Magneto's Time as a Leader of the X-Men is Over, Marvel Writer Confirms
The great Master of Magnetism, Marvel Comics once-villain Magneto, is stepping down from the Quiet Council, the ruling body of the X-Men's nation of Krakoa. This was recently confirmed by Keron Gillen, the writer of the upcoming series Immortal X-Men, which spins out of Trial of Magneto and Inferno in the mutants' new «Destiny of X» era. Gillen said that Erik will be leaving behind his history as one of the co-founders of Krakoa after the intense political drama and intrigue that have plagued the Council since its inception.
Jonathan Hickman's 2019 relaunch of theX-Men franchise, which took place in the pages of House of X/Powers of X, established that Moira MacTaggert is an immortal mutant whose death triggers the rebirth of the universe every time she dies, leading Moira to discover that in most timelines the mutants always lose. In her 10th life she decides to do the one thing she has never done before, ally herself with both Xavier and Magneto and tell them about her power and their future decades in advance, allowing them to spend years slowly preparing for the founding of the nation of Krakoa. Since its inception Magneto and Charles have acted as the two heads of state, making unilateral decisions for mutantdom and harboring Moira X's dark secret, at least until the recent Inferno event blew up many of the leaders' secrets and led to Moira X being exiled from the nation.
