Isn't Magneto more in the "genocide you before you genocide us" camp? Understandable, but hardly heroic.
Xavier is in the "peace and no one gets genocided" camp, and still gets genocided. Magneto is right and is acting in self-defense.
Magneto also has a tendency to shoot first and target civilians, including civilians sympathetic to his cause. He's a sympathetic figure and he has a point, but he's only a hero half the time for a reason.
Well, yeah, he's on the right side, so writers have to make him do objectively unforgivable things for seemingly no reason in order to ensure the reader doesn't sympathize with someone challenging the status quo.
Yep, gets genocided by the people Magneto made popular.
yeah, it's more a Malcolm x vs Martin luther King thing. who's right and who's wrong is really a spiritual opinion.
It depends on the writer and version. Magneto ranges from mutant Hitler to Malcolm X. There are several arcs where he is clearly wrong.
Yeah but they at least generally write his mutant Hitler stories sympathetically.
He already watched the world try to exterminate his people once. He's gonna be a bit trigger happy if he notices it happening again in even the slightest degree.
