He does have some in-character written tropes...at the beginning.
C'mon guys. Give Magneto the same treatment as them lot. What, are mutants not good enough for you yet clowns, corrupt businessmen and men in tin cans are?
EDIT: I've gone and made the edits. Now Magnus can fit in with Victor and whatshisface

Ugh, these character pages are horrible. Wikipedia is better at giving short information on why we should care about these cartoon characters, rather than this roleplay fanwankery.
Yeah, it really only worked for the Joker, and even then because he's insane and the Medium Awareness works with that. Making every villain an in-character page is just taking it too far because it's just turned into "come on guys, I wanna roleplay my favorite villain now!"
I suppose I'll also throw my two cents in. This in character stuff is not very good. It makes it a pain to read compared to the usual pages.
I don't know. Personally I like this page. I think Mighty Kombat did a good job of capturing the character's voice.
I think the page is fine, not great but not bad enough to justify changing it.

Oh hey, thanks, Bucco.
Yeah I was confused as to why only the description was in character and the examples weren't in comparison to Joker's page.

Should we mention the incident with Reed Richard's wooden gun? If you wanna do it in character, how would he talk about it?
What context?
"That time the MUTATE scientist Reed Richards flummoxed me with a wooden gun. A slight neurosis against wood at the time was why I was felled that day."

Mighty Kombat? I'm the guy who wrote it! I'm the guy who made the damn page!
Damn humans.
EDIT- A lot of the inital examples were copy-pasted from Magneto's X-Men page, and after writing several paragraphs on the description I wasn't really in the mood to edit the examples at the time. Plus, I was trying to find a compromise on the whole "in-character" or not thing by making the examples neutral. But it does work better.
Some pages should be neutral, others work with the characters voice, and I like to think this one does whether or not you all think I did a good job capturing Magneto's voice (I think I made him a little too arrogant and pompous, but thats what came out). i also wrote the Red Skull and Brainiac pages, which are neutral, and the Loki page, which is the character (though Loki is aware that he is a comic book character). If Lex, Joker and Doom have in-character pieces, so should Magneto I feel, since those are the top four comic book villains. And he has such a wonderful voice.

Sorry about that.
But I fixed the examples to be first person and consistent with the rest of the article. Back in the day it was weird to have some first person parts including the main text and then suddenly segue into third person stuff so I fixed it.

Didn't mean to cheat you out of credit, masamune! FWIW, I was glad to see that such an important comic-book villian had his own page, and I think it's a well-done one. And Mags HAS been known to do "arrogant and pompous" from time to time, so I don't think that's necessarily out of character for him.
I was thinking that maybe we should have Magneto talk in character about the various tropes applied to him, like what they did with Lex Luthor, Doctor Doom or The Joker. We do have Magneto talk in character in the character description, but not with the trope examples.
