[Today Insert an Image of Erik Magnus Lehnnsher/Magneto Here]
Also really known Max Eisenhardht in the mainstream Marvel comics. Even though in most other Marvel media like the games, cartoons, and movies, they refer to him as Erik. But whatever.

Moving through the skies around New York we arrived at the Baxter Building in no time.
When we did HERBIE was there waiting for us, a cart filled with clothes right next to him.
Letting me know Reed and the others likely called ahead and explained the situation.
Though I'm not complaining.
As the Fantast-car landed, Johnny following suit, the force-field bubble Susan had secured us all in also touched down and then vanished.
Reed and the others exiting their super cool vehicle as it did.
"Alright everyone, I have some fresh clothes for all of you." Susan explained. "HERBIE will lead you all to a place where you can change and shower." She said. Before turning her gaze to Liz. "Except for you miss Allen, given your situation. As such can you please follow me?"
"No problem." Liz replied.
As she did Harry leaned in and gently kissed her cheek. "Don't worry Liz, we'll be right behind you."
"Thanks." Liz replied.
Once she did everyone went their separate ways for the moment.

Feeling refreshed after the hot shower I just finished, now dressed in the sweats Reed and the others provided for me, I was making my way to his lab, being led by HERBIE.
The others right along side us.
Our group reaching the lab in no time at all.
Where immediately after entering it we saw Liz standing in the center of a cube-shaped containment unit, once again covered in flames, but this time generating them.
Though the moment she spotted us she stopped.
While Reed and the others turned their attention to us.
"So, what's the word?" I asked.
Even though it's only been about thirty minutes since we all arrived at the Baxter Building.
But for a man like Reed, thirty minutes might as well be a lifetime in certain cases.
Same with me.
Not that I'm bragging or anything.
"Well first off it's just as you all suspected, your friend miss Allen is a mutant. Given a DNA sample we took showed her X-Gene is now active." Susan explained.
Confirming what I already knew.
"Got it, so Liz is an Evo." I spoke. Leading everyone to stare at me.
"I'm sorry, a what?" Johnny asked.
"An evolved human." I explained. "It's a new term I've been throwing around in my head for a while now. One that will not only describe people with active X-Gene abilities like Liz, but also you all Johnny." I explained, pointing to him and the other members of the F4. "Because you would also be considered evolved humans, given how you developed and changed after being exposed to the cosmic rays that granted you your current abilities."
"Huh, that's actually quite ingenious." Reed commented.
"Thank you Reed." I replied.
Though I can't take all the credit, considering I stole the term from the television shows Heroes and Generator Rex from my previous life.
Both of which sadly don't exist here.
"Yeah, it is." Johnny agreed. "But admit it Peter, you just wanted a cool term to describe yourself." He said.
His words leading Ned, Harry, and Liz to look at me.
'God dammit Johnny!' I thought.
I then leapt towards him and punched him right in the balls "Cock shot!"
"Ugh!!!" Johnny screamed. Clutching his balls after I hit them. He then fell to his knees.
Putting a smile on my face at seeing this I then wiped it away as I turned to face the still curious looks from Harry, Gwen, and Ned.
"Um, Pete, what's going on?" Harry asked me.
When he did I sighed. "Well this isn't how I wanted to do this, but it seems Johnny's mouth, and my shit luck, aren't really giving me a choice here." I said. "Alright then. Here it is guys. You see the truth is I am Spider-Man."
When I said this the eyes of those three went wide in shock.
"What? Peter, are you serious right now? You're not just joking again are you?" Harry asked.
But before he could say another word I fired off some of my organic webbing and pulled a tool sitting on one of the work benches in the lab too me.
Then once I did this I did a backflip and landed feet first onto the wall behind me.
I then ran up to the very top of the ceiling before dropping down and landing in front of Harry.
"I'm not joking this time." I said. "I am Spider-Man." I reiterated.
"Holy shit!" Liz shouted, cursing since the first time we've met her.
But everybody gets one.
"This is so cool. One of my best friends is Spider-Man." Ned said.
"And on that note I'm Ghost-Spider." Gwen spoke, leading the others to turn towards her.
Even me.
"Well since we all know about Liz's powers, and Johnny couldn't keep his damn mouth shut, forcing Peter to reveal his secret, I figured I'd go ahead and tip the band-aid of my secret identity off as well."
"Oh, well this is just great." Harry mused. "Anyone else have a secret identity they would like to share?" He asked.
"Actually, I'm the new hero that just appeared, the Black Cat." Felicia revealed.
After she did Ned promptly passed out.
But before he hit the ground face first I moved and caught him in my arms.
"Boy, that was close." I said.
But at least now the secrets are out.
Now all of us can move forward together.
So maybe today isn't turning out too bad after all.
