Magneto, a Marvel Comics character, is one of the most iconic and powerful mutants in the Marvel Universe. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, he first appeared in "X-Men" #1 in 1963. Magneto is a mutant with the ability to generate and manipulate magnetic fields. This power grants him control over all forms of metal and magnetic materials. Magneto can fly by manipulating magnetic fields around himself, levitating and propelling through the air.

 Magneto, also known as Erik Lehnsher, is a Holocaust survivor, and his traumatic experiences during World War II significantly influenced his worldview and motivations.
