Trial of Magneto #2 Review *spoilers*

[Mercury]

I like your enthusiasm and positivity to both Jean and Wanda Mercury, I hope we do get to see something like this and other interactions as well going after this story Between Wanda, Jean and other X-Men!

You're sweet, and thank you! I appreciate the compliment ❤️ I believe I posted this panel in this thread, along with other panels of Vision and Wanda saving Jean from Avengers #110 (1973). This is from Avengers #111:

Thanks for the scans Mercury I always liked teen Jean relationship with Magneto, hopefully someday someone follows up on it because some things were left unexplained.

I also would like to see a friendship between Wanda and Jean, they are not friends simply because they have not interacted much but I could see them bonding over their experiences with Dark Phoenix and M-Day. Like I think Bendis completely missed this but Leah seems to have catched on this opportunity.

Several issues later...







That's all.

The marvel encylopedia, the latest one says that hope is a telepath and telekinetic in her own right.

Ah, I have been reading posts and wondering where this was coming from. Hope did show psi-powers at an early age (if I recall correctly it was so long ago) but wasn't it because she was near Cable or that is what many of us assumed.

I completely agree with you about wanting to see Jean’s relationship with Magneto explored. I’m also hoping Leah is setting things up so that Jean plays a pivotal part in welcoming Wanda back. So far, it seems like this is what she might be doing.

Bendis’ run and rendering of Jean might be my favorite, so I was happy to find out that the powers that be considered time-displaced teenage Jean to be current Jean, their experiences, powers, and memories one and the same. Hopefully, Duggan or another writer will begin introducing aspects of how Jean’s time travels, especially how she used her powers during that period, which was both surprising and impressive.

Even Magneto admitted that it was possible she could kill him.

Wanda's subconscious attempt at resetting her origins to being a mutant and Magneto's daughter I stand by the theory that when she "No more mutants"-ed she warped her origin (and quicksilver's by default) to make her not a mutant or Magneto's daughter anymore (unintentionally and subconsciously without her even knowing that she did it). I feel like their conversation at the end of the gala, with Mags telling her that he still thought of her as a daughter and hoped to find a way to help her reconcile with the mutant community, triggered something deep inside her that said that it was okay for her to change things back. As for the traces of metal that were binding her, that they think killed her, I think that when her powers started to change things back and hurt her, Magneto tried to restrain her so that she couldn't hurt herself, but then she teleported him away and knocked him out, which is why he doesn't have an alibi and doesn't actually know what happened. Because he doesn't know what happened, he's started to question if he really did do it, which is why he's so conflicted when finally confronted by the Avengers.

Ps.
The fake Magneto is there and the real one is with Hope.

Yes I believe you are right

Yes I think even Claremont made comparations between Jean´s powers as the phoenix force and Magneto powers on Excalibur vol.3 so my guess is that they have similar powers levels when they use their powers to their fullest expression.

I think it would be an interesting story to see Teen Jean and adult Jean have a conversation on her head, I think it would be a nice contrast to see the different perspectives, because Teen Jean tried to put distance from her adult self out of fear of ending dead as well but now they are both Jean and I think it would be nice to see how they perceive everything around them. How differently they see things now with Krakoa and the X-men at NY.

Ps.
The fake Magneto is there and the real one is with Hope.

Agreed there´s no reason for him to change his clothes, unless that just like with Wanda, there is more than one Magneto around.

I wonder if Leah will actually use the second Magneto from Age of X-man or if that will forever be a dropped plotline that goes nowhere

[Lucyinthesky]

Jordan White said they were going to back to Age of X-man Magneto but I don´t know if it´s going to be here or on another story post inferno.

I haven't heard of this scenario before with Magneto, interesting, as for your theory with Wandas and Pietros origin, that is a very good option.

She doesn't have to be Magneto's biological child to be a mutant and she doesn't have to be a mutant to be Magneto's child

[PhoenixThanos]

True, but being mutants on the Avengers superhero team and the children of the evil mutant Magneto made Wanda and Pietro unique imo

And it made for some interesting situations for two Avengers to be mutants who were the children of evil mutant Magneto. It shows a lot about how accepting the Avengers are, and on what a diverse roster they had of mutants, humans, mutates, robots, androids, sorcerers, gods, etc.

In Jeen's solo Jean and Wanda did bond. I think others writers need to follow up with this.

[Lucyinthesky]

Yes but I didn´t like how adult ghost Jean described Wanda, that looked a little OOC from her, she may not known Wanda very well but she would not call her a narcissist but I loved the interaction between teen Jean and Wanda so hopefully there will be some more of it on ToM.
