HOW DID TWO OF MUTANTKIND'S MOST DANGEROUS VILLAINS BECOME PART OF CYCLOPS' X-MEN? When they met across the battlefield, Henry McCoy and Max Eisenhardt were a brilliant, jovial athlete turned super hero and a mutant revolutionary, respectively. By the time they ruled the world as leaders of Krakoa, Hank was a Beast in deed as well as name, while Magneto was a longtime ally of the X-Men shocked by the inadequacy of his fulfilled dream. Cast back into a world that hates and fears them, a pair of chance encounters will show each why that world still needs them and the X-Men!
