Is Magneto's Helmet The Murder Weapon? Prime Suspect?
The second printing cover to X-Factor #10 is rather stark, Magneto's silver helmet that he wears on Krakoa, no longer on his head, and covered in blood. Spoilers going forward of course, you have been warned. Presuming that of Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, once thought to be his mutant daughter but no longer and renamed in the X-Men titles as The Pretender. As well as one of the greatest war criminals against the mutant race. And as seen at the end of X-Factor #10, murdered, with Magneto as prime suspect ahead of the upcoming Trial Of Magneto. Looking back at SWORD #6, where Wanda MAximoff arrived on Krakoa at Magneto's invite, the removed helmet does seem prominent. Might one consider that Magneto's helmet makes him impervious to telepathic control. The other question we had, which has not yet been answered is if Wanda Maximoff could be resurrected by Cerebro and The Krakoan Five. Yeah, maybe she did. Well, you'd think the answer was "Yes." Except, as we know, she was thought to be a mutant for many, many, many years. And she was thought to be a mutant by people who have the technology developed specifically for identifying mutants. So while she is not a mutant, whatever she is, whatever was done to her, was enough to fool Cerebro, apparently." Upcoming solicitations for Trial Of Magneto did state that "there is something wrong with the body"
