The Master of Magnetism!!!

Not a bad pic Shaman, but if we are going with someone a lil older, I say use Sir Ian, and CGI his ass!

Wulf, i for one "enjoyed" Sir Ian but in no way was he PERFECT for this role. Ed is. He has the intensity that Erik Lencher always showed. I don't even understand why Singer went with that old of an actor to portray him in the first place. Ed would OWN this role!!!

Thanks tyler, it's cause of you :))

Not bad man, not who I would have chosen, but still a great pick! I love the helmet, easily one of your best sketches yet.

my main beef with Ed is that to me, he doesn't exude a regal presense that I feel Magneto needs. But I could see him pull it off.

HAWK out

Ian was the best choice for the version of Magneto they used in the movies. However, I would like to see a more powerful, intense Magneto that still retains intelligence, and Harris fits that description like a glove.

Thanks to all the great comments and also for the different opinions! i enjoy this ALOT :))

ecksmanfan- Physically, Ian was in worse shape than Ed is so i figure it can't be the worst choice. I think that Erik was probably the worst character portrayal ever even though Ian did splendid! So i just think Ed doesn't "need" to be even more fit than he already is.

THEHAWK- True, Magneto should be regal but i think we all know that Ed is one of the greatest actors ever and i wouldn't say it's passed his skill to "exude regalness" even though we never saw him do it before. The way i see Magneto is as a great Orator like Hitler. A man that believes so deeply in what he thinks is right, will do ANYTHING to accomplish it (EXACTLY as he did in "The Rock") and will actually be able to sway you to follow him into the depts of hell! If General Francis X. Hummel wasn't Magneto, i don't know what is! But he'd just need to swich Hummel's "compassion" towards human lives to an apathy mixed with regalness. I firmly believe he's more than enough talented to accomplish it too.

WulfComicFan- Great point!!! IMO, Ian was the PERFECT Gandalf. And Ed has the talent and a chance to be the PERFECT Magneto. Depending on the age they're going with of course.

Tyler- couldn't agree with you more even if i tried!!!

Myth- Actually, since i see Ed as slightly younger than Ian, we'd be talking waaayyy future instalments. And i FULLY understand where you're coming from but that's not where FOX took them in their trilogy. Jean and Cycs are Charles's first students. Cerebro could also have been built after Charles got his first students. Which means it does give Erik the chance to be headmaster but not at 30. He'd easily be in his fifties. And Ed can still look like he's in his fifties. So like i've said, it will depend ONLY on what time they focus on for their "origin" of Lencher, so to speak. If they really go back to his concentration camp days, he'd be a teen. And i highly doubt that the focus will be on more than ONE era. So they'll need to pic which one and get the perfect actor for it. Ed is THE PERFECT age to be headmaster of Xavier's institute in their established film continuity which we all know fits in no way, shape or distant form to the comics's continuity :))

Oh and it's all good my firend, i appreciate your honesty ;) I personaly think it is my most resembling sketch i've ever done when compared to the photo i based it on. I put "the photo" as this article's teaser image on the fan fic page. But i get what you're saying, compared to my GerardKraven sketch, the actor's "personality" doesn't transpire as much. Had i not used a helmet, it would have alot more but then, his simple costume at the bottom of the page wouldn't have sufficed to link it to the character IMO. But to each's own ;)

Thanks Bag ;)

Shaman, exactly bro. It's a great drawing and I'm sure I couldn't do as good. just didn't transpire like some of my more favored of your artwork. Kraven and Elektra sketches are so awesome.

Great drawing man!!!! Ed Harris would be good, but I'd rather see Liam Neeson as Magneto. Still great picture!!!!!

Watchtower31- Unfortunitely, i am a man of my word so i will sketch it this week. In fact, it's on my list for tomorow if i feel up to it ;)

TheMyth- Yes i do admit i'll have alot of trouble topping my Kraven sketch. My Mitra sketch is good but i keep thinking i could have done a bit better. Still one of my best though ;)

ecksmanfan- Oh the "look"!!! LOL sorry, my bad. Missinterpreted your comment ;)

TheCritic17- Of course Neeson would be an excellent Mags and Dr Strange no doubt :)

Ron- By the beard of ZEUS!!! I do believe we have a winner!!!!! LOL :P

Now keep a look-out tonight for my latest sketch which i did today! Fun for sharpshooters of all ages ;)

awesome casting,even better sketch!
