The Brotherhood of Mutants (Group)

''"I say this: no more hiding. No more suffering. You have lived in the shadows in shame and fear for far too long. Now, we rise up! Together, we will take our place as Earth's inheritors in a beautiful Brotherhood of Mutants!" -- Magneto ''

The Brotherhood of Mutants are a group of mutant radicals and domestic terrorists that are fighting for mutant supremacy over humans. They are willing to take violent actions against government targets, as well as anyone who could stand in the way of their goals.

Their primary goal is to create a world where mutants can live without fear, free from human oppression. They believe that instilling fear and active opposition are the only way that things will get better.

Origin
In the ruins of the breaking of the X-Men in 2009, Magneto left with a handful of former X-Men, including Mystique and '''Mastermind. '''Together, they unofficially decided to start doing things their way. After recruiting a number of mutants to their cause over the next few months, they officially began to refer to their "movement" as The Brotherhood of Mutant Supremacy, or more commonly, simply the Brotherhood.

At first, the Brotherhood began actively attack DUP camps and transport vehicles, freeing the captive mutants and occasionally recruiting new mutants to their ranks. In 2014, they had their first, big victory when they devastated Camp Holland, the largest DUP camp on the American West Coast.

Bombings and other attacks on political targets began soon after, and the Brotherhood made their first official statement on video after the Thanksgiving Bombings in 2016. Since then, they have been categorized as domestic terrorists by the FBI.

In recent months, the Brotherhood has been becoming more active and are raising the stakes, gradually becoming more violent and escalating.
