It wasn't much of one, just some gratitude over a him saving her and a bit of mutual flirting when they were all alone in the Savage Land. Nothing that would have survived a third party's presence -- or did.

The relationship gets blown out in full in alternate realities often though, notably Age of Apocalypse takes it and gooooooo...

Also EXiles had a Rogue/Magneto offspring, Magnus.

EXiles being made of characters from alternate universes gets a free pass of weird stuff like that. Normal 616 MU not so much.

I lurped Magnus. WHY DID MY RED-SHIRT FAVORITE DIE?!

[joasakura]

:liked Magnus too: I would've liked to have seen more done with him :T

[pyrotwilight]

I hope if they ever resurrect an Exile it's him. Just to see how fans will react if its not Sunfire or Mimic brought back.

Blink: Oh my god Cal it yo-... Magnus?

[joasakura]

\^__^/ that would be such wonderful win.

True, I mean I loved the other two but they got stories out of their membership, Magnus lasted two issues, sigh.

There was a story waaay down the line (I think in an annual or something) that had one of the cosmic types recreate the original team out of different alternates. Magnus and all :)

Oh I remember it, don't worry. But he didn't even get a line of dialogue in in that story. NOT. A. LINE. I was glad to see him remembered even if only for that.

And his parents got his charred body back in 83 or 85 of the series. Poor Magneto and Rogue.
