Troy "Tyroc" Stewart also became Vice President of Earth (under former Invisible Kid Jacques Foccart) after the Dominator military takeover was defeated. Not long after that, the Earth blew up, Jacques resigned, and Tyroc became the President of New Earth1. And then Zero Hour wiped that away. Comics! 1: not that that makes his original characterization any better.

Well, to be fair, that comic was drawn in the age where Mjolnir had just been forged and made all magical by dwarven blacksmiths and not made from the material of a neutron star.

MikeJF posted:Did it not still have the same enchantment on it? Evidently I'm wrong - the hammer isn't made out of neutron star material, it was *forged* in the heart of a dying star. Evidently the hammer itself would weigh something around 43 pounds, and the enchantments are what makes it heavy. A guy at the Army's Research Office thinks the "Uru" that it's made out of is the 'holy grail of high-pressure physics,' some form of metallic hydrogen.

In the immediate next panel, Magneto crushes him in giant 'magnetically powered' metal slabs... by pushing a button to activate them. Magneto: can control anything with his magnetism powers... except steel.

Seems like the right writer could claim that Magneto's power is complete molecular manipulation and he just has a mental block that means he thinks he can only control ferrous metals. Didn't they do something retcon asspulls for Cyclop's lack of control and Gambit's power? And maybe Iceman?
