“A Tale of Two Mutants”

In "A Tale of Two Mutants," the X-Men rush to save a nursery of infants trapped in a burning hospital, facing not just flames but a chilling moral test from Magneto. As he challenges an ordinary human to prove humanity's worth, the line between protector and destroyer blurs in a story that redefines what it means to fight for survival. Written by Joe Kelly and brought to life by Alan Davis, with inks by Mark Farmer and cover art by Davis and Farmer, this 1999 issue captures the franchise at its most human.
