Fantastic Four: The Menace of Magneto - Phelous

[@ruggiebuggie3195]

I swear, the scene in the gas station is like some comedy sketch. A flashy costumed comic book super villain arrives in his pimped out car, the attendant somehow isn’t impressed and talks of it like it’s a normal car, causing the villain’s ego to explode out of control as he wrecks up the place just because no one acknowledges his amazing super car he worked so hard on.

I still laugh that Magneto was mind-broken so hard by a wooden gun that, even when it's pointed out to him that it was wood the entire time, he still lets himself go to jail. The best part is that he himself has already stated why he couldn't move the money with his "amazing power of magnetism" so it's not like he wouldn't be able to understand why the fake gun would be unaffected. Then again, this was the 70s. The writing back then was wild.
