Dolash posted:The big comic books have that roving continuity thing, don't they? Like, that's how Batman's always 35 or something? Maybe back when Wolverine was introduced decades ago, he was supposed to have been alive in time for the civil war, but now they've moved that up to more turn-of-the-century. In another couple decades, Wolverine will have cut his teeth on the Great War.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Honestly, though - the -what the gently caress- about Magneto is for as near-permanently as he wears that helmet, he should be balder than Chuck. Maybe he hovers it a centimeter off of his head or something. Or maybe his hair is made out of loose metal shavings, like Wooly Willy.

Maybe Magneto has hair so that when a non-costumed old guy starts moving poo poo around with his mind, we know it's not Patrick Stewart.

It's just occurred to me that I've never seen Shocker without his cowl on. Weird. Also, thank you everyone who has posted Superior Foes in this thread. I'm going to start back-ordering it from my local shop when I go in tomorrow. Appreciate it.

Bah I flipped through some issues to find a humorous current Magneto panel and didn't see any, but you guys are forgetting that Magneto's rocking the cueball look these days.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Not to mention all they have to do is ~science~ up some loving reason that because he's the Master of Magnetism and iron is so important to human/mutant/earthling physiology, that he's able to keep the iron in his body super-purified to the point where his blood is the perfect antioxidant. Hence, slow aging...and the only reason he looks older is because he's quite literally the Angry Old Man of the Marvel universe and he's always stretching his entire face to SCREAM OUT HIS BELIEFS! Magneto is bald right now.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Compression of the head, lack of sunlight or yes, oxygen, the sweating that undoubtedly comes from wearing a helmet all the loving time... The thing is, I doubt Magneto wears the helmet that much when he's not in a fight. Like he might only wear it for a few hours in a day. Just like how I imagine that Captain America or Thor don't wear their helmets all the time.

But I'm willing to believe the guy takes it off. Like I've never seen Cyclops change his underpants, but I'm fairly sure that guy does it regular as clockwork. Plus in Secret Wars he went around without the helmet on for a fair bit so we could all see that he looked like Quicksilver....And for the sequence where he and Wasp bumped not so uglies*. * = Note that Magneto more than likely explained away to Janet that his powers allowed him to create impenetrable, magnetic fields.

For years, Magneto's nemesis was a telepath with a machine that let him read the mind of anyone on the planet. I wouldn't be surprised if he frequently slept with that helmet on. I mean, his secret bases were probably shielded against telepathy, but he spent a lot of time traveling and I doubt the Motel 8 in Albuquerque has similar accommodations.

Random panel popped into my head. After Spider-Man takes Franklin out specifically for a hot dog.  Fantastic Four 588, I believe.

True, but up until the first X-Men film came out, Magneto's helmet didn't actually block telepathy. I know it does now, but prior to the films and Grant Morrisons New X-Men run, Magneto had about a dozen different reasons why he didn't get mind wiped which didn't revolve around him wearing his helmet.

Like in the Dark Phoenix Saga when they were on the moon and Wolverine was able to throw Colossus due to the weaker gravity:  The apple doesn't  I like this one. The art reminds me of Dark Knight Returns in how chunky everyone is.  The most variant.
