SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Magneto’s powerful portrayal in X-Men ’97 shows that when the Marvel Cinematic Universe inevitably introduces its own version of the X-Men, his origin must remain intact. Magneto is the first – and by far the most iconic – X-Men villain, debuting along with the X-Men themselves in 1963.
When Magneto is revealed to have survived the attack and been captured by Bastion, his identification tattoo from Auschwitz is repeatedly shown and Mister Sinister is referred to as “ Doctor Mengele,” referencing a horrific SS Officer who performed experiments on Jewish people in Auschwitz. What all of X-Men ‘97’s references show is how crucial Magneto’s background as a Jewish man and Holocaust survivor is to his characterization and actions.
Of course, an argument could be made that making a modern live-action version of Magneto a Holocaust survivor would render him too old to be an effective X-Men villain, but the MCU already – albeit inadvertently – provides an easy fix. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever introduced Namor to the MCU, portraying him as a mutant, like his comic counterpart.
