Fathers of comics: Magneto

Of all of the fathers in comic books, the most famous may well be Magneto, mostly because of who his kids are. Namely Pietro and Wanda Maximoff - Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch (and of course there is still the possibility that Polaris is an offspring of Magneto too).

Although Erik Lehnsherr was probably not the best father-figure growing up, he sure passed on a lot of talents to his children.

Here are some great Magneto collectibles...

X-Men #112 (1978)

X-Men #112

A great cover that has Magneto doing what he does best - making life difficult for the X-Men.
(If you want to track down Magneto's first appearance you'll have to splurge for it in 1963's X-Men #1)

Marvel Select Magneto Figure by Diamond Select Toys (2011)

This highly detailed figure looms large at 7" tall and includes a base of conquered x-artifacts. Can be found on Amazon and elsewhere for about $25.

Marvel Legends Infinite Series Magneto Figure by Hasbro (2014)

Marvel Legends Infinite Series Magneto Figure

This Marvel Legends Infinite Series X-Men line was exclusive to Toys "R" Us and can be tricky to track down, especially the master of magnetism. If you can find a sealed one on eBay or at a toy show it may cost you upwards of $200 right now.

Magneto Statue by Bowen Designs (2006)

Magneto Statue by Bowen Designs

BD did two Magneto statues, and this pose is our personal favorite of the two (although the action version is pretty nice too).
This version came out first and was limited to 2000 pieces.  Goes for around $300 on eBay.

Big belated thanks to all the great Dads out there!

See y'all tomorrow for Top 10 Friday!
