10 Worst Things Magneto Has Ever Done
4. Ripped Out Wolverine's Adamantium
After Magneto disrupted Earth's electromagnetic field, Professor X led a crack team of X-Men on to Avalon. Also, Wolverine tagged along.
Logan's involvement was pretty questionable to say the least, especially because Xavier's plan was for Wolverine to fight Magneto alone while he and Jean Grey attacked him telepathically. It went about as well as... well as a guy with metal bones fighting a man who can control metal.
Now Magneto and Wolverine traditionally both stick to certain codes of honour, a trait that has kept them from ever going all out against each other. However, in this fight the kid gloves came off and Wolverine delivered a viscous slash to Magneto's stomach, nearly gutting him. This caused the Master of Magnetism to snap and, in one of the most iconic scenes in X-Men comics, he tore the adamantium right out of Logan's body.
It was a brutal scene, with Wolverine only surviving thanks to Jean Grey using her telekinesis to literally hold him together as his healing factor fixed him.
It was also what caused Charles Xavier to finally cross the moral line and take out Magneto. Professor X reached into his former friend's mind and wiped it, leaving Erik Lehnsherr nothing more than a drooling vegetable.
