And another site: Magneto is Jewish FAQ Page. This page mentions "New Mutants" #49, which is the story I recalled noting that it seemed to me that Chris Claremont was intending Magneto to be Jewish. I had read the other, earlier stories mentioned on that page, but that is where I felt it was more overtly suggested.

Max Eisenhardt is his new good guy name. Brand new in X-Men: Schism. Eric did lots of bad things so he wants to be called Max now. They also ripped Joe Kubert's Yossel story and gave it to Magneto. I threw up in my mouth a little when I read that.

That still could have worked, if Xavier had been drafted at 18 or 19 to serve in the last year of the war he would still have only been 28 or 29 ten years later in 1963.

I always say Xavier as much, much older when I was a kid. I never thought he was in his 20s. I think that may largely have been due to my stereotype of wheelchairs and the disabled. I just associated them with someone much older.

Eric did lots of bad things so he wants to be called Max now.•• Why do serial killers never think of this when they get caught? "John Wayne Gacey? No, I want to be called Roy Schneider from now on! There, all better!"

I always saw Professor Xavier and Reed Richards as being roughly
the same age and thought both were in their early forties.

Also being bald and a Professor lends to the impression of him being over 40.

It was hijacked by a wild pack of fanboys Aaron. "Mister we could use some men like Stan and Jack once again".

Take a gander at this letter from the Incredible Hulk #6, (March 1963) note how Stan dismisses the crazy suggestions of this reader, sadly today it would probably be considered.

That Greg Smith character might well be one of the editors at Marvel Comics today!

I never thought of Magneto having an accent at all. But then, when I first read a story with him, he didn't have a known real name.
As for his yet another name (Max): Exhibit Z as for why I don't read X-men anymore.
