You said you can't continue this. I have an idea but I'm not a writer. What if the job interview he's going to is with the Stargate group?

Good luck with that idea.

PS:
Oh poo, I see others have already had the same idea. Oh well, good luck anyway.

oh come on..... your excuse is hes too strong???? how is he too strong for the sg1 world... i mean seriously....they battle in spaceships... you could have made so that because of the shields he couldnt manipulate metal or something....or just because spaceships are too big and the distance in a battle so it still would have been reasonable normal with an powered and smarter xander!!!!!!

I really really wish there were more of this story.

im not really seeing how xander is super xander with magnetos powers since in canon willow had way more power than that as a witch.

Yes, Magneto is one of the more powerful mutants in the Marvel Universe; however, he is not the most powerful. Glory was a Hell Goddess....if she were redone in the Buffy comics, where her powers weren't constrained by a limited tv budget...she'd be much more powerful than shown...especially, once the portal was closed and she feels no reason to hold back anymore. Also, the wormhole technology he sold. Imagine if it connected to the Marvel Universe and someone like Onslaught or Thanos came through....or what if he wasn't the only one to retain everything of their costume. What if Warren dressed as Dr. Victor Von Doom?

i hope you continue this story

if this idea ever haunts you again, you could always go with the whole " supernatural/mutant powers dissolving over time, while the memories stay the same" routine...either way, your a wonderful writer, and I look forward too seeing more of your updates...particularly the poker game story....I always seem to reread that when I'm in the mood for something good.

I don't see how you've made Xander too powerfull. If you look at the original Magneto, Xander is WAY under-powered.

That said I really liked the first story and still like this story, if you're not going to finish it could you put it up for adoption?

This just begs for more and it was completely evil leaving it with no idea of his possibly classified job interview. Please tell me that there will be more...I am willing to beg?

I know you aren't continuing this but if you did, you could easily put in into SGC, the wormhole things was a good foreshadowing. I could see his intelligence becoming an asset there. I could also see Willow working to bring Buffy back but only if she checked and found she was in some kind of pergetory hell dimension that felt like heaven but wasn't known to Willow.

I could also see Xander getting a call from NCIS while the interview was ending. I do wonder if he could control Naqahdah and if so how that might give the Tok'ra and Goa'uld the ebbijeebies.

I think the fic and the last one are really good story line and seem to be leading into a great plot with lots of humor and action, not to mention drama.
If only you'd continue it...

I'd like to comment on you thinking that Xander is too powerful. If you read some of the first X-men comics you'll find that the power level that you have Xander at is actually lower then Magneto's was.

Another thing you could try is to say that Xander overstrained himself when he did in Glory and 'burned out' whatever remained of his X gene, thus removing Magneto's power again, or at least toning it down to a reasonable level. After all Magneto lost his powers a couple of times in the comics, at least temporarily :)

Wow... this was really good. I am sorry you feel you can't continue it though. Major tease!

Oh well. Just keep writing other stories that are fascinating!

I can understand you not wanting to write this further, it's a bit of a hard sell to make a story without combat and still have challenges.

I can understand not continuing the story. When a character gets that powerful there really isn't any challenge for them without going overboard. Have you considered a rewrite of the first story and not give him the power just the memories and stick closer to the time line of the series. With just the knowledge as put forth in the story he would be able to be a creditable threat, he doesn't need the extra power to be scary.
