Talk:Brotherhood of Mutants

message: What about a listing of the members of the Ultimate universe version, as well some more details about them?

Do we need this? It just clutters up the page.--DrBat 01:46, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Suggest merge of List of Brotherhood of Mutants members into  Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.  The main article is much better than the list article, which is just a table.  --John Nagle 01:45, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I was very impressed by the information available in this article.  How can I nominate it as a good article? --Mr Vain 19:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I decided not to nominate this article after all because I noticed that in the manual of style (writing about fiction) WP:WAF, it says that fiction needs verifiable 3rd party citations.  A large portion of the article does rely on the issues in question as citation and I don't see any citation of other works in the article itself.  I really do enjoy this article, but I just don't think it would be accepted as a good article per wikipedia guidelines.  Just thought you would want to know why I didn't nominate it. --Mr Vain 15:44, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I like the fact that this article goes on to mention that many authors are trying to move the Brotherhood's name away from having the word evil in it because the members don't see themselves as evil. Perhaps it should mention that even Stan Lee regrets the fact that he named them with evil, and goes on to say that to state that even he can make a mistake. This was contained in a limited edition comic that came with certain editions of X-men: The Last Stand.
I think it gets even better than that: I'm reading the Marvel Masterworks: X-Men volumes, and I believe the team doesn't refer to itself as 'The BROTHERHOOD of Evil Mutants'. The X-Men call them 'the Evil Mutants' or 'Magneto's Evil Mutants'. 'The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants' is the title of Uncanny X-Men issue 4, and when the team garnered a reputation as a respectable band of supervillains, the name of the issue was remembered, and the team was named 'BROTHERHOOD of Evil Mutants'. I'm guessing the name first appeared somewhere between Magneto's defeat in Avengers #53 and his fiasco with Mutant Alpha. But I'm no expert. 62.163.11.134 13:34, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, in, like, Uncanny X-Men #27 or something, Quicksilver says: 'The X-Men... well do I remember our epic battles against them when we were still unwilling pawns of Magneto and his Brotherhood.' So, a Brotherhood reference before Avengers #53. 194.171.56.2 15:24, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: How about collecting up all the minor characters from The Brotherhood limited series and putting them all together in one article? It seems like a waste to have each one or two sentence summary on its own page. Noclevername 01:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: It is quite possible that Stan Lee equated and used the name of these evil mutants as a passive aggressive stance against the enemies of Israel.  Stan is jewish by the way.  The entire premise of the Xmen is a metaphor for the oppressed Jews against the (NAZIs) who discriminate against them and the Evil Mutant (Arabs) who want to kill them.MPA 17:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

message: It seems unlikely that the Brotherhood of Mutants (X-Men (TV series)) article will become more fleshed out. I suggest merging it here. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 01:26, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The first paragraph of the Brotherhood of Mutants (X-Men (TV series)) article, seems to be identical to the information located at Brotherhood of Mutants#Television and List of X-Men: The Animated Series characters#Brotherhood of Mutants. I think that the information in the TV series article would be better integrated into the character descriptions at List of X-Men: The Animated Series characters.

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: "In Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows, the Brotherhood of Mutants consists of Magneto, Blob, Toad, Mist Mistress, Jubilee, and an unnamed mutant that resembles Crucible. " I haven't read this, but given that this is a BoM variant and that Mist Mistress is a member, I wonder if this is supposed to refer to Crucible instead of the Enclave operative it is currently linked to. Figured I'd bring my questions here so that someone who HAS read the thing can look into it. --Khajidha (talk) 22:54, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Nevermind. Did some checking around and found images, that's definitely not based on Burner/Crucible. --Khajidha (talk) 23:00, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Other versions 

message: How are we distinguishing these? Historically Marvel has called the version of the Brotherhood that became Mutant Force (and, later, the Resistance) Magneto's second Brotherhood. However, we seem to have rolled this into the same incarnation as the one with Scarlet Witch, Toad, etc. Aside from Magneto there is no overlap in membership. The groups labelled Mystique's Second and Third Brotherhoods have a large overlap in membership, but seem to be counted separately for reasons that aren't made clear. (Maybe because of the intervening existence of the Brotherhood from the comic of the same name? But that one was rarely talked about in relation to the X-Men books in general.) And the groups labelled Magneto's Second and Third Brotherhoods occur so close in time with so little activity from the first, that I'm not sure if these are truly separate teams or a single team that quickly replaced many members. And the incarnations as given on the List of Brotherhood of Mutants members page doesn't match the lineups given here. --Khajidha (talk) 18:24, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: PS - "Magneto's Third Brotherhood" (as listed here) is apparently actually "Joseph's Second Brotherhood", as it was organized by a disguised Joseph (see Uncanny X-Men v5 n16). --Khajidha (talk) 15:52, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
