Magneto's 10 Greatest Movie Moments

2. Lifting the RFK Stadium - X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

Days Of Future Past offers a look into the bleak future of what mutant kind (as well as humankind) will look like if a human vs. mutant battle were to persist. Seeing as though Magneto was one of the biggest advocates of this type of battle, it€™s understandable that his future self would have learned his lesson. His race is dying, and now he€™s an old mutant filled with regret. So, when Wolverine goes back in time, recruits a young Magneto and explains the situation, you would think he would reconsider his position, maybe realize his attempts were futile and maybe start to consider his friend€™s Xavier€™s position of peace. Nope, not at all! Not only does he not learn his lesson, in fact he takes his hatred for humans up a notch. In an effort to basically scare the human race into submission, he lifts the extremely large Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington D.C. and drops it around the White House. Imagine, you were living during the €˜70s - you weren't familiar with mutants and all of a sudden you turn on the TV and there is a guy lifting an entire sports stadium with his mind. You€™d be forgiven if you were to promptly soil your pants.
