Main article: Magneto

His powers of magnetism still powerful, but his mastery of them broken, Magneto fights to protect new mutants from a world that hates and fears them. With control of his powers weakened, he uses the foresight and scheming developed in his years of villainy to defend mutant rights, though his checkered past makes it difficult for his companions to trust him.

Level 2: Increases tiles destroyed to 12, +1 AP Cost.
Level 3: Increases tiles destroyed to 20, +1 to countdown timer, +2 AP Cost.
Level 4: Increases tiles destroyed to 28, +1 to countdown timer.

Note: At max character level, the expected average damage due to tile destruction at power level 5 is 1893.

Level Upgrades:
Level 2: Changes 2 selected tiles to Blue.
