Erik Lensherr (Earth-7000)

Erik Lensherr is a powerful Sokovian mutant with the ability to manipulate metal.

Early life
Erik was born on September 2, 1960. Born into Soviet Union era Sokovia (which was the southern part of Soviet Estonia), Erik's father was a Soviet soldier named Vladimir who raped Natalia, a Sokovian woman. Because of these circumstances, Erik was abandoned and taken into an orphanage. He endured abuse at the orphanage and discovered his powers when he used them on Soviet soldiers. Because of this, he went on the run. Eventually he found refuge among Romani people who eventually took him to a British orphanage. Erik was adopted by Klaus and Emma Lensherr, an American couple from Michigan. At the age of eleven, Erik came to live with the Lensherrs, taking their last name. Klaus was a German immigrant and a devout Lutheran who cared for Erik, believing that his powers were a gift from God and not a curse.

At some point, Erik graduated from a university and became a physicist in Washington, DC. His son, Peter Maximoff, was conceived with a prostitute. He did not know of his son until much later.

Later, Erik married Veronica Lensherr. He also befriended FBI Agent, Charles Xavier, after learning he was a mutant.

Becoming Magneto
In 1993, Erik used his powers to stop a bus from hitting a child. When this was witnessed, authorities were sent after him. Veronica was shot in his home, accidentally, and Erik used his powers to kill the police. On the run, Sentinels were sent after him by FBI Director Robert Kelly and Bolivar Trask.

Erik killed Kelly and Trask, stopping the sentinels in the process. However, Charles disagreed with his methods. Erik and Charles parted ways. Renaming himself "Magneto", Erik designed himself a helmet and suit. The helmet blocked Charles from using telepathy on him. Magneto founded the Brotherhood of Mutants.
