** The cover to ''Wolverine'' (vol. 2) #75 features a recreation to the adamantium being ripped from Logan's body -- only one: it was presented as solid spikes intend of the liquefied form that was actually done and two: the event in question was already done in ''X-Men'' (vol. 2) #25 with the ''Wolverine'' issue being about the X-Men getting Logan back to the mansion for medical treatment, his near-death experience as a result of his injuries, and his discovery that he still has his claws as they were actually a natural part of his mutation and skeleton all along (not the result of the adamantium bonding process like he originally thought).

The six-part series, that ran through ''ComicBook/XFactor'', ''ComicBook/XForce'', ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'', ''X-Men'' (vol 2), ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'' and ''ComicBook/{{Excalibur}}'' effectively changed the landscape for the franchise for a good decade, between Colossus' FaceHeelTurn, Wolverine's loss of his adamantium, the constant flip-flopping of Magneto following this event and setting the stage for the sequel story ''ComicBook/BloodTiesMarvelComics'' and later on down the line ''ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}''.

''Fatal Attractions'' is the ''Franchise/XMen'' BatFamilyCrossover released in 1993. It was set up as the MilestoneCelebration for the franchise's 30th Anniversary series.

* CharacterRerailment: Essentially, the entire point of the ''Fatal Attractions'' story was to restore Magneto to his role as the BigBad of the X-men after his period as a good guy. It does a fairly decent job of it as his motives to create a separatist nation in space are not too far from his previous actions.

* TheDragon: Exodus, to Magneto.

* CoversAlwaysLie: If you were going by the [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/08/b8/c608b8b8d9b4dbd4d191368813599616.jpg card art promoting]] ''[[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/08/b8/c608b8b8d9b4dbd4d191368813599616.jpg Attractions]]'', you'd think the climax of the story featured an epic battle of the X-Men and X-Force versus Magneto, Exodus, and Colossus. Not so, as Exodus fights X-Force prior to the climax and is teleported off Avalon to prevent his interference, the X-Men travel alone to the space station leaving X-Force behind, and Colossus does not participate in the battle at all. Cool art, though.

* WhamShot: Both the panel of Wolverine's adamantium being ripped out and the panel of a horribly pained Wolverine roaring out in horror as bone claws are unseathed, chunks of meat surrounding him.

* DeliberateInjuryGambit: Cable appears to be performing one against Magneto, unlike Wolverine despite having a metal handicap he has more powers and means of fighting Magneto, but instead deliberately allows Magneto to mutilate Cable in front of his students, in order to firmly turn them against him by letting them see his true sadistic colors after Magneto wanted to recruit them to his cause. Magneto himself highlights this after the fact and admits Cable outplayed him.

* ManOfKryptonite: Magneto's powers make him these to both Cable and Wolverine, and indeed he utterly ''[[CurbStompBattle destroys]]'' both characters in his respective fights with them. The lengths to which he went to defeat Wolverine in particular are what this story is best remembered for. Though in Cable's case, Cable seems to be holding back against Magneto, having more options and powers to fight him with than Wolverine, and seems to have been performing a gambit to show his students Magneto's true, ruthless, violent colors and turn them against him, with Magneto himself admitting afterwards he had been outplayed by Cable in this regard.

ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, thought dead after his Asteroid M spacebase fell to Earth, has returned, joined by a new team of [[Characters/XMenAcolytes Acolytes]], backed by the mysterious mutant Exodus, and having taken residence in Avalon, formerly ComicBook/{{Cable}}'s spacebase Greymalkin. Once more seeking to unite mutantkind as a group under his guidance, he comes to approach his old foes the X-Men during a troubling time. However, his actions resonate with one of the X-Men and when Magneto seeks to strike out on the Earth, the X-Men's counterattack would greatly change all of them forever.

Has nothing to do with [[Series/FatalAttractions the Animal Planet documentary]] nor [[Film/FatalAttraction the almost similar thriller film]].
