 We all were given a number and this was mine. 
 
 214782 
 
 I no longer had a name. 
 
 No longer had a future. 
 
 No longer had a people. 
 
 
 
 I had tried to save my parents, but they killed them. 
 
 I had tried to maintain my identity, but they tortured it out of me. 
 
 And all I now had left was my rage, and my number...

 They were going to die for this. Every single one of them. Down to the last woman and child. 
 
 They had to die. 
 
 And I was going to make sure that they did. 
 
 Maybe not today. 
 
 Maybe not tomorrow. 
 
 But die they all would in the end. 
 
 I would take my time planning out my revenge, making it foolproof. Imagining the pleasure, the ecstasy of putting a pistol to their brains and pulling the trigger. 
 
 I would make sure that this abomination, this genocide, this Holocaust would never happen to my people again. Not matter what the cost. 
 
 The next time I would be ready. 
 
 The next time I would save them, 
 
 The next time I would protect them. 
 
 But to do so I had to put aside the boy I had once been. Put aside the number they had tried to make me be. I had to become something greater. 
 
 I had to become Magneto.
