2. Magneto In A Dress - X-Men: First Class

You probably remember the scene in X-Men: First Class where Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) head to a strip club to recruit Angel Salvadore (Zoƫ Kravitz) to their team.

Magneto reveals his telekinetic powers to her, which in turns prompts her to reveal her dragonfly wings.

Yet the scene originally included an added comedic beat where Xavier uses his telepathic abilities to make Angel imagine Magneto wearing a blue dress, stockings, knee-high boots, and a red-haired wig.

Angel immediately starts laughing much to Magneto's confusion, before Xavier tells him, "You've never looked more beautiful, darling."

It's an hilarious beat and, honestly, probably should've been included in the final film, even if some might've seen it as a step too goofy.

All the same, it lives on as a home video extra, allowing us all to savour the sight of Michael Fassbender looking very fetching indeed in a dress, and consider the many playful ways Xavier could use his abilities to troll people.
