One of the classiest members in all ofX-Menis unarguably Erik Lehnsherr aka Magneto. Introduced as an antagonist who later dives into his redemption arc, he has one of the most iconic mutant powers that allow him to generate as well as manipulate magnetic fields at his will. That said, both Michael Fassbender and Sir Ian McKellan have done justice to him in live-action.
But while all those live-action projects have tried their best to display his powers as breathtakingly as possible, someone else seems to have outshone them in their own game. This comes after looking at all the cool moves Erik has to show off inFortnite, which are actually enough to put even Fassbender’s immaculate moves in his live-actionX-Menfilm series to shame.
Fortnite‘s Magneto is Showing Off Some Really Cool Moves
Recently,@Dexerto took to Xto bring to fans’ notice just how cool of a superhero Magneto is progressing into being inFortnite. Attached to this tweet was a clip of Erik soaring up in the sky before descending through a magnetic steps glider.

“I don’t even play this game but this cold af”: Fortnite’s Magneto has Launched with One of the Game’s Best Ever Gliders
This glider was, indeed, incredibly smooth, as it showed the character wearing this particular mutant’s skin descend on magnetic steps that automatically formed in front of him into a staircase with each step he took.
Adding to this was the aura the character sported, making him look even cooler than whatMichael Fassbenderlooked like in the film series. In fact, if anything, this very feature of the mutant in the game makes even Fassbender’s live-action moves to shame.
As fans must remember, inX-Men: Apocalypsefrom 2016, Fassbender’s Erik appears in the sky in the same manner during the final fight scene againstOscar Isaac‘s Apocalypse. Effortlessly enough, fans found this to be an incredibly captivating move, making Erik look on fleek.
However, thisFortnitefeature is putting up a clear competition to that one iconic scene from the movie. If anything, Erik flexing so immaculately when he can simply fly has even fans agreeing with the same while expressing how much they love this smooth.
Fans are Loving Magneto’s Incredibly Smooth Glider
Unsurprisingly enough,fans are totally in lovewith this smooth glider and just can’t get over the fact that it is so perfectly clean and allows the character to perform cool moves like this. Taking to the comment section of the X tweet, here’s what the top tweets are saying:

Fortnite’s Magneto Variants will Please Fans of Every Version of the Character
Well, for whatever it’s worth, this glider has most certainly set up a competition with the live-action version, so Marvel needs to look forward to incorporating elements like these in its nextX-Menprojects if it wishes totruly earn fans’ approvalof the same!
