In which Magneto is a drama llama in any universe (but a remarkably decent parent in at least one); the soap opera hits the Age of Apocalypse; Weapon X is a man made of red flags; Gambit has an OT3; the better man wins; some blanks are better left unfilled; and we would probably not fare too well on Earth-295.

X-PLAINED:

• The other Magnus
• Synchronicity
• Earth-295 (more) (again)
• X-Men Chronicles #1-2
• Selective backstory
• Magneto’s hair
• Wundagore Mountain
• Aesthetics of the Age of Apocalypse
• The X-Men of Earth-295
• Magneto’s pedagogy
• More miscellaneous horsemen
• Weapon X (Logan)
• Cape Citadel, revisited
• The death of the Scarlet Witch
• Disaster Bisexual Gambit
• Wolverine (but not that one)
• Punks who may or may not also be scrimshanders
• Emotionally well-adjusted Quicksilver
• Further miracles of magnetism
• The narrative power of evocation
• Age of Somebody Else
• Jay and Miles of Earth-295
