There are many core elements from Magneto’s characterisation in Marvel comics that X-Men: The Animated Series adopted. Two of these key events are Erik’s experiences with the Holocaust and his friendship with Charles Xavier. Magneto’s origin story is a tragic one, beginning when his Jewish family were taken captive and killed by the Germans in World War II. A survivor of these attacks, Erik began working at a hospital where he met a young Charles Xavier Never Underestimate A Woman Who Understands Hockey And Loves New York Rangers Trocheck Panarin And Kreider Signatures Shirt . When remaining Nazi soldiers attacked this hospital, the duo was able to use their powers to save the patients, but Erik’s past experiences led him to want to murder the Nazis, while Charles’ compassion urged him to spare them.

Years later, Magneto reappeared in his full supervillain form in Season 1, Episode 3 of X-Men: The Animated Series, where his new mission was clear: mutant power and preservation, at the expense of humans. So began the trading of blows between Magneto and Professor X and his X-Men in the animated series. At points during the five-season run, Magneto allied himself with the mutants to defeat certain mutual enemies, such as the Sentinels and Mr. Sinister.

The final episodes of X-Men: The Animated Series saw Magneto with an army of rebellious mutants at his side, ready to go to war. But after learning of Professor X’s downfall, he halted his efforts out of respect and to say goodbye to his old friend.
