Please note my choice of words, for I have valid reasons to label Magneto crusader and not dictator. Firstly: He has no country to call his own. Secondly: He has fought for a specific cause, not for personal power. Which begs the question then, before he died in a battle above Earth -- was Magneto a demagogue or an ideologue? Was he a tyrannical madman placing himself above the rights of humanity or a righteous zealot fighting for a noble cause -- equality for mutants? Can any one of us truly answer such a question?
