Fucking Magnetos, how do they work?
These are two different timelines, right? Maybe he was president during that time in the original timeline
Very stressful life.
It already was in the several decades where he didn’t age, though, so something REALLY fucking stressful must have happened in the mid to late 90s.
Something much more stressful than everything we know happened to him, including checks notes
- the Holocaust,
- several families dying gruesome deaths, and
- being in solitary (other than his nemesis beating him at chess once in a while) confinement for several years.
Must have stepped on a Lego or something 🤷🏻
Poor Ian.

Did they change his back story? Wouldn’t he have been in his 70s in 2000?
No, Magneto is still canonically a victim of the Nazi regime. But he’s also canonically perpetually in his middle age/early old age. How? 🤷♂️ Don’t worry about it.
In First Class, Sebastian Shaw says that he’s going to start a nuclear WW3 so that mutants can take over the remains of civilization, because mutants aren’t affected by radiation.
I choose to believe that in the Fox X-Men universe, mutants also aren’t affected by solar radiation or cosmic rays that can damage skin or DNA, so their aging isn’t negligible, but it’s markedly slower than baseline humanity.
He got gay and sassy
and extremely sexy
the …SAME FUCKING THING THAT HAPPENED TO US MOTHERFUCKER…
This.
