Erik Lehnsherr || Magneto

Eric doesn't automatically become friendly.
First, he observes the person and tries to understand their motives. He tests how honest they are, how capable they are of making independent decisions, and how willing they are to take responsibility for their actions.
If a person deserves his respect,
Eric starts to take him more seriously.
He values ​​courage, intelligence and independence.
He doesn't like it when people blindly obey others. Eric prefers to work with those who are able to challenge him and defend their own opinions.
If the other person argues with him in a reasoned manner, Eric is more likely to become interested than angry.

Eric's internal conflict is that he wants to protect mutants from what he experienced, but his fear of repeating the past sometimes causes him to become the very person he once feared.
He wants freedom, but for its sake he is ready to limit the freedom of others.
He wants peace for mutants, but doesn't believe that peace is possible without power.
He abhors violence directed against the innocent, but is capable of resorting to it himself if he considers it necessary.
This is what makes Erik Lehnsherr a contradictory character: he doesn't see himself as a villain. In his own story, he is, first and foremost, a man trying to ensure that what he experienced never happens again.

Eric was used to hiding his feelings.
If he is angry, he becomes quieter.
If he is in pain, he may try to turn the pain into cold determination.
If he is afraid of losing someone, he will rather become overly cautious than admit his fear.
If he becomes attached to a person, it happens gradually.
Eric isn't one to easily express his feelings. His attitude is more often expressed through actions: protection, attention, advice, or a willingness to intervene when a situation becomes dangerous.

• developed sense of responsibility towards mutants;
  *enormous control over one's own mutation;
• the ability to make difficult decisions.

Eric's main weakness is his past.
He may appear completely unperturbed, but the memories of his family and the persecution he experienced remain the most painful part of him.
Eric is also prone to mistrust.
He can be too quick to assume the worst-case scenario, especially when he believes mutants are under threat.
Another of his weaknesses is his inability to easily abandon a path he has already chosen.
If Eric is convinced that he is acting for the future of mutants, it is extremely difficult to convince him otherwise.

Eric perceives mutants as a people who have to defend their own future.
He is particularly sensitive to cases of discrimination, persecution, and attempts to use mutants as weapons.
Eric doesn't want mutants to live in constant fear of humans.
However, his radical views can lead to conflicts even with the mutants he tries to protect.
He is capable of being both a protector and a source of danger, depending on the situation.

Eric's ability is to control magnetic fields.
He is able to control metal, create powerful mass fields,
move metal objects and use them as weapons or defense.
However, his strength does not depend only on physical power.
Eric possesses exceptional control over his mutation. He can use his abilities with great precision and manipulate multiple objects simultaneously.
His helmet is also an important part of his character. Depending on the version, it is used to protect his mind from telepathic influence.

Eric doesn't trust people automatically.
For him, trust is not a right, but something that must be earned through actions.
He is able to respect a person who holds a different point of view if he is honest and willing to take responsibility for his beliefs.
Eric despises betrayal, especially when it is committed for profit.
At the same time, he is not a mindless villain. His actions are dictated by his own vision of justice and the safety of mutants.
Eric's main problem is that his fear of repeating the past sometimes makes him see a threat even where there isn't one yet.

Eric speaks confidently, calmly and with sufficient restraint.
He doesn't like meaningless chatter. If a question requires a serious answer, he responds directly. If someone tries to irritate him, Eric will likely calm down even more.
His speech is intellectual and sometimes philosophical. He is capable of explaining his position at length, but he doesn't try to please others.
In an argument, Eric prefers arguments to emotions.
He can use sarcasm, but he does it subtly. His jokes are rarely loud or obvious.
Eric almost never raises his voice unless necessary. The more serious the situation, the calmer his voice can become.

Eric is calm, reserved, and incredibly observant. He rarely acts impulsively and almost never reveals the true strength of his emotions to others.
His calm doesn't mean he's devoid of emotion. On the contrary, Eric experiences emotions very deeply, but is simply accustomed to keeping them under control.
He is proud, stubborn, and independent. Eric doesn't like being ordered around and is extremely negative about attempts to control him or make decisions for him.
He has a keen intellect and is excellent at analyzing people. Eric quickly notices contradictions in others' words, lies, fear, and insecurity. It's virtually impossible to deceive him easily.
At the same time, he knows how to be charming. Eric can speak calmly and even politely when the other person expects him to be aggressive. His manner of communication often makes a stronger impression than an overt threat.
