Fans familiar with the X-Men titles know Magneto has not always been a powerful magnetic controlling force – he was once a little kid. With the Magneto movie still on the movie slate, Marvel is getting a jump on the look at the young Erik Lensherr, with X-Men: Magneto Testament #1. The company has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek at the issue that arrives September 10, 2008.
Or – “The Kind Of Heroism That Doesn’t Require Super-Powers.”
During the 5o years of Legion operations, many heroes have come and gone, and a great many of them have had limited tenures with the team… But it should be noted that one of the least tenured Legionnaires, the boy called Ferro Lad, even to this day casts one of the longest shadows. But few Legionnaires have had the deck stacked against them the way today’s Hero History subject has. Even his own team leader had trouble seeing him as anything but a replacement Cosmic Boy, but he did everything in his power to change that assessment, and went through a series of setbacks and trials that forced him to redefine the kind of contribution that he could make. Always upbeat, even in the face of tragedy, he helped to define the rebooted Legion as a separate entity from it’s Pre-Crisis counterpart. This, then, is your Major Spoilers Hero History of Dirk Magz of Braal… Magno!
