Mandatory Questions
1. What about you is heroic?
The fact that I'm going to be the one who elevates homo superior to the place where they belong and the fact that I have given purpose and a place to so many displaced mutants everywhere.
2. What about you is social? What do you like about people?
If by people you mean mutants, well shouldn't it be obvious. We are the next step in evolution and the rightful rulers of humanity. As for social, well...I did found the Brotherhood and have a standing membership with the Hellfire Club, how much more social do you need?
3. Of what benefit could you be to group you're currently affiliated with/intend to be affiliated with?
I founded the Brotherhood so I would say that is a large benefit in and of itself....wouldn't you? Of course, just to humor you....no one has a better idea of what we mutants face and what type of threat the homo sapiens pose to us. Without me, we'll all be wandering around in a death camp wearing shoddy rags for clothes with some ill conceived and idiotic symbol upon our foreheads.
4. Why would/did you choose to join this group?
To put it better, why did I form this group? Why to bring a sense of family and camaraderie to mutants everywhere and to help keep us safe against any threat the homo sapiens pose to us.
Personal Questions
5. What is your real, birth name? What name do you use?
If you wish to label me in some way, then I suppose you can call me Erik Magnus Lehnsherr and I find Magneto to work quite well.
6. Do you have a nickname? What is it, and where did you get it?
If you would refer to the question just before this one, then you wouldn't have to ask this one, but for the sake of ignorance on your part, Magneto.
7. What do you look like?
I like to think of myself as distinguished and rather handsome. Any man of my age should be thrilled to look this good.
8. How do you dress most of the time?
Well, I prefer a black pair of slacks and dress shirt of sorts, not to mention a cape, of course, the cape is for outing purposes only.
9. How do you "dress up?"
Mostly a nice pair of slacks and dress shirt, dress shoes as well. A gentleman should always look his best, but no ties....I find them.....restricting and they remind me too much of a collar or leash.
10. How do you "dress down?"
I've been known to wear a pair of old slacks and dress shirt, sleeves rolled up of course, and a old coat and ball cap. Robes tend to work well also, especially when your a wanted mutant terrorist.
11. What do you wear when you go to sleep?
White tank top and a pair of cotton sleep pants, usually purple or red.
12. Do you wear any jewelry?
A man wearing jewery....how absurd and ridiculous. That money is better spent on furthering my cause.
13. In your opinion, what is your best feature?
People have commented on my eyes quite often, but then again we can't forget my hair either. A man of my age rarely keeps this much hair for so long.
14. What's your real birth date?
And of what consequence is this to you? Besides, when you spend a few years in a Nazi death camp, you sort of quite celebrating birthdays.
15. Where do you live? Describe it: Is it messy, neat, avant-garde, sparse, etc.?
Not the best choice to set up living quarters, but it works. I guess sparse would be the best word but seeing as how I have so many young hooligans running around, things tend to get a bit messy, that's why I don't allow them in my room.
16. Do you own a car? Describe it.
A car?....Are you serious? Why would I need such a foolish device? After all, I can fly you know.
17. What is your most prized mundane possession? Why do you value it so much?
I don't have time for such petty material things. Such wants only tie you down to one place and leave you vulnerable.
18. What one word best describes you?
Savior.
