X-MEN | Blog | Magneto's Lair
Words by Ian McKellen
I have had many requests to confide my thoughts on Magneto. Most of these beg me to guard the serious philosophy that separates him from Xavier. Their argument is familiar to anyone who is interested in politics. Should the great gifts of the X-Men be harnessed for the good of society or - Magneto's view - should they be used to govern? Ian McKellen, August 1999
[Webmaster's Note: Although the term "blog" was not widely used until much later, Magneto's Lair was effectively one of the earliest blogs on the Internet. It was originally published in reverse chronological order, much like modern blogs. The entries were rearranged into chronological order in 2013.]
