Who Is Magneto?
Erik Lehnsherr survived Auschwitz as a boy and emerged with absolute command of magnetic fields and no patience for anyone promising mutants a peaceful future. He has been the founder of the Brotherhood, the ruler of Genosha, a headmaster at Xavier's school and Charles Xavier's closest friend and sharpest opponent, in changing order. His power reaches anything ferrous, and in practice most things metallic.
Magneto's Team
Knights of Doom
View Knights of DoomMagneto is one of the four fighters presented as Knights of Doom on the character select screen, alongside Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, Carnage.
Magneto's Systems
Magneto's entry in the game's character table sets none of the four character-specific engine flags - no unique gauge, no split gauge, no summon and no item system - so they run on the universal systems every fighter shares.
Whatever Magneto carries on top of them, the universal systems apply to every fighter: tagging, assists, guard cancels, air tech and combo scaling are documented in full on the mechanics pages.
