Name:Erik Magnus Lehnsherr
Codename: Magneto
Age: technically 83 years old
Gender: Male
Power:
Magneto has the ability to generate tremendously potent magnetic fields and to manipulate existing magnetic fields. He is thus able to levitate/control/move ferrous metals (iron, steel, etc.) and to achieve a wide range of other effects.
Because his personal magnetic field (i.e., the magnetic forces surrounding his own body) repels projectiles and absorbs energy attacks, Magneto is invulnerable to most harm when his personal field is active. His protective field has withstood forces as significant as the detonation of a nuclear warhead. He is also capable of personal levitation and sustained flight at high speeds, and can survive in the vacuum of deep space. He can also channel his magnetic powers through his own body so as to temporarily increase his strength, stamina, and agility to superhuman levels. Magneto has been depicted using his powers to levitate objects as heavy as a nuclear submarine; the maximum quantity of mass that he can levitate at one time is unknown. Magneto is able to perceive the world around him as patterns of electromagnetic energy, and can perceive the electrical auras given off by living beings. He has demonstrated the ability to produce electricity as well as electromagnetic radiation. A few times Magneto has demonstrated the capacity to produce a wormhole, and to safely teleport himself and others by means of the wormhole. Magneto's ability to wield his powers effectively is dependent upon his physical condition; when severely injured, his body is unable to withstand the strain of generating strong magnetic fields.
Magneto has been consistently and frequently depicted as possessing the ability to resist all but the strongest or most unexpected telepathic attacks. During the Secret Wars Charles Xavier described Magneto as a latent telepath, and Magneto assisted Xavier in a joint act of telepathy. In his early appearances, Magneto was able to engage in astral projection.
Magneto is also a genius with competence in various fields of advanced science, especially in genetic manipulation, engineering, and other fields of technology. He has invented advanced weaponry, space stations, and intelligent superhuman lifeforms. Magneto is also a master strategist and has had extensive combat training, though he prefers to use his powers in combat situations.
Personality: Magneto is a brilliant man that tries to help mutants in his own ways. He is calculating and calm most of the time but every so often his temper gets the better of him,
History:
Born Max Eisenhardt in Germany in late 1925 or 1926, Magneto and his family are persecuted for being Jewish, and are shot by the Nazis and buried in a mass grave. Magnus manages to survive, only to be captured and sent to Auschwitz to work in the Sonderkommando. While in Auschwitz, Magnus reunites with a Roma girl named Magda, with whom he had fallen in love and with whom he escapes the prison camp. Magnus and Magda marry several years later and a daughter, Anya, is born. After moving his family to the Soviet city of Vinnitsa, Magnus' daughter Anya is killed in a fire, while a mob of people prevents him from rescuing her. Enraged, the young Magneto's powers manifest uncontrollably, killing the mob and destroying a part of Vinnitsa. Magda is terrified and she flees, discovering months later she is pregnant again. Magda will give birth to the mutant twins Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch. Shortly after Magda's disappearance, Magnus is hunted for the deaths in Vinnitsa, while attempting to search for his former wife, thus forcing him to pay a renowned forger, Georg Odekirk, to create the cover identity of "Erik Lehnsherr the Sinte gypsy" for him.
Magnus meets Charles Xavier while working at a psychiatric hospital near Haifa, Israel. There, lengthy debates are held by the two regarding the consequences humanity faces with the rise of mutants, though neither reveals to the other that they both in fact possess mutant powers. However, they are forced to reveal their inherent abilities to one another, while facing Baron Von Strucker and HYDRA. Following the battle, Magneto leaves, realizing that his and Xavier's views are incompatible, with a cache of hidden Nazi gold, which provides initial financing for his various enterprises.
Magneto's experience in the Auschwitz concentration camp shapes his outlook on the situation that mutants face in the world. Determined to keep such atrocities from ever being committed against mutant-kind, he is willing to use deadly force to protect mutants. He believes that mutants will become the dominant life form on the planet. However, he constantly wavers between wanting peaceful existence with Homo sapiens and wanting to enforce his superiority over all humanity.
He eventually got his hands on some of a military drug called Rebirth, used to give Captain America his special abilities. This drug gave him back his youth and vitality.
