Trivia[]
- In the comics, Erik Lehnsherr, born Max Eisenhardt, is a mutant who happens to be the X-Men's greatest adversary and the leader of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. He has the power to use his hands to magnetically control and move almost anything such as metal.
- In 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series, Erik Lehnsherr is a man of Jewish descent who was a Holocaust victim as a child. Discovering Lehnsherr's magnetic abilities, Sebastian Shaw forced Lehnsherr to hone his powers, killing his own mother as motivation. Due to this, Lehnsherr grew up with a crusade to kill all people involved. As he was targeting Shaw, Lehnsherr met another mutant named Charles Xavier. The two created the first team of X-Men, but Lehnsherr soon left and took some mutants with him. Magneto would put his beliefs of mutants first, causing him to go against mutants like Wolverine and Jean Grey. As Magneto grew older, he took on the X-Men many times until the mutant cure was used against him. Now a civilian, Lehnsherr wished for his powers to come back only to find they had. He then teamed up with the X-Men one last time to go back to the past and stop the Sentinels from being created. In the new altered timeline, he revealed the existence of mutantkind publicly during the 1970s and briefly teamed up with Apocalypse in the 1980s. He reunited with Xavier and the X-Men in the early 1990s, where they came to a peaceful accord.
Behind the Scenes[]
- Due to most other members of the Resistance being confirmed to be from Marvel Legacy universes, the Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki is operating on the basis that this Magneto is the same version from 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series, who was portrayed by Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender with Brett Morris and Bill Milner as a child Erik Lehnsherr.
