** Whenever the League faces the Injustice League or the Legion of Doom, chances are Lex Luthor is the head honcho, to mirror Superman as the leader of the League. This happens twice during ''ComicBook/JLA1997'': Luthor appears the leader of the Injustice Gang during ''[[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmericaRockOfAges Rock of Ages]]'' (issues #10-15), reuniting the JLA's nemeses (Circe, Dr. Light, Ocean Master, Joker and Mirror Master), at the end of which he is defeated, but escapes justice. Later, he returns as the leader of a second incarnation of the Injustice Gang during ''World War III'' (issues #34, #36-41), this time alongside Prometheus, Queen Bee, and American Gal. Wade Eiling.

*** Then, he was supposed to die for good in 1991, in Chris Claremont's (then) last arc for the X-titles, when Asteroid M crashes on Earth. However, he resurfaces in the 1993 crossover ''Fatal Atractions'', where he suffers a mindwipe by his friend/enemy Professor X and becomes catatonic. For the most of the '90s X-titles, Magnus is down for the count as far as X-Big Bads go. A RedHerring appears in 1996, with Joseph, at first thought to be a younger version of Magnus, [[spoiler:but later revealed to be a clone]], but he only reappears with a bang with 1998's crossover ''Magneto War''. In the meantime, the X-titles contend with the alien Phalanx (in 1994's ''Phalanx Covenant''), Apocalypse (in 1995's ''Age of Apocalypse''), Onslaught (in 1996) and Bastion/Operation: Zero Tolerance (in 1997).
