Sadist Teacher
 Magneto: Testament (Comic Book) / int_2a6a8e89
comment
Sadist Teacher: The headmaster of Max's school is a firm antisemite. When Max wins a gold medal for javelin throwing at the school's track and field, he goes on to accuse Max of using a defective javelin that nullifies his win, saying he may only keep the medal if he reproduces his winning throw with a "regulation" javelin that is purposefully much heavier. When Max does manage to reproduce his throw, implied to be the result of his emerging mutant power, the headmaster calls him "cheating Jewish scum" and expels him.

Death Glare
 Magneto: Testament (Comic Book) / int_627264e0
comment
Death Glare: Max gives one to Jakob's old army friend turned government employee Jurgen Scharf whom he had saved in WWI after he says that he and Jakob are "even now" after keeping a Nazi beating of Jakob for "making trouble" in Scharf's office from ending in Jakob's death. Jakob and Max had only gone to see Scharf to see if he could help Jakob get his job back after losing it because of the Nuremberg Laws, with the "trouble" being Jakob waiting hours to meet with Scharf, and while Scharf's intervention kept the beating of his old friend from being fatal, Max no doubt would have rather he'd have prevented his father's beating altogether.

comment
Right for the Wrong Reasons: The headmaster of Max's school expells him for cheating after he reproduces his gold medal-winning javelin throw with a heavier "regulation" javelin after it's declared he made his winning throw with a "defective" javelin. While the headmaster clearly did it solely out of anti-semitism, it's implied Max's latent mutant powers are what allowed him to make the throw.

Bait-and-Switch: The miniseries starts with Magneto's father talking to somebody named "Erich". At that point it's easy to think he's talking to the future Magneto. He is in fact talking to his brother. Magneto is his son, Max.

Big Damn Heroes: Brutally subverted in the scene where the Max's family is caught. All the emotional beats of Max suddenly finding the power within him and shielding everyone from gunfire are set up in a neat little row... And then it doesn't happen and everyone but him is killed. Later partially played straight. Right as Max, Magda, and the other remaining prisoners are about to execute a revolt that might get them all shot, Allied planes start bombing the camp, giving them cover to run.
