About Story:
"Justice for All!" Story by Roger Stern. Art by Marc Silvestri and Joe Rubinstein. The Avengers are Earth's Mightiest Heroes and the planet's first and last line of defense against any menace that may threaten her. They never lose. The Uncanny X-Men are mutant outlaws whose heroic deeds are often over shadowed by growing mutant hysteria and prejudice. They look after their own. The Soviet Super-Soldiers are Russia's premiere super-heroes and they plan to see the enemy of their country brought to justice. No matter who may stand in their way. Caught in the middle of these super-powers is the Master of Magnetism, Magneto. Once an arch villain of the highest order, now Magneto is trying to atone for his past transgressions as a member of the X-Men (see Uncanny X-Men #200). However, his past comes back to haunt him when fragments of his orbital base of operations known as Asteroid M falls to Earth and attracts the attention of the super-hero community. Can a man truly change? And will the Soviet Super-Soldiers, and the Avengers for that matter, give him the chance to?
