Magneto forges an unlikely partnership with Xavier<\/a> in pursuit of a lofty common goal: the protection of all mutants.<\/i><\/p>\n

If you accept the premise of House of X<\/i>, that the new history we've been given has been true all along, then you really have to wonder why, considering that this is meant to be a collaboration begun more than a decade ago, Magneto spent so much time trying to kill the X-Men. Was it all an act? Did he lose faith in Moira's<\/a> plan? Presumably there will eventually be a story that explains that.<\/p>\n

His HoX\/PoX<\/i> costume is basically the same one he was wearing after the Schism<\/i> storyline, just with sleeves this time and an older style of cape<\/a>. Technically there should be ribbing on the side panels, but that would have required a new body<\/a> mold. He already got new forearms, because those have re-use potential. The silver helmet is new, too, though that seems unneceesary - the last one<\/a> would have worked just fine.<\/p>\n

His only accessories are alternate hands - gripping, gesturing, fists - and the head of this series' Build-A-Figure Tri-Sentinel<\/a>. Well, three heads, but just one mold.<\/p>\n
