HISTORY: Magnus is the son of Magneto and Rogue. He had the
potential to be even more of a "master of magnetism" than his father
had been. When he reached his early teens his powers took a frightening turn.
Like his mother; Magnus' touch was deadly, but it did not steal another
person's identities and powers - it turned them to steel. Encased in bio-armor,
physically separated from the world, Magnus became a distant, reclusive man.
Magnus was summoned with the rest of the original Exiles
to a barren desert. Greeted by the Timebroker, Magnus was informed
that if he did not complete the missions set before him his reality
would change. On his thirteenth birthday he would accidentally
turn his mother into steel and drive his father to resume his
war against humanity. On their first mission as a team, the Exiles
were sent to a world where all mutants had been imprisoned. The
only clue the Tallus gave them was they needed to "find the
one who would lead us." Most of the team, including Magnus,
assumed their greatest teacher was Professor Xavier. The Exiles
freed Xavier from his cell and discovered he was a man obsessed
with revenge against the humans who imprisoned him. He mentally
knocked out the team and went on a rampage, murdering thousands.
The team discovered they should have sought out Magnus' father,
Magneto. Magnus felt guilty for not having realized his father
may have been a leader in other realities and vowed to make amends.
Magnus used his magnetic powers to free Magneto and hundreds of other mutants imprisoned off the coast of Tahiti. During the jailbreak, Magnus discovered the prison was rigged to explode an atomic bomb if any of the mutants broke free. He attempted to dismantle the bomb but it was made of plastic out of fear of his "father's" amazing powers. Magnus encased the entire island in a magnetic field and sacrificed himself so this reality's version of his father could survive to make a difference. It is unknown how Magnus' death will effect his home reality.

SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Magnus is a mutant who can control and
manipulate multiple energy fields including heat, radiation, and radio waves.
He can create magnetic fields that allow himself and others to fly. If Magnus
comes into skin-to-skin contact with anyone, he will transform them into steel.
SPECIAL LIMITATIONS: Magnus was encased in body armor which
contained his power, preventing him from coming into physical contact with anyone.
