The story begins with the voice of Stan Lee: "Look around you... you never know who could be a mutant, a person born with strange and wondrous powers..." It is the desert. The X-Men’s archenemy Magneto is being transported by a military convoy, unable to use his powers, trapped in a force field. That is, until the White Queen appears. A member of his "Brotherhood of Mutant Terrorists", she scatters the escort and dismantles the field restricting Magneto, allowing him to use his magnetic powers to tear apart his portable prison.
