Shadow Character Design Reference sheet✨⬇️
Shadow, G.U.N Agent and the AU’s equivalent of Maximus!
Just as Maximus works for the Royal Guard, Shadow works closely with G.U.N as their top agent. While he prefers to work alone, with Eggman’s heightened attacks and domination there tends to be more mutual gain from working with them, all in the name of protecting the planet and taking Eggman down. He’s reliable, determined, does their dirty work and gets the job done. He’ll stop at NOTHING to achieve his goal… unless a certain little fox and his wishes just happen to remind him a bit too much of Maria to deny them.
Shadows spends most of the AU tracking Sonic down trying to repossess the yellow Chaos Emerald that was previously in G.U.N’s possession. While annoyed at Sonic’s even more reckless and careless attitude, he deep down envies the sense of freedom the hedgehog seems to have despite the world falling down around him. Despite his frustrations with Sonic, throughout the story he slowly starts to see some changes in the hedgehogs attitude surrounding his growing protective and caring nature towards Miles/Tails.
✨Thank you so, so much to @/thatbirdguy_for creating this amazing character sheet! It once again was such a blast working with them on this design! Thank you so much also to @sh-0-w-1-sh for creating some amazing concept designs for Shadow which majorly helped in developing his look as well as all the discussions we’ve had surrounding him and his role in the story! And last but not least thank you also to @/friskencore who helped get my mind rolling on thinking of an alternate design for Shadow within the au! They’re all legends and I can’t thank them enough! 💛✨
hello I come to you with a request. I watched x men 97 recently and was saddened by how little time the whole magneto in charge of the x men storyline got and I know he does this longer in the comics (I can't say why but the phrase "its seven in the morning max..." lives rent free in my brain) so I wanted to ask if you have any recommendation for comics from that era / any recommendations for comics with mister magnet-os because I want to get into x men comics but comics as always are so daunting
It is my great pleasure to answer this!!
Disclaimer 1, I am still going through a lot of the issues of this era but I will try my best to make it as clear a guide as I can for you!
Disclaimer 2, Headmaster of the school and leader of the X-Men are quite different positions that they kind of fused together in the 97 show so I do want to make it clear that magneto in the "seven in the morning" era is headmaster of the school, teaching young kids, while Storm is leading the X-men team and Scott is leading the X-factor team, so with that said:
Magneto's teacher arc starts in uncanny X-Men issues 199 and 200 (iconic issues containing the trial of magneto that was adapted in the show!) And then he is headmaster of the school in the book "The new mutants" by Chris Clermont, from issue 35 to issue 75. It is A LOT I admit and he gets a more minor place considering the book is about the kickass young class of new mutants that he's teaching. But it is worth checking out! Many consider this to kind of be peak magneto because.... he's trying so hard to be a good teacher and to handle all these kids and it's very humanizing for him!
I mean look at him and his 8 kids!
Now, how to get into Magneto overall? Let's get into it:
I believe it is impossible to get into Magneto without reading his ultimate origin story, Magneto: Testament by Greg Pack. It is a quick intro, it barely features his powers (not an action comic) and it is a very very emotional read. I consider it essential magneto reading!
Next up: Two One shots if you want to get a quick primer on the character pre moral arc instead of sitting through his few appearances in the Stan Lee comics:
A classic one: X-Men: God Loves, Men Kills by Chris Claremont. It is an iconic comic book one shot that can be read out of continuity just to see what his deal is when he's not necessarily on the side of the X-Men but fighting for his own ideals! It's overall a brilliant comic book!
If you want a more recent retelling of the first appearances of magneto you HAVE to read X-Men Mythos that retells magneto's major first appearance in the 60s in quite a beautiful and amazing way! It also has an absolutely insane magneto scene that is very memorable! (So this would "chronologically" come before God loves men Kills)
Now for his switch from cartoon villain of the 60s/early 70s to complex guy in the 80s, read the issues 149 and 150 from the run Uncanny X-Men by Chris Claremont. This is THE pivotal moment for "good guy" Magneto
(know that after issue 150, somehow he falls in the ocean from asteroid M, is rescued from a shark attack by Scott's girlfriend Lee Forester. They have a quick relationship where he struggled with his change of morals then he comes to the new mutants)
if you want to continue chronologically you read the issues 199 and 200 that I recommended at the start then go to the new mutants book I talked about earlier!
House of X powers of X are two series that intertwine (you'll easily find them in the right order) by the same writer, Jonathan hickman!
It serves as a status quo change/relaunch of the X-Men universe. Magneto plays a big part of the story as he is directly involved in building a mutant nation. I'd say it's a bold but quite functional intro to X-Men comics!
Then he appears as a major character in the GREAT series X-Men Red by Al Ewing alongside Storm, a character that meant a lot to him in the 80s, so it's really nice to see again.
In this he is- epic, depressed, suicidal, sassy, it's great magneto stuff! This series is widely regarded as the best X-Men comic out right now!
(if you want context for this book read the event X of Swords, or I could explain if interested)
That's about all I will lay on you ! If this is hella confusing, don't hesitate to dm me! I can detail more cleanly exactly what you have to read and when!
Good reading!

The old man obsession is getting to meguyspls
good episode!!! sweet sixteen!!!!!
There are two wolves inside of you
One hopes the balancing of the Purgatory event gets adapted so it’s more fair for the Red “Roleplay” Team, with maybe the addition of some pacifist zones to allow for more calm discussion between teams
The other hopes none of that happens so we get to witness Red Team feral cannibals/NPC traders
loving a character so much will unlock such vulnerable and cringe parts of you that you try to suppress so bad but you can't like it's so humbling
god forbid women do anything
"Stop bringing your nerdy boyfriend over."
"Oi, don't be a dick, I-"
"Shut up Mondo, I was talking to Ishi."
