Magneto
First Appearance: 1963
Identity: Erik Lehnsherr
Raised in concentration camps at Auschwitz after losing his parents, who were killed by the Nazis during World War II, Magneto is a mutant who discovers he has the power to control magnetism, effectively becoming one of the most powerful mutants on Earth. Due to his past experiences, he develops the idea of defending mutants at the expense of the human race, which he considers inferior. This puts him at odds with the ideas of his friend Charles Xavier, who was advocating for coexistence with humans. This leads the two to clash, and Magneto becomes the nemesis of the X-Men for many years. Lately, he has taken on more of an antihero role.
