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. The prison, however, is soon under attack, and anything metal is twisted and torn. Enter Magneto.
Magneto has come to rescue Beast, but Beast refuses to escape. He 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.
In the X-Mansion, Professor Xavier watches video tape from the prison, and informs 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 convinced 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 occurred 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 that 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 Beast be set free, prompting the guards to shoot Sabretooth with laser guns. Cyclops wants to aid Sabertooth before the guards inflict serious injury. Wolverine refuses to help and warns everyone that Sabretooth can not be trusted, but Cyclops brings Sabertooth to the Mansions' infirmary. Wolverine wants Sabertooth removed from the mansion, but Xavier refuses and Storm states that some people wanted Wolverine to leave when he first came, but that he was also allowed to stay. 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 control over wind and lightning to cause the computers in the missiles to short-circuit, deactivating them and drop them into the water. However, disabling the missiles demands too much from Storm's powers; she becomes unconscious and is caught just in time by Wolverine. Having prevented a nuclear war, the X-men return home to the manison having learning the full power of Magneto.
Last Episode: Night of the Sentinels (Part 2)
Next Episode: Deadly Reunions
