The motivations of Magneto are deeply rooted in trauma and a fierce desire to protect his people. His experiences during the Holocaust serve as a foundational element, shaping his worldview and his often-extreme methods.

While his belief in mutant superiority and his willingness to resort to force frequently put him at odds with Professor X and the X-Men, his underlying goal of ensuring mutant survival is consistently evident across various storylines and adaptations.

The exploration of his character, as initiated in the conversation between Dr. Alexander and Ursa, reveals a complex figure whose actions, though sometimes villainous, are driven by a profound and understandable fear of history repeating itself. The nuanced portrayal of Magneto continues to resonate with audiences, prompting discussions about prejudice, power, and the difficult choices faced by marginalized groups in the pursuit of safety and equality.
