I'm writing an article for "ASSEMBLED!" 2 and I was hoping that someone could look over the history portion of the article and make sure I'm not leaving anything out. It took a fair amount of research, but there could a few stories I didn't mention that deserve to be noted. The focus of this article is on the relationship between Magneto, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch.
Just send me an e-mail! Thanks!

I don't know much about this topic. But you could try cross-reading their spotlight sections at uncannyxmen.net. Probably everything you need is there

Firstly, congrats on writing a chapter for Assembled Volume 2. Can't wait to read it- I was offered, myself, but sadly I just don't have anywhere near the time.
That said, while I'm a huge Magneto fan, I simply don't have enough knowledge of that particular era to help out. Shiryu already beat me to what I was about to suggest- Uncannyxmen is definitely your best bet.

Well, I feel a little better. I did use the UncannyXmen.net spotlights as a cross-reference and if they didn't leave anything out and you guys agree that between UXN and I, I'm solid, then well . . . yay!

I don't know a whole lot about this either, as I am not a big X-Men guy. But I did recently pick up a copy of Strange Tales #128 which features Quicksilver and Wanda in what seems to be a prototype or tryout issue for Avengers #16. In this story (which takes place at the same time as Avengers #11) Pietro and Wanda are in New York and trying to figure out how to escape from Magento's influence. They think about contacting the Avengers but they don't seem to know where Avengers Mansion is, so they instead go to the Baxter Building, where they fight the Thing and Human Torch, who assume they are there for mayhem instead of help.
I personally wasn't aware of this story until very recently and I didn't see a whole lot about it on that X-Men website, though I didn't spend much time looking.

It doesn't seem to have much impact on the article, so I probably wouldn't include. But thanks for pointing it out to me! On a side-note, there are X-Men references in the article, though it relies just as much (if not more) on Avengers references.

Back then, Magneto and his band of merry mutants also appeared in Journey Into Mystery #109 (1964), versus Thor; though this story is probably not germane to your topic, either. Looking forward to reading your essay, I'm a big fan of these characters.
Fitting (and from what I've read, entirely coincidental) that Neal Adams (in X-Men #62) drew a helmetless (for the first time) Magneto looking very aristocratic, with strong, defined features and a full head of thick white hair...an older version of Pietro.

Thank you! I've made a lot of interesting observations about these characters and how they interact. There are common themes that exist with this trio that you can see present in nearly every time they get together - including House of M. On that note, I found the story that I knew was missing. I had a strong feeling that there was another Magneto/Avengers story in the early Avengers 100s and I found it. Luckily, it won't take much to add it, plus it adds to my theory.

Looks like Wanda and Pietro from Ultimates 3 are in an incestuous relationship. Are kids still reading comics?

I mean, I know Mark Millar made a lot jokes about those two, but don't even tell me that Loeb is actually . . . y'know. UGH! Marvel! Get it together!

To be fair....
A) Ultimates was NEVER, EVER aimed at kids.
B) Millar did pretty heavily imply it. Which I found kinda creepy but also, admittedly, an interesting little hook.
Don't know how Loeb has handled it though, soI can't comment.

I was going to post a preview, but alas my computer has once again decided to hate it's adapter. SO, yeah, you'll all just have wait until May for the new book.
