Or maybe…if a signifigant number of mutants were killed in the towers, Magneto might take it as yet another sign that Humans were getting innocent mutants killed in the “petty squabbles” of _Homo Sapiens_.

He might even start a series of raids into nations harboring Al-Qaeda, and _indiscrimately slaughter_ great swaths of the local population, in the hopes of keeping mutants from being caught in the “crossfire” from human terrorists in the future.

I could see Kingpin being effected by 9-11. He is the kingpin, he views New York as his city. For Al-Qaeda to destroy a part of it would be a personal affront to him.

Doom, Juggs, Mags, Kingpin, all standing the the rubble as pretty as you please…crying or not, that ain’t gonna happen. Especially in the Marvel U where one of them if not all of them would automatically be blamed for the destruction being at the scene of the devastation.

By Juggs, do you mean Juggernaut?

Kinda hypocritical of him to be upset by 9/11. IIRC, he **caused** the WTC to collapse in Xforce issue 3 or 4.

Maybe that’s why Juggernaut was crying. Somebody knocked down the World Trade Center towers, and it **wasn’t him!** I know I’d be upset if I got upstaged like that.

Sentimental stupidity. Worse, designed to cash in on 9/11. Offensive.
