Magneto was de-aged by Alpha the Ultimate Mutant circa Defenders 15 or 16. he's only physically in his mid 40s now. Gotta go back to the stacks Tommy B...

Yes, but that event is within the 13 year sliding timescale. The span that’s the problem is the distance between World War II and Magneto’s first appearance in X-MEN #1. If he was, let’s say, 16 in 1945 when the camps were liberated, that would make him at least 70 yeas old when he first fought the X-Men. Doesn’t really work.
