* CategoryTraitor: Briar jokes that she is this for funding a community of traumatized mutants on Genosha. In reality, SHIELD doesn't mind that she supports mutant concentration camp survivors, but they do have a tiny problem with her hiding a terrorist. At any rate, that's the joke that gets her laid.

* BloodSport: Magneto uncovers a Hong Kong underground fight club that kidnaps mutants and forces them to fight against the vicious Predator X, a genetically engineered monster that instinctively hunts anything with the X-Gene.

[[caption-width-right:200:Still the Master of Magnetism]]

Once the deadliest, most feared mutant mastermind on the planet, ComicBook/{{Magneto}} is no longer the man he once was. After falling in with Cyclops and the X-Men, Erik Lehnsherr became just one more pawn in another man’s war. But now, determined to fight the war for mutantkind’s survival on his own terms, Magneto sets out to regain what he’s lost…and show the world exactly why it should tremble at the sound of his name. Magneto will safeguard the future of the mutant race by hunting down each and every threat that would see his kind extinguished—and bloody his hands that they may never be a threat again.

Launched in March 2014, the Magneto solo-series follows after the events of ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'' #16 and picks up after a TimeSkip, where Magneto is one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most wanted and doing what he can to protect the mutant race by crossing lines others won't.
----
!!This 2014 series provides examples of:

* AntiHero: Magneto has no qualms about maiming, torturing, or killing anyone if he believes it will in some way keep innocent mutants safe.
* BadassLongcoat: Magneto sports a black trenchcoat when he needs to hide his suit.
* BigBad: Red Skull turns out to behind most of the anti-mutant operations in the first 12 issues, as part of the ''ComicBook/{{AXIS}}'' event.
* BloodierAndGorier: Compared to most other X-Men comics. Magneto is shown graphically murdering others with various metal implements in nearly every issue.
* CombatPragmatist: Because he can't go toe-to-toe with most others due to his broken powers, he straight up ambushes and kills without fanfare.
* DoomedByCanon: The ''Last Days'' tie-in focuses on Magneto trying to destroy the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Earth before it can collide with Earth-616. Anyone who has read the first issue of ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' knows this is futile, since the two worlds end up colliding anyway.
* FantasticDrug: Mutant Growth Hormone. Magento takes it himself, but he had it made using his own blood.
* FinalSolution: Red Skull's plans for mutants. He's also extended it to Inhumans as well.
* ForegoneConclusion: The ''Last Days'' tie-in focuses on Magneto trying to destroy the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Earth before it can collide with Earth-616. Anyone who has read the first issue of ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' knows this is futile, since the two worlds end up colliding anyway.
* FreudianExcuse: The S-Men, Minzee in particular, lost their homes and family due to Magneto or mutant actions.
* HeelFaceBrainwashing: Magneto does this to a bunch of clones of the Marauders.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice:
** Magneto kills a man by tearing out his fillings and "replacing" them with street signs.
** Magneto used rusty nails to deal with a bunch of armed men. No one got out with a few all over.
* ItsPersonal: Minzee lost his family due to the Acolytes attacking him while being led by Magneto years ago. When they meet again he wants blood.
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: Averted. We get a look into a past incident during one of Magneto's rampages, and meet with a victim who decides to work with Magneto so that this trope goes into effect.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:Magneto's body turns to ashes as his power overloads in the final issue.]]
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Samuel just gave Magneto soup while under an alias because he seemed down on his luck. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have the authorities kick the people there off the land and are trying to bring him in for questioning when he clearly doesn't know a thing.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Magneto doesn't play around. No second chances, no warnings, nothing.
* NoticeThis: A comic book example. Metal objects are shown in a distinctive shade of blue in each scene, so as to show [[MagnetismManipulation what weapons Magneto can potentially use]].
* PaintItBlack: Magneto has switched from his White costume to a Black one to mark his change in mindset.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Red Skull, the S-Men, the Purifiers...
* PowerIncontinence:
** When Magneto was doused with the Phoenix Force's Flame he had his power altered and fluctuated. He gets aroud this by using MGH made of his own genetic material.
** Amy, the mutant who Magneto met during Axis in Red Skull's camp, [[spoiler:had her powers fall out of her control and made Hitzig who haunted Magneto's mind real. To stop it, he had to [[MercyKilling put her down]].]]
* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:All Magneto's efforts were for nothing, as he realized in the end.]]
* StalkerWithACrush: Briar Raleigh would be this for Magneto. [[spoiler: To be exact, she started off as a wealthy woman who went to Seattle to visit her boyfriend and had her leg crushed by a car because of a rampage Magneto was committing at the time.

Magneto was fairly disgusted upon knowing this.]]
* UnwillingRoboticisation: A vagrant is made into a cheap knock-off of an Omega Sentinel and forced to kill mutants. He's [[MercyKilling put down]] by Magneto.
* VillainousRescue: When the combined forces of the X-Men and the Avengers are falling before a gang of hero-hunting Sentinels, Magneto puts together a team of A-list villains [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg (and the Hobgoblin)]] to fly to the rescue. And it is ''glorious''.
