But it still is a problem that they keep trying to say things like Magneto is a WWII survivor, any way you cut it a 100 year old man just isn't a threatening enough villain. And the fundamental truth behind the character is that if you oppress people too harshly they will fight back in often evil and villianess ways.

There is plenty of history in the past 30-40 years to give the character that life experience without trying to ret-conn / rebuild a whole universe of story telling.
