 * Magneto appears in X-Men: Evolution, voiced by Christopher Judge. This version is based in Asteroid M and utilizes a genetic enhancer machine to augment his powers. Throughout the first season, he initially operates from the shadows, tasking Mystique with forming the Brotherhood of Bayville to fight the X-Men and his son Quicksilver with spying on the former before bringing select mutants to Asteroid M so he can use his genetic enhancer to help them reach their full potential. However, he betrays Mystique, who contributes to the X-Men foiling his plans and destroying Asteroid M. In the second season, Magneto maintains his rivalry with Mystique while forming the Acolytes, de-aging himself using the technology behind Captain America due to his genetic enhancer failing to work, and publicly exposing mutants' existence to the world. Additionally, he is hunted by his estranged daughter Scarlet Witch, who seeks revenge on Magneto for abandoning her. In the third and fourth seasons, Magneto tries to avert Apocalypse's awakening, but ultimately fails and is transformed into one of the latter's Horsemen until he is freed by the X-Men.

After Kelly sends Gambit to steal his helmet, Magneto attempts to retaliate but Professor X warns him and Kelly of a post-apocalyptic Sentinel-controlled future that will result from their hostilities.

However, he is foiled by the Phoenix Force and exiled from Genosha by the Scarlet Witch.
