Marvel Mods

Debuting in 1991, The Acolytes :beetle:  are a group of powerful mutants that revere and serve Magneto. Although changing membership throughout the years, The Acolytes almost always are portrayed as the loyal followers of Magneto and protectors of Genosha. Reintroduced in X-Men Legends, the Acolytes are once again portrayed as members of the Brotherhood of Mutants honorbound to Magneto and his ideal of Homosuperiority. They fail to appear in the sequel, but instead two skins reappear as enemies ranamed as the Shock Trooper and Shock Captain. I believe they are absent by name due to Apocalypse himself. During the seige of Genosha, the Acolytes undoubtedly aided in the defense of the island nation alognside the Brotherhood, but were ultimately defeated. As a result, Mr. Sinister was free to experiment and test on the Genoshan mutants, most likely including the Acolytes and forcing them to join Apocalypse's army. With Apocalypse defeated and Genosha liberated, the Acolytes have returned to their master's side and are ready to aid him in defeating the Masters of Evil! This mod brings the abilities of the three Acolyte minions from XML1 and combines them into one.
