This is a plot page for members of the Brotherhood to share ideas. Any characters classed as Brotherhood members are more than welcome to post ideas here, or PM me with any ideas relating to the group. The Brotherhood of Mutants (sometimes unimaginatively referred to as the Brotherhood of 'Evil' Mutants) was a group founded by Erik Lehnsherr, better known by his 'real' name, Magneto. As a child, Lehnsherr and his family had been confined to the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, where he saw first hand how those who were born different from those in power were treated, an aspect of 'humanity' he never forgot. It was during these events that his mutant abilities manifested, and he learned he could create magnetic fields around objects, allowing him to control metal, in essence. The Brotherhood are a group of mutants similar to the X-Men, but different in their endeavours for mutant prosperity. The Brotherhood seek superiority for mutant kind above all else, and will stop at nothing until their kind has obtained it. Their tactics are based solely on Magneto's 'kill, or be killed first' belief, which stemmed from his own experiences in the camps. The Liberty Island Incident and the Battle at Alcatraz Island were all attacks that had been attributed to the Brotherhood, where they sought to turn the World Leaders at the UN Summit into mutants, and later strived to eradicate a 'Cure' created to eliminate the Mutant X-Genome. However, it was following that last grapple for power that the group were left decimated, both by the cure and the Phoenix's assault, which left their members either depowered, and or dead. Magneto was among the numbers depowered, and was fortunate to escape alive, but with his disappearance, the Brotherhood of Mutants was left scattered, standing as nothing more than a shadow of its former self, until now... Ever since his arrival on Earth, Loki, the God of Mischief and every other related synonym, has been faced with failure after failure, in his attempts to reclaim the Chitauri sceptre, and after one failure too many, has realized the necessity for followers. This has resulted in him setting his sights on what remains of the once imposing faction, which he has reformed alongside Raven Darkholme under his leadership. His goal: to regain the sceptre with their assistance, by any means necessary. However, with the return of the Maximoffs, that may change... The Brotherhood have never had a 'base of operations', always being on the move as they are. The group's location has varied between island bases, and forest encampments, with Magneto always utilizing his abilities to throw any interested parties off their scent. After the devastation that was wrought on the group following the Battle of Alcatraz Island, what was left was reduced to burrowing, hiding out in underground bases, disguised beneath warehouses. After their most recent, and far more luxurious base, was left in ruins as a result of the destruction unleashed by Ultron, the group have since relocated to a base in Hell's Kitchen. Under the leadership of Loki of Asgard, the Brotherhood of Mutants have been given new purpose, as well as a new base of operations, but this has not come without some semblance of distrust. The God of Mischief has only imparted his disdain for humanity on his newfound cohorts, agreeing that the lesser beings should be put in their place in light of a new piece of legislation currently making its way through government. However, he has yet to reveal his true hand regarding why he sought their assistance in the first place, and given how removed the group was from the events of the invasion of New York, very few of them are even aware that their new leader isn't even a mutant. As a result, he has had to solidify his position within the group, making promises to its members he is not likely to keep, all in an effort to maintain their allegiances, and a disposable army so that he might reclaim his sceptre, a goal he might just manage to achieve sooner rather than later. After learning that the Brotherhood is no longer what it once used to be, that it is neither in the control of mutants, nor focussed on issues pertaining to mutants, the Scarlet Witch unconsciously seizes control of the group. Deciding to put the likes of the Cure on the backburner for now, Wanda's focus comes to rest on something that is of far greater concern to her people, looming on the horizon: the Superhuman Registration Act. In the meantime, more and more numbers are recruited to the mutant group. However, before the blazing haired sorceress has a chance to make the necessary steps in the direction of learning more about the SRA, she and Quicksilver are located, and tracked by HYDRA back to their base. There are currently several plots lined up for the Brotherhood of Mutants, some of which will be minor in nature, seeing the group amassing more members, and dealing with the Superhuman Registration Act. The Brotherhood will also come into contact with the Hellfire Club and forge an alliance with the prestigious group, before going on to convince them to join forces with Wolfgang Von Strucker (
