magneto is such a fascinating character with an internal struggle that is going on in him, his relationship with charles is simply astounding to watch. michael fassbender, ian mckellen did such a great job playing magneto
It’s a shame that after succeeding with First class and days of future past - in part to Fassbender reinvigorating Magneto - fox once again screwed things up with apocalypse and then dark phoenix
I like Magneto rather because he's by far and away Marvel's best written character (not just villain, but character). He's such a believable person when handled by a decent writer that even as a villain, he really isn't very villainous, but sympathetic.
Love magneto! That bar scene in first class where he stabs a knife into the man's hand and then forces it into another guys stomach only to pull it back towards him and stab it back into the guys hand
Magneto and Dr Doom are my top 2 marvel villains. Both have tragic backstories, well-meaning goals and moments of going too far to accomplish said goals
Magneto is correct. Ideals-wise, but maybe murdering everyone isn't the answer. Charles is what I call the 'Batman' in this situation. So caught up in his ideals that mutants can co exist with humans that he goes blind with the death of his kind around him. Sometimes, idealism loses to being realistic.
Magneto is misinformed. If Xavier's the "Batman" of this situation, then Magneto is the "Joker" because he's giving the humans every excuse to hate all mutants. His ideals of mutant supremacy are what led to an army of Sentinels killing of every mutant on Earth so it is his fault that Xavier never saw his ideals come to fruition.
i like what they did with magneto within the movies in terms of his relationship with charles. The whole complex of the balance between his anger and serenity being what would keep his powers optimal as well as himself, charles grew close with him because of their time together. Later of course being heartbroken at his choices later on, i find it interesting how they made him a sympathetic villian whos goals were mislead by his vengeful philosophy.
Magneto is probably the only mutant that i would want to be. Lifting whole stadium or bridges, how badass is that. Think of all the work you could do... by sitting in your chair! :D You could work as pilot, flying planes without fuel or in construction site, sending spacecrafts into space. Ah, i could dream about it all day :)
Lau Jie She cannot transform metal like magneto, imagine the art you could do :) also i dont think she can move as big objects as magneto. I dont know much about her.
bandzajus Magneto will always be my favorite marvel character, I don't like the heroes. Imagine crushing your enemy's car, controlling the bus you're riding on by floating fast to your destination when you're late and all that stuff
Magneto's real powers are hard to find. His true powers are insane. He can gather the iron in your bloodstream and put it out (like being shot from the inside out) he can create magneto shields surrounding himself and protecting him from anything. And even has telekinetic and telepathic abilities. He is my favorite of all Xmen characters. He can manipulate metal on the scale of atoms. He is a fucking beast.
Elias Wewel Ultimate's interpretation of him was an insult to the character, and the way they killed him off was an insult to the readers. He litterally gave up all his beliefs and stopped trying to fight just because Nick Fury - played by Samuel L Jackson - told him Mutants were created by humans in a lab and were not the result of evolution then sat there as Cyclops blasted his head off. It was stupid all round.
just watched X-men Apocalypse I was so emotionally attached to his lost of his wife and daughter.. I think he is not a villian but just so damn broken about his past from his parents to his family..
I Hate The Haters yeah, the fact that the X-men detached from the Marvel universe is the reason why both the X-men franchise and Marvel cinematic universe's continuities don't make sense, Quicksilver's still alive in the X-men franchise, but his sister, the Scarlet Witch dies at a young age along with her mother in X-men:Apocalypse while Quicksilver gets killed by Ultron in Avengers:Age of Ultron while Scarlet Witch still lives long enough to take Captain America's side in Captain America:Civil War, what point is there to all that?
If you think about it, the Fassbender Magneto is correct: he uses the evidence available to arrive at his conclusion. And the evidence is pretty damning. In fact, Xavier is just an idiotic ideologue in those films, expecting mutants to do nothing even when people are trying to kill them because "peace", to accept the torture and murder of their people. Meanwhile, Magneto only attacks after being attacked, or after the gov decides to build weapons specifically to kill mutants. Designated hero and designated villain if I've seen those.
Gani Ibraimi there is a difference between a villain and an anti-hero. An anti-hero will, more often than not, fight for the greater good, with questionable methods. A villain will do things for reasons usually most beneficial to himself/herself, sometimes including other like-minded people when it comes to the reward.
The DMatch Most don't lump him in the villain category, I don't think he enjoys what he does but he has to eat planets in order to survive. That's really like saying most predators are villainous for hunting and killing various game even though if they didn't they'd die of starvation.
ASaiyanNamedMalcolm He is definitely the most complex villain. The Master of Magnetism is perhaps my favourite villain ever, even though he is more of an anti-villain now.
I like how despite their different views, Erick/Magneto still cares about Charles and vice versa. I also like how despite this frustration to the human race, from time to time he has done feats to save humans. He has also shown to be willing to allow humans on Astroid M as guests.
Even though Magneto and Proffesor X are enemies and have totaly different causes and motivations,they never stoped seeing eachother as friends.That is what I love most about these two.
Madhira Vagmi Why did I get notified here? I don't see a comment I made here, I haven't thumbed anyone up, maybe I did comment & you deleted it? anyways Magneto is an Antivillian.
I don't know why, but the mainstream friendship between Charles and Magneto is so... unique and somehow heartwarming. I mean... yes, they are enemies, but yet they can rely on each other if necessary... well, at least for a while! :D It would be like Batman and the Joker... if Joker was a vigilante!
Best character in marvel comics. Maybe the best in all comics. Magneto's distrust of humanity and single-minded mission to defend mutant kind by any mean required is completely understandable. Particularly, considering his back story. Such extreme belief in a cause coupled with a power level that is great enough to take down someone as mighty as Apocalypse gives Magneto the power to single-handedly crush most threats to his cause. When written properly, the master of magnetism's adventures are joy for we the reader.
If I was a mutant, I'd join Magneto's crew...I won't kill though. Just fuxk with them lol The Idea of "They can't make peace among themselves" is veryyyy true.
Yeah I didn't like the way he was portrayed in the first 3 X-Men movies, he was too evil and heartless. Like when he refuses to help Mystique after she loses her Mutant powers, saying "You're not one of us anymore". The Magneto from the comics would still treat her as one of his own, regardless.
This might sound absurd but Magneto is my favorite marvel character ....... he might not be the strongest or most badass but I like his darkness and I find his actions highly justified ..... he is a man with ideals
"We are much alike, you and I, Magneto, both of us wish to see our master race inherit the earth! You call my fuerher barbaric? Am I mistaken or did you yourself not kill hundreds of men by sinking a submarine a few years back? To help achieve your minority group's destiny would you balk at the imprisonment of inferiors? The extermination of the unfit? Come, come Magneto. Do not expect me to be impressed by your sanctimonious posturings of moral superiority!"-The Red Skull
I really enjoy the character, and he's one of my favorite comic book villains. Despite how intriguing his backstory is, however, ai found Magneto: Testament to be quite dusappointing. It got the intensity of the Holocaust right, but as8de from hints like Max throwing metal javelins better than any peer or finding gold coins out of the gutters with ease, his powers aren't demonstrated. It could've easily been a self-contained story if you changed the names.
magneto is great... I'm still waiting for reme le bo to make a come back in the movies, he's only in the first wolverine movie. gambit is awesome, we need more!!!
slab of beef for the ladies, that's about it really, ha ha. I don't know though, he might pull it off, I'd like to stay optimistic. Who do you think would have played a better Gambit?

I think the best way to fix Magneto character and introduce him in the MCU is by connecting him to Wolverine and Captain America.Having Captain America save Magneto from a concentration camp.Magneto would thank both Captain America and Wolverine for saving his life but his parents would already lose their lives due to the war that had already began with many being slaughtered.Magneto would be pursued by H.Y.D.R.A wanting to experiment on his genes and activate to mutant gene to the rest of the world leading to the wide spreading of mutants across the planet.Magneto would later escape and kill most of the guards who were holding him.Magneto would also free the mother of both Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch leading to them becoming romantically involved.Magneto would change his name to avoid detection by H.Y.D.R.A and leave to another country.While serving in the Korean War he would meet Charles Xavier and would become close friends but Eric’s views on the human world and their principals would turn them into enemies.Eric would also lose Magda who after hearing the news of him deserting his unit would refuse to be around a man who would do such a thing.Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch would be captured by H.Y.D.R.A and their X-Gene would be activated through experimentation.
I had this funny idea for a What If… scenario: What if Magneto was rescued by Captain America His outlook on humanity would change and he and Xavier would still be friends Though this could mean he never would adopt Quicksilver and Scartlet Witch and form the Brotherhood of Mutants
"you're fool, Charles. Look at them. They can't even make peace with each other."
Sadly, that's true.
MisterGenesis64AK Mutants can't eather.
@Dante The Demon Slayer very much agreed
Same goes to the mutants.
The Master of Magnetism has lines .

One of those villains that you would understand why he became a villain. My favorite.
magneto is such a fascinating character with an internal struggle that is going on in him, his relationship with charles is simply astounding to watch.
michael fassbender, ian mckellen did such a great job playing magneto
Magento is the best, especially with Michael Fassbender.
Moon and Ian McKellen, don't forget about Ian McKellen
It’s a shame that after succeeding with First class and days of future past - in part to Fassbender reinvigorating Magneto - fox once again screwed things up with apocalypse and then dark phoenix
I like Magneto rather because he's by far and away Marvel's best written character (not just villain, but character). He's such a believable person when handled by a decent writer that even as a villain, he really isn't very villainous, but sympathetic.
Ian McKellen plays him perfectly no matter how old he is and what he portrayed will always be my definitive origin of Magneto
Arkham Knight Micheal Fassbender also does a pretty good job too.
1LIFEtoWIN Of course but I prefer Ian more because he played the role first and true to his character.
Arkham Knight I will BRING you hope old friend...We are the future, Charles, not them. They no longer matter.
Arkham Knight you got that right, at this point, Magneto is supposed to be old
Arkham Knight I think Ian Mckellen fit the roll perfectly since he is a very good actor
Love magneto! That bar scene in first class where he stabs a knife into the man's hand and then forces it into another guys stomach only to pull it back towards him and stab it back into the guys hand
Hands down my FAVORITE marvel character, HE NEEDS A MOVIE
Facts
Magneto and Dr Doom are my top 2 marvel villains. Both have tragic backstories, well-meaning goals and moments of going too far to accomplish said goals
heard the reason he stopped wearing purple was because days of fuschia passed
Uncle jokes lol still made me laugh on the phone inside
*silence*
Fuschia ?
Magneto is correct. Ideals-wise, but maybe murdering everyone isn't the answer. Charles is what I call the 'Batman' in this situation.

Chris Sorreda no . X`S team`s alive

Jean has telekinesis, she can move everything including metal. So magneto is not as powerful as jean and jean also has the phoenix force.
Lau Jie
She cannot transform metal like magneto, imagine the art you could do :) also i dont think she can move as big objects as magneto. I dont know much about her.
bandzajus i forgot about the reshaping metal thing
bandzajus Magneto will always be my favorite marvel character, I don't like the heroes. Imagine crushing your enemy's car, controlling the bus you're riding on by floating fast to your destination when you're late and all that stuff
*****
no, i would rather use those abilities to help world, not destroy it
Magento has always been one of favorite X men villains the times he put Wolverine in really tough situations in the comics🦹🦹
Magneto's real powers are hard to find. His true powers are insane. He can gather the iron in your bloodstream and put it out (like being shot from the inside out) he can create magneto shields surrounding himself and protecting him from anything. And even has telekinetic and telepathic abilities. He is my favorite of all Xmen characters. He can manipulate metal on the scale of atoms. He is a fucking beast.
Magneto as straight up villain and he and no complex friendship between him and Charles? Ultimate Magneto must really suck.
He tried to flood the earth (the event this happened in killed several dozen characters), he was an asshole
Elias Wewel cyclops decapitated him with an optic blast to the head. then quicksilver killed cyclops by ramming a bullet into his head.
Elias Wewel Ultimate's interpretation of him was an insult to the character, and the way they killed him off was an insult to the readers. He litterally gave up all his beliefs and stopped trying to fight just because Nick Fury - played by Samuel L Jackson - told him Mutants were created by humans in a lab and were not the result of evolution then sat there as Cyclops blasted his head off.

I don't know why, but in the movies, I think Magneto's more of an anti-hero
He is villainthat means an anti hero
No they're not synonymous
netherthor 23 he's been portrayed as more of an anti-hero in the more recent comics as well
Gani Ibraimi there is a difference between a villain and an anti-hero. An anti-hero will, more often than not, fight for the greater good, with questionable methods. A villain will do things for reasons usually most beneficial to himself/herself, sometimes including other like-minded people when it comes to the reward.
***** debatable.
Best Marvel villain besides Doom
***** I like Galactus
The DMatch Most don't lump him in the villain category, I don't think he enjoys what he does but he has to eat planets in order to survive. That's really like saying most predators are villainous for hunting and killing various game even though if they didn't they'd die of starvation.
***** Apocalypse, Kingpin and Mr. Sinister, and your list is complete
ASaiyanNamedMalcolm Magneto is a badass , & a complex 3-dimensional character, he just may be Marvel's best Villain, but Venom is still my favorite.
ASaiyanNamedMalcolm He is definitely the most complex villain. The Master of Magnetism is perhaps my favourite villain ever, even though he is more of an anti-villain now.
He got the greatest power and but he didn't use it for great responsibility.
The design of suit is freaking cool too with Purple and red costume plus the Helmet kinda Op🧲🧲.
He's my favorite Avenger from Suicide Squad!
Horrible troll Dick
Me too
It's amazing that he's still alive. ;)
Richard At The Movies Personally he's my favorite batman side kick
Yea but that spiderman cameo
he probably has one of, if not the best super villain origin
I love magneto! Him and dr x remind me of mlk and malcom x. Same goal different paths
Magneto and Charles still remain friend after everything.
I like how despite their different views, Erick/Magneto still cares about Charles and vice versa. I also like how despite this frustration to the human race, from time to time he has done feats to save humans. He has also shown to be willing to allow humans on Astroid M as guests.
I love how this video is in superhero origins
Even though Magneto and Proffesor X are enemies and have totaly different causes and motivations,they never stoped seeing eachother as friends.That is what I love most about these two.
Magneto is one of my favorite supervillains of all time
Magneto is my second favorite comic book character, first being Wolverine
Magneto, he may be a supervillain, but at the same time he's not
SuperGodzilla2 he`s god
Madhira Vagmi Why did I get notified here? I don't see a comment I made here, I haven't thumbed anyone up, maybe I did comment & you deleted it? anyways Magneto is an Antivillian.
Magneto is one of my favorite villains who somehow reformed, along with Darth Vader....Magneto!
Both actors are perfect for playing Magneto.
Magneto is one of the best marvel villains in comics and movies. He's one of my favorite villains that I can root for
I don't know why, but the mainstream friendship between Charles and Magneto is so... unique and somehow heartwarming.
I mean... yes, they are enemies, but yet they can rely on each other if necessary... well, at least for a while! :D
It would be like Batman and the Joker... if Joker was a vigilante!
OLBICHL jokr fuks bats
Madhira Vagmi Better love story than twilight!
team Magnus I fully agree with magneto because you can't go around kicking people down and not expect them to rise up
Hell yeah I'm a magneto fan!

Magneto is the best character from all of Marvel
Magneto is badass, I like him better when he fights with the X-Men
CosmicUndeadElf yeah, I like when he fights alongside with the good guys
Yeah I didn't like the way he was portrayed in the first 3 X-Men movies, he was too evil and heartless. Like when he refuses to help Mystique after she loses her Mutant powers, saying "You're not one of us anymore". The Magneto from the comics would still treat her as one of his own, regardless.
He's my one of my favorite mutants after Storm ,Phoenix,Psylocke.But Storm my favorite.
yep, Magneto is really cool!
This might sound absurd but Magneto is my favorite marvel character ....... he might not be the strongest or most badass but I like his darkness and I find his actions highly justified ..... he is a man with ideals

He has a DC counterpart in Iron Butterfly aka Kahina Eskandari and Static aka Virgil Ovid Hawkins

Yay, bucket head!
He was voiced by Christopher Judge in the X-Men Evolution cartoon.
Had some great fights with magneto and doom in marvel vs capcom
Michael Fassbender as Magneto is fucking awesome.
I'm a big fan of Magneto!
omggg I always love magneto so so much!!
Love the character. :)
The Ultimate universe shit all over Magneto. The writers didn't understand anything about what made him such a compelling character.
magneto is probably more of an extremist then a true villain
Realistically, Magneto should be way more powerful than he actually is, if he has control over electromagnism
Y'all should do a super villain origins for the reverse flash
My favourite villain of all time!!
DAMMIT MARVEL WHEN ARE WE GETTING X-MEN VS THE AVENGERS?!?!
"Who will you stand with, the humans....or us?"
Magneto is more of a anti hero than a actual villain, in my eyes!
+dakentaijutsu2010 Magneto is an anti-villain.
He is right, humanity could never accept mutants, unless they are forced to
Jake Bryant no he's wrong
I like to think of Magneto as the Malcolm X to Professor X's Dr. King.
I would love to see you guys do an origins of Miss America Chavez
He is my favourite character in the whole Marvel!
Was there ANY doubt that the Master Of Magnetism would also get a reboot of his origin profile too?
magneto is great... I'm still waiting for reme le bo to make a come back in the movies, he's only in the first wolverine movie. gambit is awesome, we need more!!!
slab of beef for the ladies, that's about it really, ha ha. I don't know though, he might pull it off, I'd like to stay optimistic. Who do you think would have played a better Gambit?
*Magneto is so cool*
Now they need to expand on Xorn.
MAGNETO is the Marvel version of Darth Vader and Malcolm X! Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!

I think the best way to fix Magneto character and introduce him in the MCU is by connecting him to Wolverine and Captain America.Having Captain America save Magneto from a concentration camp.Magneto would thank both Captain America and Wolverine for saving his life but his parents would already lose their lives due to the war that had already began with many being slaughtered.Magneto would be pursued by H.Y.D.R.A wanting to experiment on his genes and activate to mutant gene to the rest of the world leading to the wide spreading of mutants across the planet.Magneto would later escape and kill most of the guards who were holding him.Magneto would also free the mother of both Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch leading to them becoming romantically involved.Magneto would change his name to avoid detection by H.Y.D.R.A and leave to another country.While serving in the Korean War he would meet Charles Xavier and would become close friends but Eric’s views on the human world and their principals would turn them into enemies.Eric would also lose Magda who after hearing the news of him deserting his unit would refuse to be around a man who would do such a thing.Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch would be captured by H.Y.D.R.A and their X-Gene would be activated through experimentation.
I had this funny idea for a What If… scenario:
What if Magneto was rescued by Captain America
His outlook on humanity would change and he and Xavier would still be friends
Though this could mean he never would adopt Quicksilver and Scartlet Witch and form the Brotherhood of Mutants
if i had to chose a side i would join magneto.
he is a Hero, fools!
Despite differences, I like him.
One of the greatest antiheroes
