As a Jew, I have these thoughts about Magneto:

1. The original will always exist.

2. Black Jews exist. Having Magneto be black *and* Jewish would be better than either alone.

3. Alternatively, I would be intrigued to see Magneto portrayed as a Black Muslim. Personally. But I'm only one.

How I would do Black Magneto is this: Jewish woman survives the Holocaust, flees Europe to America. Settles in New York. Marries a Black man. Magneto is her son or the son of one of her daughters. By Orthodox law, still Jewish. May well practice Judaism. Caught up to the present day but still *connected* to the Holocaust. And dealing with anti-Semitism, racism, and...omg are some Jews racist and some Black people anti-Semitic. You could really go into the nuances of all of that.

Alternatively he could be a convert or even an African Jew! (There is such a long-established Jewish community in Ethiopia that it probably demonstrates a grain of truth behind the story of the conversion of the Queen of Sheba).

But I like my version better.

I do think there are some characters that should not be race-swapped, though. To stay in the Marvel universe, don't race swap Steve Rogers.

You can race swap Captain America and I am so glad the MCU went with Falcon-Cap not Bucky-Cap.

But Steve Rogers being Aryan was part of the point of the character...a literal Aryan ubermensch punching Hitler was the point. (Also the A on his forehead? He's a golem. Gentiles think it stands for America. It stands for life).
