This is a fair question, but that was during the Headmaster Erik phase in the 80's when Mags was legit redeemed. The FF were one of the first heroes to step up for him and defend him against people like the avengers! But that was years ago before Mags did some really hinky stuff. Don't forget that Magneto is legit responsible for hundreds of thousands of civilian human deaths and mutilations. His kill count might be in the millions if Fatal attractions is still canon. Y'know, when he EMP'd all the continents on the surface of the world.

Wrong city, wrong people, all huddling in fear.
No one escapes the slaughterhouse, and that's just where you're at.
(You could've asked Rebecca but then Adam stomped her flat.)
You think you're special cuz you're scrappy? You're deluded, time to go.
Lucy's living on the moon but you're another dead psycho."
Be sure to check out the Invisible Woman appreciation thread!

You're not wrong but these guys, along with the other groups, were hired by Verendi to kill the mutants. At least that's what the local kid told Bishop. It was just a matter of who got to them first. And we do know these guys were going to hand Kate's body over to Verendi for her DNA. No bueno.
To loop this back into the thread, this is partly why the mutants feel so strongly about their nation and everything they're doing, which is what Sue was questioning.

Just like to make a few comments.
Bobbys violence : I think people are ignoring the nature of his powers. I've many , many times thought that if he went around freezing people into blocks of ice he would in fact cause horrific damage. Loss of fingers , limbs , and probably life.Just this time the consequences are shown. And of course the frostbite would be inevitable.
Cyclops encounter with the ff : I've read that multiple times now. Cyclops is the perfect gentleman here , a true boy scout .he could even pass for English. When Reed says he has a problem handing over Creed (in defiance of international law) Cyclops backs off immediatly.
I sometimes think we are all reading different versions of these comics.
