Fantastic idea there, Magneto gets his butt kicked for sure, although are we sure Plastic Man has no metal in his body at all?
I've never seen him bleed - I think he's pliable plastic through and through.
But wait.-,,Plas would still have iron molecules in his system. See xmen 2 for an idea of what could happen .
I was going to point out that Maggie could still drop every car in a ten mile radius on top of Plas which would not kill him, but would surely slow him down. Then I noticed the barren landscape, and I realized that you'd already thought of that! Bravo, Sir, for being one step ahead!
It then occurred to me that they are fighting in a polar setting which gives a double meaning to the title. Bravo again, Sir! I assume that they are fighting near the North Pole which is made up of snow and ice and no land and is therefore lacking in metal in the natural environment.
And before some wise guy points out that Plas becomes less fluid and elastic in an extremely cold environment, I'm going to take the liberty of suggesting that he's wearing his Plas thermal underwear.
(Now I'm wondering if there is such a thing as an Earth-STF No-Prize.)
The environment certainly gives Eel an advantage as long as Magneto cannot seize him by iron molecules in his blood and since he is capable of reproducing he likely has them.
@TJW: unless, of course, they're fighting at the North Magnetic Pole (which would give Herr Lenscher quite the energy boost). If so, Mr. O'Brian would most likely get his Plas kicked!*
*Oops! Somehow posted this in triplicate. Consider the first two copies deleted.
I wasn't aware that Magneto derived his powers from the Earth's magnetic poles. And if he doesn't, why would being near the magnetic north pole give him "quite the energy boost"?
There was an an Avengers tussle with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants back in the early 1970's. Following their defeat of the latter, the Avengers imprisoned Magneto in a plastic bubble underground, equidistant between the North and South Magnetic Poles. If that could neutralize his powers, it stands to reason just being at one spot or the other would have the (ahem!) polar opposite effect.
"That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it." :-)
Considering that Magneto is getting his ass kicked on this cover, I'd say that your theory is incorrect, Cary Comic.
Was Magneto Marvel's answer to Dr. Polaris, or did he come first?
Anon: It looks like they were both created at about the same time, possibly inspired by something in the news. Dr. Polaris saw print first (June 1963) but Magneto (Sept. 1963) was right behind. Of course, both were preceded by Cosmic Boy of the Legion (1957), and there were Golden Age magnetic characters, including The Human Magnet (1-shot Batman villian, 1952) and The Magnet (hero, 1944).
and 'Magno', at Quality comics, was even earlier than those...
@Anonymous #1---Not necessarily, dude. Look how often real-world covers depicted the villain kicking the hero's butt! Only for the reverse to prove true within the book, of course.
A similar reversal could just as plausibly occur, here. After all; even TV news weathercasters can't be wrong all the time!---Cary
Uh... Cary, you do understand that there is no book, right?
Doesn't mean I should give up hoping.
Who knows? This might even be the year Miss America's wish for world peace finally comes true!
Btw: is it true that Amelia Earhart and Jimmy Hoffa were seen together at Studio 54, recently?
[...while quietly speed-dialing for the men in white coats]
Oooooooooookay! On a lighter note, Ross, how about Johnny Thunder meets Lionel Ritchie? Just so you could entitle it...
"Cei-U, Say Me!"
Now, THAT is a real-world published team-up I'd buy in a New Yawk minute!
*ahem* Only one quotation mark.
Oh, dear! Daviticus is right.
The quote marks to the left of the P are missing!
I guess Anonymous #1 was wrong. Magneto ain't as helpless as he looks.
No because down to every last molecule he is plastic.. otherwise he will be able to shape shift stretch or regenerate body parts at will.
