Magneto

History
Magneto (Unknown – Present) is the current elected ruler of Asteroid M. He was elected by a massive percentage of Asteroid M's population, and was the founder of the nation. Today, he is best known for founding Asteroid M, and working to create a safe haven for mutantkind.

After the massive worldwide attacks on mutants by the Sentinels, Magneto realized the need for a base that his resistance force could retreat to when neccessary. He solved the problem by creating Asteroid M. No one knows exactly how he managed such an incredible feat, but with an enormous amount of equipment and a judicious application of his power, he formed the an asteroid into a habitable base. After the war was over and mutants were no longer being targeted by the world's major governments, Magneto declared Asteroid M a sovereign nation, and granted citizenship to all who were born mutants.

Asteroid M, however did not recieve recognition from most of the world's governments at first. Many of them labeled the new nation as a rebel state, and watched it as best they could. It was the combined efforts of Magneto and the diplomat Anya Keraldo that eventually gained the nation recognition and official status.

Magneto took personal charge of the growing nation, and his leadership qualities became even more evident than they had been during the war. He defused many hostile situations, handled numerous problems with rival governments, and when the Democratic government was finally established, was elected as ruler by a landslide. Some of the citizens have criticized him for fighting the war in the first place, and are convinced that a more diplomatic solution could be found, while some of the more militant maintain that he should have continued the battle and never rested until all mutant-oppressing governments had been obliterated.

Magneto continues to lead Asteroid M, but takes the more prominent part in internal affairs and military operations. Anya Keraldo handles most of the foreign diplomatic work. However, Magneto will never refuse to do his duty for the small country. If he feels he needs to enter a diplomatic situation, he will do so.
