MAGNETO IS THE ULTIMATE VILLIAN. HIS WIFE LEFT HIM, AND THEN SHE DIED DURING THE BIRTH OF SCARLET WITCH AND QUICKSILVER. AFTER THE HOLOCAUST, HE MOVED TO ISRAEL WHERE HE HELPED AID HOLOCAUST SURVIVERS AND BECAME FRIENDS WITH CHARLES XAVIAR. MAGNUS WAS REDUCED TO INFANCY, WHERE MOIRA MACTAGGART TRIED MAKE IT WHERE MAGNETO WOULD NOT BE A THREAT WHEN HE GREW UP. BUT ERIC THE RED USED ADVANCED SHI'AR TECHNOLOGY TO RE-AGE HIM. HE DESTROYED A RUSSIAN CITY AND SUNK A SUBMARINE WITH ALL PEOPLE ABOARD. BUT, HE TURNED HIMSELF IN ON HATE CRIMES, AND HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR AN ASSINATION ATTEMPT, WOULD HAVE BEEN CONVICTED.* IN MORE RECENT HAPPENINGS(1991-present): A GROUP OF FOLLOWERS CALLED THE ACOLYTES JOINED BY HIS SIDE; HE RIPPED THE ADIMANTIUM OUT OF WOLVERINE'S BODY THRU HIS SKIN; WAS THOUGHT DEAD BECAUSE OF WHAT FABIN CORTEZ TOLD THE ACOLYTES; CAME BACK AND HAD HIS MIND ERASED BY PROFESSOR X, WHICH LED INTO THE FORMATION OF ONSLAUGHT; KILLED A CLONE THAT EVERYBODY THOUGHT WAS HIM UNTIL HE CAME BACK YET AGAIN NAMED JOSEPH, WHICH HAPPENED DURING A WAR THAT GAINED HIM CONTROL OF THE ISLAND COUNTRY OF GENOSHA.
*TO SAVE TIME AND SPACE, I'LL GO THROUGH THE LATEST HAPPENINGS QUICKLY, YET STILL THOUROUGHLY ENOUGH TO CATCH THE IDEA.
