FROM THE ASHES! Krakoa is gone, Orchis has fallen… but the X-Men remain, always. Cyclops leads, because that is what he does. Beast builds, because that is what he does. And from their new home in Alaska, the X-Men raise a flag of defiance. Mutant business is their business. Join Cyclops, Beast, Magneto, Psylocke, Magik, Kid Omega, Temper, and Juggernaut as new forces in the world move into position, battling for the destiny and philosophy of the mutant species.
Magneto Will Always Be An Iconic X-Men Sex Symbol
When Magneto was first introduced he was depicted as a curmudgeonly older man, with a penchant for verbal abuse and light acts of terrorism. Slowly, over the years, Erik became more and more heroic, and after being de-aged and re-aged several times, was eventually consistently depicted as a ripped, chiseled older man. The new Disney+ animated series X-Men ’97 has highlighted the sexy romance between Magneto and the X-Men icon Rogue, which is based on the intimate relationship the two characters had in comics while living in the Savage Land.

Magneto’s sensuality, self-confidence, and incredible power have always made him an attractive man, and in recent years have taken to showing off the hero’s impressive physical physique and intimate, caring personality. Many X-Men are long-running sex symbols, notably heroes like Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Psylocke, but Magneto certainly ranks up there with some of the X-Men’s hottest members. Tony Daniels’ cover for X-Men #1 depicts a fierce-looking Magneto rocking a full beard and wearing a fascinating new costume, with a cape that looks like it is made from metal bird feathers.
X-Men’s New Era Sees Magneto Stepping Up In Xavier’s Absence
Tony Daniels’ X-Men #1 cover depicts the brooding Magneto towering over the rest of the main From the Ashes team, led by Cyclops alongside Tempest, Kid Omega, Beast, Magik, and Juggernaut. Teases for the X-Men’s new era have hinted that Xavier will become “Prisoner X,” after trying to genocide humanity and erase Krakoa from history, meaning a new revolutionary “mentor” needs to fill his shoes. With Magneto resurrected, and more dedicated than ever to protecting mutantkind, the handsome hero is once again stepping up in Xavier’s absence.
The X-Men legend Magneto has long been seen as a sex symbol, and an iconic representation of attractive older men, and his newest era is certainly leaning into this vibe. Magneto can be a leader, and a total Zaddy, all at once… nothing is too difficult for the Master of Magnetism.
X-Men #1 from Marvel Comics debuts on July 10th, 2024.
