The Brotherhood of Mutants are a group of mutants who believe that mutants are superior to humans. The group was formed by Eric Lehnsherr due to his belief that if mutants did not defend themselves, they would be wiped out by humans.

History
The original leader of the team was Magneto, a mutant with the ability to control magnetic fields. It would later be revealed that Magneto was a Holocaust survivor, explaining his distrust of humanity and its inability to accept those who are different.
X-Men: First Class
Magneto formed the Brotherhood after the Cuban Missile Crisis. The team consisted of him, Azazel, Riptide, Angel Salvadore, Mystique, and Emma Frost.
X-Men
In what could be seen as a precursor to the Brotherhood, Lehnsherr was assisted by Raven Darkholme, Toad and Sabretooth in attempt to mutate world leaders at a United Nations summit with a machine. When talking to Robert Kelly after his capture, Lehnsherr referred to mutation as a Brotherhood. When the group's attempt failed, the group disbanded. Lehnsherr and Darkholme were the only members of the group that would join the Brotherhood.
X2: X-Men United
The lineup was greatly reduced to Magneto and Mystique only. They teamed up with the X-Men in order to stop William Stryker from killing all of the world's mutants. However at the end of the film, they were joined by Pyro.
X-Men: The Last Stand
The Brotherhood was formed by Lehnsherr and John Allerdyce after the cure for mutation was announced by Worthington Labs. They were joined by Phat, Spike and The Omegas, a group of mutants consisting of Callisto, Quill, Psylocke, Arclight at a Mutant Community Action Meeting at the Holy Trinity Church. With the assistance of Callisto, Lehnsherr relocated Raven Darkholme, who had been arrested attempting to break into the FDA. Lehnsherr destroyed the all-but prisoner-transportation truck holding Darkholme and released her as well as James Madrox and Cain Marko. All three released mutants proceeded to join the Brotherhood. Jean Grey also joined the Brotherhood as Phoenix.
Team beliefs
- Homosapiens are inferior.
