Pretending to be an idle playboy, though making no effort to disguise his real identity since everyone calls him Magno, the superhero can fly and is invulnerable enough to survive a direct hit from an artillery shell. He also possesses extraordinary magnetic ability, powerful enough to divert a speeding car. He uses his powers primarly on behalf of the government.

Magno's companion is Davey, who has the same powers and costume as his mentor. If Magno is in danger and exerts a magnetic force toward Davey, the youth will be drawn to his mentor, and whatever is in between them will be destroyed.

Magno's arch-enemy and most recurring foe was The Clown.
