Magnum (comics)

Magnum can refer to multiple characters and elements within comics, most commonly associated with the Marvel Comics universe:

• Wonder Man (Simon Williams): Wonder Man, whose real name is Simon Williams, has occasionally used the codename Magnum. He is a superhero with ionic energy powers, granting him superhuman strength, durability, and flight. This association is infrequent but noteworthy.

• The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants: In some storylines, a powerful mutant with strength-based abilities has used the name Magnum as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. These incarnations are usually depicted as villains or antagonists to the X-Men. The specifics regarding the powers and background of these characters using the name varies across different comic book runs.

Because the name is relatively generic, Magnum may occasionally appear as a throwaway character or within background art, although these are of minimal significance. The association with Wonder Man remains the most notable connection to the name within the broader Marvel comic book landscape.
