How the Uncanny X-Men will be whole again in Marvel Comics

Marvel’s best villains
Avengers may be Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, but they don’t have villains as strong and intimidating as the X-Men. Sure, there is Dr. Doom and Ultron, but the X-Men have Apocalypse, Magneto, the Shi’ar Empire, Mr. Sinister, and a plethora of other villains that could take over the world. With Wolverine coming back, that will also add Omega Red, Sabretooth (if he goes evil again), and Weapon X.
As much as I enjoy Emma Frost, Magneto, and Juggernaut as heroes, they have to come back as villains. There are certain antagonists that are too classic to be anything else but evil. And even though Emma and Cyclops work better as a couple, it’s always gonna be Jean Grey and Cyclops who should be together. Magento also needs to go back to trying to put humanity under his booted heal (always loved that cheesy phrase).
Magneto being a good guy made sense when the X-Men were looked at as outcasts after the fiasco with Norman Osborn. Now, he has to go back to being the dangerous villain that people can relate to.
