The real answer is always "writers" but Magneto has been written as fucked up before as well.



Though while fairly racist, I don't think he's particularly facist.

How is that page comparable at all to Magneto herding humans into a crematorium?

[insanenoodlyguy]

He's the ubermensh HE IDNETIFIES WITH HITLER

[(Anonymous)]

To quote Sir Ian McKellen, "Hitler's power used constitutional power to oppress minorities. Magneto is a political subversive fighting for freedom. The rhetoric might be similar but their beliefs are not."

[(Anonymous)]

Übermensch isn't a term Hitler invented, y'know. Nietzsche, the guy who coined the term, was critical of both antisemitism and German nationalism.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't encourage him.

[(Anonymous)]

In that page he's in South America hunting Nazis, only to have the CIA show up and try to kill him (and murder his girlfriend) because he killed a Nazi who the CIA wanted to recruit. This is him giving up on working with the system or non-mutants at all (although he does in fact do so later, in Israel). He's using the language of his oppressors and it's meant to be tragic.

Thanks for this post

Thanks for posting this. This story pretty much explains Magneto's motivations (as twisted as they have gotten in all the stories written for years before and years after it).
