History

The Brotherhood of Mutants was created by the mutants Magneto and Mystique in direct opposition to their 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.

The two created the Brotherhood out of the much more radical Hellfire Club following its leader's death. It was originally made up of Magneto, Mystique, Emma Frost, Azazel, Riptide, and Angel Salvadore.

Over the decades, the roster continuously changed its size and composition. Eventually, the Brotherhood's goals changed from forming a separate but equal society to humans to completely dominate them. As such, Magneto and his associates were branded as terrorists.
