Dawn Of X: 10 Spin-Off Comics Marvel Must Make

Joseph had been created by the mutant teleporter, Astra, as a means of revenge on Magneto. She had kidnapped the mind-wiped Magneto after the destruction of Avalon by Holocaust.

She restored Magneto’s memories, and created Joseph from his DNA with the important alterations of correcting the instabilities in Magneto's nervous system that caused him to go mad when he wielded too much power. Astra also removed Joseph's instinct for self-preservation.

Magneto proved in the ensuing battle that youth and power was no match for experience and guile. While surely Joseph was more powerful and gave Magneto quite the fight, Magneto quickly separated him from his creator and once alone he knocked Joseph on the back of the head with an engine block and escaped. Joseph fell into the jungle with no memory of whom or what he was.

Joseph was found, unconscious and sick with fever, by small children who belonged to a orphanage in Guatemala, but he proved to have no memory of his past.

While some of the X-Men comics deal with what happened to Joseph after losing his memory, the ideal Joseph spin-off would be following him from creation, as he struggles to adjust to his powers and memories which aren’t truly his. An emphasis could be placed on Joseph’s internal struggle between good and evil; having all of the thoughts and DNA of arguably the most evil character in the X-Men universe.
