X-Men: The Magneto War

Savior Complex

Fabian Cortez leads a group of Acolytes to Xavier’s Institute to learn a secret that only Xavier can answer. The newest Acolyte, Rem-Ram, uses his powers to sneak into Xavier’s head and begins to nudge the man’s dreams towards thinking of Magneto. Eventually, the strain is too much for Xavier, so Rem-Ram links to the minds of Rogue, Gambit, and Wolverine and pits them against Magneto, while Xavier watches in hopes that this will prompt some reaction. However, a vicious nightmare in Wolverine’s mind wakes up Xavier, who immediately senses the Acolytes on the school grounds.

The X-Men attack, but find themselves taken by surprise by the two new Acolytes, Barnacle and Static. Eventually, the X-Men defeat the Acolytes, though Cortez amplifies Rem-Ram’s powers too much to learn the secret from Xavier, almost killing Rem-Ram.

When Xavier and Rogue save Rem-Ram, the Acolytes see this and ask for asylum in the mansion, while Cortez runs away defeated. Xavier turns down the Acolytes and, after they leave, he explains that, while in Rem-Ram’s head, he learned that the Acolytes learned that Magneto returned and wished to know if Joseph was Magneto or not. He sent away the Acolytes so they could follow them on their quest to find Magneto, so the X-Men can learn as well if the master of magnetism is back.

Meanwhile, Magneto gathers Amelia Voght and his other loyal Acolytes, to whom he promises action soon. However, he sends Amelia on a special mission to safeguard Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch from the upcoming inferno.
