[edit] Origins

His mutant powers manifested in his teens, making his brother Will Magnus (Amalgam Comics) hate and fear him.

Assuming the identity of Magneto, Erik formed a team of fellow super-powered mutants known as The Brotherhood of Mutants.

The rivalry between the Magnus brothers reached a fatal crossroads when Will's Sentinel robots murdered the members of the Brotherhood, exceptMagneto.

In their memory, Erik used his awesome magnetic might to create the Uncanny Magnetic Men (a band of robots designed to fight for the mutant cause and against the Sentinels).
