I know Magneto's history and for some reason women can't see that he's a complete psychopath, but they know he's powerful and he will save the life of a pretty girl if he has to. He's a dirty old man in some sense. I'm just glad Lee asked for Cyclops as well because he's more inclined to be heroic than Magneto.<br /><br />JacobJack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929572842990203873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-22175594322982958412011-08-29T05:40:32.275-04:002011-08-29T05:40:32.275-04:00I'm not sure I understand your comment about w...I'm not sure I understand your comment about whether Lee banged Magneto. Are you questioning it?<br /><br />Of course she did. They were lovers back in the day, before the first time Magneto got involved with Rogue (and after Lee broke up with Cyclops). Mags probably didn't get more than some kisses and hugs from Rogue back then, depending on how you read UXM #275, but he certainly did from Lee. It was quite big thing. He even compared her to Magda ... saying how thankful he was to discover such love a second time in his life.<br /><br />That's why Lee asked for Cyclops and/or Magneto - two old lovers, both of whom she broke up with relatively amicably, and both of whom she'd expect to still feel some love for her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-12502638105220082922011-08-28T10:39:35.506-04:002011-08-28T10:39:35.506-04:00You make an interesting point, Will.

But my point was that Magneto has an ego and I don't think it sits well with him that he never led mutant kind to the kind of promise he wanted. And I think that will eventually catch up with him and the rest of the X-men.<br /><br />And Rothstein, I think you're right. Coleen was never serious. There was just attraction, no more so than there was between Cyclops and Psylocke. But I doubt Coleen will show up again. Lee is different in that she's a bit more hardened to the kind of hectic life that Cyclops lives. So I think it's good that she's showing up again. I hope it's not just a one time thing though.<br /><br />As for Magneto, his nobility is still skewed by his ego. Same with Doom. They both have an overbloated messiah complex. They'll go along with something it if serves a purpose and with mutants heading for a schism, I think that purpose will change very soon.

And if you want to get technical, she was the "rebound" relationship after the Dark Pheonix Saga, leaving Scott Summers with ZERO relationships that aren't either connected to Jean or the result of mental screwjobs. The closest would be Coleen Wing, but according to what I have read that never got past a proposition, even if it was a pretty strong one. She is another person I would like to see reappear though. Like Lee Forrester, she is a strong enough character to not be overwhelmed by all the superhero stuff (and either could quite possibly keep up with it all) yet is a human, which would reconnect the guy back to humanity.<br /><br />And I will somewhat agree with Will about Magneto. His dream has been realized, so him doing his best to make sure it remains a reality and not a memory isn't far fetched. While Doom has been portrayed (sometimes) with a twisted sense of honor (but honor nonetheless) , Magneto has (according to the most writers of the last 20+ years not named Grant Morrison) been portrayed as someone with some level of nobility to him.<br /><br />Rothstein-SmashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-67418543846279277702011-08-27T22:04:11.206-04:002011-08-27T22:04:11.206-04:00I kinda disagree with you Magneto Doom comparison....I kinda disagree with you Magneto Doom comparison. Magneto isn't really doing anything out of his comfort zone. He always wanted a seperate mutant nation. It was the X-Men who went out of their comfort zone and made Utopia, from astriod M I might add (I love irony). He didn't really want to fight fellow mutants, he just did so in situations where he deemed them to be acting against mutant interest. I'm not saying Magneto was always right, I'm just saying that he got his wish. Why is it so strange that he would work for/with the mutant nation he tried so fervently to build so many times before?Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164995060249666058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917870048446264335.post-28515204973252621282011-08-27T21:42:17.847-04:002011-08-27T21:42:17.847-04:00I agree.

It's been a while since Lee showed up and I think this is as good a time as any! I hope Gischler does her justice!

I'm a sucker for her character.<br /><br />Rothstein-SmashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
