COMIC BOOKS MAKE MY HEAD HURT*
*Also in which I muse about Magneto's kids and propose fanfic and more Charles/Erik epic love.
( Magneto has kids? Who is their mother, I wonder? )

Pietro and Wanda are super-fun; they started out in the Brotherhood without even knowing Magneto was their father, and then they ended up as heroes on the Avengers for a while, and blah blah blah tons of complicated comics events, lol. They have such a complicated, fraught relationship with their father that it's really fun to play around with. :)a There should be more First Class fics incorporating Erik's kids, I only know of one right now.
As for 'Erik Lensherr', I think that's the 'real name' the writers gave him early on; he started out just this two-dimensional villain 'Magneto', and then some writer had Charles call him 'Magnus', and then he was called Erik Lensherr and so he became Erik Magnus Lensherr, and then they retconned that into being an alias and going with Max Eisenhardt. I think. >_>a And seeing as how I didn't even know the name 'Max Eisenhardt' until I googled Magneto after seeing First Class, I doubt that it's really caught on in terms of how the fans mentally label the man.

Damn, I more and more want to write it now...:P
Haha, yeah, I watched a clip of the X-Men animated show and Charles calls him Magnus and all the comments in the post are like "MAGNUS?!?!" I really think Magneto is as bad as Magnus (comic books so love their literal superhero names - I prefer names like "The Comedian" and "Dr Manhattan," also Constantine. Less inyourface! obvious.). I much prefer Erik Lehnsherr to Max, so I'm going to go with the original.lol
Thanks for all the info! It's rather obvious I'm just not a comic book geek. Until fairly recently. (It all started with Watchmen. If only JDM hadn't been in the movie...)
