rogue and magneto love

[MrV]

Magneto was deaged in the 80's to be around 30 years old. It's generally considered that about 5 years have passed since then, Marvel time, so that makes him about 35ish now.

Ah, okay. Yes, I also wondered when I read X-Men: First to Last. It showed flashbacks to when the original X-Men were rookies in yellow uniforms and Magneto looked old, while Paco Medina's present-day Magneto looked younger by comparison.

More specifically, just in case you are curious how he was de-aged, the mutant Alpha -- which he was trying to use to take over the world in a Defenders book -- evolved over the course of the story into a god-like being. Alpha then turned on his former master and decided that Magneto and the brotherhood needed to start over, so he reduced them all to infants. Later, Shiar tech restored them to maturity, but younger than their original age. Later, in the Trial of Magneto, Erik was revelaed to be, physically, a man in his mid thirties.


Oh, and Magneto and Rogue are a great couple. I waited impatiently ever since the Savage Land for a writer willing to try that with them again.

EDIT: Wait, what I don't get is how can Magneto be so young-looking?

Wasn't he a Holocaust survivor?

In answer to your question, Tom Brevoort confirms that Magneto is old now :-

Question:-why couldn't Magneto be an 80-year old man in the early X-Men stories? it's his superpowers, intelligence, and charisma that make him a threat, it's not like he's some brawler who relies on physical strength (unless you count Jeph Loeb's take on him, lol)

Reading those stories, he pretty clearly isn't. And even if you could stretch a point, in a few more years he will have had to be in his 90s, and then his 100s...


BTW, Rogue and Juggernaut sound good!

I love your thread!



What two women are you talking about? Magda and... Isabella? Lee Forester? He's totally over Lee Forester, likes to pretend it never happened. And he never had a relationship with Isabella, because he was still grieving for Magda. Magda died sometime in 1950's Marvel time, so he's been grieving for Magda for *years.* Just how long do you want him to grieve??? The interesting thing with Magneto is that he's not had many relationships, despite his age. It makes it seem like Rogue's more than just a pretty face to him, there's something significant about his feelings for her.

Anyway, I honestly didn't like Rogue/Magneto before Carey's run, but now they're one of my favorite MU couples. They just seem like opposites in many ways, and I think that makes them more interesting than other couples like, say, Colossus/Kitty. It makes his character lean towards the "good" side as well, which I also think is interesting. And it's one of those things that we've seen being hinted at for years, but it's never really happened in the books until now.

I'd like to see them solidify their relationship, first of all. Then I think they could get more serious after that. I mean, right now they're not even speaking to each other, so that's kind of a problem. I don't think they would be too high maintenance, but I would like to see them do something romantic at some point. That hardly happens for any X-characters these days, but still...

Romantic and Magneto is oil and water they don't go together but the best part about the relationship ie how she going to react when he go mad again because its going to happen can't keep Mags and Doom good forever when their Marvel two top villains.

Everytime Rogue runs her hands through Mags' locks it is a tribute to that true silver fox, Mike Carey. It is nothing less than an honour to read about Rogneto.

[DarkMagnus]

I want a Rogue miniseries based in her HOM life, and her road to be the Queen.

This thread needs more pictures!

They are perfect for each other. I say this without actually giving a crap about either character. Let the story play out.

Rogue cares about you.

Rogue cares about you.

LOL ... I doubt that very much. But you made me laugh. Something that seldom happens on this forum.

Funny how Rogue is merely a sexual tool in that drawing. What if both were in similar clothing? That would be somewhat more just.

[MrV]

Ew, Mags is an an old, fat guy, I don't want to see him shirtless!

I thought they had rejuvenated him in the 80s so he would be a middle aged man again?

Some stories from the 90s have even shown him nude, and represent him as aesthetically good looking as Rogue. You can even tell from the muscles that under the costume he is a fine specimen like Rogue, who must be awful cold.

I see neither here
