== Synopsis (Earth-2645) ==
=== History ===
A young Max Eisenhardt was imprisoned at the Vernichtungslager extermination camp, in Auschwitz, after his father, Jakob Eisenhardt, saved his life by pushing him out the way of a Nazi soldier's firing line, which killed both his mother and father. Max served in the Sonderkommando, as the last remaining member of his family. Max learnt first hand how cruelly humans could act towards those considered different. While in Auschwitz, Max was reunited with his childhood crush, Magda Lehnsherr, who he saved from extermination, while the Sonderkommando revolted. Max and Magda escaped and began living together in a Carpathian mountain village, and eventually married each other. Later in his life, Max seeked out a forger named Georg Odekirk, who was supposed to be among the best, and asked him to create a new identity for him. Odekirk used the identity of the deceased "Erik Lehnsherr, the Sinte gypsy", so Max could live more easily amongst Magda's own people. Max also added "Magnus" as his middle name, and although many knew of his history as a Jewish prisoner, no one knew of his life as Max Eisenhardt. Erik dissatisfied with the simple mountain village life, moved his family to the then-Soviet city of Vinnitsa. On his first day there he used his mutant ability consciously for the first time, when he hurled a crow bar at his boss, when he was trying to cheat him out of his pay. When he returned to the inn that his family were staying in, he found that it was on fire and that his daughter, Anya, was stuck on one of the upper floors. Erik tried to use his newfound abilities to save his daughter, but his boss had called the Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti, a military standard security agency in Russia, who tackled Erik down and beat him up, restricting him from saving his daughter. Anya fell out of the building and burnt to death in front of her father. Angered by the events before him, Magnus killed the soldier attacking him, while a large crowd surrounded him. Horrified by her husband's powers and her daughter's death, she ran away from Erik, while she was unknowingly pregnant with twins. Magnus later tried to bury her daughter, but more soldier pursued him and shot him, Erik then turned there guns against them and killed them all. Erik would later travel to Israel to work as a volunteer orderly at a psychiatric hospital for Holocaust victims. There he met Charles Xavier who he quickly became friends with. They discussed and debated the subject of mutants' coexistence with the rest of humanity, though neither revealed to the other that they were actually mutants themselves. They both joined the armed forces together to save their mutual friend, Gabrielle Haller from Baron von Strucker and his Hydra agents, where they both revealed their mutant abilities to each other. Erik took Hydra's Nazi gold and left Xavier seeing that their views wouldn't be compatible. Some time after, Magnus attempted to stay on the path of righteousness and used his powers to help track Nazi war criminals. However, while working for a Western intelligence agency, Magnus was also working for Mossad, the Israeli Secret Service, and instead of turning the Nazis over to his "control" government after he found them, he was giving them over to Israel for trial. It seems his "control" knew about Magnus' status as double-agent, and let him give the Nazi war criminals to Israel, as long as they were Nazis that the USSR had optioned. When Magnus captured and attempted to give Nazi Hans Richter to Israel, agents, from the Western intelligence agency he was working for, decided to put an end to his activities. They murdered Magnus' girlfriend at the time, Isabelle, right in front of his eyes. In a rage, Magnus killed his "control" and cohorts and vowed from that time on, he would be called "Magneto". Magneto then began planning his campaign against the human race. Magnus later found himself in Brooklyn, New York, under the guise of "Michael Xavier", where he had learned that mutants were gathering and hiding from humans in plain sight. Magnus asked Cassandra Michaels, a mutant woman, to create his first uniform, stating that with all of the colorfully costumed heroes and villains walking the earth, it was imperative that he do the same to make a statement. After accompanying Cassandra on a date, they were attacked by an underground monster and Magnus entertained the idea of becoming a hero, but rejected the idea. He then began to organise his "brotherhood of evil mutants" who would constantly do battle with the X-Men. He would at one point assist Mystique in the assassination of Senator Kelly.

With the death of his friend Professor Xavier, and the sentinel regime to kill all mutants underway, Magneto took of Xavier's spot as leader of the X-Men. He would later be challenged by the mutant, Fat Joe, who he killed without remorse in a joust (possibly due to the fact he no longer had mutant powers anymore). The X-Men then began arranging their plan to stop the sentinels, where they ultimately decided they would send a handful of mutants into the past and stop the killing of Robert Kelly, even though he was a total asshole. Magneto, alongside the Wolverine, Iceman, Pepsiman, and several others began making sure that Kitty Pryde could safely send the one and only McGay, Yellow Vornet, Cyclops, Despacito Man, and Acid Man, back in time.

=== X-Men: Days of Future Past ===
The one and only McGay, Acid Man, and Despacito Man found a younger Erik in Washington D.C., where they tried to question him about the whereabouts of Mystique. He refused at first, but was convinced when Despacito Man said he would go back in time to save his mother (even though that isn't what his power allows him to do). He then told them the address to Mystique's whereabouts, but then Despacito Man made a follow up question, "how are you able to fly?" to which he just nervously mumbles, then starts flying away, but, while in the air, he crashed into Wolverine who was also flying at the time. When the party confronted Mystique, Wolverine swooped in, while Erik was still attached to his body, and they battled Mystique, while the party apprehended her. The sentinel regime never started, so Erik never became apart of the X-Men, in fact, he stayed as one of their constantly recurring enemies.
