Brotherhood of Mutants

Purpose: The Brotherhood of Mutants is an underground group formed and formerly led by Magneto. It originally stood for the superiority of Homo-Superiors over Homo-Sapiens, and the uprising hope of the downtrodden mutant. However, when Magneto dissolved the group, Mystique picked up the torch for her own personal agendas. The group most commonly comes into conflict with The X-Men but has been known to fight other hero teams such as the Avengers and the New Warriors. Anti-Mutant groups often refer to them as 'The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants'.

History Magneto founds the Brotherhood of Mutants. To inspire the group, he attacks Cape Citadel, Florida and comes into conflict with the X-Men for the first time. The Brotherhood of Mutants perform terrorist attacks and battle the X-Men. Mastermind and Magneto prompt Unus the Untouchable to attack the X-Men as a test to see if he's worthy to join the group. The Brotherhood attacks the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and kidnaps the X-Men. Magneto attempts to convince them to join his side and then orders them brainwashed but the Brotherhood is surprised when a new team of X-Men arrives to save the originals. Frustrated with how Magneto treats him and the constant failures of the group, Mastermind flees the group and begins plans to become a member of the Hellfire Club's Inner Circle. The Brotherhood has a few scuffles with the Avengers, leading to Unus the Untouchable leaving the group and pursuing a personal agenda. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch discover they are really Magneto's children. They try to get their father to stop his war but Magneto refuses. After some conflict, Pietro and Wanda leave the group. Magneto tries to get them back a few times but fails. Magneto dissolves the Brotherhood of Mutants after a few failed terrorist attacks, discouraged by repeated defeat and the rejection of his family. Mystique reforms the Brotherhood of Mutants for her own goals, following the advice of her precognative lover Destiny. They perform various acts of terrorism and come into conflict with several hero groups like the X-Men and the New Warriors. The Brotherhood attempts to assassinate Senator Kelly but is stopped by the X-Men. The Brotherhood is still active, plotting their next move.
