Personal File

Dress Style:Magneto wears his maroon suit with a simple cape behind. While in public, he wheres a simple suit with tie and fedora.

Personality: Magneto is a leader, through and through. His presence exudes authority. His mannerisms show a quiet respect for those around him, while still condescending to them. He has a stubborn ideology about him, a coldness to those that would hate him. Some would say that he has an excess feeling for grandeur, but he wants nothing more than to raise his brothers and sisters to their rightful place as gods amongst men.

Magneto will stop at nothing to get what he needs done. His temper is rather long, but once let free, the effects are disastrous to those around. With the amount of power that he's been given, he has quite a feeling of superiority to those that are around him. Something about having the ability to turn a city on it's head has given him a bit of confidence.

Likes: Classical Music, Chess, Apples

Dislikes: Humans, Teenagers who are disrespectful, wasted talent

History: Erik Lensherr was born into a Jewish family, raised by his mother and father until the ripe age of 12. This was when his family was separated for the concentration camps by the Nazis. the first time his power manifested was by bending the gate inward on itself trying to get to his mother. Erik was quickly placed into study at the concentration camps, given only a slight bit more luxury than one of those inside the camp. Shaw of course pulling the strings, trying to make Magneto into the killer weapon that he so desired.

Magneto managed to be freed from the concentration camps, and set to trying to find his purpose in the world, killing various Nazi leaders, trying to find the one who had tormented him, never finding him. Upon his travels though, he found a fellow mutant by the name of Charles Xavier. The two had a rocky friendship at best to start with, but Charles had a dream to teach Mutants about their powers to better be prepared for the world. The two friends worked together for this goal until Xavier's manor in New York was built, transforming it into the fortress that it is known for today.

Xavier's mind and Magneto's power and expertise came together to create Cerebro, a machine able to find any mutant in the world. Erik hoped to use the machine to find the elusive Shaw, but of course Charles didn't believe in vengeance and lied to his friend to keep him from attacking. Finding that Shaw must be dead, Erik continued training the students with Xavier. The years went by though, and a schizm grew between the friends. Charles believed that humans and mutants could live together peacefully, Erik of course believed that a war was coming and they were preparing for it.

Thanks to the disagreement, Magneto left the school and started one of his own. During one mission that they faced each other, a bullet deflected by Magneto lodged into Charles. Never wanting harm to come to his friend, he extracted the bullet and took the blame on the humans that had shot at him.

The years continued to pass, Magneto biding his time, performing various attempts to get the humans on shaky grounds, even once trying to transform them into the very thing he held so high, attempting to convert all the Humans into Mutants. The attempt failed though, thanks to the efforts of the Xmen.

He was then captured, released by Mystique, started an army, was injected with the cure, and overcame it. He then relocated to the island of Genosha to start his war again, his old followers going to Genosha, the haven of Mutantkind.
