Asteroid M
Location from Marvel Comics by Marvel Entertainment
Magneto's orbital fortress, constructed from salvaged spacecraft, satellites, and raw materials lifted from Earth by magnetic force. A floating declaration of mutant separatism in low Earth orbit.
Also known as: Asteroid M, Magneto's station, the orbital base
What They Know
- Magneto constructed Asteroid M by magnetically lifting materials from Earth — including decommissioned military hardware and mineral deposits
- The station has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, each version incorporating improvements over the last
- Asteroid M's defensive capabilities are primarily Magneto himself — his magnetic powers can neutralize any metallic threat in orbit
- The station has served as a refuge for mutants fleeing persecution, though Magneto's leadership style tends toward authoritarian
- Multiple X-Men missions have targeted Asteroid M, and several battles fought in and around the station have had catastrophic consequences when debris fell to Earth
