* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Magneto choosing to kill one of the Acolytes but not all of them for engaging in "genetic cleansing" (and he's a Holocaust survivor) may actually be just his attempt to reassert control over his cult. After all, he may want them to commit violence in the future as his soldiers but wants to reign them in from Cortez's indiscriminate atrocities. So saying, "killing without my permission" (despite being in a coma previously) may not be the InsaneTrollLogic it sounds like. It's saying only do it when I say so and no one else.

* CharacterRerailment: Essentially, the entire point of the ''Fatal Attractions'' story was to restore Magneto to his role as the BigBad of the X-men after his period as a good guy. It does a fairly decent job of it as his motives to create a separatist nation in space are not too far from his previous actions.

* CompleteMonster: Continuing the tradition from his first appearance, Fabian Cortez is this. He's the mastermind of the horrifying hospice attack mentioned below, and also finds the time to infect Valerie Cooper with a mind-controlling PuppeteerParasite before Exodus shows up to give him the thrashing he deserves.

Foe Yay has been cut


* FoeYay: Professor X and Magneto have a moment where Mags cradles Xavier's chin and invites him to "walk down my path", proving that this trope is OlderThanTheyThink in the X-universe.

* HarsherInHindsight: Professor Xavier mindwiping Magneto after he rips Wolverine's adamantium out, given that's the moment that'd give birth to ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}.
* ItWasHisSled: Wolverine gets his adamantium ripped out.
* MoralEventHorizon: Magneto's planet-wide EMP strike doesn't have the emotional impact of some of his other crimes, but in terms of sheer numbers it might just be the most destructive thing he's ever done. Power was lost all around the world for hours, and while the death toll is estimated on-panel to be "hundreds, maybe thousands" the sheer logistics involved in such an event make the estimate seem ludicrously understated.
* NightmareFuel: The Acolytes forcing their way into a hospice and brutally murdering the patients and staff.
