Answer: Anya

Anya had a brief life, being killed in a fire. A mob held Erik Lensherr back, preventing him from rescuing his daughter. In response, Lensherr's magnetic powers activate and kill all the townspeople. This terrifies Magda, and she runs away, giving birth to twins shortly before disappearing.

Erik Lensherr would later become Magneto. The twins would become the mutant superheroes Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch.

Answer: Georg Odekirk

Odekirk was a master at the art of forgery, and Erik Lensherr became Erik Lehnsherr, a Gypsy, as Magda was. While it was not much of an alias, it fooled enough people. Magneto later killed Odekirk to cover his trail.

Answer: Haifa

Haifa is a town in Israel. While at the hospital, both men engaged in long debates about the place of mutants in the world, although neither knew that the other was a mutant at that time. They would later reveal their powers to each other and defeat Baron von Strucker together.

Answer: Control

A shadowy organization with an even more mysterious leader known only as Control, the group employed Magneto after Magda left him. Magneto was a good hunter, but the group decided to kill him. Magneto instead killed them all.

Answer: San Marco

Magneto wished to make San Marco the global homeland for mutants, but his attempts were thwarted by the X-Men. This wasn't the first time they had met, however. Magneto had previously attempted to destroy an American military base.

Answer: Alpha the Ultimate Mutant

Magneto created Alpha using technology he found near the center of the Earth. His intelligence increased whenever he used his powers, once turning the Hulk into a statue and fusing another hero's feet to the ground. He later left to explore the universe.

Answer: The Wasp

The Wasp is actually Janet van Dyne, a longtime member of the Avengers and love interest of Doctor Henry Pym. She has the power to shrink down to the size of a wasp, obviously. The Secret Wars was an event wherein the cosmic entity known as the Beyonder gathered a group of heroes and villains to battle each other on an alien planet. Because the characters were grouped according to their beliefs, Magneto was placed with the heroes.

Answer: Asteroid M

Following the conclusion of the Secret Wars, Magneto was brought to Asteroid M by the powers of the Beyonder. Warlock crashed into the asteroid, destroying it and hurtling Magneto down to Earth, where he sustained serious injuries. He was nursed back to health by a woman with whom he shared a brief romantic fling.

Answer: Michael Xavier

By this time Magneto's views on humanity had softened, and he was trying to make amends. Weakened by a battle with Fenris, Charles Xavier told Magneto to take over his school, which would be redemption enough. However, Magneto's tenure as headmaster did not go well, and Xavier eventually returned to his students.
