    No, Magneto is still canonically a victim of the Nazi regime. But he’s also canonically perpetually in his middle age/early old age. How? 🤷‍♂️ Don’t worry about it.

      In First Class, Sebastian Shaw says that he’s going to start a nuclear WW3 so that mutants can take over the remains of civilization, because mutants aren’t affected by radiation.

      I choose to believe that in the Fox X-Men universe, mutants also aren’t affected by solar radiation or cosmic rays that can damage skin or DNA, so their aging isn’t negligible, but it’s markedly slower than baseline humanity.

      He got turned into a baby and then shortly after reverted to being back in his prime. More recently he died and was brought back - so pretty much par-for-the-course.

        Ah, comics. Never change.

        Or do. Actually please do. Let Peter Parker grow old and have a happy family, damn it!
