cope with not being able to touch him, Rogue decided to end their relationship. While hurt, Gambit told her that they would still be friends and that some things were deeper than skin.

During the banquet, Magneto and Rogue shared a sensual dance and a kiss. However, Rogue quickly realized that Gambit had been right and that her love for him was deeper than just the ability to touch. The festivities were soon interrupted by the arrival of a giant Sentinel which began laying waste to the island. Gambit, Rogue and Magneto rallied to fight the Sentinel, pushing their way to the bay to rescue trapped Morlocks. After Magneto seemingly died protecting the Morlocks, a furious Rogue tried to blindly attack the Sentinel. Gambit saved her by pushing her out of the way, and launched his own attack.

The Sentinel impaled him, but with his dying breath, he unleashed his powers, charging the entire Sentinel and destroying it. Gambit's burned body was cradled by a heartbroken Rogue. As the X-Men buried Gambit, Rogue was consumed by vengeace and began searching for Bolivar Trask to avenge Gambit and Magneto. She tracked down Trask's former associate Henry Gyrich in Mexico, and used her powers to absorb his memories, leaving him in a coma. Here, she was found by the X-Men, now joined by her adopted brother Nightcrawler who offered her support as she broke down in tears.

The X-Men were contacted by Trask, who had been forced to give his genetic material and control of the Sentinels to Mr. Sinister and wanted their help. Despondent and suicidal over his technology being used to destroy Genosha he told the X-Men what little he knew of Sinister and OZT, a shadoy organization that had emerged from his old Sentinel programme. Having exacted all his intel, Rogue threw him to his death from a skyscraper as vengeance for Genosha. Trask survived however, as he had been converted into a Prime Sentinel. He knocked Rogue out with one blow, as the X-Men managed to narrowly defeat him with the help of Cable.

Still unconscious, Rogue was taken back to the manor and watched over by Nightcrawler. When the Prime Sentinels, led by human-Sentinel hybrid Bastion, attacked the mansion, Nightcrawler fought to defend her. The Prime Sentinels were disabled by Magneto, who had survived Genosha as Bastion's prisoner before being freed by Valerie Cooper. Magneto unleashed a global EMP, disabling all electronics world-wide.

Rogue awoke just in time to be reunited with Professor X who had returned from the Shi'ar after learning of Genosha's destruction and Gambit's death. Xavier and Rogue shared a moment in private and spoke of Remy, with Rogue bitterly accusing Xavier of seeing them all as his pupils and not people. They were interrupted by the arrival of Magneto, who had raised a new Asteroid M. The effects of his EMP had damaged the Earth's magnetic field. Magneto was resolved to abandon Earth to its fate. He told the X-Men that Xavier's dream was dead and had led them to ruin, offering them a place at his side. Unwilling to watch anymore mutants die, she took him up on his offer, joined only by Sunspot.

In a desperate attempt to both defeat Bastion and stop Magneto, the remaining X-Men launched a two-pronged assault against both of them, with Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Xavier, Jubilee, and Wolverine invading Asteroid M. In a hard fought battle, the X-Men gained the upper hand, with Wolverine knocking Magneto's helmet off and leaving him vulnerable to Xavier's telepathy. However, since disabling Magneto's EMP would restore the Prime Sentinels and imperil the X-Men fighting Basiton, Cyclops saved Magneto after receiving a telepathic distress call from Jean and realizing that her team had not yet defeated Bastion.

Recovering, Magneto disabled his opponents and captured Xavier, using his helmet to disable his powers. As Magneto prepared to execute him for his treachery to their race, Wolverine managed to recover in time to stab Magneto in the back. Wounded but not down, Magneto punished Wolverine by tearing the Adamantium from his bones.
