X-Men: Magneto Testament 1-5 Complete

is a five-issue limited series published by Marvel Comics under its Marvel Knights imprint from November 2008 to March 2009. In the Marvel Knights tradition of dealing with more mature themes, it goes back to the year 1935 to show the difficulties and horrors the boy Erik Lensherr faced growing up Jewish in Nazi-occupied Germany and his evolution to become Magneto, the Master of Magnetism and the most terrible foe the X-Men have ever faced. This is the official and definitive account of the origins of one of comic books' most enigmatic and controversial fictional characters, a super-villain to most, an anti-hero to some and even an unsung hero to those who might truly understand him.
