For those of you who don't know me, my name is Magneto. For those of you who have heard of me, my reputation proceeds me, but is in no way completely accurate.

I have been quiet because I have been securing a remote location wherein we can properly meet and discuss our goals. A new age is beginning, and we Brotherhood of Mutants will show this world why we aren't to be ignored.

I guess I can't mope around forever. I should find myself a job or something. Maybe put my degree to good use finally.

I am back on the school grounds and available for any students who might want to discuss the attack at the mall or any other issues leading up to the new school year. Additionally and with the departure of Miss Frost I'll be teaching my own leadership class this semester for anyone interested.

Due to a relative lack of interest by students (thank you to all the faculty that offered to assist and otherwise contribute) I am going to forgo the camping trip and may offer up something later in the fall or winter.

If anyone needs me in the mean time I will be dividing my time between the garage and the Danger Room.

I'M BACK!

Where's the brass band and balloons?!

Okay, check it. Whoever wants to drink, and karaoke or just watch me make a fool of myself then swing on over to Sing Sing Karaoke. The one at St. Marks Place. Rogue and myself will be there at 9. You can arrive early, on time, or late. I don't care! Come out and have some fun!

You ever feel like you're at the awkward age where you're not too old, but not too young either? Inquiring minds want to know.

The amount of activity around the school lately is both exciting and worrying. I'm glad to see so many guests, but at the same time, there are so many guests.

[Deadpool]
I think that you and I should have a chat.

Riddle me this. What's big, green, veiny, and angry?

[muffled sounds of sloshing liquid] --you mean you don't serve wine by the barrel? I was told Mr. Waldorf Astoria ran the finest inn in Manhattan!

Sir, please keep your voice down. We've already made several allowances...

As well you should! Why should a man be forced to wear shirt or pants in such weather? A humble loincloth is all I recquire. Modesty is for priests and blushing brides. I even agreed to take my meal here rather than in your dining hall. Do you recquire another display of strength-

No! No, no, no, no. [nervous laughter] We don't need any more incidents. The Duke didn't appreciate being juggled, Mr Thor-

Hercules!

Mr. Hercules! Yes, I'm sorry. Now I'll see about getting you more wine.

Good man. And you shall be richly rewarded in Olympian silver. [sound of door closing in distance] Ah, lady Siri, tis time I made my presence known. Record my words.

I'm sorry, you're already recording a message.

Indeed? No need for apologies good lady, you are a faithful scribe. I speak now to the Forum of the Mighty, that I have found upon the Worldnet. You who wield skill and power beyond your ken. I would break words with thee. You have fought many great foes in recent years, and meddled with forces beyond your understanding- and in so doing, have drawn the attention of your betters. The Pantheons of every culture have watched the rise of Mutantfolk, the creation of machine life in your own image, the use of the Infinity Stones, and have deemed that you recquire guidance, lest your follies turn this world to ash. And so Zeus, Panhellenos to Olympus, has sent his son amongst you.

Hercules, God of Heroes, shall test your mettle and see whether there are those who deserve the title among you. I shall remind you that your actions do not go unnoticed, and that there are forces beyond Asgard and the few aliens you've seen that you contend with in this new Age. You stir the interest of cosmic forces of great power and wrath, and will need you strength in the days to come. Or at least that's what he tells me. But fear not, for the Prince of Power shall lend his strength to your protection! Rejoice, for the greatest Hero of antiquity is amongst you once more. He who slew the Hydra, adventured with Jason and the Argonauts, and who bested that blonde shit Thor at both wrestling AND drinking. Wine will flow, blood will be spilled, and the company of questionable women shall be enjoyed by all!

Right. So I missed a lot. Haven't decided if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
