I've actually soured on Magneto. Oddly, I was really afraid of him because for some reason the episode of SPIDER-MAN AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS frightened me when I was a child for some stupid reason. He's long been supposedly the most sympathetic of villains, with his back story (and frankly every post Claremont writer of the mutant books actually having society doing things in the Marvel U. that JUSTIFY his world view and not Charles Xavier's... But I digress). However, ya know what? Fudge his rationales. Fudge being sympathetic, and his back story. He's crossed line after line. He's an elitist idiot. There's aint nothing superior about mutants. Nothing. Show me a mutant that loves more and hates less. Show me a mutant that gives without expecting to receive. Show me that, and then tell me it's BECAUSE they are a mutant, and them maybe I'll see what ole Mags does. As it stands... He's just an A-1 *****ebag who gets away with a lot because the writers at Marvel both can't understand that they keep providing his character with reasons to be sympathetic, and that the issues that the X-Men are metaphors for, in the real world, have evolved into much more complex sociological phenomenons than what they were in the 1960's/1970's. I'm not a fan of Morrison per se, but his idea to be done with Magneto might have been the right thing.
