Born Max Eisenhardt, Magnus was one of Magneto's aliases, used after being in concentration camps, and living with Magda the mother of the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver after an outbreak of his powers, he assumed the alias of Erik Lehnsherr and moved to Israel where he met Charles Xavier.
Perhaps it is a continuity error but in Uncanny X-Men we were first told of the days when Xavier meet Magneto. At that time Charles Xavier worked at a clinic for Holocaust victims and had befriended a former concentration camp victim who called himself Magnus.
Taking a leap of logic [please forgive me here] it might be surmised the writer used that name because to Charles this was a powerful moment and the name harked back to innocent days, days before there was a man called Magneto Now Mags' name and origins have gone through several alterations over the years, the most notable in recent time was the Magneto Testament [which was an excellent read].
But at the time of X-Men 25 the writer might have felt Magnus meant something more to the character and the readers I for one felt it. It's a known continuity error. I even recall this question being raised in Marvel publications at the time, and several people attempted to win no-prizes by explaining away the continuity issue. Magneto is known as 'Magnus the Magnificent', an evil sorcerer with an army of metal men. Magnus is defeated by Jubilee when she overloads his power through the 'MacTaggert Crystal'.

Erik Magnus Lehnsherr. Stay your enemies and all you desire shall be yours! Nothing you dream of is impossible for me to accomplish! There, over the next several days, they engaged in a "secret war" among themselves; most of the criminals sought to destroy the heroic adventurers in order to gain the prize that the Beyonder had promised. The heroes saw Magneto as a villain, and he decided to stay out of the direct conflicts and become a third party, creating his own fortress.
The bizarre circumstances caused Magneto to think of what he and humans had in common, surprising the longtime mutant supremacist. Later, Magneto took responsibility of watching Galactus' movements. During his time there, Magneto was mostly allied with the X-Men. After Dr. Doom absorbed energy from Galactus and the Beyonder and killed all of the heroes, Mister Fantastic revived them all.
After the Beyonder regained his powers, he and Doom disappeared and the heroes willed themselves back to Earth. After being returned to Asteroid M, the arrival of Warlock crashing through his space station sent Magneto plummeting to Earth. Around this time, the Mutant Registration Act was passed, that called for all mutants to register with the government, forfeiting their civil rights and making it illegal to be an unregistered mutant.
Feeling the return of the Beyonder, Magneto once again joined forces with the X-Men. This time, due to Prof. Xavier's weakened state from being attacked by a group of mutant haters, Magneto temporarily joined the team. Magneto began using the alias Michael Xavier to avoid detection from authorities. Completely out of character, Magneto stopped Rachel Summers from killing a human that shot at her, stating that she would only prove them right: that mutants are murderers.
While visiting the National Holocaust Memorial with Shadowcat, Kitty was amazed to learn that Magneto knew her grandaunt and saved many lives in Auschwitz. Suddenly, Magneto was attacked by the Freedom Force and gave himself up for trial by the World Court. Magneto's old friend, Gabrielle Haller, was his defense attorney and Sir James Jaspers prosecuted him.
The trial was disrupted by an attack from Fenris , the twin children of Baron von Strucker, and Professor Xavier was almost killed. As Professor Xavier lay dying, the Shi'ar Majestrix, Lilandra Neramani , appeared so she could take him into outer space to be healed by their science. At this point, Professor Xavier begged Magneto to take over for him and be headmaster of the School for Gifted Youngsters for the New Mutants [27] and Magneto began splitting his time between being a member of the X-Men and teacher for the New Mutants.
With the X-Men, Magneto again battled the Beyonder. Later, Rachel Summers Phoenix decided to simply destroy the entire universe and have it all start over without the Beyonder. Phoenix stole the life force of the X-Men and Starjammers , but Storm's soul convinced her otherwise.
After hearing the thoughts of every living being in existence, Phoenix returned the X-Men and Starjammers to life. This event also made Magneto rethink his methods of genocide for a "greater good". In being recreated, the New Mutants somehow lost much of the proficiency in using their superhuman powers that they had learned at Professor Xavier's school and seemed detached. In time, Magneto's fears, insecurities, paranoia, and temperament slowly began to get the best of him and he was emotionally persuaded by Empath into having the New Mutants join the Hellions , to see if the White Queen could help.
Upon realizing the manipulation, Magneto raced to rescue the children and was attacked along the way by the Avengers, believing Magneto was planning to kidnap the children. After the New Mutants arrived to rescue Magneto, he and Emma worked together to cure the children of their trauma at the hands of the Beyonder.
Magneto left the building unsure. The X-Men later attempted to rescue the Morlocks after Mr. Sinister 's Marauders began to indiscriminately massacre them. Magneto was charged by Storm to stay at the mansion, watch over the New Mutants, and tend to the wounded. Magneto used his power to mend the wounds, but Piotr was left in a state of temporary paralysis. The New Mutants wandered into the tunnels to help at the same time Thor created an enormous burial fire for the murdered Morlocks, and the New Mutants were thought dead as well.
The union between the Hellfire Club and the X-Men would give the X-Men access to all of the Hellfire Club's government secrets and protect the school if the Marauders were to attack again. Unwilling to watch her die, Magneto went to Reed Richards Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four to use a device that Mr. Fantastic had built to save Shadowcat.
Doom presented his assistance and, under duress, Storm accepted. Doom and Mr. After learning that pieces of his space station, Asteroid M, had fallen to Earth, Magneto left the X-Men to travel to Kampuchea on his own and retrieve the technology in it.
Magneto left the X-Men again to get the tech on the space station, and after finding it, began wearing his old helmet again. After the Avengers showed again, the X-Men came to Magneto's aid and they left with his tech while destroying the rest of Asteroid M. Fearing that he was endangering the team, Magneto again left the X-Men. After Magneto informed them that he was no longer that man, soldiers burst in and began firing and Magneto saved them.
Magneto then went to the X-Men and Avengers and revealed his technology, a device in his helmet that would mix with his magnetic powers and give him control over any mind he chose. Magneto declared that he had modified the circuitry to remove all traces of prejudice, particularly toward mutants, from the collective minds of the human race and not to rule them. After using the device on Captain America , Magneto learned that Cap never hated mutants and agreed to go on trial again.
After fearing that his death would spark a war between mutants and humans, Magneto called his helmet from Singapore to Paris, and used it on one of the judges, Alexandre Gilbert Du Motier, who acquitted him of his crimes in the world court. Magneto destroyed the helmet [82] and returned to his position as headmaster of the Xavier School, attempting to connect more with his students, after learning that they had returned as well.
Magneto, notably, connected with Illyana Rasputin , who had lost her brother, Colossus; best friend, Shadowcat; and control over her realm, Limbo , [83] after the attack of the Marauders.
After a soccer game became too physical, Sunspot ended up giving Cannonball a concussion and, after the rest of the New Mutants began to chastise him, Sunspot ran away, feeling he was a danger to his team. Warlock followed after Sunspot and this left all of the team feeling deeply guilty and worried about Warlock and Sunspot's whereabouts.
MacTaggert to assist in the administration of the school. After hearing about the mistreatment of an animal creature after capture, the New Mutants abducted Bird-Brain and after returning home, Magma decided to return to the Massachusetts Academy. When the children returned, they informed Magneto that Cypher was killed in action by the Ani-Mator. A furious Magneto magnetically held the children and forbade them from ever leaving the school without his presence or using their powers, stating that he needed to protect them.
Retreating to Limbo, Illyana returned in her Darkchylde form with her Soulsword and attacked Magneto, stating that she was wrong about him being her knight in shining armor. The New Mutants separated them and she returned the sword to Limbo. Magneto blamed himself for Doug Ramsey's death as well as Homo Sapiens and contacted Doug's parents telling them Doug was killed while the students were on a field trip in a hunting accident , while cursing Professor Xavier for leaving him in this position.
Magneto's temper rose daily, threatening the New Mutants that if they would not follow his demands, he would make them. After Mirage interrupted a training session of Cannonball's, Magneto ordered the children never to use their mutant powers without his permission, a fact that Sunspot immediately defied and stated that Magneto didn't give them their powers and they could use them as they pleased.
After scolding Sunspot, Magneto received a call from Emma Frost, stating that Magma had been kidnapped. Magneto, the White Queen, and the Inner Circle left to rescue Magma, unaware that the New Mutants had already rescued her and overheard Magneto stating that the Purifiers had almost foiled their plan for Magma. They left to aid Cannonball with a battle that broke out at Lila Cheney 's concert.
Responding to his summons at the Hellfire Club, Magneto donned his old helmet and a similar red and purple suit and attended the meeting. Leader Sebastian Shaw berated Magneto for his students rash acts, but the White Queen came to his defense. The Inner Circle battled a reign of demons that descended upon Manhattan from a portal in Times Square. After the portal was closed, the Inner Circle was approached by the demon, N'astirh , who offered a truce with the Hellfire Club and proposed that if they would allow him Manhattan, he would give them the rest of the world.
After the defeat of the demons, Shaw argued with Magneto for his lack of control over his student, Illyana, and the demon invasion as a result. Magneto and Shaw began to fight, arguing which path that mutants should follow, ending in disagreement. Sinister destroyed the mansion. Magneto was shocked and angry to learn that Illyana had become a child again to stop the demonic invasion, and Sunspot instigated a battle between the Inner Circle and the New Mutants, until Magneto trapped all of the New Mutants in a metal ball.
Shaw accused Magneto of having lost all of the control the Hellfire Club had petitioned his membership for, and the two battled. Magneto stated that he joined the X-Men, led the New Mutants, and entered the Hellfire Club to build a foundation for control and peace among mutantkind.
Magneto said that the teams were to be his army against the coming war between humans and mutants and the New Mutants heard it all. After defeating Shaw, Shaw stated to the other Inner Circle members that if Magneto stayed, then he would not and was voted out of the Inner Circle. Magneto declared himself "Grey King", both Black King and White King, and allowed the New Mutants to leave, stating that in time they would find his way right. Wanting a contingency plan if things didn't work out with the Hellfire Club, Magneto rebuilt a fancier version of Asteroid M.
Magneto left the New Mutants so he could play villain again for the world, he would explain to Dr. MacTaggert, so the world would focus on him as the highest profile mutant terrorist. Magneto felt he could not be a substitute for Professor Charles Xavier, that he could not adopt Professor Xavier's methods, and that Professor Xavier's way was not his way.
He next appeared in the Savage Land where he met X-Man Rogue where they both fought a crazed Zaladane , who had stolen the magnetic powers of both Polaris and Magneto. Zaladane was defeated brutally by Magneto. Rogue left the Savage Land in anger and in tears as Magneto declared that he and she could not be on the same side. Seeing conditions for mutants grow progressively more perilous, Magneto began seeking allies to protect mutants from humanity. He participated in the "Acts of Vengeance" alongside such established villains as Doctor Doom , the Wizard , and the Mandarin.
He also confronted Red Skull , an unrepentant Nazi war criminal, on whom Magneto took revenge by entombing him alive. Eventually tired of the constant state of strife, Magneto built a new orbital base, Avalon , where he hoped to live a life of quiet seclusion.
He was, by this point, a figurehead for the cause of mutanthood and was sought out by a group of new mutants calling themselves the Acolytes. After this, Magneto set his sights significantly lower than world conquest; he wanted only a haven for mutantkind.
He first attempted to make the orbital base known as Asteroid M such a haven, but was opposed by the governments of the world and the X-Men. The X-Men did not know whether or not Magneto was returning to his villainous ways, so they confronted him. Feeling betrayed by his former allies, Magneto escaped after a brief skirmish in which he sustained near-fatal injuries from Wolverine.
Shortly after, Magneto renewed his war with the human race and the X-Men, and gathered about him his team of mutant underlings, the Acolytes, who virtually worshiped him. The United Nations Security Council , in response to a resurgent Magneto, voted to activate the "Magneto Protocols" -- a satellite network, in slightly lower orbit than Avalon, which skewed the Earth's magnetic field enough to prevent Magneto from using his powers within and from returning to the planet's surface. The attempt to limit him was met with an electromagnetic pulse-wave that not only destroyed the satellites, but deactivated every electronic device on Earth within minutes.
Xavier and a select team of X-Men traveled to Magneto's orbiting Avalon base to confront him. During the battle, Magneto used his powers to extract the adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton, causing him tremendous agony.
Infuriated, Xavier used his mental powers to shut down Magneto's mind. For a time, the Acolytes cared for Magneto at their orbiting base, and Exodus claimed to speak the word of Magneto even while Magnus was incapacitated. When Avalon was destroyed by Holocaust , however, Magneto returned to Earth in an escape pod with Colossus.
Subsequently, an amnesiac man emerged calling himself Joseph , possessing powers over magnetism, and the appearance of Magneto if he were still in his twenties.
Joseph himself came to believe he was Magneto, until the real Magneto reappeared and began his campaign of terror against the human race anew. It was at this time that Sabra , a mutant Mossad agent and member of Xavier's Underground, discovered that "Erik Lehnsherr the Gypsy" was a complete forgery, and she revealed this information to Gabrielle Haller.
Sabra would declare a personal war against Magneto, whom she now regarded as a traitor to the human race, mutantkind, and their Jewish people. After seizing control of the planet's magnetosphere from the north magnetic pole and blackmailing the world into creating a mutant nation, the United Nations ceded to Magneto the island nation of Genosha , which had no recognized government, as a homeland for mutants.
At this time, however, Magneto had nearly lost and exhausted his powers by influencing the poles. Magneto was met with armed resistance on Genosha. He used Fabian Cortez , and then Polaris, to augment his powers and was able to gain control of all parts of Genosha, after battling the Avengers and destroying the city of Carrion Cove.
Hidden in caves above Carrion Cove was a device that Magneto knew would restore his powers to dangerous levels, and he attacked his alleged children, Wanda and Pietro, who tried to stop him from using it. Once he accessed this genetic enhancer, he regained his powers over the electromagnetic spectrum, but the overwhelming energies drove him psychotic and manic once again.
After the Legacy Virus was cured, Magneto suddenly found himself with tens of thousands of healthy mutants on Genosha. Darth Jello Just some some thoughts on Magneto's names, their meanings, character evolution, and the irony that he's been using his real name for awhile in a sense. So Magneto started off as an extremely caring boy named Max Eisenhardt. Max being German comes from Maximillian which comes from Maximus.
