In "Magneto Triumphant!", the master of magnetism turns the tables on the X-Men, capturing them and imprisoning them in a high-tech lair beneath an active volcano. With a chilling display of power, Magneto disables his foes, binding them to special chairs that silence them and force them to rely on a cold, mechanical caretaker. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life with dynamic art by John Byrne and Kieron Dwyer, this pivotal issue sees Magneto’s vengeance take a terrifyingly personal turn. The cover, by Arthur Adams with inks by Terry Austin, captures the moment of his chilling victory.

Stripped of their powers and speech, bound in special chairs, and forced to endure the cold precision of a robotic nanny, they face a chilling test of will—while Magneto, now fully in command, exacts his revenge for being reduced to a child.
