Known by many names, Erik Magnus Lehnsherr is an Omega level mutant mutant who walks on gray areas to protect his race as Magneto, the master of magnetism. During his youth, he endured atrocities performed by the Nazi dictatorship in Auschwitz. After escaping, he learned at this cost of his own duaghter's life that he had the mutant ability to manipulate all forms of magnetism , a condition that caused additional hate and fear from those who were different from him. Being a target for so long and explicitly rejecting the possibility of any harmony with humans, Magneto aimed to conquer the world to enable mutants, whom he refers to as Homo superior, to become the dominant species on Earth.
As Stated above , Magneto is an Omega level mutant this means that the upper limits of Magneto's power can't be surpassed in any measurable fashion. His mutant ability grants him mastery over all forms of magnetism , over the years Magneto has shown he can utilize his immense power in a variety of different ways
