What about Mystique?

[kiplingkat]

For someone who has his trust and control issues? I don't think so.

That's a recipe for Mystique getting dead awfully quick.

Well said.

I don't think there's room in Magneto's life for any real relationship (with a lover, with his children, even with his enemies.) He's far too paranoid, arrogant, and haunted to allow that sort of compromise or vulnerability.

Don't get me wrong: paranoid, arrogant, and haunted are why I'm a fangirl. I think he's fascinating.

He seems to be mellowing over time, but I think he needs a genuine friend or two before a lover.
