Trial of Magneto
"X-Men: The Trial of Magneto" is a comic book storyline, which debuted in August 2021, published by Marvel Comics. The limited series spins out of the murder of Scarlet Witch during the "Hellfire Gala".
"Trial of Magneto" was originally the title of a story arc in Uncanny X-Men #200 (1985), by writer Chris Claremont and artist John Romita Jr., where Magneto was put on trial before the International Court of Justice.
In May 2021, Marvel announced – with a teaser drawn by Romita Jr. – a limited series titled X-Men: The Trial of Magneto by writer Leah Williams and artist Lucas Werneck. The limited series is part of the X-Men line Reign of X; it follows the events of the Hellfire Gala where the Scarlet Witch is murdered in X-Factor (vol. 4) #10. Williams commented that the intended focus of the series is on Scarlet Witch and rehabilitating "Wanda's image with the rest of the mutants on Krakoa"; Williams stated that "her goal is not to write the next defining Magneto story but to write an 'empathy engine', as a Wanda sympathiser, to authentically tell a story that's going to be about healing and catharsis".
Williams informed Bleeding Cool that the X-Factor series was canceled when her Magneto/Wanda story arc pitch for X-Factor "became such a popular pitch at Marvel", however, Marvel didn't believe that X-Factor's readership numbers were "big enough for this story" which led to the development of the Trial of Magneto limited series. The title of the limited series was a marketing decision. Marvel "canceled X-Factor #10 rather than seeing it run as originally planned, with the Trial beginning in X-Factor #15. Williams says she only learned about the cancellation of X-Factor when she was writing #9, so as she had to finish the series quickly, squeezing six issues worth of story into those last two issues, calling it 'cramped and rushed'".
In terms of Marvel comics continuity, The Trial of Magneto takes place after the Darkhold event storyline and mostly before the Inferno (2021) event storyline. These storylines were published concurrently; Darkhold was published in 2021 due to delays in comic book distribution in 2020. In September 2022, Marvel announced a Scarlet Witch solo series which follows the events of The Trial of Magneto; it premiered in January 2023.
The ruling Council of mutant to discuss the murder of the Scarlet Witch and if to resurrect her due to her status as human and the cause of M-day. Due to evidence Wanda's attacker possessed magnetic abilities, Magneto is deemed a prime suspect. Following the attack, the Avengers are invited to take the then deceased body from the mutant nation of Krakoa and a complicated confrontation ensues. Wanda resurrects herself to the shock of The Five, who were preparing to resurrect Wanda themselves. The Five are a group of five mutants who are responsible for Krakoa's "resurrection protocols," used to restore mutants by recreating their bodies and then implanting a "back-up" copy of their mind previously recorded to the super-computer Cerebro. However as Wanda resurrected herself in a younger body, her mind's last back-up to Cerebro was recorded before the events of Avengers Disassembled, the resurrected Wanda has no memories of recent years. As others attempt to restore Wanda's mind, she is overwhelmed by the guilt of suddenly remembering the last few years and her actions, causing her to create physical constructs of monsters. Meanwhile, on the astral plane, the spirit of the murderer Wanda finds herself facing is a vision of an older self who confronts her with uncomfortable truths she has denied. Realizing the need to heal by accepting her actions and forgiving herself, the three Wandas stop the monster attack and then merge together, resulting in a fully restored Wanda who now knows there is at least one possible future where she will grow old and wise.
Unwilling to explain their resurrection program to outsiders, the Council of Krakoa remain coy about specifics. Evidence is found against the mutant Toad, who is found guilty of murdering Wanda and punished, and the Avengers leave.
In the aftermath of the events, Wanda works with the mutants Polaris, Legion, and Proteus to increase the capabilities of the resurrection protocols but that doing so required her physical death. She recruited Magneto's help in arranging her own death, a suicide disguised by magic to look like a murder. Thanks to Wanda's plan, Wanda was able to create a pocket dimension "Waiting Room" which now allows all mutants to be resurrected, including those who never had a chance to manifest their X-gene and those whose minds were not able to be copied to the computer Cerebro. This added twenty million mutants to the queue, including everyone who died on Genosha. Learning this, the mutants of Krakoa who once referred to Wanda as a "Pretender" have forgiven her for the M-Day incident and Exodus himself has given her the new title of "The Redeemer". Wanda is now a welcome guest of the mutant nation, telling her story to children so they may learn from her mistakes.
