Ohje der Wikipedia Eintrag lässt mal wieder sehr tief in die
Klischeekiste blicken.
Born Max Eisenhardt in Germany in late 1925 or 1926,
[1] Magneto and his family
are persecuted for being Jewish,
[1][12] and are shot by the
Nazis and buried in a mass
grave.
[13] Eisenhardt manages to
survive, only to be captured and sent to
Auschwitz-Birkenau, where he
eventually becomes a
Sonderkommando.
[13][14][15] While in Auschwitz,
Eisenhardt reunites with a
Roma girl named Magda, with
whom he had fallen in love and with whom he escapes the prison camp
during the October 7th 1944 Sonderkommando revolt. At some point
afterward he begins using the alias "Magnus". He and Magda marry
several years later and a daughter, Anya, is born. After moving his
family to the Soviet city of
Vinnitsa, Magnus' daughter
Anya is killed in a fire, while a mob of people prevents him from
rescuing her. Enraged, the young Magneto's powers manifest
uncontrollably, killing the mob and destroying a part of Vinnitsa.
Magda is terrified and she flees, discovering months later she is
pregnant again. Magda will give birth to the mutant twins
Quicksilver and the
Scarlet Witch. Shortly after
Magda's disappearance, Magnus is hunted for the deaths in Vinnitsa,
while attempting to search for his former wife, thus forcing him to
pay a renowned forger, Georg Odekirk, to create the cover identity
of "Erik Lehnsherr the Sinte gypsy" for him.
[16]
Magnus meets
Charles Xavier while working
at a psychiatric hospital near
Haifa,
Israel.
[17] There, lengthy debates
are held by the two regarding the consequences humanity faces with
the rise of mutants, though neither reveals to the other that they
both in fact possess mutant powers. However, they are forced to
reveal their inherent abilities to one another, while facing
Baron Von Strucker and
HYDRA. Following the battle,
Magneto leaves, realizing that his and Xavier's views are
incompatible, with a cache of hidden Nazi gold, which provides
initial financing for his various enterprises.
