For real? I either never knew about that or knew about it and forgot.

Magneto has mentioned as being gypsy several times, but I think the evidence is generally in favor of him being Jewish. One of the most memorable moments of him, for me, was how much he regretted almost killing Shadowcat since she was a Jewish mutant and instead talked to her a bit about "their" heritage and how he wore red to always remember the blood shed by those in the holocaust.

When Chris Claremont was trying to reform Magneto, & was giving us bits and pieces of his background, it was pretty strongly implied that he came from a Jewish family. The gypsy identity was stated in Unlimited X-Men #2; it was later retconned as a false identity.

The reason Magneto got so upset when he thought he killed Kitty was because she was a child; she hadn't yet reached her 14th birthday. I do think he felt a bond with her because she was Jewish, though. He accompanied her to a Holocaust Memorial service (I'm not sure if that's the right word) in Uncanny 199. That's where he got arrested by the newly minted Freedom Force.

Wearing red in rememberance of Holocaust victims was in a caption in Uncanny 274--featuring Magneto,Rogue, Ka-Zar, & Nick Fury. That issue was also the first time he described his work as a Sonderkommando. And in the real world, to my limited knowledge, the Sonderkommando were all Jewish. Which leads us back to Magneto being Jewish.

Just curious (and sorry for my ignorance) but what would you call someone like Yukon Jack. All I know of is the 'proper american term.'

Unknown, as stated he isn't human he considered himself a demi-god. His people from the village of Kemteron are vastly different from typical Native Americans
