Magneto name is MAX not Eric, Kabam pull "facts" from the movies?

Magneto name is Max Eisenhardt as most fans know, so why are they calling him Eric in the EQ ?
long ago before the reveal it was hinted Magneto name might be Magnus, but then they revealed it was Max so why is Kabam using facts from the x men movies instead of perhaps using marvel facts like the official handbook of the marvel universe?

Ok.

What's wrong with pulling things from the movies? His helmet stopping him from being mind-controlled was only introduced in the movies yet that being in the game is ok?

He is always Erik to me. I didn’t read the comics just watched the movies. Erik Lehnsherr is the Magneto. Idc if it’s something else in the comics.

SpideyFunko

does the name Erik Lehnsherr bother you that much

Greekhit

Before Magneto entered the movies, he was told by his agents to change his name to a more “catchy” one so he can do a descent career and be a star 🤣

Actually, he changed it to Erik. He was born named Max, but doesn't go by it in the comics.

SpideyFunko

Okay so fun fact, he changed his name to Erik after he killed a bunch of people (bc his daughter died) so he wouldn’t get arrested.

LOL.

How come in the 90s animated series (which took things directly from the comics) Xavier was able to mind control Magneto while his helmet is still on?

you realize these are different universes right? Just because his name isn't Erik in one of the comic universes doesn't mean his name can't be Erik here. To quote willowisp "his name is Erik in the game because his name is Erik in the game"

Erik is the alias he goes by. He is not called Max by anyone.

Sarvanga1_

He is called eric or magnus by prof x and the xmen because he was under this alias when he met them. He never told them his real name.

The universe of Marvel Contest of Champions is not based on any one source material. It is heavily inspired by many sources, including the Comics, Film, and Television. The Contest exists in its own Universe, and while something may be true in one universe, it may not be here.

PS. This Event Quest was written by a very accomplished and notable write of Marvel Comics

That’s simply not true, many times in the cartoon it comes up that professor X can’t control magneto when he has his helmet on. Isn’t it at the start of the series...? Albeit a few episodes there that introduced magneto and the x-men’s background stories a bit.

SpideyFunko

Al!

Wait, should I read it this months eq dialogue?

That’s a yes.

He goes by Erik in the comics too. Magnus is another alias he went by. X-men movies decided to stick with Erik for the movies. It's still the same person regardless of his name.

Voltolos

It is according to this handbook that you somehow ignored

Sarvanga1_

Yeah it is better written than most eqs.

According to marvel too magneto's name is Erik.
