Magneto is back, and this time he has help. The introduction of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. This version is Toad, Mastermind, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch. Toad is a toady, Mastermind has the same energy as Starscream, but is also really creepy towards Scarlet Witch. Quicksilver's entire personality is "Keep Wanda safe, and maybe don't mass murder". Lots of infighting. They take over a country using illusions of an army . X-Men go to fight them, shenanigans, they win but a bomb injures Xavier and he loses his powers. Quicksilver disables a nuke before it goes off, to save the country because he isn't comically evil, just protecting Wanda who seems to be incapable of accepting that just because Magneto saved her from a mob, doesn't mean that she has to obey him.
X-tra Notes: At the time, Magneto didn't have his more modern interpretation of being a Holocaust survivor, but in retrospect, his illusory Army looking like Nazis REALLY should have tipped him off on him becoming the thing he hates.
