With the next event about to take place in the X-Universe, Marvel has released an image that brings about the question of leadership over the X-Men.

Cyclops. Poor trick/whatever

Excuse me. Excuse me. Why is Magneto in this picture?
 
One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong.
 
It's weird, but granted--there's a few months before this takes place--but what in God's name could Magneto do that would ever prompt the X-Men as a whole to willingly follow him?

haha i posted this image two minutes before you did gman. stole my thunder...

Magneto's face looks all scrunched up. Like his helmet is a size too small.
 
I like having Scott and Emma sharing the leadership role.

Hopefully it'll still be Scott with Emma at his side after this is all said and done. 
Maybe Cyclops will be a casualty in Second Coming and Emma will take up the lead..

KITTY PRYDE!!

If Emma Frost wins, everything would be great in my world.
 
And pleas, get rid of Scott. I hate him so much. The more I see him the more angry I get. I've even started to like Magneto.
 
PS. Emma for Queen of Mutants (Officially)!!!
 
PPS. OMG, Yost and Kyle are writing it. How come I didn't know that?

Watch it be Wolverine or Deadpool. Go on, Marvel. Make your move.
 
Honestly, though, it could be interesting if another of the original X-Men had to take over. Beast and Angel are both capable. 
 
My never-gonna-happen vote goes to Mimic. I'd like him to make a permanent return. He has the powers of the original X-Men and was the first addition to the roster after the first issue. He joined the Dark X-Men team and has a great deal of untapped potential as a character in the main continuity. His Exiles counterpart was pretty popular.

perhaps his uncanny ability to lead? then again a major setback (which is also a boon) is his age...could be ppl won't take his judgement seriously over what he's done in years, and others might think that since he's got more experience than scott in the gig he's the ideal replacement. "

" KITTY PRYDE!! "

in terms of writing Scott's leadership has been a huge success. story-wise scott has no direction and no plan and Emma has brought that to his attention more than once. Magneto is a visionary and has claimed X-Nation as the fruition of his dream of segregation.
 
@iLLituracy:
Magneto has led the team and run the school for a time. despite writers who like to make him out to be a psychopath, he's supposed to just be an extremist. He poses no danger to his own people and his leadership legacy is second only to Xavier, except... he doesn't necessarily lie about everything and mind control people. he's a very viable candidate for leadership. some might say he's the best candidate.
 
also, he's the one who stopped House of M. 
they couldn't beat him. they had to show him the truth and he killed Quicksilver for starting the whole thing.

I'm well aware that he's led them before, but just look at the terms in which he stopped leading them during his time in the Savage Land when he killed Polaris's supposed sister because he personally felt he couldn't uphold Xavier's dream.  He may not pose a threat to the X-Men or Mutants, but that's not when the X-Men are about, anyway. Just because he doesn't pose a threat to his own kind doesn't mean he doesn't pose a threat to humankind or any other species that Magneto has tried to assert control over as a terrorist. Granted, he's probably adopted Xavier's cause, but it's still too soon and he hasn't really done anything to prove his loyalty thus far. "

Mr. Clops.

Wolverine Definatly But if not id choose magnito!!!!! who wouldnt pick wolvie Plus Magneto is an awsome leader I think there both great leaders and are suited for this job!!!!(vote For  wolverine & magneto for leadership of x-men)!!!!!!!!!!

One will Wield... And One will Fall!

i think likely that "test" involves Scott having to trust, even the untrustworthy
by allowing both
Emma and Magneto a little more rope to play with.
 
@iLLituracy:
correct me if im wrong, but wasnt that a robot that looked like Magneto that attacked
the X-Men in San Fran? im pretty sure Magneto was having his powers reinstated
by the High Evolutionary during that time and his arrival on Utopia is the first time
we've seen him engage the X-Men since he was powerlessly seen helping Xavier
after he was shot in the head by Bishop. and the villain in HoM they were trying to take
down was Scarlet Witch, her actions manipulated by Quicksilver. Magneto has been
fairly on the tame side for years now outside his old self. I doubt he is going to become leader,
but probably be given some form of democratic power there, especially when one takes into account
a large part of Utopia's population are enemies of the X-men by nature and characters who will
usually follow Magneto's brass, most of the same who have been causing alot of unrest on
the island ( one which Magneto is more familiar with the workings of than anyone else around)
but top dog no, Magneto so much as swore his allegiance to Scott there, and Magnetos word is usually
his bond.

Actually, Utopia is exactly the kind of thing Magneto wants and would protect. Utopia isnt about humans and mutants living together and also coexistence with humanity is Scott's last concern right now. Scott has X-force and every other mutant team trying to save mutants (and bring them to utopia is possible) and "eliminate" enemies of mutant kind. He's not good at it. i doubt very much that Magneto has "adopted" Xaviers cause. Magneto is interested in the protection and preservation of the mutants still alive where ever they are. that's what Utopia is about. Magneto was ruler of Genosia, which was a gaia like Wakanda until the Cassandra Nova destroyed it, and he can lead Utopia... until something destroys it. "

Magneto deserves it

" Emma Frost, obviously.   ;) "

oh, and if i could pick...none of the above. id pick...
 

" @AngelFrost said:

" Emma Frost, obviously.   ;) "

LOL you and i tend to think alike alot :P  Well my vote goes to Emma since:  1. Who in the hell on the x-men would listen to Magneto for leadership?  2. I'm not even sure why they would make this poster, if cyclops would end up leading (which he already is...) "

Haha, We totally do!   And we must have the same reasons too, because I was thinking the same. :D   & plus, Scotts been the leader for a while, so I think Emma will want to be in-charge and if she isn't .... she'll probably make herself in-charge. "

Cyke runs dis. All other's need not apply. Come on Marvel, don't f### up the one thing ur doing that doesn't piss me off. Please??

I'm crossing my fingers for the dark horse candidate Jamie Madrox.

" @Charmix: Yes ^_^ and btw it's kinda like the real world :D but Jersey Shore inspired me lol 

My guess is Deadpool

I saw that last night -_____- the two guys had a fight because one of them push that mexican xD "

" @iLLituracy: 
eh, just checked 500 out. your right on the suit, i own that, though it all seemed a distraction so HE could get what he
needed from the Celestial. as for HoM, they attacked Magneto as if they believed he was responsible, only to discover 
Quicksilver was the one who had intentionally caused it all (and would do more damage soon).  hence why they didnt
finish him off. prior to HoM Magneto had been working closely with Xavier, and even several other heroes. im still on the side that things have changed and the Fatal Attractions days are past.
 
as far as he is always EVIL...um, Emma Frost, again, a large portion of the islands population, especially Marauders and Acolytes alike,
Namor, hell, for my mind Xavier actually might have more to atone for at this rate. so thats sort of moot. i see what they may be advertising as a co-leader/head master situation, made strong by the mention of Scott being tested here. possibly like when Cyclops led the blue and Storm the Gold with Charles in charge (i went there, i am Santo), but with Cyclops in Xaviers position, and Magneto and Emma 
over seeing quite a bit. Magneto has already aided in keeping the island from sinking at this point, and hasnt actually attacked nor
intended to, as some of the betters on the islsnd pointed out. 
 
--
have to point out theres a miswording here that people arent taking into account
 
"...lead the X-Men "
 
nuh-uh, wrong
 
" ...lead whats left of the entire mutant race. "  Magneto is needed here. most people are not accounting for the portion of the mutant race that does not follow nor even like, and even outright despises the X-Men that are on this island. they need a voice of reason that theyll listen too. Magneto is very essential to the infrastructure, and while he shouldnt be President, he really does need some power here to help Cyclops mandate order, especially amongst those who wont listen to an X-Man.
