so great.

Aww, is that Cable's verdict, and hence the verdict of history on Magneto? I would have hoped that he would be remembered at least a little positively for the things he tried to do. And did accomplish, even if they ended badly. ::waves a tiny Genoshan flag::

Got to agree with Cyclops, though, she needed to hear his point of view, even if it isn't the whole story. Magneto, as charmingly idealistic as he is, gets the dynamics right but the analysis wrong. People don't exist in a vacuum, beset by hardships and moral choices, their environment, society, even their tools and homes make some actions easier and some harder. The third option, not changing people or their power, but the bonds between them and the places they live, never occurred to him. And probably never should occur to him, he came out of the Holocaust with a massive case of survivor's guilt, and the sure knowledge that human nature determines the world. He's forever looking at individuals.

Woah, where did that come from? This story is clearly too great for my little mind.

I've friended you, in case you write more, I hope you don't mind.
