Magneto (/mæɡˈniːtoʊ/) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The X-Men #1 (cover-dated September 1963) as an adversary of the X-Men. Magneto is a powerful mutant, one of a fictional subspecies of humanity born with superhuman abilities, who has the ability to generate and control magnetic fields. Writers have since fleshed out his origins and motivations, revealing him to be a Holocaust survivor (birth name: Max Eisenhardt; alias: Erik Lehnsherr German pronunciation: [ˈeːʁɪk ˈleːnshɛʁ] and Magnus). His extreme methods and cynical philosophy derive from his "never again" determination to protect mutants from suffering the same fate as the Jews at the hands of a world that fears and persecutes them. He was once a friend of Professor X, the leader of the X-Men, but their differing philosophies caused a rift in their friendship. Magneto's role in comics has progressed from supervillain to antihero to superhero, having served as an occasional ally of the X-Men, even leading the New Mutants for a time as headmaster of the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, and eventually a fully fledged member of the X-Men. Writer Chris Claremont, who created Magneto's backstory, compared the character to then-Israeli opposition leader Menachem Begin,[12] with later commentators comparing the character with the American civil rights leader Malcolm X[13][14] and Jewish Defense League founder Meir Kahane.[15][16] Magneto appears in X-Men: The Animated Series (1992–1997), voiced by David Hemblen, and its revival X-Men '97 (2024–present), voiced by Matthew Waterson. Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender have portrayed Magneto in 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series (2000–2019), with McKellen set to reprise the role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Avengers: Doomsday (2026). In 2014, IGN ranked Magneto 1st in their "Top 100 Comic Book Villains" list.

This is my take on the possible Movies/Disney TV series we could get when Avengers Secret wars is over and we go into the Mutant saga. I still don't think Marvel would ever completely abandon The Avengers although their focus ofc will be on Xmen/mutant related projects. I think Movies like Shang Chi 2 and another Captain America movie could still come out during Mutant Saga. After Avengers Secret wars, everyone is finally free. The timelines are reset but things are still not the same as they were before. As for 'The Sacred Timeline' it now has both 'The Fantastic Four' and a new group of 'X-men' all In one universe. What does this mean for the future of Earth 616? Alongside dealing with that a much larger threat emerges from the shadows. An 'Apocalyptic' threat. Get where I'm going? The first x-men movie will subtlety introduce him and his influence, the second x-men movie will again hint at him and show him at the end of the movie for the first time, absorbing the Phoenix force. The third and final X-men movie would be like infinity war but for X-men where Apocalypse comes out of hiding with the power of the Phoenix force, with intentions to bring an end to human-kind viewing them as the weak species. X-men and Avengers would team up for that final movie.
