This spot, as well as the next one, was a bit of a dilemma, as the two characters on spots ten and nine are almost equally important, but we ultimately chose this order because we wanted to give a small advantage to the good guy. Still, Magneto is certainly one of Marvel’s best characters and despite usually being portrayed as a supervillain, he is loved by all. His dark background as well as his motivations for being a supervillain are extremely intriguing, but the fact that he has risen above his traumas and convictions to help the good guys on more than one occasion shows just how complex and layered he is. A lot of work has been put into Magneto’s development and we decided to honor that by listing him here.
Welcome to discuss the world of these superheroes!
