Creative Cat Productions | Chris Claremont transformed a stock villain called Magneto into one of greatest comic characters @creativecatproductions | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 19 hours ago.

Was he a hypocrite? Both interesting questions that made reading X-Men far more interesting than it had been in the past.
