This comic officially needs a new title. How do you forget to include Magneto in a comic called TRIAL OF MAGNETO! He legit appears in like two panels.
Why the hell does Williams think that Billy and Tommy spent their “Entire lives” defending Wanda. They didn’t even know she was their mother for most of their life. They’re like in their twenties in comic book world. They didn’t even know shew was their mom until they were sixteen. And didn’t meet her (For Tommy) until Children’s Crusade. Or met her briefly (Billy).
IF this ends up being that future Wanda killed past Wanda to change her destiny or what not, I am going to be so pissed, because that’s going to be the world’s lamest ending.
So this whole thing is the three Wanda’s. Past Present and Future. Oh wow. That’s so deep and clever.
THis entire comic is a wasted opportunity.
AND WHY THE HELL WERE BILLY AND TOMMY YELLING AT WANDA? It was completely unnecessary, especially when she hasn’t had time to process the info dump she got from the Telepaths with no common sense.
What really set me off isn’t the stupid decision to give Billy red powers, the awful storytelling, or the way they try to shoehorn a connection between Wanda and the twins, but how they screamed at here. It was brutal to see. You‘re telling ME the kids who saved and defended Wanda in the Children‘s Crusade would go and scream at her when she‘s literally having a breakdown and have this abuse be her motivation?
Tommy would never. But Billy???? no possible way would Billy, the man who constantly doubts himself, who believes in everyone, who knows how bad your mental health can get, who knows how tricky powers are, ever, EVER scream at anyone, especially not his spiritual mom. Even after he realized what Loki was planning, he still treated him with respect and treated him as a friend.
WHEN YOU WRITE A FREAKING COMIC READ A FEW FREAKING COMICS BEFOREHAND! IT‘S THE SAME WITH THE INFINITY COMIC. YOU ARE WRITING ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS. YOU GET PAID TO DO THAT! YOU CANNOT JUST CHANGE THEM HOW YOU SEE FIT. IT‘S YOUR FREAKING JOB!

May 13th - Magneto
Known by many names, Erik Lehnsherr is a powerful Mutant who has been willing to go to any extreme to protect his species as Magneto, the master of magnetism.
Born in Nuremberg, Germany to a middle class Jewish family, Erik and his family fled to Warsaw during the rise of the third reich. Erik was ultimately arrested and sent to the concentration camp in Auschwitz, Poland. The young man witnessed and endured countless atrocities while imprisoned in Auschwitz and was the only member of his extended family to survive this senseless holocaust.
Following the war, young Erik discovered he possess the abilities generate and control magnetic fields. These powers came from Erik’s being a Mutant. Furthermore, his abilities led to him being feared and hated by much of the human world. I this coupled with his experiences during the holocaust caused Erik to entirely lose faith in mankind and he dedicated himself to creating a world in which Mutants would become the dominant species on Earth, lording over all inferior species. To this end he renamed himself ‘Magneto’ and began to accrue loyal acolytes among likeminded Mutants.
Seeking to subjugate humanity by brute force, Magneto found himself in direct conflict with his one time friend and ally, Professor Charles Xavier, as well as Xavier’s new team, the X-Men (Mutants who shared a dream of peaceful coexistence with humanity). This would lead to numerous battles between Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants (often referred to as the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants) and The X-Men. Magneto additionally faced off against other heroes, including The Sub-Mariner, The Inhumans and The Fantastic Four.
Following subsequent confrontations with The X-Men, Magneto aided his former rivals in battling the threat posed by the villainous Reverend Stryker. It would prove the first of many instances where Magneto and the X-Men’s interests co-aligned; Magneto was even placed alongside The X-Men by the Beyonder during the Secret Wars event. Magneto ultimately became a member of The X-Men, although there would be numerous instances where their interests would deviate, leading to conflict.
His reputation as an inspirational figurehead among Mutantkind resulted in Magneto being named the leader of the Mutant nation of Genosha; and he was presumed killed when Genosha was destroyed. He resurfaced some time later and rejoined the X-Men. His presence acted to accelerate the growing philosophical divide among the X-Men, culminating in a schism wherein half the X-Men left to pursue a more extreme, militant agenda in their efforts to safeguard Mutantkind. Magneto sided with this faction under the leadership of Cyclops.
Earlier in his life, Magneto had a torrid romance with a Romani woman named Magda. Following Magda’s tragic death, Magneto was led to believe that she had bore him twin children and these children were actually the former members of his Mutant brotherhood known as Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch. Magneto has had a tumultuous, often strained relationship with his son and daughter. Years later he would learn that they were not actually his children and was only manipulated into believing so by the devious High Evolutionary.
Magneto’s actual daughter is the X-man known as Polaris, who possesses similar powers to her father. Polaris was the result of a brief affair Magneto had years ago with a young woman; he and his daughter have only learned of their connection more recently and the two have since become close with one another.
With the advent of the Nation of Krakoa, Magneto has rejoined Professor Xavier, ending their long-time to help establish and govern the fledgling Mutant nation.
Versions of Magneto have appeared in the Fox Films’ X-Men movies, portrayed by actors Michael Fassbender and Sir Ian McKellen. Magneto first appeared in X-Men Vol. 1 #1 (1963).
Magneto enters into the fighting ring to challenge Tarn the Uncaring. Meanwhile, Isca the Unbeaten is a sore loser when she throws a tantrum at the spectator seat and snaps the neck of poor Roberto Da Costa for challenging her in a bet. Back to the fighting ring, Magneto had defeated Tarn by shoving the helmet onto him and crushed his head.
