Magnus is the child of the X-Men Magneto and Rogue. His birth was so fraught with complication that it seemed miraculous and such a blessing for the two long-troubled souls that brought him into the world. As he grew, so did his abilities. It was obvious to all that Magnus would become even more adept, more powerful than the master of magnetism who sired him. Unfortunately for all, he adopted a trait not unlike one of his mother's. When his flesh meets another's, they are transformed into pure steel. He grew to be a distant, reclusive man, one who always carries the knowledge that he can kill with just a single touch.

One day, Magnus found himself in the middle of a barren desert alongside five other X-Men from five different realities. They were greeted by the Timebroker, a construct of their collective consciousness, who explained to them that they had all become unhinged from time as a chain of events had caused their realities as they knew it to change. New events in Nocturne's past caused him to accidentally kill his mother a week after his thirteenth birthday by turning her into steel. His father never recovered from the loss and resumed his battle on humanity. In order to return to their correct timelines, they would have to repair other realities that caused the ripple effect that disrupted their reality or they would return to their alternate existences.

On the Exiles' first mission the Tallus instructs Blink to, "find your greatest teacher." The rest of the time decided that the Tallus could only mean their mentor, Professor Charles Xavier. Magnus constructed a make-shift Cerebro and utilized his powers in conjunction with Nocturne's latent and Mimic's residual psychic powers to locate Charles Xavier in a holding facility somewhere in Nevada. // Exiles The Exiles are a group of reality-hopping heroes, created by writer Judd Winick and artist Mike McKone. ...

While the other Exiles distracted the guards, Blink teleported Magnus inside the prison where he used his powers to seemingly melt away Xavier's metal shackles. In a wicked turn of events, this Xavier has been marred by his imprisonment at the hands of the humans and would sooner die than help create a soceity where mutants and humans lived together in harmony. He knocks the Exiles out with a Psi-Blast and leaves them for dead. The Exiles later learned that the great "teacher" that they should have sought was actually Magneto. This causes Magnus to feel ashamed for not considering his father as a viable option. At this point, the Exiles split with half of the team off to find Magneto and the other half left to put a halt to Xavier's mayhem.

Magnus carries Blink and Nocturne to the prison where Magneto is being held. There he intercepts a radio relay that the place is rigged with an atomic bomb. Seeing no other timely resolve, he forces all the captives away to a nearby beach and, using the utmost of his powers to encase the explosion, sacrifices himself so that others may live.
