The Mutant Massacre storyline from Chris Claremont’s legendary run on Uncanny X-Men remains fondly remembered by X-fans of the mid-1980s. Marvel collected it recently in a 320-page The Mutant Massacre. But before the X-men, Captain America faced the original mutant massacre in Jack Kirby’s Captain America Annual #4.

Magneto plays the villain here, with the fate of a horrifying but sympathetic mutant driving Kirby’s plot. Conceptually and visually, Annual #4 has much to offer. Just look at these splash pages! On the other hand, Kirby’s Captain America run in the 70s did little with Cap as a character. In this and other Kirby Captain America stories, Cap functions as a pretty generic action hero. The interest lies in Kirby’s penchant for exploring mind-blowing science fiction concepts, and rendering them as no one else can.

Not nearly as far-reaching in scope and consequence as Claremont’s mutant massacre, Kirby’s The Great Mutant Massacre nonetheless planted the seed. Perhaps it even laid the foundation for Claremont’s development of widespread societal hatred of mutants in his stories. Would we have Days of Future Past without Kirby’s oft-forgotten Captain America Annual? Pick up a copy and judge for yourself!

Magneto? Hell yes! We shared all of these Fatal Attractions holograms before, but this dang phone/camera hybrid of 21st-century technology brought out some awesome greens and reds in low lighting.

Today we’ll look at the scene where Magneto finally got so fed-up with our favorite shaggy-haired mutant that he ripped all the adamantium out of Wolverine’s body. Damn, that had to hurt!

We’ve shared some scenes where Wolverine got his adamantium skeleton. If you want to see the cover, see our complete Fatal Attractions hologram wraparound covers for this whole series. Enjoy!

These Images are Inappropriate for the School!

Get a load of the stodgy old professor scolding one of his misbehaving students. These images are so inappropriate for the school that I will have to paint one for my pad. Just wait until Prof finds out who is really under that helmet.

Magneto’s had a lot of interpretations by different authors over the years. To some writers, he is a victim of the Nazi death camps of the 1940s. In these stories he is painted more sympathetically, as a man who has been at the bad end of racial hate, defending his newly emerging species from that same hate. I like that Magneto, even if his arrogance always trips him up.

Other times, he’s just a kill-crazy power-tripping egomaniacal jackass. That’s how Grant Morrison portrays him in New X-Men anyway.

Sauron has been bugging the X-Men for longer than some of us have been alive. Here are some scenes from when they first met, long ago, at the hands of creative team Roy Thomas and Neal Adams.

Also guest starring in this magnum opus, Magneto and his strange “little friend” Amphibus the frog freak! Whatever that guy’s power is, we don’t want to know!
