Magneto

Max Eisenhardt -commonly known as Magneto - is an Omega-Level mutant and one of the main antagonists of the Marvel universe, as well as the main antagonist of the X-Men franchise. He was mainly the archnemesis of Charles Xavier but with the passing of time he became his ally, although he is actually more an antihero than a villain.

He has led numerous teams against the X-Men, such as the Brotherhood of Mutants. He is the father of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. He is popularly known as one of the most powerful mutants, and also one of the most dangerous, in Marvel Comics, due to his ability to magnetize. He, too, is one of the most morally complex characters within said editorial, given that his characterizations have varied over the years; from a supervillain to an antihero, and has even become a hero. He shares Xavier's ideal of fostering respect and acceptance of mutants within human society, but nevertheless differs from him by his unorthodox methods to achieve it, proceeding to commit acts of terrorism no matter how many innocent human lives get lost in the process, all for the good of mutants from his point of view.

It is due to his youthful years in the Holocaust that Max developed a deep hatred and resentment towards humans and hatched plans to make mutants the dominant species on Earth. While his militant actions have rendered him quite unpopular with humans, he has been viewed as a hero and even savior by many mutants.

Powers and Abilities
As his chosen name indicates, Magneto has the power of magnetism, which allows him to control and manipulate all forms of metal in the universe, being able to control all the elements that compose it such as iron, steel, lead, etc. Thanks to this, he can also combine metals with electricity to generate electromagnetic fields. He can also perceive the world around him as patterns of electrical and magnetic energy, which gives him a huge advantage in detecting metals that are within his reach and being able to use them. He can move through the air via magnetic levitation, allowing him to fly.

In addition to these magnetic abilities, he is also capable of resisting psychic attacks, fighting telepathic intrusions from Psylocke, Jean Grey, and even Xavier, and is a complete expert in genetic manipulation and engineering, with knowledge beyond contemporary science.
