It's been nearly two years since Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, retired from crime with his wife Typhoid Mary and literally sailed into the sunset, away from New York City, Hell's Kitchen, and Daredevil. And in June's Giant-Size Daredevil #1, he'll finally cross paths with Matt Murdock again - but this time, he'll have some hellish new powers to challenge the Man Without Fear.
Marvel confirms Magneto is one of its deadliest villains, with thousands of deaths on his hands
28.02.2024 - 22:45 / gamesradar.com / George Marston
Magneto is one of Marvel Comics' most complex and layered characters, with a long history as one of the publisher's top villains as well as several stints as a full-on mutant hero. In February 28's Resurrection of Magneto #2, Magneto's complicated nature is put on full display as the Master of Magnetism is confronted with the full weight of all the deaths he's caused - but also with the other side of the scale.
Resurrection of Magneto #2 by writer Al Ewing, artist Luciano Vecchio, colorists David Curiel and Jesus Aburtov, and letterer Joe Sabino picks up where #1 left off, with Storm discovering Magneto stuck in a kind of mutant purgatory, seemingly in torment.
As it turns out, Magneto is undergoing a kind of self-inflicted penance, in which he is reading the names of all the people who he ever killed and who died because of him and his philosophies.
People who died "by my hand or in my name. By my action or inaction. By intent or accident. Those I regret. Those I don't. They all count," states Magneto.
As Storm observes, there are tens of thousands of names displayed on the walls from which Magneto is reading - meaning that Magneto is truly one of Marvel's deadliest villains.
But there's a twist. Though Magneto refuses to forgive himself for his misdeeds and insists on remaining in his personal purgatory, passing judgment on himself (in his own words), Storm shows him the other side of his history in the Marvel Universe.
Rearranging the walls to show the names of all the people saved because of Magneto and his presence in the Marvel Universe - which outnumber the people whose deaths were caused by Magneto "a thousand to one," reaching well into the tens of millions - Magneto realizes that his legacy isn't as black and white as even he believes.
With some more convincing from Storm, who tells Magneto of the fall of Krakoa and the corralling of mutants into concentration camps by Orchis, he finally agrees to return to life, using a secret ace-in-the-hole: a magic key given to him years ago which will allow him to return to life, as seen in a flashback earlier in the issue.
And though Magneto's magic key does take him and Storm out of the mutant "Waiting Room," they don't go straight back to Earth. Instead, they fall into darkness, coming face-to-face with the Shadow King.
This implies they could be in the Astral Plane, a psychic realm from which the dead can sometimes return, as previously seen when Xavier himself was brought back to life way back in 2017 after dying in 2012's Avengers Vs. X-Men.
We'll learn exactly what's what when Resurrection of Magneto #3 arrives on March 20.
It's no surprise that Magneto tops the list of the best X-Men villains of all time.
