Ultimate vs. Marvel Round 20: Magneto
Magneto is an extremely powerful mutant bad guy. He and Charles Xavier were once friends, but their ideals took them down different roads. I guess you could say the friendship was officially over the day that Mags severed Chuck’s spine.
The MMU Magneto has been dead (but it didn’t take), reformed (likewise, didn’t take), de-aged (but not really, that was another guy), dead again (another guy again, but a different other guy), and de-powered (in M-Day - guaranteed not to last very long).
The Ultimate Magneto may be even more powerful than his MMU Counterpart ever was. As of this writing, he has recently slapped Thor silly & stolen his hammer, and is now on a quest to wipe out most of Earth’s population. From the looks of Ultimatum #1, he’s got the power to back that plan up. He’s mad as heck that his kids got offed and he’s not gonna take it anymore. Oh, yeah, and his wife was TOTALLY smoking hot.
Winner - Ultimate Magneto.
Tomorrow - Gambit
