Is Magneto Actually a Villain? Or Is he More of a Good Guy?

Think about it, hes not fighting for world domination or conquest. He's fighting for Mutant rights, in a more military way. He just wants mutants to be respected and not feared or hated.

So Is He Really a Villain?

The means with which he attempts to reach his goals make him a villain imo...

He has seen mankind at its worst, and his insistence at stopping history repeating itself is admirable, but again, its his methods that make him the bad guy in my view...

If his best friend realises the need to stop him, then surely that says something about him...

He is a complex character though, and the best thing about villains is when you can identify with their reasons and motivations, and at times even like them...

Regardless, if Magneto was told tomorrow that the only way to assure Mutant superiority was to kill the x-men, xavier and alot of humans, i don't think he'd hesitate for a second...

To add, thinking that Mutants should be superior over humans makes Magneto a VILLAIN.

Good point, paul.

Nice tuh see yah again...

Magneto is only fighting for the survival of his own kind.

It's just his methods of doing it are wrong. He's ruthless, but his intentions are for the good of mutants.

But you really cannot justify murder. So yes he is a villain.

As what everybody says... yet, because of that, he becomes a VILLAIN.

He's a terrorist. If you ask me, its not the terrorists often that are evil. They are mislead and crap by the evil guys and suffer hatred and horrors. They lash out to defend themsekves and fight for their beliefs. I cannot condone terrorism, but i can understand it, and even empathise with it.

Because he runs out of choice sometimes, he sees them as advantage in his evil intentions.

Good intentions mean sh##. This is what Hitler thought he was doing. Way to much to discuss so I'll leave it as, "an extremely misguided super-villan."

Magneto fights and his reasons are understandable.
We live in a world where having not-white skin is still considered a problem or something wrong from most of the people, some of them are just sufficiently smart to avoid saying it.
Think about a world where from one day to another young and not young people show superhuman powers, phase shifting, superstrength, flight, energy manipulation and so.
Probably the reactions would make Hitler looking like a pacifist.

exactly. there will never be peace.

it is a historical fact that sharing the world has never been man's greatest strength. Xavier said it himself.

Doesn't mean you stop trying... wiping mankind out may work, but its not exactly something a good guy would do is it? stick out tongue

absolutely not.

House of M worked out fine. but just for mutants. the hate goes both ways. It just as easily could of been Magneto was a human in a House of M type world.

a villain CAN do what is best. he is just a villain cause the X-Men are the heroes. Look at Days of Future Now. He was the savior of mutants in the world he saw coming. And all the mutants knew it. Wolverine admitted that they needed him.
