This month, we\u2019re back in the present, with the FF at Project Pegasus, with their weird eye machine. They can\u2019t tell what it is, and hypothesize that it might even be alive. Wendell Vaughan helpfully tells them it\u2019s been down there since \u201cWorld Ward II-ish,\u201d and Reed tells them they all need to get out of there right now, because it could be a weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those eye machines are suddenly popping up in places all over the world. Tony Stark\u2019s mansion, the FF\u2019s home, Xavier\u2019s school, the Daily Bugle, even Peter Parker\u2019s basement. You might think this is the story kicking into gear, but instead of following it, we flash back 27 years to more of Wolverine in the Weapon X tank\u2026 which he is suddenly raised out of by a young man with powers who is very upset about this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magneto. It\u2019s so weird and pointless to me that they re-changed his name. He was \u201cMagnus\u201d for decades. Then he suddenly became \u201cErik \u2018Magnus\u2019 Lehnsherr\u201d in 1993, and then, at some point when I wasn\u2019t looking, suddenly his name became \u201cMax Eisenhardt.\u201d Why? I don\u2019t know. But it hadn\u2019t happened yet, so he\u2019s still \u201cErik\u201d here. We then jump to 18 years ago, with the future Magneto meeting Professor X as he lectures about, I guess literature, at a regular college. Magneto somehow knows Xavier is telepathic on their first meeting, and thinks at him that he\u2019d like to buy him lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, Erik shows off his powers, and says he truly doesn\u2019t know why Xavier can\u2019t read his mind. They talk some more, and Erik reveals he \u201cand his friends\u201d want to make Xavier\u2019s dream of a place for mutant to train and learn together a reality. 2 years later, they\u2019re in the Savage Land, not for the first time. Magneto is forming his Brotherhood there, and has brought Xavier to teach them. Then he reveals his parents worked at Weapon X, and when his power manifested, his dad tried to kill him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We learn in short order that Magneto has known Wolverine the whole time, and he\u2019s always welcome in the Savage Land, but doesn\u2019t live there. This sort of works with how Wolverine joined the Ultimate X-Men as a spy for Magneto at first. Then he has Xavier show him a mental image of his dream school, and\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the history of the Ultimate U is sort of 2 parallel tracks, Captain America-related activities, and mutant-related activities. With these eyestalks in the mix. What\u2019s it all amount to? I don\u2019t actually remember\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
