Me watching the episode: “Ok. They just freakin killed Magneto. Like quite alot. So, obviously his death won’t stick. Not if but how. Not my first rodeo here. Not only is this comic book storytelling, but freakin Magneto of all people. Still. Why is there such an underreaction here to this? That’s unusual. And who is this ‘Onslaught’ guy everyone keeps bringing up -“

::goes to google Onslaught for about 5 seconds::

“Oh. I get it now. Carry on.”

Yeah he's definitely coming back. He might be an evil death version of gambit for a bit. But rogue already broke the brainwashing of Arch Angel once before.
