Bio: Stumbling upon the wreckage of a long-abandoned Deviant city, Magneto found experimental evolutionary mutation and technology placed there by the half-Inhuman and half-Deviant Maelstorm. Magneto used these technologies to create his own "ultimate mutant".
After Alpha was succesfully created, Magneto launched an attack which was answered by Professor X and the Defenders. However, these heroes were in turn opposed by Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
