Magneto as a good guy or an antagonist?

[JasonEsta]

So how was this ensuring the safety of all mutantkind?

The same Senyaka killing cancer children in X factor 92? U got to be kidding me..lol

None of which erases Magneto's own crimes.



Magneto was not the only one who suffered the Holocaust and none of the others who did became genocidal murderers.



Thor, Reed and Surfer are not in the business of committing genocide and for whatever sins all these characters you mentioned have committed, they've done a hell lot more than Magneto to atone for them. Erik just keeps digging himself deeper and dragging down Mutants with him.

Magneto doesn't want his crimes erased. He's proud to protect mutants at any cost..a weakness that exposed Scott Summers and Xavier as lesser leaders. Just ask Denis Green (X Men Prime).

You know you're not gonna make Magneto look better by dragging other characters, right?

I prefer him as a villain myself.

Doesn't mean that he won't stop trying though...and it doesn't make Magneto any less of a murderer...

He protects mutants when it's convenient. He is all talk and only really cares about himself. Ask the healer in Uncanny about that or the various mutants he's used in the past and discarded.

So, when Magneto turns off the power world wide, you don't think any cancer kids died when their machines turned off?

You're forgetting little babies in the hospitals as well, people hooked up to ventilators...the list goes on and on of people that Magneto murdered and felt nothing, no guilt or remorse...

He tried to wipe out the inhumans for shits and giggles. Magneto's crimes are too numerous to list.

It's not about convenience, it's about the greater good. He doesn't mind sacrificing a mutant to ensure the survival of many others.

His crimes are too numerous to list, but none of them were for "shits and giggles". He has reasons for everything he does. You just don't have to agree with those reasons.

Apocalypse also thinks that way

Sometimes those reasons were super petty, like world domination, or revenge or he was annoyed because someone got his coffee order wrong. Magneto's idea of the greater good isn't a consistent thing. It could be power like when he used Polaris to boost his power the several different times he was depowered. He tortured his then daughter the Scarlet Witch, threw Adra to the curb. Seriously Magneto isn't someone that should be tied to the greater good.

The great thing about comments like those up top is that they make Storm, Xavier, Cyclops, Rogue, and multiple other x characters look like idiots since they have leaned on Magneto for leadership, counsel, or outright saving the X men time and time again. Used his ideas and homes to stay safe(Utopia). Followed his path(Cyclops). Like I said, the murderer you call is the one that the X-Men have to keep RUNNING to over and over and over again. They damn sure aren't thinking of those "dead children" that died in any EMP pulse wave..that's for damn sure. Just like they weren't worrying about them while they were cozy in their mansion when Magneto was out on the front lines fighting for mutant survival.

Had they done things Magneto's way, Synch would be alive and so would Xavier.

By fighting for mutant survival, you meant killing different mutants or humans or whoever. They leaned on him because he was sane and actually concerned with reforming, well except for Scott. Oh and let's not forget how much he failed in all of that.

One more comment on this post Magneto doesn't care about the greater good, he is no longer concerned about mutant survival. His only concern is vengeance.
