Some issues with timetable, too, as, I believe, even the
original BGC was dated at 2032 or so, and Magneto would be
over hundred years old, (since his particular mental quirks orignated
during WW2). Hmm. Nitpick. Magneto's give name is Erik Lehnsherr...
Though I believe 'Magnus' was used quite often... Middle name?
Nom-de-guerre? Dunno, I am not that up to the latest(last 6 years ^^)
plot twists in the X-men storyline.
Have to agree with Xellos here.. Magneto's ubermench
fixation is the result of having been a concentration camp
victim during World War 2. His powers didn't manifest themselves
until it was far too late to save his family. Now he's stuck
with a mental hangup about being strong enough that he will
never be in such a position again, lightly contaminated with
the Nazi philosophy of the Superman. After all, the Nazi's
had managed to kill his parents, that must mean they had
some small rightness in their beliefs. (This is often known
as the Helsinki Syndrome, identifying with your oppressors,
also known as "Hey, I wanna be on the winning side, too!")
Now, if this is the son, or more likely, the grandson,
of the original Magneto, that might be interesting.
As for Logan, well, Marvel hints, here and there, that
he might be immortal due to his healing factor. In one issue
they come right out and say that Logan's amnesia covering the
years of WW2 is probably due to his having too many memories
in his head.. so many years of memories that he might have
suffered dementia due to the sheer weight of them. And that
his healing powers prevented the insanity by removing the
older memories. (That is, the trashcan gets too full, you
take it out and empty it. Problem solved).
So it's entirely possible that Logan's hundreds, or
even thousands of years old and just doesn't remember it.
Makes it easy to slip him into BGC.
That's all for now.
Ed Becerra
What Becerra and Xellos seem to be missing is that this is an
altaverse story. Marvel Comics has done enouugh of their own
versions of alternate timeline variations that Knight Writer's is
fully viable and justified in using any marvel character at any age
he needs to, despite of the Marvel cannon timeline...
Which is a bit of an oximoron, since they keep changing it anyway.
As of the most recent reworking of Magneto's past, Erik Lehnsherr
had proven to be an alias and not his real name at all. Which hardly
makes any sense in itself, as this contradicts Xavier's memories, and
he's one of the few people who should know who Magneto really is.
While the variation of Magneto in Bubblegum Chromasome could
very well be slightly prejudice against normal humans, he is far
more likely to be like Priss. Hating Boomers with a passion
nearly beyond reason, and by extention, hating Genom. If Quincy
is the type of villain that Knight Writer seems to be making him,
then there is a good chance that Magneto could end up as a
champion of the common man, standing for mutant and human alike...
