Lifting the Stadium (X-Men: Days of Future Past)

In an ultimate display of power, Magneto lifts an entire stadium just so he could disrupt the unveiling of Sentinels. It’s a visually captivating scene that showcases his amazing power. Not to mention, his entrance at the stadium is quite the event.

Interrogating the Bank Teller (X-Men: First Class)

First Class saw a vengeful Magneto out for blood as he goes around finding Sebastian Shaw. In doing so he meets a bank teller first who knew Shaw during the Nazi Germany days. Erik is the most intimidating in the scene as he interrogates the teller.

Bar Scene (X-Men: First Class)

In an another really intimidating scene from X-Men: First Class, Erik goes to a bar where he finds another soldiers from the Nazi Germany era. It’s his first true showcase of his powers as he has it in control. Erik takes them out in the most entertaining way possible.

Mourning Family’s Death (X-Men: Apocalypse)

As the militia in Poland finds out that Erik is a mutant, they kidnap his daughter. When Erik’s daughter showcases signs of mutant power, the militia kills her and Erik’s wife. This sends him into a fit of rage and he kills the entire militia. Fassbender’s acting in this scene is some of the best in this franchise.

Fight With Shaw (X-Men: First Class)

Magneto finally gets to enact his revenge on Shaw in this scene. After Charles is able to take over Shaw’s mind for a few minutes, Magneto makes the most of it by killing him using the same Nazi coin from his childhood. This was Magneto’s turning point and he became into the villain we all know and love.

We really hope Magneto somehow returns to play this character, because he is truly brilliant. With this we finish off the list and wish Michael Fassbender a very happy birthday.
