Lore

Emma Frost: "Erik, let me in. Through our mental link, I can project your likeness to confuse the enemy." Magneto: "Emma, I appreciate your strategic insight. But why would I risk my mental safeguards when we could just crush them directly?" Psylocke: "We must never underestimate our foes. Ever since I left home, every enemy I've faced has required strategy to defeat. To defeat Orochi, I risked everything in a direct confrontation. But in these battles, if the enemy can't pinpoint where the real me is, they'll be thrown off balance—and that gives us the opening we need." Emma Frost: "Precisely, Sai. Our enemies always underestimate our true potential. We Mutants are far more formidable than they imagine. Your projections will flawlessly mirror your every movement, synchronizing even your powers to throw off their judgment." Magneto: "Well reasoned, young one. The raw power we wield is merely the surface—the true strength lies in strategy. Let them witness my image yet never truly know where I stand. But you shall still have no access to my mind. The answer is no." Emma Frost: "You are such a bore. I suppose I can disrupt their perception and shatter their mental defenses myself...Victory on the battlefield is not just about overwhelming force—it's about conquering their minds." Psylocke: "They'll fool themselves into their own demise. But we need to work as a team." Magneto: "Fine, only for a brief moment, I will lend you my mind, and together, we will instill a fear in our enemies they've never known before." Emma Frost: "Excellent. Simply call upon the White Queen and we will show them what a true 'battle of wits' looks like."
