Erik Magnus's Father

Erik Magnus's Father was the father of Erik Magnus.

He lived in Europe when World War II broke out. As he and his wife were Jewish, Nazi Germany targeted them during the Holocaust.

The memory of their deaths prompted Erik to become Magneto. He used his mutant powers to protect other mutants from suffering the same fate as his family.

When Magneto attacked Metro Chemical, Professor X forced him to relieve his memories of trying to find his parents.
