Be that as it may, that's who the character is and what he's meant to be, as per his creators. Of all the Marvel villains in existence by the early 80s, he was one of the most retarded choices to give a redemption story to, because he was so evil, but the fandom's general willingness to disregard everything from before Claremont, and a backstory tied to the one historical tragedy everyone learns about at school is deliberately crafted to make readers sympathetic to him no matter what insane villain plot he does.
>>149284886 is right about how Claremont just created an OC that's wearing the name and appearance of Magneto like a skinsuit, and in the long run it would have been for the best if he really had been told to just create an OC, because virtually everyone else at Marvel either preferred the old Magneto, or simply felt that it didn't matter whether Claremont's stories were any good or not, that guy was just not redemption material after everything he'd done, and they weren't willing to just pretend none of that ever happened. Those guys being the actual other writers of 80s Marvel means none of them shared the X-fag mentality that Claremont was on a whole other level to the rest of them and deserved special treatment to do whatever he wanted, with Bendis-tier disregard for prior continuity and characterization.
Magneto's treatment of his Brotherhood is impossible to reconcile with the idea of him actually caring about 'his people', he's a bullying, abusive tyrant who doesn't care about his minions at all. The way modern Marvel are writing Wanda as liking Magneto is stupid and awful.
By the time of the page >>149276115 posted, Magneto had reverted to being a villain again, and after the things he did in the 90s and early 2000s, giving him ANOTHER redemption arc was an insane idea, he'd proven himself a monster time and time again, and this time he'd killed millions.
