Maybe Xorn will be revealed to be the name for Magnetobots that Magneto created to cover all his bad showings....

FFS........... what is the point of having a character that can do whatever they want? i know everyone say's DC overpowers their characters........ and they're right........... but the MU has more than enough cosmic level guys flying around and has absolutely no need to create any more........ why is it that any character involved in the X-titles has to achieve uber-power status???????
i'm really getting sick of it 😒
lol. There's a reasonable explanation for it, though. They're saying essentially that Magneto doesn't just control EM energy - to a large extent, he IS EM energy. He just doesn't know it (though he's beginning to discover that). He should have died many, many times, and yet he keeps popping back up, always as good as new. Xavier figured there HAS to be some explanation for it, and then went on to surmise that Magneto can do A LOT more than even he believes he can do. This was around the same time that elsewhere Magneto also came to the conclusion that he can do A LOT more than he believed he can do.
I think that people who complain about all these powerups and how they're unreasonable are missing a very important point. Many mutants are elemental in nature. People like Magneto, Storm, Iceman. They all control forces of nature that really knows no limit. Given that they control aspects of nature, there really ARE no defined properties of their powers. It's limited only to their imagination, intelligence, experience, and the load their bodies can handle. It's natural that as they mature that their knowledge of that fact will increase and their abilities will increase as well. Ditto with psionics, which is also a force of nature in the MU. That's why you see people like Jean getting more powerful, but not people like Cyclops or Kitty Pryde, who have very defined and specific power.
