Magneto (Erik Lehnsherr) is the Master of Magnetism, a Holocaust survivor who became the most formidable mutant villain — and sometimes ally — in Marvel history. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963, Erik's trauma drives his conviction that mutants must dominate humans before humans exterminate them. His ideological clash with Charles Xavier — violence versus peace — mirrors real-world debates about civil rights and the ethics of resistance, giving him extraordinary moral complexity.
