I mean, it’s going to be… interesting… but the Holocaust was almost 100 years ago. That’s not me diminishing it, just pointing out modern incarnations of Magneto can’t have that backstory without being a period piece. Think about it. Even if he was six years old when WWII started, he’d be 93 by now. If we go from the beginning of the Holocaust though, he’d be 99. And that’s ‘if’ he was six. He’s usually depicted between 10 and 17 when it happens. That means he’d be between 103 and 110 years old. No 110 year old is going to be able to beat Someone like Wolverine in a fight. I don’t care what his powers are.
There are fan theories that his powers protect him from radiation and free radicals, so he can live longer. He was once turned into a baby, or they could introduce Krakoan resurrection protocols. So easily established ways to keep him as a holocaust survivor and still young. Also the magnetic guy is gonna beat the metal skeleton guy any day.
