Origin
When he formed the Acolytes, Fabian Cortez claimed that they were a group dedicated to Magneto's dream of a world controlled by mutants. However, Cortex betrayed him for control of the group. Appointing Exodus as leader of the group, Magneto sent the Acolytes to do his dirty work and when the Scarlet Witch used her reality-altering powers against mutant-kind, most of the Acolytes lost their powers.Alternate Realities
Earth-2149
In the Zombieverse, Magneto's Acolytes remained safe from the plague on Asteroid M. They allowed the Black Panther to come and heal on the astroid, and allowed him to bring the zombie head of Wasp with him. When the zombies left earth in search of other planets to eat, the Acolytes returned to earth.
