| Origin : Born into a gypsy family in 1928, The man known as Magneto was imprisoned by Nazi's in WWII. His experiences in the concentration camps have led to his belief that humans and mutants can NEVER peacefully co-exist. Magneto married a woman named Magda and had a child who, unfortunately died in a fire. A display of his emerging magnetic powers caused his beloved Magda to desert him (Unknown to him she was pregnant with twins, who would eventually become Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch.) While in Isreal Magneto befreinded the fellow mutant Charles Xavier. However the differences between them have since led Xavier and his X-men to thwart Magneto's frequent terrorist attacks on the human race. Real name : Unknown, but goes by the Alias 'Erik Magnus Lensherr' Occupation : Terrorist, Sovereign ruler of Genosha Powers : an INCREDIBLY powerful mutant. One of THE most powerful in fact, he can control metal, all metal, from the iron in someone's blood to cause unconciousnees or blood clots, to manipulating the planets entire magnetic field. He has been seen to control or destroy whole sentinels, rip the Adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton, create magnetic shields around himself or others and control bullets in the air around him. |

| Rookie : Combining powerful energy shields, with the ability to throw figures (Both freindly and opposing) acroos the battlefield effortlessly with his magnetic abilities. Magneto is a GREAT choice as a leader for ANY team, with Leadership for almost his entire dial. Not content with just his defensive and tactical abilities Magneto has an attack of 9 which keeps him in a hand-to-hand battle along with the best of them. Experienced : After an incident with Mutant Alpha that reverted Magneto back into infancy, The X-Men's freind and assistant Moira McTaggart affected Magneto's mind so that after he returned to adulthood he would abandon his war on humanity. When Xavier's life was at risk, he was able to ask Magneto to "look after his X-Men". Hence the experienced Magneto is an X-Men team-member. If you like an X-Men team, but would prefer a more aggressive style of play Experienced Magneto is perfect. Veteran : Equal in points with the Rookie Hulk! Veteran Magneto is truly deserving of the name 'Master of Magnetism'. In enormous control of his powers, and with equally enormous levels of experience. Veteran Magneto returns to his evil ways by regaining the Brotherhood team ability. An attack level of 10 and 4 damage is nothing to be sniffed at. Though 129 points seems expensive, with the cheap Brotherhood figures available (Avalanche, Toad, Blob) backup is never far away, even so Magneto is a central figure to be reckoned with on his own. |
