History

The Brotherhood of Mutants was created by the mutants Magneto and Mystique in direct opposition to his old friend Charles Xavier's X-Men. Whereas Xavier sought for a peaceful co-existence between mutants and humans, Magneto's beliefs (influenced by his imprisonment and the death of his family in a Nazi concentration camp) were that humans would never accept mutants as equals and would turn on them, lashing out in anger and fear just as the Nazis had done. His solution was that if humans could not accept them into their society then they would create their own. Thus, the Brotherhood was born.

Eventually, the Brotherhood's goals changed from forming a seperate but equal society to humans into an aim to completely dominate them. As such, Magneto and his associates were branded as terrorists.
