Brotherhood of Mutants

The Brotherhood of Mutants (originally known as the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants) is a fictional group of mutants appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The Brotherhood are among the chief adversaries of the X-Men. While the group's roster and ideology have varied from incarnation to incarnation, most versions of the Brotherhood are generally founded and led by the mutant Magneto as a super villain team or mutant supremacy organization that uses extreme methods to fight human prejudice.

See: List of Brotherhood of Mutants members

Unlike the X-Men, who believe that humans and mutants can coexist peacefully, the Brotherhood generally views humanity as an inferior close-minded species that will never accept mutants out of fear of their powers. Among the Mutants who are frequently depicted as members of the Brotherhood are Mystique, Toad, Blob, Pyro, Mastermind, Avalanche, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch.

The original Brotherhood was depicted as Magneto's primary allies in his early battles with the X-Men in comics published in the 1960s.[2] The original Brotherhood was ultimately disbanded, with Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch going on to become members of the Avengers. In 1981, the Brotherhood of Mutants was revived under the leadership of Mystique, while the group's most visible incarnation during the early 1990s was led by Toad.

The Brotherhood of Mutants has also appeared on several animated series featuring the X-Men and has been Magneto’s group in the X-Men film series.

Publication history

edit

The original Brotherhood of Mutants was created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby and first appeared in X-Men #4 (March 1964).[3]

Ideology

edit

While later incarnations of the Brotherhood promoted the group's existence as a political and ideological rival to Professor Charles Xavier's dream of peace with humans, the group was originally conceived as simply a small, but powerful army of minions gathered by Magneto to aid in his schemes for world domination. But since the group's second incarnation, the group has become a much more politically motivated group designed for use of violence to provide justice and lead a 'mutant revolution' against mankind.

One of the greater ironies of the group has been its use of "Evil" in its name. When his decision to name the group was brought up in an interview, Stan Lee simply said "We were kind of corny in those days."[4] Since the early 1990s, writers have attempted to explain this away by having Toad describe it as irony, based upon the perceived notion that all mutants are "evil." Later writers have opted instead to simply drop "Evil" from the group's name and refer to the group as "The Brotherhood of Mutants" or simply the Brotherhood. In the alternate continuity of Earth X, Uatu explains that Magneto chose the name so that, as the opposing side, Professor X would be forced to assume the role of "Good," and that Magneto believed that by locking Professor X into absolutes of morality, he could manipulate him.

Many of the group's members have been shown to be past victims of anti-mutant prejudice, which has made the group a haven for many mutants who feel they are outcasts and pariahs. While many of these outcast mutants have willingly embraced the violent aspects of the Brotherhood's ideology, several have ultimately rejected it and left the group because of it. Most notably, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch left the group due to their disillusionment with Magneto's ideology to join the Avengers, a group of heroes dedicated to protecting the world as opposed to ruling it.

Fictional team history

edit

Magneto's Brotherhood

edit

The original leader of the team was Magneto, a mutant with the ability to control magnetic fields. It would later be revealed that Magneto was a Holocaust survivor, explaining his distrust of humanity because of the actions done by the Nazi Party and its inability to accept those who are different. The other members of the original team were Quicksilver, who can move and think at superhuman speeds; his twin sister, the Scarlet Witch, who has the power to affect probability; Toad, a sniveling villain with incredible jumping abilities; and Mastermind, who can create illusions affecting all senses. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch had joined after Magneto saved Scarlet Witch from a mob who believed she was a witch after she accidentally made a house burst into flame. She joined to repay the debt, and Quicksilver joined to keep her safe.[5]

Magneto and Toad are captured by the Stranger, who they initially believe to be a mutant before learning that he is an alien. Mastermind is turned to a block of solid matter by the Stranger. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch leave the team and later join the Avengers. Later, back on Earth, Magneto reorganized the team three times, including such mutants as Blob and Unus the Untouchable, as well as Lorelei, and creating a team that was later alternately called Mutant Force and the Resistants. Following a battle with the Defenders, the members of the Brotherhood are all transformed into infants by Alpha.[6] The babies are brought to Muir Island, where they are placed under the care of Moira MacTaggert. Magneto is later restored to adulthood by Erik the Red and escapes MacTaggert's facility.[7] The other members of the Brotherhood also return to their original ages, but discover that Magneto had abandoned them. Without their leader, the Brotherhood work with Vanisher as part of a plot to get revenge on the X-Men, but are beaten by the Champions. After this defeat, the Brotherhood is disbanded and its remaining members are imprisoned.[8]

Mystique's Brotherhood

edit

Mystique organizes her own Brotherhood of Mutants with Pyro, Blob, Avalanche, Destiny, and Rogue.[9][10] The Brotherhood's members (minus Rogue, who defects to the X-Men) later join the government-sponsored team Freedom Force.[11] As Freedom Force, their membership briefly includes Spiral and Spider-Woman, and later includes Super Sabre, Crimson Commando, and Stonewall. The Brotherhood disbands after Destiny, Super Sabre, and Stonewall are killed in action, Mystique fakes her death, Crimson Commando is crippled, and Blob and Pyro were abandoned on a mission in Iraq.

Toad's Brotherhood

edit

Toad also organizes a Brotherhood of Mutants of his own at one point, including Blob and Pyro; Phantazia, a mutant who can disrupt electronics and superhuman powers; and Sauron. Toad's Brotherhood is concerned mostly with hatching revenge schemes against the X-teams, but has also fought X-Force, X-Factor, Darkhawk, Spider-Man, and Sleepwalker.[12]

Havok's Brotherhood

edit

After being captured and subjected to intensive brainwashing by Dark Beast, Havok forms his own short-lived Brotherhood of Mutants with Dark Beast, Fatale, and, briefly, Aurora, Random, Ever, and X-Man. This incarnation was the first Brotherhood to omit the "Evil" from its name.[13] It is later revealed that Havok formed the team as part of a sting operation to uncover Dark Beast's experimentation; the group falls apart as a result.[14]

Professor X's Brotherhood

edit

The following incarnation includes new members Mimic and Post as well as Blob and Toad. They free Charles Xavier from prison and helped the X-Men against the animated Cerebro, who had created a team of fake X-Men.[15] They later cooperate with Mystique in an attempt to capture Machine Man. The team disbanded shortly afterwards.

During this time period, it was revealed that Astra had been a member of the original Brotherhood, providing Magneto with the technology used to create Asteroid M and locating potential recruits, including Nightcrawler. Though she was in love with Magneto, he did not love her. This rejection led to her quitting the team and served as the motivation behind her creation of Joseph, a clone of Magneto.

Mystique's Second Brotherhood

edit

During the threat of the Legacy Virus, Mystique organized another Brotherhood, drawing members from nearly every incarnation like Avalanche, Blob, Toad, and Post[16] and adding Sabretooth[17] and Martinique Jason to the lineup. A training session also showed a new Super Sabre and Crimson Commando, but they were not included on the mission. This Brotherhood attempts to kill Robert Kelly, but are thwarted by Pyro, who dies shortly afterward from the Legacy Virus.[18]

The Brotherhood

edit

The series The Brotherhood features a large group of mutant terrorists, unrelated to any other version of the Brotherhood. The group was founded by the mutants Hoffman, Orwell and Marshal, but Marshal leaves the group and becomes a government agent. Hoffman hides his identity under the alias "X". Marshal is ordered to take down the Brotherhood, but actually intends to kill Hoffman and become the new "X". This series is cancelled after nine issues, at which point all members had either been killed in the power struggle between Hoffman and Marshal or by X-Force (later renamed X-Statix).[19][20]

Mystique's Third Brotherhood

edit

The next incarnation of the Brotherhood is led by Mystique again and includes Avalanche, Blob, Mastermind, and new member Fever Pitch.[21] This Brotherhood had infiltrated the X-Corps and took over the group, before it is defeated by the X-Men and Mystique is sucked into another dimension by Abyss. Following her being rescued from her former lover's realm, Mystique becomes a reluctant agent of Professor X, doing black ops missions for him.

Xorn's Brotherhood

edit

Another Brotherhood is formed by former X-Man Xorn, who thought he was Magneto. His Brotherhood were his former students Beak, Angel Salvadore, Martha Johansson, Basilisk, Ernst, Esme Cuckoo, and Toad.[22] Most of the members rebel against Xorn after he accidentally kills Basilisk and his insanity becomes too obvious to ignore.

Exodus' Brotherhood

edit

In the "Heroes and Villains" arc that concluded Chuck Austen's run on X-Men, a new version of the Brotherhood is introduced. The team was led by Exodus, who had once been Magneto's herald, and includes Avalanche, Sabretooth (who had simply been hired by Exodus), and new members Black Tom Cassidy, Mammomax, Nocturne (who was revealed to be spying on the team), and Juggernaut (who was later revealed to be a mole).[23] After Black Tom kills Juggernaut's friend Squid-Boy, Juggernaut lashes out and tries to destroy the Brotherhood. After knocking Juggernaut and several other Brotherhood members unconscious, Exodus leads his team to the Xavier Institute to claim revenge for the apparent death of Magneto. The entire team is defeated by Xorn, who sucks them into the "black hole" within his head. The Brotherhood sells Nocturne and Juggernaut to Mojo to escape.[24]

Sunspot's Brotherhood

edit

In Young X-Men, Donald Pierce, in disguise as Cyclops, deceives several X-Men in training into attacking what he dubs a new incarnation of the Brotherhood, which consists of Cannonball, Danielle Moonstar and Magma, all under the leadership of Sunspot.[25] However, this was just a manipulative ruse, and these four New Mutants were neither a team at the time nor conducting villainous activity.

Red Queen's Sisterhood

edit

An all-female incarnation called the Sisterhood was formed by the "Red Queen"—revealed to be Madelyne Pryor—who recruited Martinique Jason,[26] Lady Mastermind, Chimera,[27] Spiral, and Lady Deathstrike.[28] The Sisterhood captures and brainwashes Psylocke, making her a member as well.[29][30] The Red Queen is later lured into a trap set by Cyclops and defeated. Psylocke breaks free from her brainwashing and rejoins the X-Men, while the other Sisterhood members escape.[31]

Joseph's Brotherhood

edit

In the miniseries "Magneto: Not a Hero", Joseph is resurrected under unknown circumstances and forms a new Brotherhood of Mutants with Astra and deformed clones of Blob, Mastermind, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Toad. All the clones are later killed by Magneto. Joseph is defeated by Magneto and remanded to Utopia's X-Brig.[32]

Daken's Brotherhood

edit

In Uncanny X-Force, Daken forms a new Brotherhood of Mutants with Mystique, Sabretooth, Shadow King, Blob of the "Age of Apocalypse" universe, Skinless Man, and the Omega Clan, with the apparent goal of exacting revenge on X-Force. The group was seen recruiting Genesis as their next member, in order to turn him into the new Apocalypse.[33]

Mystique's Fourth Brotherhood

edit

Mystique has since gathered a new Brotherhood which consists of herself, Sabretooth, Blob, Silver Samurai, and Lady Mastermind.[34] By using Lady Mastermind's illusions, they commit numerous heists to incriminate the original X-Men,[35] who had been brought through time to the present by Beast.[36]

With the money the Brotherhood of Mutants robbed in the heists, Mystique acquires Madripoor from Hydra and attempted to turn it into a mutant sanctuary. Posing as Dazzler, Mystique attracts Magneto to the island and shows him her plans. However, Magneto reacts violently to the plan, believing that Mystique and the others are traitors to their species in part due to allowing the use of Mutant Growth Hormone to run rampant in the streets to fund their operations. He injures Mystique and the Brotherhood and leaves after making their base collapse.[37]

Lady Deathstrike's Sisterhood

edit

Inspired by Madelyne Pryor's attempt of defeating the X-Men, Lady Deathstrike recruits Typhoid Mary, Enchantress, and Selene and assembles a new Sisterhood to take down the X-Men, as well as helping each one of them to achieve their individual goals.[38][39] After Lady Deathstrike's host, Ana Cortes, has a change of heart about being a supervillain and serving Arkea, she contacts the X-Men and informs them of the Sisterhood's location before killing herself. Arkea transfers Lady Deathstrike's consciousness in the same body Arkea used for a host, Reiko. The X-Men assault the Sisterhood's hideout, with Karima Shapandar killing Arkea.[40]

Mesmero's Brotherhood

edit

Following the war with the Inhumans and the destruction of the remaining Terrigen Mist cloud, a new group claiming to be the new Brotherhood of Mutants appears, consisting of a new Avalanche, a new Pyro, Masque, Magma, and Kologoth.[41] They are led by Mesmero and secretly funded by anti-mutant activist Lydia Nance.[42] The X-Men later discover that Mesmero had used his powers to brainwash the members of his Brotherhood to join the team and force them to carry out attacks. Once Mesmero's control is broken, the Brotherhood is dissolved and Mesmero arrested.[43]

Mesmero escapes prison and persuades Pyro and Avalanche to help him get revenge on Lydia Nance.[44] After the fight with the X-Men and the NYPD, the Brotherhood of Mutants retreat to their hideout, where Mesmero reveals that they are still under Nance's paycheck. Nance had facilitated their escape from prison and that she still has plans for the Brotherhood of Mutants. Pyro abandons Nance, no longer wanting to work with her.[45]

Magneto's Second Brotherhood

edit

When Magneto travels 20 years into the future to escape an attack, he finds a city in ruins filled with statues of himself. He is greeted by mutants who see him as a savior as well as the time-displaced X-Men, who say that Magneto is beyond redemption and that they should have stopped him when they had the chance.[46] When Magneto returns to his own time, he reassembles the Brotherhood of Mutants with Briar Raleigh, Toad, Exodus, Unuscione, Marrow, and Elixir.[47] Soon afterward, Magneto is captured and made into one of Nate Grey's Horsemen of Salvation.

Joseph's Second Brotherhood

edit

Taking the opportunity of Magneto's disappearance, Joseph disguises himself as Magneto and appears to disband the former Brotherhood, only to sway Avalanche, Juggernaut, Pyro, Random, and Toad to form a new Brotherhood in the wake of the death of the X-Men. The Brotherhood went to an Air Force base in Transia to put the fear in humans, but were confronted by a new group of X-Men led by a resurrected Cyclops. After the battle, Joseph's identity is revealed as the real Master of Magnetism was actually kidnapped by Nate Grey and mind-controlled to become one of his Horsemen of Salvation.[48]

Brotherhood of Arakko

edit

After the mutant nation of Arakko is relocated to Mars, Storm claims a seat on the Great Ring of Arakko. While Storm attempts to navigate the politics of the Arakki, she finds herself at odds with Abigail Brand and S.W.O.R.D.'s plans for the planet. When Brand proposes an X-Men team as a controlling influence for the Arakki, Storm declines her offer and forms the Brotherhood of Arakko with Magneto, Sunspot, and Fisher King.[49]

Genesis' Brotherhood

edit

After Storm brings an end to the bloody "Genesis War" by destroying the staff that has kept Genesis trapped beneath Annihilation's whispering and corruption as punishment for the civil war, Arakko's Great Ring chooses to exile Genesis. But even in exile, Genesis is hardly ready to give up on battle. She announces her new Brotherhood, along with her children, War and Famine. The three of them prepare to face Orchis together.
