History[]

The Brotherhood of Mutants or Brotherhood of Bayville, are a group of teenaged mutants that were assembled by Mystique who was acting under orders of Magneto. The Brotherhood serve as Erik's answer to deal with the X-Men with Pietro and Lance being the only two to have direct rivalry with someone in their opposing group, those being Evan and Scott.

Road to redemption[]

Despite being a group whose sole purpose was to cause trouble and chaos through Bayville, often getting into fights with the X-Men during their early days as a team, The Brotherhood soon began doing pettier crimes as they semi-retired and instead opted to stay in their run-down house that Mystique had access to.

The team, namely Lance and Toad, were easily manipulated by those higher than them such as Erik, Mystique and to an extent, Principal Kelly as, while they were not that evil, they had no other choice except to follow the orders given to them. Even though they were rivals, The Brotherhood, despite being hesitant at first, teamed up with the X-Men when the situation at hand became too dire and extreme. The first time the two fought together was against Juggernaut; another such exception was when Xavier united both teams together much to the annoyance of each. After the release of Apocalypse, The Brotherhood once again allied themselves with the X-Men as well as The Acolytes to fight against Erik who was being controlled. In the future, Xavier saw The Brotherhood fully changing their morals and joining S.H.I.E.L.D's Freedom Force Division.

Recruitment[]

By the time the school year came to an end, Mystique had successfully convinced Pietro, Lance, Fred and Toad to join the Brotherhood, whereupon she gave them access to an old boarding house as a home. Due to her powers, Mystique believed her adoptive daughter, Rogue, would be a perfect addition for the Brotherhood and attempted to recruit her, only for Rogue to eventually defect and join the X-Men. By this time, the team had also discovered their leader was also their school Principal.

New allies[]

During their second year of living together, a new mutant by the name of Tabitha joined the team due to Mystique's absence as she had abandoned The Brotherhood. Knowing Mystique was gone, Tabitha chose to take over the former's room despite the boys telling her that the room was out of the question. She also teased and bullied her new team whenever possible such as taking Lance's car or when she got Fred to shave his hair making him go bald. Though her actions were not enough to cause fights between them and the X-Men.

Wanting to prove to Kitty that he could be a better person, Lance moved away from his team and instead tried joining the X-Men which caused the New Mutants to try and get him to leave by framing him for actions they themselves caused, Lance put up with them for as long as he could but eventually left and returned to his old team whom teased him for what he had done. Tabitha had also joined the Bayville Sirens during that time. Once Mystique returned and discovered that there had been a new member recruited without her knowledge, she kicked out Tabitha, who left without an argument, Mystique then introduced the team's newest member who Pietro recognised as his younger sister, Wanda. After the twins recognised each other, Wanda began using her powers in an attempt to get back at her brother for what their father had done, but was soon calmed down as Pietro explained to the others who their attacker was.

Now able to control her powers, Wanda, as well as the boys, were ordered by Mystique to go fight the X-Men at the Bayville mall. Not wanting Kitty to be harmed, Lance attempted in vain to tell her about what was going to happen, Wanda soon appeared to join her team and hexed her enemies' powers, causing them to become unstable. With her aid, The Brotherhood were able to gain an advantage and win against their rivals. Needing to stop Erik, The Brotherhood and X-Men teamed up to stop their common enemy only to learn that Pietro was a traitor who had sided with his father. As the Sentinel the teams were fighting collapsed onto Erik, both groups were unaware that he had survived the attack thanks to his son.

Mutants exposed to society[]

Once the existence of Mutants had been exposed to the world, The Brotherhood chose to stay away from their school. though Todd, Fred and Lance were only allowed back if they agreed to target Xavier's students, which they agreed to. At the school, the three attempted to provoke their rivals to try get them to use their powers, but the X-Men refused to do so as they were trying paint themselves in a good light. Principal Kelly spoke to Lance where he expelled The Brotherhood, an action that angered Lance who used his powers in frustration before leaving Bayville High.

Wanting to locate her father, Wanda hesitantly accompanied Toad to a news van where they looked on the cameras to discover Erik had survived the Sentinel attack and was rescued by Pietro. Wanda, angered with her family, tracked down Caliban to question where her father was only to be told he was out of reach. Caliban then suggested Wanda ask to locate someone else as the latter agreed and requested for him to find Pietro to which he did. Wanda then found Pietro in a diner and left him trapped for the police to find under the impression that their father would bail him out. Lance, Toad and Fred were then ordered to go rescue their teammate much to their annoyance, Kitty and Rogue intercepted with both groups being stopped by the army who showed sympathy towards the mutant though during this, Pietro escaped from the scene. As the time for Apocalypse's freedom came nearer, The Brotherhood assisted the X-Men after they had all had their powers absorbed by Rogue, once Apocalypse escaped his tomb, he easily defeated those opposing him and left them where he was once trapped.

Helping to save the world[]

With The Brotherhood now sharing a common enemy with their former rival team and The Acolytes, all three teams allied together to make sure they had a better chance at defeating Apocalypse. During a train ride, Wanda became frustrated and lost control over her powers causing the train to also lose control. In the aftermath, many civilians were left stranded in the disaster but were saved by The Brotherhood with Lance saving an old woman and them being eventually praised as heroes much to the annoyance of the X-Men. As the team continued to revel in their newfound success, they all opted to fake more situations in order to remain as the media's top story but as they finally decided to stop their act, Pietro insisted their final deed was to be a big one which ultimately ended with the X-Men intervening and the former group losing rights over the new items that they were given.

After The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were put into play, The Brotherhood allied themselves with the Acolytes and X-Men to save the world. The teams split up each deal with a Horseman with Wanda being hesitant to fight her own father but was forced to do so to protect those around her. Once Apocalypse was defeated and sealed away once again, The Horsemen were freed and reunited with those around them with Erik uniting once again with his children.

Future[]

In the future, The Brotherhood fully redeemed themselves and were joined by John Allerdyce, otherwise known as their old Acolyte enemy, Pyro, where the the six eventually joined a division of S.H.I.E.L.D's.
