Summary

The animated series X-Men '97 has delivered a shocking and brutal twist in its second season, resulting in the definitive death of the iconic mutant Magneto. In the fourth episode of season 2, titled "Rise of Apocalypse - Part II," Magneto was tragically killed by Apocalypse. This event unfolded as the X-Men attempted to prevent Apocalypse's rise, a situation ironically exacerbated by their own intervention.
Witnessing this devastating moment was Professor Charles Xavier, Magneto's longtime friend and adversary. Despite their combined efforts, they were unable to stop En Sabah Nur from transforming into the formidable Apocalypse. Magneto managed to save the immediate surroundings but was left vulnerable, allowing Apocalypse to vaporize him, leaving only his helmet.
This violent act by Apocalypse serves as a powerful statement about his danger and establishes that no character, not even a beloved one like Magneto, is safe. The series continues to explore mature themes, leaving viewers to question the fate of other characters and the potential for future returns, as new episodes air weekly on Disney Plus.
