Details
The Brotherhood of Mutants are a group gathered by Magneto in order to effect his goal of mutant domination following his schism with Charles Xavier. Scattered during Magneto's imprisonment at the end of X1, they were re-gathered by himself and Mystique after X2, his determination to prevent a mutant apocalypse reinforced by Stryker's plans. Their beliefs have frequently led them into conflict with the X-Men, with Xavier's students holding the upper edge. So far. Most recently (2018), they have been involved in a number of attacks on blood banks and research hospitals following a ban on mutant donations. Strangely, Magneto was not been seen during these attacks, which appeared to be led instead by Mystique.
Then in 2021 the Brotherhood struck again, this time attacking a DARPA research facility. The X-Men were requested to assist by SHIELD as the Avengers were unable to attend. Not only were there several new members of the team, but Magneto himself appeared to have de-aged by several decades, appearing to be a man in his fifties, rather than his actual nineties. The engagement went badly for the X-Men, and Magneto revealed to former member Bevatron just what they had been protecting - a new Sentinels project.
