Enter Magneto is an episode in the animated TV series X-Men Animated Series.
"Enter Magneto" begins with Beast incarcerated for his actions in the last episode. As Beast reads ("Animal Farm") in his cell he is mocked by the prison guards, who think that he is reading a picture book. The bigoted guards cannot fathom that Beast is literate. This prison is soon under attack, and anything metal is twisted and torn. Enter Magneto.
Magneto has come to rescue Beast, but Beast refuses to escape. Beast wants to prove his innocence at a public trial. Magneto and Beast debate the Mutant/Human conflict as the prison guards mount an attack against Magneto. Magneto destroys the small attacking force including their tanks and other armored vehicles.
Professor Xavier watches video tape from the prison, and tells Jubilee of his past relationship with Magneto. The subsequent flashback depicts the two men as friends at a hospital, and how in the face of a brutal army, Magneto becomes conviced that peace between mutants and normal humans is not possible. This is a toned down version of Magneto's origins, as while it is clear that these events occured during the Second World War, the Holocaust and the Nazis are depicted in subtext and generic army men. Xavier stopped Magneto once, and it appears Xavier must stop Magneto again.
The episode switches scene to Beast's bail hearing. Wolverine and Cyclops watch the proceeding from the back of the courtroom. Beast explains to the court he is incarcerated because he was rescuing mistreated mutants. The enraged courtroom audience begins shouting at Beast. He borrows language from William Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice", thus comparing anti-Semitism to anti-mutant bigotry, and when he is denied bail, he is seen holding a copy of "Crime and Punishment", by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
As the guards escort Beast back to his cell, Sabretooth watches as a prison guard shoves Beast to the ground and demands that Beat be set free, prompting the guards to shoot Sabretooth with laser guns. Cyclops wants to aid Sabertooth before the guards inflict serious injury, but Wolverine refuses to help and warns everyone that Sabretooth can not be trusted. Wolverine wants Sabertooth removed from the mansion, bur Xavier refuses. The argument is interrupted when an alarm indicates Magneto is attacking a military missile facility.
As the X-men arrive on the scene, Magneto is preparing to launch the nuclear missiles at strategic human targets in order to ensure the outbreak of a war between mutants and humans. Cyclops, Storm, and Wolverine face off with Magneto, but are unable to stop him. As Magneto leaves to prepare for the war, Storm is able to use her mutant powers to cause the computers in the missiles to short-circuit, causing them to deactivate and fall into the water. Having prevented a nuclear war, the X-men return home to the manison having learning the full power of Magneto.
