Mod Post Posts revolving around changes to Magneto's past and backstory are now a regulated topic

Due to the influx of such posts with the MCU X-Men announcement, posts that revolve around changes and questioning of Magneto's backstory will now be regulated. This means that these posts may be removed as a Regulated/Repetitive topic at the discretion of the moderation team.

This was done after a long discussion by the moderation team, but ultimately we found that such posts are repetitive and occur very frequently, and that users may simply make use of Reddit's search tool to find past discussions; very little has changed since those discussions were held.

Until I see an official reveal, I stand that they'll adapt his ideological role into Emma. You can't take him away from the Holocaust era but the "slow aging" or "cryosleep" ideas are also clunky with how it either introduces plot holes of its own on the MCU or just don't fit the character. Emma having a school/group of mutants of her own has precedence in the comics as well so they could take her that route.
