8 Most Brutal Things Magneto Has Ever Done

8. The Paper Clip Trick - Collapse

Back in 2014, Marvel Comics made the call to once more give Magneto his own shiny new comic book title. Called simply Magneto (technically Vol. 3), the book centred on this multi-layered character and his battle for mutantkind - while also at times making him bear a passing resemblance to Michael Fassbender.

As we've seen over the decades, chaos and carnage often tend to follow Erik Lehnsherr wherever he goes. And this title was no different.

For poor Colton Hendry, he had a one-and-done appearance in Magneto #1's Collapse story. Targeted by a mutant hate group, Hendry is tortured and fitted with Sentinel-lite parts that turn him into some hybrid mutant murder machine.

Taking sorrow on Colton, Magneto puts him out of his misery and then readjusts his focus towards those responsible for this twisted act. That would be Dr. Elizabeth Alain, who initially refuses to spill the beans to Magneto on any and all heinous plans her and her cohorts may have.

In brutal fashion, the Master of Magnetism cuts Alain with a paper clip, which he then moves around her body as she screams in agony. Retaining the clinical edge he's so famous for, once he gets what he wants, Magneto ends up killing Alain by slicing her brain with said paper clip.
