== Jewish? ==

Both Magneto and the Scarlet Witch are indexed under "Jewish Superheroes".  Shouldn't Quicksilver be, as well?  [[Special:Contributions/38.111.35.2|38.111.35.2]] ([[User talk:38.111.35.2|talk]]) 16:55, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
:: ''Are'' they Jewish? I always had the impression that they were Roma. And after the Uncanny Avengers retcon, it's even more questionable.[[User:Nickpheas|Nickpheas]] ([[User talk:Nickpheas|talk]]) 12:13, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
::: Magneto is most definitely Jewish, yes. “ Writer Chris Claremont stated that Menachem Begin was an inspiration for Magneto's development, as David Ben-Gurion was for Professor X … Before the publication of X-Men: Magneto Testament, Magneto's personal background and history were invented[22] in Uncanny X-Men #150 (Aug. 1981). He was portrayed as a Jewish Holocaust survivor; while searching for his wife Magda, a Sinti, Magneto maintained a cover identity as a Sinti.[3] This created confusion among some readers as to Magneto's heritage,[23] until his Jewish background was confirmed in Magneto: Testament.[1][24]“ — from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto_(Marvel_Comics)#Publication_history
