Long before X-Men: First Class came out (and before some of the actors were born, just to make me feel old), Classic X-Men was reprinting old X-Men comics with an extra story at the back. There were two about Magneto - "Fire in the Night" which has been posted here before, and this one, "I, Magneto".

I, Magneto!
Apr. 16th, 2010 08:55 pmI think this was posted in the original Scans Daily. I could be wrong. Regardless short sad little story featuring Magneto.

Proteus vs. Wolverine: Shreds of Humanity
Jun. 19th, 2009 01:45 amGreetings True Believers! I'm here again. This is the back-up story from Classic X-Men #32. It's called "Shreds of Humanity" and it stars Proteus, Wolverine and Nightcrawler. But it's really about Wolverine. I was going to post it for the OPM week but Photobucket scanblocked me. This story is so bad-ass so I'm going to post it anyway.
The tale is set during the X-Men's epic battle with the mutant villain Proteus. (One the defining moments of Marvel's merry Mutants, as one of their main purposes is to not only protect mutants from the rest of humanity but to protect the human race against out-of-control mutants.) This story is also prime Wolverine. Before he was overexposed, on million teams and suffed from the "god" syndrome. (Like Batgod, Wolviegod, Supergod.) He was one of the strongest characters of the X-Men's second generation. He was a grown man, bitter and jaded. He had no past and did not fully embrace the X-Men's peaceful philosophy. He loved Jean and his "rival" relationship with Scott gave us one of comicdom's truly great love triangles. He was a gruff older brother to Nightcrawler and Colossus. A threat to members like Iceman and Angel, a fellow rogue to members like Banshee and Thunderbird. Wolvie in his prime was a lot of different things but he was always pure bad-ass, which this post shows. Enjoy!
