I feel like Xorneto (Magneto as Xorn) was this seriously bad@ss character who did insanely bad@ss things. He killed tonsss of civilians, he killed Jean Grey, he re-crippled Xavier, there was the whole Kick frenzy, etc. There are tons of things. I feel like Marvel got scared, that they couldn't do what they wanted with Magneto when he had all these things tied to him, so they pansied out and retconned the entire Xorneto "incident". 

HELL YEAH! DAMN WEAK, MARVEL EDITORIAL STAFF!

RAGE HIGH FIVE

Morph is your go to guy for this.

they pansie out a lot due to fan criticism on alot of things, and i'll say yes to this.
even if things aren't going over well i would rather a comic company see it through
then sweep it under the rug.

In fairness, this was DC's GL: Rebirth. Fans bitched, so the company yielded and changed everything.

While I agree that Marvel did wimp out of the dramatic death of Magneto, this is a surprising rant for 2010... when this happened what?  8 or 9 years ago??

To be honest, I'm surprised that more things didn't revert to the way they were pre-Grant Morrison.  The costumes & the over-all darker tone of the X-Titles quickly disappeared... but Jean has stayed dead, Beast has stayed Cat-like, Cyclops & Frost have stayed a couple, etc.  So considering how those things stayed the status quo then it is surprising that they retconned Magneto back into Xorn.

" Seriously they should of blamed it on a revived and brainwashed Joseph if they wanted to cop out as badly as they did.  The convulted mess they left behind trying to do backflips out of it all made it even worse in the end. "

I just finished re-reading the Planet X arc. How did they retcon it? I'm already pissed off, but I want to know.

Another Xorn appeared named Shen Xorn and says that the one Wolverine killed was his twin brother Kuan-Yin Xorn, who was being controlled by Sublime into thinking that he is Magneto. This was confirmed by Emma Frost when she telepathically read his mind.     

Honestly? No, Marvel pansied out by allowing Morrison so much freedom, in the first place because its Grant Morrison and Grant Morrison draws numbers, and he did and then they tried to seqway what he did back to basics. I liked Xorn, I wished Morrison would have just created him from scratch and then he could have gone on to be his own iconic X-villain.

I know this is rehashing an old post about an older storyline, but I swear I was so hoping that Sentry was going to turn out to be connected to Xorn. I thought the star-for-a-brain was in lines with cyclops, nightcrawler and wolverine (originally) in senses of unique powers and a potential destroyer of worlds but decides to save it instead was amazing. Also he had a unique look and outlook on the world. C'mon, the dude had such a sweet, ambiguous power set. So rare these days. Yay Physics!

ME... Marvel needs to pick things up.

Xorn always should have just been Xorn. The franchise needs new characters, not old characters repackaged.
