Who is Magneto? Magneto Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, a mutant with the ability to control and manipulate magnetic fields and all forms of metal. Born to a Jewish family, he endured persecution and imprisonment in Auschwitz during World War II. After escaping in 1944, he began anew in Russia under the name Magnus, marrying Magda and fathering a daughter, Anya. However, a confrontation with a blackmailer led to his house being set ablaze, resulting in Anya’s death. This tragedy marked the first time Magneto publicly used his powers, as he killed everyone present. Later, he met and befriended Professor Charles Xavier, but their differing ideologies placed them on opposing sides. Magneto sees mutants as the next evolutionary step and therefore superior to humans. Acting as a terrorist in favor of mutants against humankind, Magneto formed the Brotherhood of Mutants to implement his supremacy, becoming a prominent adversary of the X-Men, Xavier’s students fighting for peaceful coexistence between mutant and humans. Exploring the Magneto statue: Metallic particles deform and fluidly mold under his power, forming the base at his feet. Rising to levitate, propelled by electromagnetic energy, one of the most powerful mutants on Earth stands ready. Often alternating between being one of the X-Men’s greatest enemies and one of their most valuable allies depending on the circumstances, he appears in his iconic crimson and purple attire, channeling his unique powers with his mind and directing them with gestures of his right hand.
