Fucking Comics: The Teen Titans VS The X-Men Part 7: Enter Magneto: He's Moist and Yields No Resistance (Even With his MAGNETIC Personality)... Fuck somebody just shoot me now....

In the next part of this tale, we meet Magneto, the evil mutant in question. Magneto, as his name suggests, is the mutant master of magnetism. And if you all aren't aware of it yet, Magneto was the X-Men's first and longest running foes. That's a little more than what can be said about the Teen Titan's first villain, Mr. Twister.

Now before Chris Clairmont made him a mutant terrorist and kind of an anti-hero of sorts, Magneto was one rotten bastard. Stan Lee wrote him to be an evil evil guy. Magneto made Dr. Doom seem like a pussy cat. The thing that made Magneto such a bad ass, other than his powers of course, was that he sought to bring down humanity and rule over everyone and he would try to do anything to accomplish that. Protect his mutant brothers from discrimination? Fuck that! Back then, Magneto often uses lackeys whom he steps all over before, during, and after an evil scheme. I mean, Magneto was so bad that the Stranger came from outer space and had to lock him up on his planet. That's how bad Magneto was back in the day.

In this first adventure, Magneto is running solo and is planning on taking over Cape Citadel, a US military facility that is loaded to the gills with nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons he plans to use to take over the world.

Now that's a villain, a guy who wants to take over the world with nuclear weapons. Not a guy who kidnaps children so he can refeather his cape.

Magneto uses his magnetic powers to make a test missile turn off it's course and crash, leaving the soldiers at the base with no idea of what went wrong.

The next day Magneto uses his powers to make the army's weapons and vehicles go haywire before using his powers to write a message in the sky (out of dust) demanding that the military turn the base over to him. And to prove that he means it, he uses his powers to launch one of the test missiles.

The soldiers, typical of Uncle Sam's boys, decide that they aren't going to back down and increase the guard on base. Of course, when Magneto shows up by himself (that takes balls by the way) he makes short work of all the soldiers with his magnetic abilities and soon takes over the whole base.

Back at the X-Men's mansion, the boys are peeping on Marvel Girl as she tries on her new uniform (because nothing says hot like a woman in a black and yellow costume) before they are all summoned to Professor X's office, where the professor informs them that they are about to go on their first mission to Cape Citadel to stop Magneto.

We are then treated with the X-Men preparing for their mission. We get to see such exciting, pulse pounding action as: Iceman putting on his little boots and Angel taking off his chest harness that keeps his wings concealed. Yippie. The X-Men then take the professors specially built Rolls Royce (Because nothing says inconspicuous like a Royce being driven by five teenagers in black and yellow costumes)

For someone who wants to keep things secret, I think it's kind of funny that the professor would send his X-Men out in a car that is probably licensed and registered under his name.

The X-Men also take off in a special plane that is apparently powered by the professors own "thought impulses" whatever those are.

And if you think that's kind of on the goofy side, wait until you see what happens next!

Could you imagine how Jack Kirby probably felt when he had to read the page breakdowns and seeing Stan's writing explaining to him "Draw the snow guy sitting on his ass and putting on little black booties"

I mean, what the fuck are those boots for? So he doesn't get his feet wet if it rains? THE GUY IS MADE OUT OF FUCKING SNOW!
