*There is no land of tolerance. There is no peace, not here or anywhere else. Women and children, whole families destroyed simply because they were born different from those in power. Well, after tonight, the world's powerful will be just like us. They will return home as brothers. As mutants. Our cause will be theirs.*
—Magneto
**Erik Magnus Lehnsherr** (born **Max Eisenhardt**), also known as **Magneto**, is a supervillain from *Marvel Comics*. He appeared in the 35th episode of DBX, Magneto VS Darth Vader, where he fought against Darth Vader from the *Star Wars* series.

## History

Born Max Eisenhardt, Max was born the son of a of middle-class German Jewish family in the 1920's. Following the Nazi's rise to power in Germany, Max and his family moved to Poland were they were captured by Nazi forces and sent a concentration camp. Here, his family would be executed, but Max would survive due to strange new powers manifesting within him, granting him control over magnetic forces. Max's experiences would shape him deeply feeling that mutants were inherently superior to humans and has set about creating a world where their kind can live in peace. Initially friends with a fellow mutant activist, Charles Xavier, Max would reject Xavier's alternative ideologies and pursue his own, dubbing himself as "Magneto". Although having "noble" intentions, Magneto's aggressive tactics and willingness to involve innocents would lead him to conflict with Xavier and his mutant students, the X-Men.
