So Magneto is 40s in 92 and 60s in the 2000s?

Seems like a big continuity issue.

Yes. Yes it is.

In the comic books Magneto actually is really old. He was in the 40s but then he got younger. Also in the comics, they use a sliding timeline so Magneto could be in the 40s back in '92 and then the 60s later.

Must be a mutant thing.

Considering in First Class he looked about ten in the German concentration camps, my math says he's much, much older.

Exactly didnt make sense at all, considering in only 8 years from this one in '92 to 2000 when the first x-men was with Ian McKellen and magneto is what youd call old and the proper age seeing as he was a kid in WW2 its stupid not to have aged him or at least dyed his hair grey.
