Erik Lehnsherr (Earth-8092)

"As a father, there is nothing I wouldn't do for my children. And although they may not always see things the same way, it is always to benefit them. This is not a friendly world, Charles. Every day they're not on Genosha I'm terrified some humanist radical will hospitalize or kill them. So yes, maybe I'm a bit extreme at times, but I don't plan on outliving my children and I plan on leaving a world that is safe for them to live in. That's just something you couldn't understand."

- Magneto

Magneto is a mutant and a founding member of both the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. He is the founder and ruler of Genosha as well as a mutant radical.

Trivia

 * When he first took in Pietro and Wanda, he would pay more attention to Pietro because Wanda looked too similar to her mother that it hurt Magneto.

 * Every Hanukkah he calls a truce with the X-Men and celebrates a day with Kitty Pryde.
 * He is unaware of the fact that Wanda and Pietro are descended from Wolverine.
 * As a child he was a big fan of Norse mythology, particularly Thor, the God of Thunder. He liked to believe he would be worthy to life Mjolnir.
