Magneto leads a mutant force against a concentration camp in
California; Quicksilver removes the inhibitor collars used on the inmates,
freeing them, including Blob and Unus, to join the fight against their captors.
Magneto and Polaris destroy the Sentinels guarding them, at one point enclosing
Blob in a force bubble and launching him through one of the giant robots. Magneto
invites the freed mutants to join his army and many, including Blob, do so
gladly. And then Charles Xavier arrives….
At his headquarters on Asteroid M, Magneto and Xavier watch
US Vice President Bolivar Trask announce plans to strike back against the
mutants. They discuss various issues such as reports that the US is creating weapons
and Sentinels made out of non-metallic materials. Charles also learns that
Magneto has not told his children he is their father, including Wanda, who is
human. But Xavier’s biggest concern is Magneto’s methods which he finds extreme;
Magneto counters by bringing in Sofia, freed from Genosha. Reading her mind,
Xavier learns of the atrocities committed against mutants who are literally
enslaved there. The two men agree to liberate Genosha….
The island nation of Genosha is invaded by a mutant force. The
USSR, allies of Genosha, have the Soviet Super-Soldiers (Black Widow, Red Guardian,
Crimson Dynamo, Darkstar, Ursa Major, Vanguard, Titanium Man) on
hand. A huge battle ensues between the Soviets and the mutants. Xavier joins
Polaris and Quicksilver in freeing mutate prisoners and Charles restores their
mental faculties and they join in the fight. Crimson Dynamo catches them and
collapses the building, apparently killing Charles Xavier. Enraged, Magneto
confronts the nation’s leaders and rips up a mountain full of iron ore and
threatens to drop it on the island unless they surrender….
