Today we talk about a man who goes by many names, mostly Erik Lehnsherr and Magneto, who is a mutant with electromagnetic powers, a Holocaust survivor, and an antagonist to the X-Men. Is he a villain? Well, it's complicated. Hey! You might have noticed that last week we didn't release an episode to support #TheShowMustPause, and you might have also noticed that our Twitter page has been retweeting Anti-Racism resources.
