Who is Joseph?

A mysterious amnesiac who appeared in the mid-1990s bearing a striking resemblance to Magneto, Joseph was discovered with no memory of his past and taken in by the X-Men, who sought to uncover the truth behind his uncanny connection to the Master of Magnetism.

Mysterious and magnetically compelling, Joseph made his Marvel debut in The Uncanny X-Men #327 in 1995, stepping onto the page during one of the most turbulent and ambitious chapters in X-Men history. Created by Scott Lobdell and Roger Cruz, this Copper/Modern Age figure has proven surprisingly durable — his story threading through The Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, and beyond across more than three decades, with three key-issue appearances that signal real collector significance. He keeps extraordinary company, sharing adventures with the likes of Rogue, Wolverine, and Storm, and his remarkable range of affiliations — the X-Men, the Acolytes, and even the Skrulls — hints at a character whose loyalties and identity have never been simple. With 43 catalog appearances and a publishing history stretching to 2026, Joseph rewards the curious reader willing to dig into one of Marvel's more intriguingly layered figures.
