3. Frankensteins Monster Gets His Revenge - X-Men: First Class (2011)
You would think that Magneto getting revenge against Sebastian Shaw would be the most poignant moment of his revenge, but surprisingly, this isnt the case. In what is one of the characters definitive moments Magneto gets revenge on two of Shaws subordinates, namely two former Nazis. Years after the war is over Magneto finally tracks down two of the scumbags who had a hand in his family getting killed in a bar in Argentina, and naturally, all hell is about to break loose. After some chitchat with the Nazis they soon realize who he is and one pulls out a knife on him, which of course doesn't work, and the other pulls out a gun on him, which again, doesn't work. When one of the Nazis asks what he is, Magneto simply responds, Lets just say Im Frankensteins monster, and Im looking for my creator. The way Michael Fassbender delivers the line is just awesome, showing how ruthless, menacing and just plain cool he is. Why couldn't they have made a movie of Magneto just hunting Nazis? That would have been too epic. Inglourious Basterds meets X-Men, if you will, and involving absolutely no fighting in basements.
