How would you fix the Magneto aging problem if his ties to WW II must be kept as well as his being a contemporary of Xavier?
I honestly don’t know.
Fortunately, that hasn’t been a problem I’ve needed to grapple with, apart from his now-severed familial connection to Wanda and Pietro.
I think that in the long run, he and Professor X aren’t going to be able to remain as contemporaries.
Obviously this doesn’t help, but I was thinking, if X-Men started now, having Magneto come out of the Cultural Revolution in China during Chairman Mao’s time (70′s/80′s) would give him a similar view of “man’s inhumanity to man” with the communist regime having shipped millions of their own people off to labour camps. If Magneto was Chinese, and hailed from that time, while maybe Charles was from Hong Kong? Taiwan? They could be contemporaries, in a cultural sense. Doesn’t solve current Magneto though, of course. lol
