Ive always been a bigger fan of the X-Men and Batman animated series of the early 90s, probably two of the most popular, yet underrated TV series of their time. Maybe Gargoyles at a distant third, they were different types of series in that they seemed to be made for preteens but I always felt they had more of an adult, mature, moodier themes and characters. Certainly different from other "kids' series at the time or ones that came before it. I dont see Magneto as a villian at all especially if you look at his Jewish background surviving Auschwitz but the Nazis killing his parents because they were judged as being different and racially inferior by those in power. I think his hatred towards humans and humanity in general is completely justified compared to a niave, young impressionable Xavier who came from a rich privileged background in New York telling him that humanity and mutants can co-exist. He didnt lose his family or see his people gassed in death camps and its not even fair to label Magneto a racist or a bigot, he can just point to all of the mounds of mass graves, Einzsangruppen death squads, and death camps as evidence exhibits to prove his point that humans are paranoid, rash, immoral beings that want to eradicate his kind, again. They tried to systematically wipe out Magneto before simply because he was a Jew, his emotions and actions are just realistic.
MR Rogers is definitely my favorite X-Men villain
