X-Factor #10: (SPOILER) Is Murdered By Magneto At The Hellfire Gala!

[@364carrollst]

You all, I know about the Ed Buck story in ways uncomfortable to discuss currently but I must say that as a black, gay man, this brought me to tears that someone cared enough to bring this story to life. You grow up feeling like you don’t matter, that these atrocities that happen to people like you don’t matter and no matter how happy you get, there’s a sense of dread behind everything because you know in your heart no one gives a shit. Seeing this broke me. But in a way I couldn’t be happier about. I keep getting lost trying to find the right words to say because I’m feeling so much right now. Thank you to everyone involved with bringing this story to this comic. When people make the joke about being seen, I felt that genuinely today, I felt seen and I felt cared for. And I’ve never felt that from the community outside of mine before. And I’m thankful for this. Thank you.

I wouldn't worry about them, I would worry about Wiccan hearing about this, no way is the literal God and husband to the space king not gonna cause troubles. In SWORD they mentioned how Teddy and Billy don't like how Krakoa treats Wanda, so her now being killed by a Krakoan will cause rage.

[@jreliford34]

Clearly Magneto didn't kill her. Classic misdirection.

[@scottfitzgerald3627]

I'm guessing Magneto killed her so she would be resurrected in the protocols as a mutant rather than as a creation of the High Evolutionary. I think this is how Magneto brings Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver back into the mutant population.

[@kennethrobinson7177]

This would be dope

[@surfer1927]

I agree

[@RubeusArchos]

Question. One has to ask Is that even possible. That's like killing a normal human and bringing them back as a mutant.

[@scottfitzgerald3627]

@@RubeusArchos Well, it's complicated. They put the consciousness into a husk body created by a group of Omega Level Mutants including a reality warper (Proteus). Proteus himself has been using a succession of husks of Professor X as his host bodies. There's also Mr. Sinister. Mr. Sinister is not a mutant, he's a human that modified himself to include an X-Gene (from Thunderbird and Courier) and they're able to resurrect him. I think it's possible. I think part of the "Trial" will be Magneto arguing that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are truly his children and belong in Krakoa, and a successful resurrection would act as a "proof of concept" that they belong as part of the mutant family, but that's clearly not going to be acceptable to some members of the Quiet Council (particularly Exodus). From a greater theme standpoint I think the story will be about what truly makes someone family (personally for Magneto, and overall for mutantkind).

[@rickywright402]

He killed her not just to revamp her mutant status, but to atone for "No more murants"

[@daemonblackfyre3238]

I believe she and Quicksilver lost their XGene when she said "No more Mutants". Thats why she uses only chaos magic and hasnt used her hex or probability power.

[@WannabeWryter]

Whose going to tell Quicksilver about Wanda?

[@wagnercolbert737]

Hmmmm, I'm thinking this is some Mystique stuff...Here she comes...

[@mutazah]

Another thought is Wanda asked to be killed considering the guilt of M-Day.

[@BlackSuperman2099]

I'm guessing it's either Mystique and/or Onslaught who killed Wanda. Who knows, they're probably in cahoots w/ each other against "common enemies".

[@darrius3022]

Either Magneto killed her to somehow resurrect her as mutant, she killed herself to be resurrected as one or an angry powerful or sneaky mutant(Exodus) caught her off guard and killed her. Please give Exodus something to do Marvel.

[@toddnelson7926]

I can't see Exodus killing Wanda and especially not hiding the body, Exodus would hold Wandas dead body for all of Krakoa to see.

[@darrius3022]

@@toddnelson7926 But Exodus also respects Magneto so if he already knew how Magneto would feel or was telepathically listening in he would know he couldn't kill her and brag. Exodus is a mutant supremacist and impulsive, he definitely sees Wanda as a threat to mutants. If he sensed her presence he would've undoubtedly taken action against her and been messy about it leaving her body and teleporting away as soon as he heard someone getting close. Just one of possibilities others Magneto did it for rebirth, Wanda did herself or someone like Mystique. I just really want to stop seeing Exodus on sidelines so much doing nothing. The guys psionic power allowed him to fight Externals, Apocalypse, X-men and Avengers simultaneously, resurrect people, counter reality manipulation etc yet he just sits around at meetings as a background Character for the longest time barely saying a sentence.

[@Mrsierramist1]

There were so many good beats in this story that just needed more time to breathe. I was one of the people that thought Leah would be back on X-Factor after the trial, but that is clearly not the case. I love Leah and I loved this book despite the pacing problems with this final issue.

[@adamcedeno7465]

This is the work of Mystic or Onslaught

[@seanthatsit1089]

Magneto didn’t kill her. Mystique did. The “magneto” Wanda met with was Mystique. That’s why “he” was so out of character when they met in SWORD. This is the inciting incident for a civil war that will tear mutant unity apart. And that’s what we will see in inferno. Magneto is gonna be found guilty of a crime he did not commit he will refuse to go quietly lines will be drawn and sides will be taken. If that’s not how this goes down I will be surprised

[@1MarkKeller]

Yep, but was Mystique being possessed by Onslaught or did she do it to follow her orders from Oracle to, "burn it to the ground?"

[@1MarkKeller]

For that matter, maybe Onslaught possessed Magneto to kill her?

[@hillbillyhippy]

Yup.

[@DrZelionPeak]

It wasn't mystique lol , it was Magneto. He wasn't out of character , that's how he truly feels about his daughter. How would mystique know about anya? , it obviously wasn't mystique. Magneto killed wanda so she can be ressurected as a mutant , the story will continue in trial of Magneto and based on the Variant covers it will have a lot to do with Magneto and his family , and the backlash he'll get from other heroes like the avengers. Mystique has nothing to do with it. I've heard this theory before but it's blatantly wrong.

[@DrZelionPeak]

@@1MarkKeller It wasn't mystique Lol

[@1187underground]

This series is ending WAY too soon. It was just getting good. The Ed Buck reference was great storytelling and great connection that you made. I would really like the retcon to be thrown away by making Scarlet Witch a mutant again. I really think it was either a mercy killing or Mystique is making her moves to begin Inferno.

[@PantherDeNoir]

Magneto is fbe the GOAT

[@thomaswilliams3835]

I believe all of the previous continuity can be maintained with a very mild retcon. The twins newest history is that their mother was a Romani witch named Natalya Maximoff, and their father is unnamed. Now imagine that Natalya is also the Romani wife of Magneto, using the name Magda, looking to "retire" from the adventurous life that had been consuming her existence. When the house fire traps their daughter Anya, and Magnus unleashes his fury on the villagers, she flees, because this is exactly what she did not want. "Magda" goes to Wundagore, which Natalya is familiar with, and gives birth, before abandoning the twins, and fleeing again. Chthon made contact with Wanda due to the hereditary potential of the Scarlet Witch. This leaves so much story potential. Did "Magda" really die in the blizzard? Did Anya really die in the house fire? The High Evolutionary's claim of experimenting on them could be factual as well. His failure wasn't in giving them their abilities, but in ruining their development of those abilities, which is why the creation Luminous is more powerful than both twins. This would be in between attempting to give the twins to Robert Frank, and giving them to Django and Marya Maximoff, who were potentially their aunt and uncle, which would add credence to them naming their daughter Ana, and "Magda" naming her daughter Anya, and Django's talent for animating the dolls he made, making it his magic, and not inherent in the wood. After House of M, Magneto, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet Witch appeared to be part of the group who had their X-Gene removed, but in reality, all Wanda did was suppress it. When Magneto and Quicksilver both attempted to regain their abilities, all they really did was unlock what was still there. Pietro's "new" abilities he gained from the exposure to the Terrigen crystals, were actually part of his original abilities before the High Evolutionary's tampering. This also leaves an opening to explore how Wanda's abilities would have progressed without his influence. The blood spell she cast in Axis didn't visibly affect her either. If you read how she worded the spell, it does not distinguish to exclude herself from the curse. My opinion is that Pietro bore the brunt of the changes the High Evolutionary made, and it made him more susceptible to her spell, which is why only he was visibly affected, but due to their tampered genes, actually affected them both, and had the side effect of hiding the X-Gene, like the original House of M spell, but allowing them to still access the abilities. This is a whole lot of fan theory, but it is also the easiest solution to the twins convoluted past, and bring opportunity for a wealth of future stories.
