HistoryEdit

Magda Lehnsherr was the wife of Max Eisenhardt, later known as Erik Lehnsherr or Magneto. While working at a school in Nurnberg, Germany with her mother, Anya, Max was attracted to Magda. Max would do things, such as create necklaces and excel in sporting events, to gain her attention. At some point, Magda and Anya were sent to Marzahn Detention Camp and later reunited with Max in the Vernichtungslager Extermination Camp in Auschwitz, Poland. Max saved Magda from the gas chambers and then from execution; as Auschwitz was being evacuated, the two of them escaped together.

For several years, Max and Magda lived in a Carpathian Mountain village, and eventually they were married. Magda soon gave birth to their daughter, Anya Eisenhardt. Max, at that point, sought out a forger, named Georg Odekirk, who was supposed to be amongst the best, and asked him to create a new identity for him and his family. Odekirk used the identity of the deceased "Erik Lehnsherr, the Sinte gypsy", so Max could live more easily amongst Magda's own people. Not satisfied with the simple life of a mountain village, Erik moved his family to the, then, Soviet city of Vinnitsa, so he could better himself.

When a fire broke-out in the inn that Magda and her family were staying in, Anya was trapped on the upper floors and a mob of people prevented Erik from rescuing her. Enraged, Erik's powers manifested uncontrollably, killing the men holding him, the crowd watching, and a large section of the city of Vinnitsa. Traumatized by both her daughter's death and Erik's new powers, Magda fled him, discovering months later she was pregnant again. After giving birth to the mutant twins, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, under the care of Bova Ayrshire on Wundagore Mountain, Magda fled into the wilderness, angry and scared, and soon perished in the cold.^[1]
