Magneto hasn't been a fan of Wolverine for a long time, and he shows it and the other X-Men stand by helplessly.
I REALLY like this Magneto from the Family Matters set. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are both pretty cool, but for me, he's the star of the set.
What do you think of this version of the good Mr. Lehnsherr?
Have fun, and happy collecting!

I spend the next few moments just staring at Trask's lifeless corpse. Maybe I'm paranoid, and have watched too many movies where the villain actually survives. I should probably get out of here, the MRD will show up any minute now. With the alarm ringing in my ears, I make my exit. Floating out of the facility, and towards my ship. I really should get around to naming it sometime when I'm not fighting for the survival of mutantkind. But for now, I'll head back to Genosha. As I enter the vehicle, I hear this loud booming sound. Sure enough, in the distance, I see an explosion. I should just leave it alone right? I mean, it's so normal to have explosions going off in the late afternoon. Maybe something is actually wrong. Though of course, curiosity killed the cat as they say. Eh, screw it, let's go take a look. The initiation sequence starts, and I pull the lever forward. I pull up into the air, and make my way towards the explosion site. The jet is higher up, just so I don't have to manoeuvre as much. I let out a yawn, as I get closer to the site. Minutes later, most of which I spent lost in thought, I finally arrive.
Very quickly I realize the source of the mayhem, as I notice a couple of Sentinels walking through the streets, firing off various projectiles at two people running for their lives. Not sure who they are, but as a fellow mutant, I should help them out. I land the jet as close to the site as I can, but also far away enough so I don't have to worry about it getting destroyed. Activating the cloaking feature, I exit the jet. Stepping onto my trusty disc, I propel myself towards the Sentinels. Placing my hands in front, I reach out to dismantle the Sentinel piece by piece. Yet, it's still standing there, about to fire. Well, I guess they aren't as stupid as I thought. Must be some sort of hard plastic instead of metal. I land myself on the ground, between the sentinels, and the mutants being targeted. The Sentinels have a lock on my position, and start firing. I shield the three of us using various parts from cars nearby. The impact still sends me backwards a bit though.
Magneto: "You two ok?" I ask, as I keep putting up shields for us. The girl with the pink mohawk then speaks up
"We are now that you're here! Magneto, Master of Magnetism! I've heard the stories."
"You mean, Magneto the terrorist. He's only made things worse for us sister."
Magneto: "So ungrateful. My father has done everything to make things better for us mutants, and this is what he gets. He even created a home for all of us."
Marrow: "That's fine, but you're forgetting that there's still two Sentinels right there"
Magneto: "Right.. What's your name and what can you do? Need to know what I got to work with."
Marrow: "I'm Marrow, and the rude brother of mine is Spyke. We can make different bone constructs. So armor, spikes, and other things."
Magneto: "Hmm alright. I'll get you both onto the Sentinels, then you can stab away in critical locations. I will try to give as much support as I can. Unfortunately these are not made of metal, otherwise it would've been easier."
Spyke: "Ok, I guess I'll help.. Let's hurry up then." With that, I place some metal underneath the both of them to act as a platform, and I send them towards the two Sentinels. With my other arm, I shield them until landing them on one of the Sentinels. They notice this, and shoot at me.
I scream out in pain as a laser hits me. It breaks my concentration, but it's fine, as they're already on it. I get up from ground, trying to regain my composure. Spyke and Marrow create some spikes, and stab at the exposed places on the Sentinel. It's mostly where each joint attaches. Looking around, I find some signs, cars, and other small things that I then start throwing at the other Sentinel. It blasts most of it away, with The Sentinel with Spyke and Marrow tries to swat them off, but only hits itself in the head. It also tries to blast them off, but they climb up onto the head using their spikes. This results in the Sentinel blasting the neck brackets apart. Stumbling a bit, Marrow, climbs back down to stab the neck repeatedly. Spyke comes back down, and leaps off it, turning around and shooting multiple spikes into the exposed circle in the middle of the Sentinel. I catch him mid-air, but I hear him yell as he makes impact with the metal. Marrow makes her way to the left arm of the Sentinel, and leaps off, as it collapsing to the ground. She lands on the remaining Sentinel with spikes out. I land Spyke down on the ground as I summon a final attack. A field of metal surrounds the Sentinel and starts attacking it from all sides. I notice Marrow jabbing her spikes into the exposed joints. Soon enough, it's down for the count, as it begins to lean backward. I notice a girl about my age walking where the Sentinel is going to crash. She looks familiar, but I can't place it.
Magneto: "GET OUT OF THE WAY!" I yell at the girl. She looks up, watching it. I try to hold it with leftover metal, for as long as I can.
Magneto: "ANYTIME NOW!" Finally, the girl realizes what's happening, and runs out of the impact zone. I release the metal, and my knees give out on me. I drop to the ground. Marrow gets of the fallen Sentinel, and comes towards me, with Spyke in tow.
Marrow: "Wow that was so cool! That last move, girl... That was badass. You did good too Spyke!"
Spyke: "Of course I did! Really didn't need her here though."
Marrow: "Are you kidding me? She just saved our lives.."
Magneto: "Thanks Marrow. Anyway, do you have anywhere to go? As it's clearly not safe out here."
Spyke: "No.. Not anymore. As soon as our parents learned what we were, they kicked us out. We've been on the run ever since."
Magneto: "Well, I know the perfect solution then! Come to Genosha! It's a safe haven for all mutants."
Spyke: "Those utopia's never work out. I've watched the movies."
Marrow: "Well I think we should go to Genosha."
Spyke: "If it means that much to you, fine, we'll go. But I'll be there to tell you so when it all goes wrong."
Magneto: "Alright, awesome! Meet me at the jet, and we'll be off!" They look shocked that I own a jet. I tell them the whereabouts of it, and they run off. I look down the street to see the girl looking at me. I'm wracking through my brain, trying to figure out how I know her. I still can't quite figure it out, but I do know her. Maybe I should just talk to her and figure it out. It's going to annoy me to no end until I do anyways.
I was waiting for the white uniform, contemporary Magneto, but I may need to get that Mezco "Classic" Magneto.

The career of English actor Ian McKellen (1939) spans genres ranging from Shakespearean and modern theatre to popular fantasy and Science Fiction. He became a stalwart of the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre of Great Britain. He achieved worldwide fame for his film roles, including the titular King in Richard III (1995), James Whale in Gods and Monsters (1998), Magneto in the X-Men films, and Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. For his work, Mckellen received six Laurence Olivier Awards, a Tony Award, a Golden Globe Award, five Primetime Emmy Awards, four BAFTAs, and many other awards. He has been openly gay since 1988, and continues to be a champion for the LGBT movement.
Ian Murray McKellen was born in 1939 in Burnley, Lancashire. He was the son of Margery Lois (née Sutcliffe) and Denis Murray McKellen. He had a sister, Jean, five years his senior. McKellen's father was a civil engineer and lay preacher. His home environment was strongly Christian, but non-orthodox. When he was 12, his mother died of breast cancer; his father died when he was 24. McKellen's acting career started at Bolton Little Theatre, of which he is now the patron. An early fascination with the theatre was encouraged by his parents, who took him on a family outing to Peter Pan at the Opera House in Manchester when he was three. When he was nine, his main Christmas present was a fold-away wood and bakelite Victorian theatre from Pollocks Toy Theatres, with cardboard scenery and wires to push on the cut-outs of Cinderella and of Laurence Olivier's Hamlet. His sister took him to his first Shakespeare play, Twelfth Night, by the amateurs of Wigan's Little Theatre. In 1958, McKellen, at the age of 18, won a scholarship to St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where he read English literature. While at Cambridge, McKellen was a member of the Marlowe Society, where he appeared in 23 plays over the course of 3 years. He already gave performances that have since become legendary such as his Justice Shallow in Henry IV alongside Trevor Nunn and Derek Jacobi in 1959. During this period McKellen was directed by Peter Hall, John Barton and Dadie Rylands, who had a huge impact on McKellen's future career. He made his first professional appearance in 1961 as Roper in A Man for All Seasons. After four years in regional repertory theatres he made his first West End appearance, in A Scent of Flowers. It was a success. In 1965 he was a member of Laurence Olivier's National Theatre Company at the Old Vic. With the Prospect Theatre Company, McKellen made his breakthrough performances of Richard II and Marlowe's Edward II. In the 1970s and 1980s McKellen became a well-known figure in British theatre, performing frequently at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre, where he played several leading Shakespearean roles, including the title role in Macbeth, and Iago in Othello, in award-winning productions directed by Trevor Nunn. Both productions were adapted into television films, also directed by Nunn. In 2007 he returned to the Royal Shakespeare Company, in productions of King Lear and The Seagull, both directed by Trevor Nunn. In 2009 he appeared in a very popular revival of Waiting for Godot, directed by Sean Mathias, and playing opposite Patrick Stewart. In late August 2012, he took part in the opening ceremony of the London Paralympics, portraying Prospero from The Tempest. In October 2017, McKellen played King Lear at Chichester Festival Theatre, a role which he said was likely to be his "last big Shakespearean part". He performed the play at the Duke of York's Theatre in London's West End during the summer of 2018.
Ian McKellen had taken film roles throughout his career—beginning with his role of George Matthews in A Touch of Love (Waris Hussein, 1969) starring Sandy Dennis, and his first leading role was as D. H. Lawrence in Priest of Love (Christopher Miles, 1980). He played war minister John Profumo involved in sa scandalous affair with an exotic dancer in Scandal ( Michael Caton-Jones, 1989). In the 1990s he became more widely recognised after several roles in Hollywood films. In 1993, he had a supporting role as a South African tycoon in the critically acclaimed Six Degrees of Separation (Fred Schepisi, 1993), with Stockard Channing, Donald Sutherland, and Will Smith. In the same year, he appeared in the TV miniseries Tales of the City (Alastair Reid, 1993), based on the novel by his friend Armistead Maupin, and the film Last Action Hero (John McTiernan, 1993), in which he briefly played Death opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. McKellen also appeared in the TV film And the Band Played On (Roger Spottiswoode, 1993) about the discovery of the AIDS virus for which he was nominated for an Emmy Award. He played the title role in Richard III (Richard Loncraine, 1995) with Annette Bening and Robert Downey Jr., which transported the setting into an alternative 1930s in which England is ruled by fascists. The film which McKellen co-produced and co-wrote, was a critical success. His performance in the title role garnered BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor and won the European Film Award for Best Actor. His screenplay was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. He also appeared in the modestly acclaimed film Apt Pupil (1998), which was directed by Bryan Singer and based on a story by Stephen King. McKellen portrayed a fugitive Nazi officer living under a false name in the US who is befriended by a curious teenager (Brad Renfro) who threatens to expose him unless he tells his story in detail. He was subsequently nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in Gods and Monsters (Bill Condon, 1998), wherein he played of Frankenstein (1931) director James Whale.
Ian McKellen was cast, again under the direction of Bryan Singer, to play the comic book supervillain Magneto in X-Men (2000) and its sequels X2: X-Men United (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). He later made a short appearance as an older Magneto in X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), sharing the role with Michael Fassbender, who played a younger version of the character in X-Men: First Class (2011). While filming the first X-Men film in 1999, McKellen was cast as the wizard Gandalf in Peter Jackson's three-film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002), and The Return of the King (2003) . He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role. He provided the voice of Gandalf for several video game adaptations of the Lord of the Rings films, then reprised the role on screen in Jackson's film adaptation of The Hobbit, which was released in three parts from 2012 to 2014. He also appeared as Sir Leigh Teabing in The Da Vinci Code (Ron Howard, 2006) opposite Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou. McKellen portrayed Sherlock Holmes in Holmes (Bill Condon, 2017), and Cogsworth in the live-action adaptation of Disney's Beauty and the Beast (Bill Condon, 2017), starring Emma Watson. Also in 2017, McKellen appeared in the documentary McKellen: Playing the Part, (Joe Stephenson, 2017), which explores McKellen's life and career as an actor. McKellen's first partner was Brian Taylor, a history teacher from Bolton. Their relationship lasted from 1964 till 1972. In 1978 he met his second partner, actor-director Sean Mathias. This relationship lasted until 1988, and the couple worked later together on the film Bent (Sean Mathias, 1997) as well as in several stage productions. In 1988, McKellen came out to the general public on BBC Radio. The controversial Section 28 of the Local Government Bill was then under consideration in the British Parliament. McKellen became active in fighting the proposed law, and, during a BBC Radio 3 programme where he debated Section 28 with the conservative journalist Peregrine Worsthorne, declared himself gay. Section 28 was, however, enacted and remained on the statute books until 2000 in Scotland and 2003 in England and Wales. McKellen has continued to be very active in LGBT rights efforts. Ian McKellen was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990 for his efforts in the arts. Ian Mc Kellen stays active for the cameras. He can soon be seen in Bill Condon's The Good Liar (2019) opposite Helen Mirren and as Gus, the theatre cat in Cats (Tom Hooper, 2019).
