Magneto is eventually restored to adulthood, but to his physical prime rather than his older, chronological age, by the alien Shi'ar agent Erik the Red.
Does Magneto have slow aging?
Multiple attempts have been made to regress Magneto's age. He was once reduced to an infant in an infamous story, and his mutant ability to control magnetic fields can slow down his aging process (exactly how that happens is anyone's guess).How is Magneto so old?
Michael Fassbender as Magneto (First Class / Dark Phoenix)In fact, think back to First Class and we find out he's 14 during the wartime flashback in 1944, meaning he's even older than his "old" buddy Xavier, making him 62 in the recent film.
