I was TV channel surfing hours ago and I saw this old cartoon I was barely able to identify but a prominent comic book character was shown so I watched it.

I saw none other than Magneto. I thought I'm going to watch an old school X-Men cartoon series so I thougth, "This would be cool." :D

There's one major problem I immediately saw. Why the heck is he riding on a Magnetomobile (or hover plane) with a huge @$$ "M" logo in front? Where the hell is his flight ability and the electromagnetic spherical shield?

(WTF number 1)

He brought that Magnetomobile to a gas station and demanded the gasoline boy to give him free gasoline because he's the master of magnetism yadda yadda and he started to destroy nearby metallic structures to scare the guy.

(WTF number 2. Where's the idealistic, gray persona that we know?)

He then proceeded to the Fantastic Four Headquarters.

(WTF number 3. I thought I was watching X-Men. What's the Fantastic 4 gotta do with mutants?)

He then challenged Reed for a duel and the winner becomes the new leader of the Fantastic 4? Magneto won. F4 hesitantly recognized him now as their new leader.

(WTF number 4. Leadership dispute is settled by a duel?)

Magneto then used the Fantastic 4 to execute a bank robbery the F4 hesitantly obeyed.

(WTF number 5. Magneto? Bank Robbery? and he still needs F4 to do it?)

All this time, Reed was planning a retaliatory strike at Magneto and what he did was create a non metallic gun, convince Magneto that it's metallic. Magneto tried his powers on the gun and when it didn't work, he believed that his powers were neutralized by the gun.

(WTF number 6).

The end of the story was, Magneto was captured by the police after believing that his powers no longer work.

(WTF number 7).
 
Yes - Marvel cartoons really were that cheesy back then, but look on the bright side at least it wasn't super friends
 
This was the funniest thing ever, what ep, I gotta watch it; bit pissed that you spoiled it though.
 
The X-Men cartoons are awesome. No dissing!
 
Wasnt there an actual toy of the magneto-mobile or whatever it was called? I vaguely remember seeing one when Toy Biz first began making X-Men toys back in the early 90's, but I'm not 100% sure about this.

I had it. It was pretty lame. It weakly flung little circular magnets. I was, like, 5 and it didn't impress me. And that's sad. :(
It's like the little Spider-Man motorcycles you see. He's Spider-Man. What the Christ does he need a motorcycle for? :confused:
 
cause guys with motorcycles get all the p**sy :o...that's why magneto had a car too, you try banging a check in a giant magentic bubble that you fly around in, she'll be alls like "do we have to do it in this clear thing? above a church? on sunday morning?" and I's be alls like "shut yo mouth b**ch! I'm magneto!"
 
dont forget, there was a spider-mobile in the comics years ago and peter cant drive so... :o
 
I think the whole episode is much more funny if you picture Ian McKellan as Magneto holding up a gas station. :D:up:

:D Nice.
 
i don't think it was an x-men one rather a ff one...

i think i remember this ep, it strikes a cord in the ol grey matter cells...
 
It's not really that bad. Remember, back in the '80s the whole world was cheesy. :o

The Master of Magnetism requires a gallon of super unleaded!
And perhaps one of those pine tree airfresheners...
 
lol

sorry,.. can't help but laugh at the vision of magneto holding up a gas station,....
 
I've seen this one, but "Pryde of the X-men" is way funnier. Wolverine's Austrailian and Magnetos plan for mutants to rule is to whip a meteor into Earth, killing everything and making it avalible for mutants... which begs the question "WTF IS HE THINKING???" If he hits the earth with a meteor than all life will be destroyed human AND mutant.

I have that on tape, and I have no idea where I got it. The first time I sw it, I was all "The hell's up with Wolvie's costume?" Which reminds me, I never heard of Kitty Pryde before I saw that.

Well, think about it. He had the Brotherhood up on that space station/asteroid, so he could wipe out humanity, and then they'd all get to nail the White Queen, saying it's to repopulate. Except for Juggernaut.
