Magneto was meant to be a stand in for Malcom X...
Malcom X's only crime was that white people were afraid of him. Meaning he did nothing wrong.
So Magneto can't be a villain unless you have him gripping the villain ball pretty hard.
I get the sentiment. But literally every single creator has come out and said he wasn't based on Malcolm X.
