:: PERSONALITY ::
Erik is considered to be an extremist human hating monster by most. He is in fact an extremely intelligent man who keeps the human race honest. He’s been stated to be very imposing despite his frail appearance. Maybe it’s his powers but he doesn’t just needlessly flaunt them.
He is very articulate and does his best to choose the best words for any given situation. He is not the trusting type due to a traumatic childhood and when you’re as old as he is you can hear the same evil ambitions in people despite how they fashion it up. He also has a strategic mind which he is constantly honing by playing Chess.
Many have seen him as a tolerant and kind teacher. He has taken many mutants under his wing and taught them to control their powers. Because of this he has a strong following of supporters. He has taken quiet pride in watching his pupils become the capable adults that they are.
He spends any free time reading. He spends many days thinking how if things had been different he might have just been an old intellectual spending his days arguing politics, philosophy, or religion with others. He mourns the loss of Charles Xavier and proclaimed it as the single greatest loss of his time.

:: MUTATION ::
- :: Master of Magnetism ::
Magneto has had a very long time to hone his abilities. He has control over magnetic fields which gives him a very vast level of control over ferrous and nonferrous metals. He can even reach into subatomic levels of control but this is a heavy burden on his physical body. He can use metals and bend them with relative ease and bond them together just as easily. He can focus his electromagnetic power into photons and shoot it as a projectile from his hands but this too also takes a great toll on his body.- :: Flight ::
He uses his control over electromagnetic fields to levitate his body. This is almost second nature to him almost as easy as breathing.
"Living from day to day, moving from place to place, with no memory of who or what you are."
:: History ::
He was born Max Eisenhardt in Germany. His life was altered fairly early on when the Nazi Party came about and began hunting Jews. Max was brought to a Concentration Camp with his family. They rooted out his parents and promptly murdered in front of him. His powers manifested whilst trying to save his Mother. He was knocked out from behind and later tested on by the Nazi’s. He managed to escape with use of his powers.
He had no clue how he managed to do what he did but he never questioned it. He didn’t use his powers again as to not bring any unwanted attention to himself as he wandered the countryside to escape Nazi controlled territories. He eventually took up residence in a small town under a new name. He from this moment on called himself Erik Magnus Lehnsherr.
He was taken in by a family in Ukraine who would hide him like so many were doing for escaping Jews. He was put to work in their store and found love with their oldest daughter Magda. Life was calm and quiet for a while before the Nazi’s came calling again. They lined the all the men in town up to be shot if they didn’t give up any refugee’s being hidden. Magnus revealed himself as a mutant to the city when he destroyed the Nazi’s guns, tank, and vehicles.
The men fleed for their lives and upon their retreat the town turned on Erik and chased him out of the village. Magda chased after him but he told her to return home. He would return to her someday when the world was ready to accept him. He continued on travelling eventually moving to Israel and working for a Psychiatric Ward. He befriended Charles Xavier there where they spent their evenings having philosophical conversations regarding humanity and how it would react to mutants.
The two separated and went their own ways. Eventually he began taking on other mutants who were alone wandering, struggling to survive. As more and more mutants began springing up he eventually took his first terrorist strike at America when talks began about putting mutants into camps for their “safety.” He saw this as the first step to enslaving or worse the eventual genecide of the mutant race. He spent the next couple years making attacks on military installations all over the world.
He would eventually return to find Magda. Spending just one more night with her but his hate for humankind could not keep him there. He left her again. She would not see him again except on the news or in the papers as a enemy to human kind. She had known him for the strong, intelligent man that he was.
After his assault on San Francisco and Worthington Labs he has kept under the radar. His powers slowly returning to his aged body. It is unknown what he will do have spent so much time as a human and keeping under the radar to avoid any jail time for his past crimes.
