Owner's Description

“Whispers on the Wind” A mysterious man arrives at an orphanage and displays strange magnetic powers before passing out from exhaustion. He awakens later to find himself tied to a bed, with a woman calling herself Sister Maria offering him food and drink. He has amnesia but, in the back of his mind, he feels he has a dark secret. Sister Maria allows him to stay until he is well enough to travel and he accepts her kind offer. A week later, he shaves off his long white beard and is shown to be a somehow younger version of Magneto, and Sister Maria suspects this to be the case. He grows fond of the children and they feel the same way, and he remains at the orphanage, helping Sister Maria work the land while receiving spiritual help in return. One day, his powers come to the attention of Colonel Ramos, who has Sister Maria and the children kidnapped by his criminal associates, hoping to use this as leverage to make Joseph work for him. His plan doesn’t work, and Joseph instead uses his powers to force Colonel Ramos to tell him where the children are. He arrives at an old church, where the children in the basement hear a commotion above. Sister Maria knows Joseph has arrived to save them but, as she and the children leave the basement with him, they see the retribution Joseph has wreaked on their captors. Everyone is shocked and he sees their disappointment, deciding to leave the following morning. Sister Maria explains that the children will forget and he doesn’t have to go, but he does so anyway, heading to America to discover his past. <br />The front cover has an alternative title for this issue: If Sins Be Forgiven. <br /><br />Joseph and Sister Maria de la Joya were introduced briefly in X-Men (2nd series) #46. <br /><br />It was not specified where exactly the orphanage was in this issue but, in Uncanny X-Men #345, it was revealed to be near the village of Las Lisas, Guatemala. The full name of the orphanage is The Holy Sepulchre Orphanage. <br /><br />Migdalia was misspelled Magdalia at one point, but her name is Migdalia. <br /><br />The story is really told in flashback, with Sister Maria telling the story to father Helcio. <br />No X-Men actually appear in the issue. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
