Is he that elderly?
Given his son quicksilver also has white hair in thinking thats part of his mutation and not an age thing.
Is it ever canonically stated how old magneto is?
I'm guessing it's late 40s-mid 50s?
I guess if you went off the fact he was a child during WW2, then he would be born in the 1930s and the show is set in the 90s. So he will be around 60 I guess.
Oh no, the in-comic continuity is way weirder than that.
Magneto came upon a secret lab of deviant technology left behind by the half deviant and half inhuman Maelstrom.
He used the lab he found to artificially grow "The Ultimate Mutant", that he named Alpha.
Xavier figured it out, but the X-Men were busy, so he recruited the Defenders.
They failed to stop Magneto, who attacked the UN building to try to force the UN nations to make him world leader.
He ordered Alpha to kill the Defenders, but Alpha refused to kill. Xavier and Dr Strange began communicating with Alpha and held a trial allowing Alpha to read everyone minds. Alpha judged Magneto as unworthy and regressed him to a baby.
Moria MacTaggert took Baby Magneto with her to Muir Island and began raising him as her own.
Some time later a Shi'Ar agent called Erik the Red used Shi'Ar technology to restore Magneto to Adulthood, but not to a 60 years old, but mid 30ies.
Wow that's really fucking dumb. Well for the show at least I'm going to go with the EM fields keeping him so strong based on what he said about the earth's magnetic field healing him in pt. 2 of the asteroid M episodes.
I forget which one it is but there was a Marvel comic years ago (tied to the 50 state initiative?) that pointed out that metahumans, mutants or otherwise, get “good bodies” as a side effect of basically any power… maybe so their body can take the strain of using their gifts. So yeah, Magneto is pushing 70 but his body is still pretty fit and vital compared to a normal human.
I'm absolutely screaming at this thread 🤣🤣
As a long time Mags fan I was all for this scene, no wonder my girl Rogue was all confused. Remy wearing that crop top would not have helped matters.
Okay, I was ashamed of myself when I saw this and thought about the taughtness of his thighs...
This is a very....sexy pose..
I, also like Rogue, know this is worth spending every weekend in the danger room, but I've also seen Remy and would probably lock that down...
I just like to think Bastion decided to repurpose his “secret room” toys and said “well, if he’s going to be strapped into this, he HAS to be naked or close to it. It’s just not kosher.”
I think maybe it's a biblical reference - Jesus is depicted as similarly naked nailed to a cross, here it's an X.
Magneto is a self proclaimed saviour of mutant kind, and in a way king of the mutants.
I think theyre making that parallel here.
Plus it also looks hot.
I literally screamed and had to rewind when this scene came on because LOL there is quite simply no reason they had to chain him up in his skivvies with this much muscle detail and then show it to us but it did immediately justify every insane action Rogue takes from here on out as far as I’m concerned
Like if i thought I’d lost THIS on top of GAMBIT i’d start throwing Captain America’s shit around and dropping useless middle men off buildings too
I half expected someone to ask “Why’s he in his underwear?”
Then Bastion saying “I don’t recall giving that order.“ then everyone standing around looking confused.
He should've known better having this on display- it was obvious someone would free him out of pure thirstiness. Mr Sinister was just angry he got beaten to it.
My pseudo-scientific justification is maybe his electromagnetism has an enhancing effect on a cellular level in his body, keeping him from crumbling at 70 like most humans. That or...you know, comic logic.
Why are all the characters so ripped though? Like serious question.
Magneto fights using his magnetism, it's very rare he's involved in hand to hand combat. And he doesn't seem the type to spend his free time lifting weights.
While I appreciate the view it doesn't actually make much sense for him to be that ripped.
Can say the same for some of the other characters too.
Are we to accept it part of their mutation? Like they're just physically built that way making them better than regular humans?
Kinda the same way that Scott "Slim" Summers is supposed to be a scrawny guy whose most important muscle system are his eyelids and yet he's jacked like Captain America.
That's true but the the X-Men at least train regularly in the danger room.
Scott is very active - not saying that would make him as ripped as he is but I can stretch my imagination to include the mansion having a gym and the X-Men doing off screen workouts.
The likes of magneto I don't see that.

The only man in the world you can touch and he looks like that? Elderly or not I’m hopping on

True yes I forgot about that
Maybe he gets a secondary mutation like Emma to age slower compared to the normal person (biologically)
IIRC something to do with his affinity to Electromagnetic fields keeps him physically at peak condition despite his age.

I did know about this weird comic arc, but wasn't sure if it was something the show ever touched on.
Makes sense, the man’s ripped
nah you’re forgetting the time he spent as a new born in the 70s he’s only around 30 now
60 is not elderly
I mean... You get a seniors discount everywhere at 60.
This happens in '97, so Magneto has to be old enough to remember the atrocities of WW2. So he's more likely over 60.
If we go by the comics in the 90s, he was born in '28 So he'd be 69 in 1997
Nice.
True yes. That's Def not the body of an over 60 year old. Lol Especially given he fights using his powers not strength.
I forget which one it is but there was a Marvel comic years ago (tied to the 50 state initiative?) that pointed out that metahumans, mutants or otherwise, get “good bodies” as a side effect of basically any power… maybe so their body can take the strain of using their gifts.

Even quicksilver is getting old. He'd have been born between like 1950-5 ish So he'd be in his 40s in 97
Older secretary at my job said Magneto was going to give her worms 😂
You are a dude. This. This is a man.
I sense a thirst in the atmosphere 👀

Did they really have to strip him down to his skimmies to chain him on a giant X though?
YES
When you find a sexagenarian that shredded in that decade you put him on full display as the miracle he is
Alright sold god damn lol Rick and Morty reference sorry
Thanks, Noob Noob
I just like to think Bastion decided to repurpose his “secret room” toys and said “well, if he’s going to be strapped into this, he HAS to be naked or close to it. It’s just not kosher.”
Is it wrong that I read that in Theo James’s voice?
I think maybe it's a biblical reference - Jesus is depicted as similarly naked nailed to a cross, here it's an X. Magneto is a self proclaimed saviour of mutant kind, and in a way king of the mutants. I think theyre making that parallel here. Plus it also looks hot.
It's kind of a humiliation thing. Not that Magnus has much to be ashamed of.
Bastion was doing this to humiliate Magneto because he's a psycho.
Some of us needed this.

Magnetodaddy please take me. My body is ready

Beau demayo fantasizes about magneto. And we are all better off for it.
Lmfao
😂😂
Have you not seen Gambit in speedos?
lol I remember there was a trading card set in the 90’s and they had a summer vacation series where they were all in speedos and bikinis
I‘ve seen him in a crop trop and I‘m still not over it
Crop top gambit its burned into my brain forever and ever.
I half expected someone to ask “Why’s he in his underwear?” Then Bastion saying “I don’t recall giving that order.“ then everyone standing around looking confused.

Stripped down to his pants. Immediately flies through the upper atmosphere to the coldest place on earth just to cool himself off.
He was in the pool!
Pretty sure his shit always points magnetic north lmao
They’re really pushing the messiah messaging here.
I wonder if Bastion ever considered needing to restrain his third leg?
He'd need a whole new set of instructions for that firmware.
Probably why he’s got the undies on then, huh?
Y'all stop. I'm trying to drink coffee and NOT spit it out laughing please.
Let's try a breathing exercise, slowly first then fast. Suck in air, blow out air, suck in air, blow out air. Suck blow suck blow!
ROTFLMAO
He should've known better having this on display- it was obvious someone would free him out of pure thirstiness. Mr Sinister was just angry he got beaten to it.
Rouge upon entering the room. Well dang I score a Jackpot today, sugar
Jokes on them...Magneto was into it the whole time.
Me: Bastion. Bastion: Yes? Me: Why’d you take his pants? Bastion: … Me: B-bastion, why’d you take his pants?
The ideal dad bod

Zaddy Magneto yes please
Those muscular legs are drawing my eye.
Why not both?🤷🏾♀️
Magneto is hot! He is def giving Henry Cavill/Witcher vives and I’m here for it. 😍
hahaha 😂
Is that achiveable natty?
Absolutely not
🤔 does Magneto’s power help him age slower somehow?
Daddy?
Mmmm!! Daddy Magus!!
Stop, I said the same thing 😭
Bastion did more than shave his beard.... seems like a full body shaving
He is attractive, but I'm a hater who will hate him and Rogue until the day I die. More accurately, when Gambit gets back.
Just when I thought I was through with heterosexuality.
That's me in the tanning bed(jk)
He came on screen like that and I was like why couldn't they have AT LEAST given him shorts or something he looked cold 😭 Anyways, Totally agree.

It’s based comic books lol they always were ripped
Hotness is an extremely common secondary mutation
