Biography: Born in Berlin, Germany & raised in England, Magnus lived through a slightly rough life style. He lived in a time when money was not so easy to obtain from lack of jobs & thus making food hard to obtain. As a child, Magnus was left with only his father, as his mother died giving birth to him. Life in Germany was difficult for Magnus, with a lack of education & constantly being picked on by the higher class, things didn't seem all that well for him or his father. It was a lifestyle he absolutely hated. A world where you could trust no one. But that all changed when they finally had enough money to move & thus traveled to England. There, things started to become much better for Magnus. His father got a job that paid well & even he got himself a small job to help build some money. As Magus reached more closer to his teens, he started his education in schools, where he soon even fell in love with one of the school girls. During this time, Magnus began to show a unique interest in dinosaurs. Like any young boy, he was fascinated by the dinosaurs shear size, history & facts & always wanted to learn more. But unfortunately....Disaster struck! For terror & destruction had come to England in the form......Of HYDRA! The evil forces came in to storm England by force! They destroyed buildings, they burnt down Magnus's school, thus resulting in the death of his first ever love & the most tragic moment of all.......His father was murdered. From this day, no matter what it took, young Magnus swore vengeance upon the people who took everything away from him! He vowed revenge upon everyone who ruined his life! In fact, he himself, even as a child, killed a HYDRA soldier for the murder of his father & thus placed in imprisonment. But fortunately, young Magnus was able to escape & flee England where he soon came to America.
From there on, Magnus grew older to become a very vengeful man. He became ruthless & easily angered if nothing went his way! But deep down, all he wanted was peace. All he wanted was to create things in his own image- a peaceful image. Thus, he set off to do just that. But a new opportunity arose when Dinosaurs were finally created as living, breathing creatures. He soon sought to become a dinosaur owner & had since owned a few of his own. His dreams as a boy of having his own dinosaurs had come true. But soon, another event struck Magnus when he finally became an adult- Love. He had fallen in love with a beautiful woman & soon, the two were married two years later. From there, the next big chapter of Magus's life began as his wife gave birth to three children. Two baby girls & a single boy- , Pietro, Wanda & Angela Mendes. But unfortunately, their mother passed away after a car accident. Thus leaving Magnus in grief & sorrow. But now, he had his legacy to raise & to nurture. His two daughters were all he had left of their mother & thus swore to raise them with all his heart.
Upon the years of his daughter's growing up, Magnus had begun to show a fascination in science. Primarily in the field of Magnetism. So he decided to use his own knowledge to create his own form of entertainment. He created gloves with tech inside that would allow him to manipulate the field of Magnetism. He would be able to lift metal off the ground or bend it with a gesture of his hand. This soon caught the attention of the media industry & thus was given the nickname "The Master of Magnetism."
Soon enough, more tragedies occurred! For HYDRA, the same evil organization that took his former life away from him, was now manufacturing their own dinosaurs! He would not allow this! He also witnessed a few accounts of dinosaurs being abused by owners & other people! He would not allow this at all! & So, he set before himself a single major goal- To free all dinosaurs from violence & chaos! To be kept in true peace & paradise by his own hands! In some cases, he often took dinosaurs by force! Using his own tech he made to free dinosaurs from their prisons. From there, Magnus soon prepared his own, private dinosaur enclosure on an island near India. An island he calls Genosha. There, dinosaurs live more peacefully & freely under his watchful eye. But a startling truth was to be revealed to him! It was as if fate had been following him through his whole life. For Eric Mendes was in fact, the descendant of his long aged ancestor.....The Master of Magnetism himself- Magneto!
After realizing his fate & his destiny, Magnus soon took up the name for himself & constructed a single suit to honor his name & his similar goal- to bring peace. Soon enough, his goals would be pushed into more affect & his reputation would proceed far & wide as the JFC tournaments had finally arrived. There, Magnus sought to show his true power & the power of his dinosaurs to the world! His reputation as a ruthless & powerful JFC fighter would soon come to be. His battle strategies were flawless & has won many battles & several tournaments over his career. He has even encouraged his own daughters to get involved as well. From those days onward, Magnus has continued to push his plans for an enlightened world for dinosaurs. A world in which they can live in peace without the interference of man. But he never forgets his true enemies. As he vows one day, for the next time HYDRA strikes.....He will be there. To see their end.
