Name
For many years, Magneto's true name was unknown. It was eventually revealed that his name was Magnus, but no indication was given as to whether this was his first name or his last name. This was revealed during a flashback story called "Gold Rush" in Uncanny X-Men #161. The name Erik Lehnsherr was first provided in the third story of a 1993 one-shot issue, Magneto #0 in a story entitled "Magneto Seminar". Fifteen years later, his name was changed once again. This time it was revealed to actually be Max Eisenhardt as per X-Men: Magneto Testament #1.
