Magneto: The master of magnetism Appreciation 2022

[Lucyinthesky]

Welcome to the threat to appreciate the lights and shadows of Magneto: the Master of Magnetism( aka Max Eisenhardt/ Erik Lehnsherr/Grey king/White Pilgrim)

known by many names, Magneto is a powerful mutant who walks on gray areas to protect his race as the master of magnetism.

“I am no hero. Merely a man who has seen and done and endured what can never be forgotten or forgiven.”

– Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 #196

"What if, instead of War, we made something else?"

- Magneto X-men Planet Size #1

If you wanted one book to summarize all that the X-Men is about in terms of character and conflict and theme, I'd have to say that "God Loves, Man Kills" was it. If you could only read one X-Men graphic novel start with that. Because for me the X-Men is not about superheroes and supervillains, it is about people, and how you deal with the challenge of life and the choices you have to make every day...That for me is why Magneto is so important. Xavier is spoke for; he has made his choices, he is a hero. Magneto is a work in progress. He is not evil. He is defined by his past. But that definition drives him to disaster. The question for him is... is he the victim of his destiny, or can he change it? Can he grow? I'm not sure, I'd like to think he can.

Chris Claremont

Biography

During his youth, he endured atrocities performed by the Nazi dictatorship in Auschwitz. After escaping, he learned at this cost of his own daughter's life that he had the mutant ability to generate and control magnetic fields, a condition that caused additional hate and fear from those who were different from him.Being a target for so long and explicitly rejecting the possibility of any harmony with humans, Magneto aimed to conquer the world to enable mutants, whom he refers to as Homo superior, to become the dominant species on Earth.

Decided to disseminate his beliefs by employing brute force, he got into direct conflict with his former ally, Professor Charles Xavier and his X-Men, mutants who shared a dream of peaceful mutant-human coexistence. His reputation as an inspirational figurehead and a dangerous threat, as the leader of the Brotherhood and the Acolytes, granted him the rule over the kingdom of Genosha, until its destruction.Magneto also had the X-Men as his allies in different occasions, expressing his intentions to try Xavier's way and even his students' perspective, by following Cyclops on Utopia.

More recently, Magneto has rejoined Professor Xavier, ending their long-time feud and helping to establish the mutant-exclusive nation on the living island of Krakoa.On Krakoa, Magneto acts as one of its most prominent figures both as part of the Quiet Council of Krakoa and as the greatest hero of mutantkind.Though usually at odds with Earth’s Super Heroes, Magneto has come to mankind’s aid on multiple occasions.

Hi Wallcloud, just select "intert image", go to the option "From computer" if you are going to post an image from your PC, search the image in your archives and press upload image or "From URL" if you are going to insert an image from the web, just copy and paste the link of that image in the blak space of URL.

[Wallcloud]

Ok thank you

[Lucyinthesky]

Yes it´s, is been a long journey for him but I hope things get even better in his redemption journey

I loved that image of Peter in WandaVision, now more than ever I am sure he will appear again in the multiverse of madness.

Happy New Year to the Master of Magnetism. This past few months I've grown to like him a lot once I read more of his stories. Here's to many more to come.

This is one of my onetime favorite stories from the Utopia era as well, Skottie Young did a great job capturing his humor, threatening nature and mixed relationship with the Avengers but he managed to do it with this story.
