If blood is 100% water and 0% iron, how did magneto bend blood?

Magneto is a total Gary Stu in these films, even at the end of X3 he somehow has his powers.n

>>149074891 (OP)
Did you not watch the movie?

>>149074891 (OP)
Nigger did you not watch this movie?
More specifically the very scene that happens just before he does this shit?

>>149074891 (OP)
he was too old to play magneto

WATCH THE FUCKING FILM. MYSTIQUE PUTS IRON INTO THE COFFEE THE GUARDS DRINK. HOLY FUCK HOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND A FUCKING MARVEL FILM?

>>149074891 (OP)
This scene is stupid, I hate when characters pull powers out of their asses, or bend their powers in such way that it becomes uncharacteristic of the character. It's super easy to lose consistency once you start to do that.

For example, in the case of Magneto, if the writer wants to go crazy with it, he can make Magneto go from controlling just ferromagnetic metals, to basically all matter, since everything has a magnetic field at an atomic level. Or you can go and make him able to control every person, since bones contain calcium (a metal), or since we have sodium in our bodies (another metal)...

Point is, Magneto is known for controlling classic, magnetic metals, and his powers should be mostly limited to that, unless there is a very specific circumstance that makes him able to do more for a limited time.

>not a comic
>not a cartoon
>didn't even watch the movie
I'm going to make sure this stays on the front page for a week.

op already made this thread a few hours ago. >>149070833

Yes anon we've all seen 'guy who immediately understands every language' comic where it starts off normal, then a writer goes 'well he can understand body language so is great at fighting' and then it goes to 'he can 'hear' the language of the city and knows where the bomb is' and ultimately 'he can talk to and understand every molecule in the universe therefore has unlimited control over all existence'.

We get it. But in this particular scene, they drink iron laced coffee and he rips that out of them. Not difficult.

you'd fucking taste the iron filings if there was that goddamned much for him to pull out

>>149075031
Yeah I know, when I was young I thought the scene was a little BS but that it made some sense and it looked cool, I just wanted to comment about when things like this happen in media in general.

>>149074990
>>149075077
That’s called power creep you fucking child, this isn’t even a remotely novel observation

>>149075023
Sorry, but this thread is staying up forever now.

>>149074956
No she drugs his coffee and then when he's passed out she injects literal metal into his ass with a syringe.

>>149075127
Remember to repost it when this one dies.

Jojo did it first.

>>149075126
Not saying it is dumbass, just stating my opinion on the matter

>>149074990
The comics played fast and loose with Magneto's powers before this, so it's not unprecedented. Granted they had the excuse of the writers not being able to just use Google or Wikipedia to understand how science works and didn't expect the readers to call them on their bullshit like when Magento's magnetic powers allowed him to hypnotize people, or when he made a hole in a wall or dome or something that Iceman made out of ice.
Also, ice is technically magnetic, just not ferromagnetic. I can't remember all the details, just that there are situations where magnets can affect ice.
And Ultimate Magneto also did a bunch of stuff.

Also, in the movie, he makes a quip about the guy having too much iron in his blood, even though the iron (or iron compounds) in blood aren't magnetic the same way regular iron is. But also, Mystique spiked the guy with actual iron, and Magneto was just saying stuff because he's a character in a sequel to a movie where https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0yKSNq-oLg&pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD happened.

I might be Mandella Effecting it, but I swear there was a page from the Stan Lee days of X-Men showing Charles and Magneto finding a cache of Nazi gold, and Magneto uses his powers to lift and Charles is all "wtf gold isn't magnetic what is going on?" and Magneto's all "lol lmao fukken magnets how do they work?"

I'm heavily paraphrasing the dialog of course but that's how the exchange went.

>>149076655
Yeah, well gold is diamagnetic, so maybe that has something to do with that.
Or maybe not, I didn't read the actual comic, and I definitely didn't write it either, so I have no idea what really happened.

>>149074891 (OP)
Your body does have a few grams of iron inside. I guess he could gather it all in your brain and give you a stroke or embolism.

>>149074891 (OP)

the human body contains about 3 grams of iron. for scale, that's about as much as a single pre -1982 penny weighs.

>>149076681
its non ferrous you retard.

>>149076655
>Stan Lee days of X-Men showing Charles and Magneto finding a cache of Nazi gold
Stan Lee wrote Magneto as mutant Hitler.

The thing you're thinking of happened in the Claremont run because Claremont retconned Magneto as Jewish and had his first meeting with Charles happen in Israel where they run afoul of Hydra.

Uncanny X-Men 161

>>149074891 (OP)
Magneto's true powers are doing whatever he wants as long as he is talking about magnetism on the meanwhile

>>149074891 (OP)
>If blood is
It isn't.

>>149076686

the iron in your blood, specifically in hemoglobin, is not ferromagnetic and therefore not strongly attracted to magnets in the way you might think of iron. Instead, it exhibits paramagnetic properties, meaning it's only weakly attracted to magnetic fields. Additionally, the iron in hemoglobin is bound to other atoms, which further reduces its magnetic effect.

>>149076708
>>149076655
Oh and Xavier never questions him about making the gold float either. Just what he is going to use it for.

>>149074891 (OP)
Mystique pumped the guard with so much iron that the son of a bitch would've died of poisoning even if Erik hadn't gutted him with his own blood.

>>149076708
Do you know the issue where he makes a hole in some ice?

>>149076723
I did not come into this thread to learn!

>>149076758
Do you mean X-Men #18? A comic written by Stan Lee, art by Jay Gavin

He's Jewish so his blood lacks the iron that humans have

>>149076781
Yes.
Is that more or less reasonable than lifting gold or the prison break plan from the movie?

>>149076708
>>149076748
Huh. Thanks for sharing anon, and correcting my misremembering.

>>149076689
Ferrous by definition means of or containing iron. If you're going by the chemical definition, the iron in hemoglobin needs to be in a ferrous state to bind oxygen. Other than that, what this anon said: >>149076723

>Is that more or less reasonable than lifting gold or the prison break plan from the movie?
I mean, super powers have always been kind of bullshit.

>>149077394
I should have mentioned this happened in this issue X-Men #18: >>149076781

So Stan was really on a role with that one.

>>149074891 (OP)

blood is 51% water.

Blood is thicker than water

>>149077685
The water in the original context is the water of the womb, while the blood is the blood in a blood pact.
