Magneto is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe, his control over magnetism makes him a force to be reckoned with. There’s a reason he’s the central villain in all of mutant-dom. The best villains make you sympathize with them, they do the wrong thing for the right reason. Magneto has seen the darkest side of humanity firsthand. He’s not evil, he’s just a product of his environment, afraid that he and those like him may be subjugated once again. The worst part about it is he may be right.
“I think Magneto is definitely an anti-hero,” says series writer Cullen Bunn. “He’s fighting for the right thing, but his methods are far too extreme. He’s not above breaking the law, stretching the limits of what is moral and putting evil to work for good.”
He’s an in depth character deserving of his own series and that’s exactly what we’re going to get. “Magneto” #1 hits stands March fifth, written by Cullen Bunn with art by Gabriel Hernandez Walta.
Marvel released a series of teaser images that you can see below. Let us know what you think in the comments section.
