Magneto being a victim / survivor of Anti-Semitism , has made him have
a severe black-and-white justice complex.
a severe inferiority complex.
a do-or-die / either friend-or-foe complex.
a guilt for being powerless to save himself or his parents.

It made Prof.X seem somewhat naive or Magneto too brash/risky.
The balance of things either Prof.X or Magneto depending on the scenario plays out. Neither of the results or methods are satisfactory or acceptable but it is a quandary.
No one can predict at the moment of action/in-action where is the correct path.
That is what it means to live your life. Regrets or no-regrets no one can say but you.
Your lived-experience IS NOT a solution for the entire planet or universe. DO NOT apply your solution on others.

Magneto has always had a superority complex the size of a continent, and it leaks, making him see not only himself but all mutants as superior… to the point that in Marvel continuity he seems to have been the one to coin the term “homo superior” to refer to mutants as opposed to homo sapiens, or at least he was the first one to use it in the books, in the very first X-Men issue, in the second panel in which he ever appeared (in the real world the term was coined by Olaf Stapledon).
