Exploiting Magneto’s GREATEST Weakness 

Magneto: Oh really? And does he have, say... any iron deposits in him?

Now I have this image of Killer Croc using Ben to hit everyone if the two were owned by the same company. Thanks _Batman: The Animated Series_ .

Ben: Uh, yeah, can we talk about that name for a bit? You're called Mr. Fantastic. Sue is called Invisible Woman. And Johnny is the Human Torch. And I'm just the Thing. Like, I'm not even a person to you guys. I'm just... the Thing... Hell, even the robot has a name! Reed: Well what would you like to be called? Ben: The... Rock...? Rocky? Reed: Ben, are you familiar with copyright infringement? Johnny: This is why you don't get to pick your name.

@@HoV326 Ben picked the name The Thing in canon iirc.

@@HoV326 tbf, Rocky started getting filmed in 1975, The Rock born in 1972, The Rock's father (Rocky Johnson) began his career as a professional wrestler in 1964. But the first Fantastic Four comic came out in 1961. The Thing had like 3 years to change his name to Rocky or something with Rock in it.

Sorry but that would have been an easy joke to make.

@@diannejohn5346 As if this video isn't already using an easy joke. Check the original wooden gun clip and see how many comments talked about the ridiculous nature of the scene.

Like, a crossbow.

@@dmgroberts5471 No... a gun made out of wood.... like a real gun.... but out of wood. You see, Reed's a scientist...

@@manintheline5331 That sounds a lot like a huge Gordian Knot, whereas just pulling a crossbow on Magneto sounds pretty effective. I get the "joke," I just think it's funnier to suggest the incredibly obvious thing that no one has thought of in the 70-odd years that Magneto has been a character.

This his greatest weakness that ANYONE can pull out

@@Gloomdrake well that's true but imagine invading your opponent's mind to make them relive a genocide and still being seen as the "good guy"

He recovered from that one pretty quick.

@@pepsiisbetterthancoke6283 That's his secret. After the Holocaust ray he rewrites their memories to make them like him. "You know, weirdly enough, even though you just hit me with the holocaust, like not even metaphorically, you just hit me with the holocaust... I still like you, you're a... you're a terrible person but, I--" "Think again!" "... Huh.. What was I saying? Oh right, you're a good guy, Professor... ... Hey, what's my name again? And where am I?" "Whoops."

I'm sorry what in the actual fuck to end all fuckz

*Galactus:* Wait, how did you even convince the rest of the Marvel™ superheroes to build a 1:1 wooden replica of the entire Earth? *Richard:* I didn't *Galactus:* ...no *Richard:* No what? *Galactus:* You did not build an entire planet out of wpod by yourself *Richard:* But I did *Galaxtus:* You only knew I was here four hours ago! *Richard:* That's why I did it in three! *Galactus:* That's even less believable! What, are you mow going to tell me you had "prep time"? *Richard:* Nope! (Somewhere, Batman sneezes)

​​​@@davidhong1934"but considering the totality of the Earth's mass, pole to pole and core to crust, the amount of trees growing on its surface constitutes an astronomically small fraction of a single percent of its total composition! How could you have possibly acquired enough timber to create a second Earth entirely out of wood?" "I just did some crazy Reed Richards shit, simple as that."

@@POTUSJimmyCarter "I didn't. He did." >The Maker comes out from the shadows. Idk why but I love that idea

@@POTUSJimmyCarter”Actually though. Thanks for the free snack, Now I don’t have to worry about eating innocent lives as I’m forced to continue my existence!” “A- About that…”

@@Aaa-vp6ug”I also created every living person on earth out of wood” “What..” “Ya know they’re fully sentient they have their own hopes dreams desires fears and they are terrified of death. They have no souls you see it’s just a black void the endlessness of non existence.”

Woodeto turned good after Johnny Storm threatened him with a fight. If Stoneto was there, then we'll have serious trouble.

@@justinn8541akaDrPokemonThen again, Arsoneto would have an easy time as well.

My least favorite is poopneto. He can control any sorta organic material he wanted, he could be bloodneto or fleshneto but- he just sticks to poop. Its gross.

@@remiliyu If I give eeveto a water stone, will he turn into watereto?

@@miniman649 Did you know that in terms of Male human and Male Neto Breeding...

I was half-heartedly expecting this to happen

"This is Reed Richards, smartest man alive" "It's over Magneto, Black Bolt could kill you with one whisper from his mouth" "What mouth?"

I was expecting the wooden gun to shoot lasers or cancer tbh

Yep, I figured he would just shoot his shoulder at some point.

@@AlbertScoot Cancer rays are Zarbar's thing, Reed isn't going to steal another guy's powers just to defeat Magneto.

A wooden car?😢

​@@lainhikaru5657Yeah, like in The Flintstones.

a wooden car!

@@lainhikaru5657 No no, a plastic car. The cops all drive Saturns.

​@@mewmew8932imaginary if they were mercury instead

You need a lot more likes

What wood? *Turns into real Black Bolt and atomizes her*

if Wanda floats, she is made of wood, which means...? she's a Witch! Therefore, she also would work against Magneto! heheheh (sorry about the puns)

The fact that Wanda is Megneto's kid makes this whole bit funner then it should be

​@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785That's a fair cop.

He heard one at 1:50

Agreed, because grammatically it means he heard at least one bell.

He heard it now :P

More than that. He traumatized the poor man so bad that when he explained it was wood Magneto didn't even try to escape

Its called a bow and arrow and you think Mr.Fantastic would be able to do that with his arms

It happened in the very show these pictures were taken from

Yes, the stills are from that scene.

He gave Magneto a straight-up existential crisis because he made him think his powers were gone.

And if a Logan lookalike says he will give me wood, I would fight against with all my forces.

He would do alot better with his old Bone claws

"No bones"

Boner

He also does not have holocaust beams

A crossbow. That's just a crossbow. Or just use a non-magnetic metal, like aluminium, or high grade stainless steel or something. There are options.

@@Otek_Nr.3@Otek_Nr.3 True, all would be effective options to use, not to mention fully wooden canons would be another weapon to use against Magneto without relying on metal. Considering how powerful Magneto is and how he has had years to master his powers to sometimes even manipulate metal without a magnetic pole, I can imagine he'd still find a way to control stainless steel or aluminium.

So what you're saying is, they should have just brought in Hawkeye for the job?

@@Otek_Nr.3 aluminum is magnetic

​@@Otek_Nr.31. Aluminum is magnetic 2. Magnetos powers work on all metal, not just magnetized metal. He's ferrokinetic and can imbue metals with magnetic properties.

Richard:"now you do"

Poetic

Yeah, courtesy of Home Depot

No, then Magneto hears the Taco Bell..

He is an engineering guy. They tend to enjoy woodwork in my experience

@@bdeamon1 I’m talking about woodworking not being gay (/s)

Reed's the smartest man in the universe; however his intelligence is canonically "spread thin." He says that Tony Stark makes these incredible weapons because Reed is simply busy on *multiple* other projects at once. So I have *no doubt* that Reed's into woodworking.

@@XXMatt0040XX Smart my Ass , Reed You can't bother to check whether Hulk reached right planet Cure Aunt May or even Cure Ben Grimm

Jim Duggan likes this.

Lowe's

That would be next level. Then the paint drips off the real gun and you see it's made of metal...

In the comics, Reed is one of the only people in existence who can actually use the most powerful weapon; it not only erases you entirely, it makes reality bend such that you never even existed. Reed aimed it at a literal *world eater.*

@@XXMatt0040XX Honestly that seems like the best thing to point it at. Anybody else and it would be overkill

I wonder if the gun shot saw dust what would happen would magnetos powers be defeated by being covered in sawdust?

Would have been hilarious if it was the poorly made stick one. He just put a real gun inside a poorly carved piece of wood to really confuse Magneto

No one managed to survive and tell the tale of his legendary Batbat. No killing? Solemn oath against lethal force? Nah, man. Batman is a shadowy figure for a reason.

Magneto: "So is that a wooden bat or a metal one." Batman: "uhhh..."

Bro Batman would be an absolute nightmare for a one trick pony like Magneto

And engage him in some sort of Bat Fight? It's a game of honor and diplomacy, I hear.

​@@LaMarcheFutilé101 I guess you could say you would engage in comBAT I'm here all night

And declaring mutants as Earth's new gods because they all banded together to form a nation, gained a method to resurrect themselves, and colonized Mars.

cavemen would give magneto some trouble.

Impotent? O͡_o

The wooden doors must've really sent him off the deep end.

@@videogollumer Bruh calling it like it is. The X-Men deserve all they're getting.

He definitely heard a bell that time.

And he had his helmet imagine the pain for that sound.

Gotta think outside the bun

Solid jj couldn't use metalpipe.mp4 cause magneto was there

500th like

I guess you just can't improve on perfection.

I was thinking it was too similar and misremembering with the real show.

It’s lumbering time!

LoL yes! 😂😂

It's the Solidjj way.

Don't 3d printed guns shoot metal ammo?

@@simeonellinger2064 Yes, but you can have non-magnetic metal as a projectile or use a ceramic or plastic as a bullet. A gun is just a mechanism to move mass at a high velocity, what constitutes that mass is irrelevant.

​@@AnonymousRU-vidconsumerhow bout the casings

@@shadowshots9393 There is such a thing as "caseless ammunition". Quite fascinating but has complexity and cost issues. But if one were fighting Magneto none of those things would be of real import.

@@phlogistanjones2722 how about bamboo casings ?

YOU FOOL! YOU THOUGHT IT WAS HOME DEPOT, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY ME! EMOH TOPED!

​@@RevelationsPrimoWhat the shit.

Theres another Parody of this episode called Magneto vs. Mr. Fantastic (Parody) . It's a bit more vulgar, but still pretty funny.

is a narrative device

You made the theme play in my head

Hello police? This comment right here

Actually no. A bullet needs a chamber that can contain the pressures from the explosion of gunpowder in order to be fired effectively. A wooden chamber would just explode and it would be pretty much the same as a bullet going off outside of a gun. Which has been tested many times and has been shown that even point blank, would not jave enough power to even pierce skin. The explosion in the shooter's hand would however cause significant injury to the shooter.

@@REIDAE Whoa; someone who knows how energy works! For real, well explained, 100%

Doom Straws ™

@@DrD0000M “Richards, you fool! You’re sucking on my Doom Straw!”

@@DrD0000M Paper straws?! Perposterous! I; Doom, declare this: All Latverian citizens will receive Doom Straws ™!

I, DOOM; Ruler of Latveria, decares this! My people, I gift you this luxury! All Latverians will have plastic straws only! Paper straws will now have you turned into a Doombot.

@@DrD0000M lol if only it was about Spiderman; then it'd be lore accurate lol

In the 1970s Fantastic Four cartoon, Mr. Fantastic actually beats Magneto by bluffing him with a wooden gun

😂😂😂😂😂

For proof: Darkhold: Spider-Man.

Reed is a terrifying enemy who can also be horrifically tortured exploiting his powers (Secret Invasion comic shows this)

“Hey guys I’m back- dude, I wanted to play chess with that guy!” - Professor X Also, something something “too much iron in your blood.”

Wooden bullets. Very effective on vampires.

The iron in blood, etc., isn't a magnetic form of iron. (Otherwise an MRI would be fatal.) However, water is very weakly repelled by magnets (diamagnetism). With a very, very strong magnetic force he could control the water in their bodies. IRL this is how scientists have levitated very tiny frogs, but we can't reasonably build a magnet strong enough to levitate people. Diamagnetism is extremely weak compared to ferromagnetism.

He also got turned into a baby that one time.

I hate comicbook writers, what is the point of making a villain if you're gonna give him everything for free?

That's not that far off from OG Green Lantern Alan Scott.

​@@massgunner4152 Magneto's not a bad guy and hasn't been for a long time. He has gone through extreme character development over the years. He has earned it.

Right, he just ignored it and I'm like you know that can technically work a wood enclosed explosive with non metal shrapnel would be really effective against him.

DELETE THIS COMMENT BRO

@@XXMatt0040XX can’t tell if your a bot or not but I must ask why?

Yep. Like Barrels filled with Gunpowder.

There are even polymer bullets. But then again, I'm pretty sure brass and lead are not magnetic anyway.

@@rickswordfire4774 Magnets only work on iron.

LARPERS, ASSEMBLE!!!

​@@RachDarastrix2 They work on ferromagnetic metals, which is more than just iron. Of course with Magneto's massive power, he could just lift someone with magnetism alone, no metal required

It's hard to believe that the episode was written by Stan Lee himself.

​@@vetarlittorf1807 Not really. It was not until the relaunch that the X-Men became what they are. Also keep in mind this Reed Richards is the one who slapped his wife and said women aren't meant to speak. Times have changed... Also Susan Storm's OP AF. Just sayin'

Or at least a wooden baseball bat

😂 I see what you did there

Elderly, Jewish, Holocaust survivor. Like to see Reed wiggle his way out of that news interview.
