Line 7:
It starts with [[Magneto]] claiming [[The Mighty Thor|Thor]]'s hammer and using it to flood New York. And then, well, [[It Got Worse|it goes pretty much downhill from there.]] The series lasted for 5 issues (January-July, 2009).
Unfortunately, the series was not very well received. The series was criticized for relying on shock value, [[Dropped a Bridge

Line 14:
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: And we mean ''ANYONE.''
* [[Artistic License Physics]]: Reed gives two explanations for how Magneto caused the tidal wave. Either he reversed the earth's magnetic poles (which wouldn't have much effect) or he reversed the axis (which he would have no power to do). Some have speculated that he could have caused the tectonic shifts necessary to create a tidal wave by moving large metal reserves in the earth's crust, but this is never stated in the story.
** [[Atop the Fourth Wall
* [[Crisis Crossover]]
* [[Darker and Edgier]]
Line 22:
** {{spoiler|His children dying is not the only reason. Their deaths are just what ultimately pushed him over the edge. He quite obviously hates humanity and was planning a revolution. Even before Ultimatum in the Ultimate X-Men series, he was willing to kill all humans and those mutants who did not follow him, if memory serves me. But the children dying is what probably pushed him to do this craziness so soon and with such severity. But it doesn't explain why his children dying would push him so much considering he has been shown to be abusive and show little love to them before.}}
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|Various heroes are dead, the X-Men (what's left of them) and Fantastic Four disband, Quicksilver is working for a mysterious evil individual, and Mutants are even more discriminated against then they previously were.}}
* [[Dropped a Bridge
* [[Gorn]]: Blob devouring {{spoiler|Wasp's}} ripped guts, {{spoiler|Hank Pym}} getting blown up by suicide bomber Multiple Man, complete with flying guts and a skeleton being incinerated, {{spoiler|Doctor Strange}} getting squeezed by his own cape until his head graphically explodes, etc.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Yellowjacket gathers the Madrox dupes suicide bombing the Triskellion & takes them out to sea to save the rest of the Ultimates.
