History

This Magneto very similar to his Earth-616 counterpart.

He wants to create a world where Humans would no longer exist and Mutants are the ones to reign supreme and dominate on Earth. However, the X-Men foiled those plans. If any of the heroes defeat Magneto, he will offer them a position to join the brotherhood, but the heroes refuse the offer, following Charles Xavier's peaceful ideals instead.[2]

After acquiring the Infinity Gems, he is able to create worlds for Mutants to thrive peacefully.[3]

He, along with Bison might be working under Apocalypse, but it might be more of a "pretend" than official. In Magneto's ending, he is shown defeating M.Bison and taking control of Shadaloo and betrayed by his former cohorts Balrog, Vega, and Sagat. Rather than Shadaloo becoming a base for M.Bison's reign of selfish power, Magneto uses it as a base for his Brotherhood of Mutants, classifying Balrog, Vega, and Sagat as not only mutants due to their special abilities in combat but also part of the new Acolytes.[4]

One image shows Magneto and Akuma together.[5]

He stole a virus sample from Albert Wesker, possibly planning to use it to turn humanity into mutant beasts or killing the human populace, or perhaps to keep them from infecting the mutant populace in the process, however, he's shown to be on Doctor Doom's side although he may be "pretending" to be on his side and plotting his own plans. After defeating Galactus, Galactus offered a "gift" to recreate the utopia world, Taa II, Galactus's Homeworld before devour. This new Taa II is where all Mutants living on Earth can now freely leave Earth and prosper peacefully without any more discrimination.[1]

Powers

According to Sentinels, Magneto is an Omega-level mutant.[1]

Magnetokinesis: Magneto can manipulate metal and various forms of magnetism and uses these powers in a variety of ways. Two techniques that he commonly utilizes is use his magnetokinesis to direct metallic projectiles at opponents, and channel magnetic energy to form shockwaves or blasts that damage enemies upon impact.

  • Force Field: Magneto is able to generate a magnetic force field that he uses to block incoming attacks.[2][5][1]
  • Magnetic Flight: By manipulating magnetic fields, Magneto can fly.[2][5][1]

Weaknesses

While mid-flight, Magneto cannot block incoming attacks, making him more vulnerable than he would be on the ground.[2][5][1]

Paraphernalia

Equipment

Magneto's helmet is built to shield his mind from psychic probes and manipulation. The costume that Magneto wears is actually a type of armor that he has created through the use of his magnetic powers. The costume is actually an amalgam of various lightweight, but highly durable, metallic alloys that further protects him from many forms of physical injury.

Weapons

Magneto relies primarily on his natural powers, although he has occasionally used magnetically-powered devices he invented, such as his machine for inducing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions from afar. Magneto used to employ mechanisms for magnifying his own powers, but, since his rejuvenation, he no longer needs them.

Transportation

In the past, Magneto has used a number of exotic aerial vehicles of his own design. He is also fully capable of flying under his own power, which he tends to do most of the time.
