During a recent confrontation between the X-Men and the Brotherhood, Professor X (Charles Xavier) was seemingly forced to take Magneto's life to end the threat he posed. But Xavier isn't a man who takes a life easily. Instead, he secretly saved Magneto, wiping his memories and giving him a new life as a family man.
Inevitably, Magneto's memories returned and the Master of Magnetism created a message in the sky over New York made up cars to thank Xavier for allowing him to live. Now, with the government believing the X-Men are in league with Magneto, they're on their most wanted list. And there's only one group powerful enough to take the X-Men down and that's Earth-1610's version of the Avengers... the Ultimates!

Ultimate X-Men #26
First we delve into Charles Xavier and Magneto's eight-year history, learning how they started the Brotherhood together when Xavier walked away from his family to focus on saving mutantkind. Their partnership turned sour as time underlined their differing perspectives, gradly turning them from brothers-in-arms to bitter enemies. When Xavier decided to flee their Savage Land civilatiation for mutants, Magneto crippled him by hurling a metal spear into his spine. Three years later, Xavier - as Professor X - formed the X-Men. In the present day, Magneto prepares to wage war on humanity...Ultimate War #1

Wolverine returns from his mission to the Savage Land, breaking the news that Cyclops didn't survive (in truth, Wolverine let Cyclops fall down a ravine in the hope he'd die and let him have have Marvel Girl all to himself). Over at the Ultimates' headquarters, the Triskelion, Magneto forces his way in and shoots Quicksilver in the kneecaps for betraying him to the humans. As Magneto makes his exits, Captain America promises to take down the X-Men as hard as the Brotherhood...

The Ultimates assault the X-Men and, even though the mutants mostly hold their own, they don't manage to stop the Ultimates from capturing their boss, Charles Xavier. With no one to lead them, the X-Men need to figure out how they're going to take down Magneto's entire Brotherhood and not get caught by the authorities...
The Brotherhood's attack on Chicago is intercepted by the X-Men, desperate to prove they're not in league with Magneto.

But Magneto finds them first, offering them one last chance to join his before he wipes out humanity. They have seven days...

Forge uses his machine to power Magneto up again, but the process is interrupted by the X-Men who crash their jet into the fortress.

He joins the X-Men in their assault, but the magnetic master of mutantism blows up a nuclear reactor in Miami as payback...Ultimate X-Men #31

But have they unwittingly invited Xavier into the heart of the US military machine...?Ultimate X-Men #33
