Magneto is a fictional character that appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Magneto is the X-Men's first and most famous adversary. The character has made frequent appearances in X-Men books since their beginning, as well as in a number of television, movie, and videogame adaptations.

A powerful mutant with the ability to generate and control magnetic fields, Magneto desired mutants to eventually dominate the human race as he viewed humans as an outdated species that no longer deserves its continual domination over the world. However, writers have since fleshed out his character and origin, revealing him to be a Jewish Holocaust survivor whose actions are driven by the purpose of protecting the mutant race from suffering a similar fate. His role in comics has varied from supervillain to antihero to superhero.
