Magneto (birth name: Max Eisenhardt; alias: Erik Lehnsherr and Magnus) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The X-Men #1 (cover-dated September 1963) as an adversary of the X-Men.
The character is a powerful mutant, one of a fictional subspecies of humanity born with superhuman abilities, who has the ability to generate and control magnetic fields. Magneto regards mutants as evolutionarily superior to humans and rejects the possibility of peaceful human-mutant coexistence; he initially aimed to conquer the world to enable mutants, whom he refers to as Homo superior, to replace humans as the dominant species. Writers have since fleshed out his origins and motivations, revealing him to be a Holocaust survivor whose extreme methods and cynical philosophy derive from his determination to protect mutants from suffering a similar fate at the hands of a world that fears and persecutes them. He is a friend of Professor X, the leader of the X-Men, but their different philosophies cause a rift in their friendship at times. Magneto's role in comics has progressed from supervillain to antihero to superhero, having served as an occasional ally and member of the X-Men, even leading the New Mutants for a time as headmaster of the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.
Ian McKellen has portrayed Magneto in various films since X-Men in 2000, while Michael Fassbender has portrayed a younger version of the character in the prequel films since X-Men: First Class in 2011. Both actors portrayed their respective incarnations in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

At this point, I would prefer he be forced to live another 20-30 years. There's no way it's ENJOYABLE to be 100+, and I fear he'll find solace in death
I want him to maintain his mental faculties and live an extremely long life. I want that motherfucker to personally witness the collapse of the American empire he devoted his life to building.
Death note explicitly states that you can specify the time and manner of death
He's still going to national security meetings and making the world worse. You gotta write it multiple times because that motherfucker has phylacteries
i think if i had a death note i would kill every bad person at the same time. you would just have to fill pages and pages with "dies at 3 am on may 1st" but that's probably the best way to use one.
plus you could play it off as actual divine judgement and then use the death note to say god wants you to be a communist
