The thing about Magneto which would give me hope for him, had he crossripped to the UF universe, is that his big problem with the world he lives in is an almost total non-issue there, and he's smart enough to realize it. In a fully integrated galactic civilization in which humanity often has its genes twiddled at the mall for decorative purposes, being "born different" isn't even really notable, except for the Earth Alliance's psionic population - and that's a political problem that's been made into a cultural one by propaganda, not a truly cultural issue like the mutant question in the Marvel Universe is.

Anyway, he'd find himself in a world where the likes of Kurt Wagner are viewed as "nifty" rather than "deformed", and I suspect he'd sit down, think it over, and decide to do something different with his abilities.

Hmm... almost makes me wish I'd brought him along. But, of course, that would have been logistically difficult...
