10 Best Magneto Moments
10. Interrogating The French Banker - X-Men: First Class
X-Men: First Class was easily the best Magneto movie out of the entire X-Men franchise. One of the first scenes featuring Magneto (or Erik, as he has yet to truly become the Master of Magnetism), involves him interrogating a French banker for the location of the film's villain, Sebastian Shaw - who also happens to be the man who killed Erik's mother during the Holocaust.

Michael Fassbender's demeanour and dialogue delivery is on-point, and Henry Jackman's epic Magneto theme song builds to a crescendo as Erik proceeds to pull the banker's tooth out with his magnetism, leaving him struggling and helpless.
The smirk with which Erik subsequently leaves the scene makes this one of Magneto's most badass moments in the entire X-Men franchise.
