[edit] Meaning of the name

It's apparently from Latin and means "great", "big" (magnus). Brandmeister 23:12, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright material?

The original intro paragraph was taken, word for word, from Exiles #1 p14 - the scene where the Timebroker introduces Magnus to the team. Accordingly, I've deleted it. We could use a longer replacement intro, though. --Mrph 23:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

→Problem: now that it is no longer there, how do we know what to put? →Problem 2: What the heck does electromagnetic energy have to do with flight?

Re: EM & flight--

The "official" explanation for Magneto/Magnus' flight powers in the Marvel Universe is the his personal magnetic field interacts with the Earth's magnetic field, allowing them to repel each other, essentially a form of magnetic levitation (wouldn't work in the real world, of course, but comic book physics can be very forgiving). -- Noclevername 07:56, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
