Fortress Keeper: Well, someone’s being taken for a ride, that’s for sure. But you know, that parallel universe idea is not a bad way to go. =)

elad: A HA! You’re right! My brain had effectivly removed Sublime but no! Maybe someone worked through him to get to Xorn but then I’d just be making excuses. That’s their job, isn’t it?

wait, we don’t know what controlled the Xorn/Magneto thing?
when did they changed it from being done by Sublime?

I just like to go with the initial story, that Xorn was simply Magneto taking the X-Men for a ride. Everything that happened later occurred in a parallel universe.

It’s an explanation that gets me through a lot of comic book conundrums, as well as the last two seasons of That 70s Show

Dan: Like we wouldn’t have wanted to see Magneto throw Iron Man around, only to get punched by Captain America. Or hey! Maybe Wolverine could get in a good kick for pulling out all the metal in his body, oh so many years ago. Then maybe Magneto could have done something cool. Because HE’S MAGNETO. Maybe we want to be given a backstory that doesn’t involve multiple charts and graphs. Then again, I could be wrong.

CalvinPitt: No no no, Star Xorn was ‘forced to asume the identity of Magneto’. It’s like throwing a DoomBot at the FF and them not getting the clue; plausible, sure, but it sort of makes your heroes look dim. Which is perfectly find for Marvel these days.
I’m going to go read Nextwave.

So what, the first Xorn was just pretending to be Magneto? How the hell did he pull that off? I mean, I don’t think highly of most of the X-groups intelligence, but damn.

And even with that explanation, my head still hurts. I wish my friend would hurry up and e-mail his thesis to me. Proofreading that would be a welcome upgrade to thinking about New Avengers.

Feh. Back in the 70′s they would have explained all of that in about three flashback panels, it would have made more sense, and there still would’ve been time left for Magneto to beat the Avengers to a standstill single-handedly before getting chased off by… whatever. Who cares, my point is it would’ve been over quickly and on to the awesome.
