Magneto has maximized his arc of atonement.
Still, the Krakoan era provided Marvel a "white-knight" version of Magneto, right down to his all-white outfit. During Magneto's stay on Krakoa, the Master of Magnetism was compelled to consider the mutant against human binary and deemed deficient. Magneto understood it is really the "haves against the have-nots" and he has thrown his lot with oppressed people all around. Though his new attitude signals a seismic change in his character development, how Magneto's new objective will play out in the X-Men's upcoming "From the Ashes" era remains to be seen.

Magneto Has Wandered Morally All Around
Magneto has been a regular fixture in the team's existence since his introduction in Uncanny X-Men #1 over 60 years ago—sometimes as a thorn in their side and other times as an ally. Along with Professor X and Moira McTaggert, Magneto was pivotal in founding the mutant country of Krakoa. Magneto died and turned away from the Resurrection Protocols. But Storm went to the next life and brought Magneto back to the planet of the living. Magneto has lots of time in the next world to consider his own existence.
Magneto's slide to the side of good did not happen over night and came with great losses.
X-Men Lore Changes Forever as Magneto Leaves His Mutant Against Human Ideals for Good
X-Men legend has revolved mostly on Magneto's mutant-versus-human ideas, but all of that has altered as the Master of Magnetism dropped them. Magneto's moral compass has changed since the 1980s; nowhere was this more clear-cut than during the Krakoan period. Now, in X-Men #35, Magneto has changed his objective significantly as Krakoa's age drops.
Al Ewing, Gerry Duggan, Kieron Gillen wrote X-Men #35; a revolving crew of artists including Phil Noto and Joshua Cassara drew it. Professor X is being transported to a safe custody facility. After Magneto grabs the automobile transporting Professor X, the two have a heart-to- heart conversation. Magneto claims he is done following national laws and international guidelines. In "embracing the world's power," Magneto says, I turned away from the earth. I won't once more.
A Change in Morality by Magneto
Magneto's slide to the side of good did not happen over night and came with great losses. Having Magneto go before the World Court to answer for his crimes, writer Chris Claremont started his rehabilitation process in the 1980s. After that, he started heading Xavier's school. Originally a good guy, Magneto's first run as such concluded in X-Men #1 in 1991, from when he reappeared as a villain. The villainy of Magneto persisted long into the 2000s. Magneto was exposed in Grant Morrison's New X-Men as using medications meant to boost power, which seemed to short cut any future atonement arcs.
The new mission of Magneto points to a major shift in the objectives of the mutant hero. Although readers might find Magneto's new position shocking, it's something that has been developing for years. His character arc revolves mostly on this shift in his mindset.
