The Brotherhood of Mutants was a group dedicated to the cause of mutant superiority over humans. Throughout its various incarnations, the Brotherhood's agenda gravitated towards either subjugating the human race to the will of mutants or eradicating humanity altogether. Magneto formed the original Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, including Mystique, Toad, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Blob, Juggernaut, Pyro, Avalanche, Sabretooth, Rogue, Domino, Omega Sentinel and Nitro shortly after the public debut of the X-Men.
