Era #9, Part 02: Magneto Rex

Grade: C+


The United Nations has "given" Genosha to Magneto. The small island nation off the coast of Africa once genetically altered mutant children (called mutates) and used them as slave labor (see Era #4, Part 15). Their government and way of life was destroyed in the wake of the X-Tinction Agenda (Era #5, Part 10) sending the country into a long civil war. By giving Genosha to Magneto, the United Nations hope to keep the Master of Magnetism occupied with the realities of governing a polarized people and a crippled economy. Quicksilver and Rogue go to Genosha in an attempt to temper Magneto's rule.
