X-Men Movie Prequel: Magneto

In 2000, Marvel released a single-issue prequel to the first X-Men film, written by Joe Pruett and with moody, textured pencils by Mark Texeira. This comic served as a standalone bridge between the movie's continuity and the character's comic-book origins, focusing on Magneto's harrowing childhood experiences during World War II. Though a brief tie-in, it offered a more intimate, character-driven glimpse into the making of a mutant master of magnetism.
