  • Fan Nickname: The name some have given the run is HiX-Men.
  • Memetic Badass: X-Men #11 seems devoted entirely to enforcing Magneto's status as this In-Universe. Exodus gathers a group of mutant children around the campfire to retell Magneto's defense of Krakoa from invading Cotati. What follows are scenes of Magneto donning his classic purple and red uniform, launching shrapnel and metal orbs through Cotati like they were paper, ordering Magma to erupt a volcano, having Iceman freeze the molten iron and turning it into razor-sharp spikes to devastate the remaining Cotati and finishing the fight off by standing face-to-face with the Cotati leader, who clearly believes they are set to have a mano-a-mano clash. Magnus simply drops three satellites from orbit on top of his head in hilarious succession, before strolling away and telling Sage to cover the bill. The creative team seems to be using the issue to say, "When we said he's an omega mutant we meant it." Ironically, he is still far less impressive than how he was in 90s.
