Posted by: Nick on December 11, 2024 at 06:13 PM CST
Magneto Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, a mutant with the ability to control and manipulate magnetic fields and all forms of metal. Born to a Jewish family, he endured persecution and imprisonment in Auschwitz during World War II. After escaping in 1944, he began anew in Russia under the name Magnus, marrying Magda and fathering a daughter, Anya. However, a confrontation with a blackmailer led to his house being set ablaze, resulting in Anya’s death. This tragedy marked the first time Magneto publicly used his powers, as he killed everyone present. Later, he met and befriended Professor Charles Xavier, but their differing ideologies placed them on opposing sides. Magneto sees mutants as the next evolutionary step and therefore superior to humans. Acting as a terrorist in favor of mutants against humankind, Magneto formed the Brotherhood of Mutants to implement his supremacy, becoming a prominent adversary of the X-Men, Xavier's students fighting for peaceful coexistence between mutant and humans.
