Angry eyes. Yes, his eyes glow sometimes. Pinkish red when he's using his powers, blue-white when he's angry. He wears his emotions openly, for all he tries not to.
Angry Infrared. It's not really in infrared, but he's REALLY ANGRY right now. BACK OFF. Or you get the die nao one. ;)
BABY Mags He wasn’t always a terrorist. At one point, he was just a lost, terribly injured young man. This person still exists, even if he’s deeply buried.
Black suit One of his more boring suits. But he does dress to impress.
Brood. He's not happy. At all. But this is more grief than anger.
Can’t do this alone Context for the weak? ;) Charles is off in space, Mags is running the school. And failing. He knows he can’t do this alone, and is failing Charles. But he doesn’t know what to do.
Can’t see eye to eye Given…everything, perhaps bad keywords. There is that edge of spite – of course Charles can’t see eye to eye with Mags. But there IS a raw, rough, painful edge to their relationship.
Cant’ sleep Even in the arms of his lover, he’s not able to sleep. Peace isn’t something he often knows. And it isn’t something he trusts to last.
Coffee. Mags likes his coffee, 'k?
Concern. He's worried about something - probably someone.
Cooking. Mags, per canon is a damn good cook. Nothing fancy, just homestyle food - but he's GOOD at it. And he actually enjoys it. Typical Jewish grandparent there - I feed you to show you I love you.
Death He’s just ‘killed’ Kitty Pryde and is weeping over her. He doesn’t take death well.
Default/Magneto: Unifrom is from Excalibur, and it far better than the standard red and purple in my opinion. I see this as Magneto giving up on ruling - purple, he stated, was the color of royalty, and instead seeing himself as a fighter, a warrior, alongside his people.
Dressy! Yes, it's from House of M. Yes, it's that famous one where it's just the King of Spain with Mag's head pasted on. It's PRETTY. Deal. Mags cleans up nice.
Drinking We once got A Very Special™ edition with Mags. Danielle Moonstar forces him confront his drinking problem. Mags still drinks – and still struggles with that problem when he’s in a bad head space – but he’s always managed to keep control of it sense then.
Fallen He’s just been gutted by Wolverine. He’s fallen, broken physical, and near death. But still not beaten.
Fighting back Fighting, even after being beaten half to death.
Flying! Most (all?) of the icons of Mags using his powers are form the 90’s toon. Images that are LJ iconable of them are hard to find.
For us He’s badly injured himself fighting for others. Luckily Kurt was there to help him.
Forcefield BUBBLE OF SAFETY. BUBBLE OF SAFETY
Friends. Mags and Xavier were close once. They worked together, lived together, and Xavier even offered his last name to Mags as an alias. No matter what happens - they will always love each other. They may be enemies, but they are also always friends.
Grief Neigh fifty years later – grief over the loss of his wife is still painful.
Haunted He’s a haunted man. Always will be, until the day he dies. It’s not what he deserves, but he believes it to be so.
Hope He can hope for things to be better, he just doesn’t believe they will be.
Horror This is his horror face. This is bad to see. Little makes him do this.
I accuse YOU He's pointing his finger and yelling. Yelling happens often. This? Not so much. You cocked something up in his mind.
In a suit Hey, Billy picked the outfit, k? Still, he wasn’t complaining.
In the rain. He's discussing his past, which isn't pretty. But it's a good body shot of him too - shows his build.
Intense/focused. I like the intense look on his face. It's quietly arrogent, and he's very focused on what he is looking at.
Looking back. He's looking over his shoulder, literally and/or figuratively.
Man of Mystery Charles called him that. And he is – no one will ever see all there is to him.
Medbay w/coffee I think he might have an addiction. No really. He was just in a COMA people. Beore he even gets DRESSED, there’s coffee
Migraine. It's canon Mags gets them. Right now he's trying to slink off to the dark to ride it out. Plz to be letting him.
Mourning One of his students has just been killed. ‘But they are only children. How can they possibly understand ANY of this?’ – Better than he’d like to admit. The problem is, he doesn’t understand it either.
Not broken Asleep, twisted in sheets, having a nightmare.
Not young anymore Despite the deaging/reaging – he’s not as young as he looks. He KNOWS this. He just likes to forget. It costs him. A lot.
Oh My HEAD. He's got a headache. It hurts. A lot.
Peers They used to work together. They know each other’s thought patterns well. They move in step when they need to.
Pissed off. Right after Isabelle was murdered. He's angry. Best to be backing off now, k?
Powers 01 Using his powers.
Powers 02 More of a light show but still!
Reading He’s reading. To Wanda. Lord of the Rings. Magpie is frighteningly domestic sometimes.
REALLY PISSED OFF. Same issue as ‘Pissed off’. You die nao. KTHXBAI
Shock. Congrats! You've shocked Magneto. This is actually hard to do.
Skeptical. You see this face? Yeah, he doesn't believe you. More Excal, a variation of the black unform.
Smile! Mags rarely smiles in comics, but hey - he's NOT King Emo of the Emo people all the time 'k? (That's Pietro.)
Smirk! I forget which this is from, but that smirk is one that never fails to amuse me.
So SRS He looks like THAT more often than note.
Sorrow. He's upset about something.
Struggling He really is the type to CRAWL when he can’t walk, rather than accept help. Sweater Magneto's first appearence in Excal and a good body shot of him in cilivian clothing. Yes, he wears red a LOT. Red, he's stated, for the blood of his people. For a man who as survived two genocides now...that means a lot.
Tattoo. Fairly simple - his tattoo. That's not the orginal text, but it works.
Transcendent Glory Blame Xavier, he’s the one who used that term. Don’t expect Mags to remember the previous few minutes of what happened, or be the most rational person. Actually, expect a bit of mania til he calms down.
Trench Just in a coat.
Ugh. He's feeling the strain of using his powers. I use this one when he's pushing himself physically, mentally, or emotionally too far.
Upset. Yes, he's in the rain. Yes, that's Charles behind him. He's having a flashback. It's not pretty.
Wanted to help He has a head injury. He’s still injured. But unable NOT to help.
Washing up This is really just a shot of him shirtless. Seriously, no other reason for it
What kept you?. I LIKE EXCAL OK? Mags is saying in the panel, "What kept you?" He was racing Charles to their meet up, and won.
What? In reality, he'd be saying "What?" or "Please?" - Germans say 'Bitte' - please - instead of 'Pardon me/I didn't understand you'. Mags has kept this trait in English.
Star The only kind of Star of David I can ever see him with. He doesn’t always have it. But I like how small it is, and how the blue stone is either being held captive or being supported by the silver. Depends on how you look at it.

Credit to: Zenni Keywords: Cry on my shoulder They seem to only trust each other to bare their souls to. It makes those sharp edges all the more painful, although make the trust all the more heart wrenching. A friend called them “The OTP of sporks through the heart.”
Credit to: Zenni Keywords: Trigger This? This is just before Mags beat Pietro to death post HoM – don’t worry, he gets better due to Wanda’s intervention. But he’s beyond livid. Beyond ANYTHING but blind rage. Pietro has tripped over the worst trigger Mags has – being controlled.
Credit to: TheCutePolice Keywords: You’re Not Alone In advance, I don’t mean for these to be as slashy as they are. But the boys make it so EASY. While Erik is comforting Charles – it’s important to note they both struggle with loniless.
Credit to: TheCutePolice Keywords: Oh Really? Mags with his coffee cup AGAIN. And they are scheming. And snarking. Healthy, happy Mags/Chuck or Mags&Chuck at their best!
Credit to: don’t remember Keywords: storm Mags can throw lightning. See, there? BOOM
Credit to: Prezzay Keywords: Friends and Enemies They are too physically close to think they aren’t helping each other. But they are also injured, battered, and bloody. Their relationship will always have it’s moments of this.
Credit to: Prezzay Keywords: Commander/Messiah The text just says it all folks.
Credit to: Prezzay Keywords: Ever-calculating Mind And, the text just says it all
Credit to: Galvanize_icons Keywords: Crying Neither of them know how to say good-bye. Or to let go. Even when they know they have to.
Credit to: Galvanize_icons Keywords: Old Friends I loved this image in Excal. I love that it’s an icon.
Credit to: don’t remember Keywords: Lightning More lightning. He likes lightning, ok?
Credit to: komaromy Keywords: Magneto was right Well, he was.
Credit to: komaromy Keywords: Magneto I imagine this hanging somewhere in Genosha. Even today. Even after all that’s happened.
Credit to: komaromy Keywords: I am He once said, “I am Power.” – throwing away a human identity with a name. He’s reclaimed his humanity, but he’s still Magneto. All other names…matter less. They aren’t him, not really. Not even the one he was born with.
Credit to: inevitable_doom Keywords: Righteous rage I actually don’t know what the text says but I love his face.
Credit to: Iconfluence Keywords: Stubbon I knew what this said once but I forget now. It’s a recolor of ‘Can’t see eye to eye’ though and I love it.
Credit to: Iconfluence Keywords: Suit He looks so polished, but yet so weary here
Credit to: Raven Keywords: Bad Patient Yes, he’s pulling EKG leads off. He’s a bad patient. Very bad
Credit to: Raven Keywords: Leaving. NAO He’s leaving. You can’t stop him. Don’t bother trying.
Credit to: Galvanize_icons Keywords: Handwriting I like this because it shows Mag’s handwriting. But also…there’s no other way to read that than as a break up letter.
Credit to: all_of_icons Keywords: Sins Mags knows his children – all his children – are paying for his crimes. He hates it. He wants to fix it. He just doesn’t know HOW.
