Magneto • Erik Magnus Lehnsherr
- Jean Grey: How much do you love Charles Xavier?
- Magneto: How dare you ask me such a question? He was my only equal. I owe him my life!
- Jean Grey: What would you do if you knew you were the only one on Earth who could save his life?
- Magneto: Do not play games with me!
- Jean Grey: Listen to me. A telepathic message to Lilandra is Xavier's only hope. You may be able to supercharge his mind just like you did mine. His brainwaves are electromagnetic.
- Magneto: You lie to torture me. My legions await my command, pledging body and soul to me. With a single word I can remake the world. I can not leave!
- Cyclops: You know what you should do.
- Magneto: [torn] Why now? My greatest enemy, and perhaps my only friend... but I have waited all my life for this moment!
- Cyclops: Wouldn't he do it for you?
- Professor X: Hello, Magnus. Surely you have more impressing business than nursing an old friend.
- Magneto: Nothing more important.
- Professor X: Thank you. It seems I have quite an audience. Thank you all. I'm grateful to have the chance, to say goodbye.
- Magneto: Friends, our moment in history has arrived. We all have felt the sting of human hatred, seen the disgust smolder in their eyes, we have grubbled and hidden like beaten animals anxious for a crumb from a master. We have lived too long in darkness and fear. No more! Nature has made us superior. We are the living future of this mighty planet. This world is our world now! Take it!
- Cyclops: Xavier wouldn't strike first! He didn't give his life so you could destroy everything he held sacred!
- Magneto: What do you mean?
- Cyclops: Xavier's dying.
- Magneto: But I saw his televised message?
- Cyclops: That was Morph. Xavier has only hours left to live.
- Magneto: Xavier, dying... a sad ending to a great life.
