Magneto

About

Magneto, born Erik Lehnsherr, is a powerful mutant in the X-Men series. His abilities allow him to control magnetic fields, making him one of the most formidable figures in the Marvel universe. His backstory is marked by tragedy, having survived the Holocaust as a child, which profoundly shaped his worldview and actions. This traumatic experience instilled in him a determination to protect mutants from suffering similar persecution, often leading him to extreme measures. Magneto's complex character evolves over time, transitioning from a villain to an antihero and sometimes ally of the X-Men. He is driven by a belief in mutant superiority and has led the Brotherhood of Mutants in efforts to assert mutant dominance. Despite his harsh methods, Magneto's motivations are rooted in a desire to safeguard his kind, making him both a compelling and sympathetic figure. His relationships with other characters, particularly Professor X, highlight the ideological conflicts within the mutant community.
