X-Men (Comic Book): Difference between revisions

* [[Face Heel Revolving Door]]: Magneto. In his backstory he was a friend of Xavier until they split over disagreement about how to best help mutants and almost all versions of Magneto are [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Well Intentioned Extremists]], so it's a relatively small jump to a [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment leading him to moderate his methods or an [[Enemy Mine]] situation forcing the X-Men to put up with him despite them. Circumstances don't let him stay that way, however. [[Depending on the Writer]] comes into play, as well, both [[Grant Morrison|in how far off the deep end he can go]] and whether he should be antihero or archnemesis.

* [[Must Make Amends]]: This happens to Magneto. He's always been opposed by the X-Men, so by now he often attacks them at full power (which is a lot) instinctively. Sadly, the X-Men are mutants... some of the people Magneto wants to protect. Even worse, the one he accidentally hurts is the then-newest recruit, a 13-year-old (mutant) girl. "What have I done?" is the short version of his monologue, when he realizes what he has done. Follow his [[Villainous BSOD]] and his first [[Heel Face Turn]] as [[The Atoner]].
