We seriously need a Magneto.

And I'm not just saying this because I read Magento #0.

And I'm especially not saying it because it would be fun to have Kitty interact with him.

And, the fact that Magnetor pulls an Episode II Anakin and slaughters basically everyone in a village when his daughter dies?  And has a dorky helmet, just like Vader?  And has twin children (a boy and a girl, for that matter) that no one told him about?

Yeah, that fact doesn't motivate me at all.

...

I will make you icons.  Yes.  I will.  *tempts*

EDIT: Mmm, archetypes.

See, honey, there's this little thing that I forgot to tell you...

My daughter is burning to death in front of me and you're trying to stop me from saving her. You are very stupid men.

No one will help me? Fine. If you won't help me with your lives, then I'll avenge her with your deaths. Every last one of you. And your little dogs, too. BWAHAHAH! Mine is an evil laugh.

I can kill you with my eyes. WITH LIGHTNING FROM MY EYES! And this scene is why Lucas was CLEVER and did not have Padme actually see Anakin do all that killin' in Episode II. Because it doesn't inpire the fuzzies.

NOW who does not want to pick up Magneto? Huh? Huh? Come on. All the cool kids want to.

If I knew the character and had the time, I might >.> But alas, I have neither at the moment. :(

I regret that I do not know Magneto. But yes, I do think he'd be a good addition to the bar. (And maybe to the Reformed Villains Club. Because I can see avenging yourself on bastards who let a little girl burn to death.)

[fire-and-a-rose.livejournal.com]

I'm sorta determined to get one now because he really, really would be. *plans to tempt friends if need be* (He's currently somewhat reformed, I think, in the comics, but the series he's in is so bad I can't make myself read it even for him. And yes. If I watched my daughter burn to death in front of me, I'd probably kill someone too.)

Meeeee too. Just the thought makes Tom flinch and consider terrible things.

I wish I knew the canon better (I only know the surface canon from movies and pop culture), but I think I'm busy enough with one tortured, reformed villain.

[fire-and-a-rose.livejournal.com]

Terrible things would be appropriate. It's nice, I think, because even when Magneto is not trying to kill the human swine and accepts that MAYBE they are equal to mutants, he never feels remorse for killing those people.

...And now I want to drag out the log where the Star Wars universe is compared to the Harry Potter universe is compared to the X-Men universe. I think LotR was mentioned to. *is so easily distracted*

But! Yes. And then! His wife leaves him (because, well, she's just seen her daughter burned alive and her husband kill everyone around with powers that OMG! So strange! and it's scary) and it turns out that she was pregnant WITH TWINS who are of course very powerful mutants. But Magneto? DOES NOT KNOW! And then, later, he recruits his kids, Pietro and Wanda. And still? No one knows that they are his children!

And then they all find out, and lo, there is angst.

Which is sorta par for the course, but. Yes. (Also, his daughter pretty well hates him while his son is always trying to get closer to him. Not that I'm drawing comparisions to the relationships between Luke and Leia and Anakin. No.)

We so need a Magneto. And one is probably enough for anyone...Not that that STOPS people. :D

Wow, I babble a lot at 2 AM. Sorry.

[vivien]

Wow, those are some majorly close parallels.

*raises an eyebrow at Lucas*

Babbling is fun! Babble on!

... And Wanda has twins herself. Like Leia did.

And I'm done now. Really, I am.

(I seriously must wonder, though, if he's read the comics. Because...well. Really. HE SLAUGHTERS THEM ALL. And has a helmet. And a cape. Chicks dig the capes.)

The main difference is that Magneto is very gay (well, bi) (and it's not confirmed canon in the regular universe, but in the ultimate verse, Magneto leaves his wife and daughter for Charles Xavier and HA MY SHIP IS CANON FINALLY) and Anakin (fanon, not Milliways speaking) is...well. Actually, lots of people'll say he's very bi cause, Padme/Ani/Obi OT3 and all that. Etc. So. Ignore that all.

Do not encourage me. Seriously. *is still facepalming* I cannot make myself STOP. It is sad.

[redeemed-one.livejournal.com]

Darling, I love you, but you will keep your fanon off my baby. You know, if you know what's good for you.

The fanon, it burns.

::deathglares the fangirls who came up with such a thing::

[fire-and-a-rose.livejournal.com]

I'm a good girl. *behaves* *sterilizes all fanon* (And I understand. Anyone who tries to tell me that Mara is Obi-Wan's daughter or the Emperor's daughter will meet so much wrath. Well. Obi-Wan's daughter I'll buy if it's done well. But it NEVER is.)

See, Magneto doesn't quite reform himself. He has a habit of killing more than just the people who stopped him saving his daughter.

[fire-and-a-rose.livejournal.com]

He's reformed at the moment in canon.

Though that could, y'know. Change.

I concur, Magneto would be a great character to bring in. I once debated doing so, but have trouble managing enought ime for my current one. And besides, I only know the movie/TV/arcade canons, no actual comic books.
