UMVC3/Magneto

Magneto

Born with the mutant power to manipulate metal through magnetism, Magneto eventually found himself on the path leading towards the genocide of all non-mutants following his time in the Auschwitz concentration camp in World War II. A close personal friend of Professor X, Magneto has been thwarted time and time again through the efforts of the X-Men.

In a nutshell

Magneto is very good at using projectiles, speed and option selects to corner the opponent and take advantage with strong high/lows. He has one of the best grabs in the game with temporarily traps the opponent allowing time for a variety of follow up attacks. His ability to air dash and fly also give him the opportunity to increase damage during his solo combo and control space. Magneto is the quintessential corner combo character.
