What if Cable had destroyed the X-Men & Magneto took over the USA? (From Marvel Comics What If #46-47)

Guido and Rob return to the world of Storm, Wolverine and company as it's X-Men time once again! This week's episode focuses on the two-part What If from Kurt Busiek and Tod Smith from 1993 that sees the X-Men turn against each other, Cable fight Wolverine, Magneto in the White House, Sentinels conquering the world, an atomic bomb explosion and much more! But first, we travel back to the seminal start of Chris Claremont and Jim Lee's collaboration where our favorite mutants go from the Shi'ar to the Savage Land. We wrap up by discussing X-Men 97, Deadpool & Wolverine and the eternal question, X-Men movie or X-Men tv show.

It's back to the world of the X-Men! We start off with covering a classic run from writer Chris Claremont as he first partners with artist Jim Lee. Wolverine, Storm, Jubilee and Forge battle Skrulls, Deathbird and much more in outer space as they reunited with Charles Xavier (or do they?) while Magneto and Rogue join forces with Ka-Zar & Nick Fury in the Savage Land as they face off against Zaladane. Then we ask the question: What If Cable had destroyed the X-Men and Magneto took over the USA in an epic two issue What If that features appearances from the Fantastic Four, The Avengers, and almost every X-Men villain. We wrap up by speculating on the future of the X-Men on screen.
