    No, Magneto is still canonically a victim of the Nazi regime. But he’s also canonically perpetually in his middle age/early old age. How? 🤷‍♂️ Don’t worry about it.

      He got turned into a baby and then shortly after reverted to being back in his prime. More recently he died and was brought back - so pretty much par-for-the-course.

      Mutants are the next stage in human evolution. Canonically they are stronger, faster, tougher, and heal faster than regular humans. It’s not unreasonable to think they age slower and live longer as well.

      In First Class, Sebastian Shaw says that he’s going to start a nuclear WW3 so that mutants can take over the remains of civilization, because mutants aren’t affected by radiation.

      I choose to believe that in the Fox X-Men universe, mutants also aren’t affected by solar radiation or cosmic rays that can damage skin or DNA, so their aging isn’t negligible, but it’s markedly slower than baseline humanity.
