Magneto in the 90s. He even built an asteroid as a refuge for any mutant.

The older I get, more I agree with Magneto.

More like, the older the character gets, the more they update his backstory to be something the audience can sympathize with. Because a villain for villain's sake gets old fast.

When the Sentinels start rounding up mutants, it is the biggest "I told you so" to Charles.

Super heros are universally reactionary by default. I feel like X-Men is more complex and nuanced, but yeah, magneto is right.

A Bioshock-like game set on Asteroid M would be, if you will excuse the parlance, baller.

You could say it would be out of this world.
