Magneto/YMMV


 * Americans Hate Tingle: Magneto: Testament is very popular amongst the American humans for realistic portrayal of Holocaust among other things (too realistic if you ask me). However, in Poland the nicest thing you will hear about it is that it's "Holocaust made by Disney''. It doesn't help that it features a Polish cavalry attacking tanks, a myth that the Polish perhaps understandably don't take kindly to. It's to the point where they'll outright refuse to acknowledge any part of my life where I am named as Max Eisenhardt.
 * Character Rerailment: Very, very much so. I even have a Character Rerailment page on the subject. Check there if you have the faculties to do so.
 * Complete Monster: Not exactly true of how I am in Universe 616, but my portrayal in Ultimate fits too well.
 * Kick the Dog / Moral Event Horizon: The one most heinous evil I had been forced to commit that still happened and wasn't Retconed into non existence was in "Fatal Attractions", wherein I unleashed a global electromagnetic pulse that wiped out electronics everywhere on Earth, crippling humanity and by extension, any mutants that chose to remain there, as well as painfully and meticulously ripping the adamantium from Wolverine's living bones.
 * Of course, this faces heavy argument from you humans as well. The man I supposedly was long long ago was a cackling madman not at all dissimilar to Doctor Doom or the Red Skull of the same period, whose schemes would normally include nuclear war and global mind control, as well as beating and degenerating the poor Toad and mercilessly manipulating the impressionable young Scarlet Witch. Regrettably, that was all me and not an imitator of some sort. Back then, I would REALLY play fast and loose with my agenda, admittedly.
 * There was also the time I learned that Moira Mactaggert had been making unwarranted alterations to my own mind while I was in her custody when I was recovering from an alien attack, which, when I learned of it, threw me down a seemingly bottomless pit of despair -- to me, this was, if not a Fate Worse Than Death, then the next worst thing to it. After I enacted a VERY well deserved vengeance for what that cursed human had done to me, I immediately forced her to apply the same procedure on the X-Men so that they'd now embrace my philosophy and join my Brotherhood. I admit I had a problem with Moral Myopia, made all the worse by the fact that, as noted above, I have indeed made use of mind control myself in the past. Also, I failed to consider that from Moira's point of view -- she is, after all, a medical doctor and I was a patient in her care at the time -- she may have seen her actions as more therapeutic than abusive, as she had concerns that side effects of my powers might be unfavorably affecting my brain chemistry and her genetic treatments were intended to counteract that. Of course, this is why the common standard of medical ethics insists that you discuss intended medical treatments, and obtain consent for them, before applying them to a patient. Then again, if she had doubts about my mental competence then that obviously precludes seeking patient consent before treatment... let us just say that it was actually a far more complicated issue than I allowed for at the time.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Many people accuse me of being a genocidal maniac, and hold the high number of casualties of my quest for mutant freedom against me. Nonetheless, they still pity me after all the ways in which I have been wronged by the human oppressors.
 * Magnificent Bastard
 * Memetic Mutation - It appears that to a sorrowfully huge subsect of humans, I am little more than a collection of catchphrases and mannerisms rather than a living, breathing being of flesh and albeit mutant blood. Even worse still is that red clad madman seems to agree with them and won't ever let me avoid this cursed fate.
 * "Mag-Fuckin-Neto!"
 * Ascended Meme: Deadpool: "I just beat Mag-freakin-neto! Where yo curly mustasche at?!" (
 * "X-Men! Welcome... TO DIE!!!"
 * Ascended Meme: Deadpool: "HAHAHA! Magneto! Welcome TO DIE!!!"
 * I briefly became a Meme amongst fans of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, due to some advertisements featuring my likeness repeatedly interrupting a broadcast of the program.
 * Morality Pet: at times, Kitty Pryde - fellow mutant and fellow Jew - seems to serve in this capacity.
 * My Real Daddy: Though Stan Lee and Jack Kirby first told my tale, it was Chris Claremont who first told my side of the story, explaining my tragic childhood, my complex motivations, and my three-dimensional nature, rather than treating me as just another generic comic book villain.
