For reconnaissance, Magneto goes ahead in an astral form, for he is "the second most powerful mutant mind on Earth" (the first being Xavier).<br /><br />When I first read this convoluted blood flow gimmick, my young mind wondered what happened to the mighty psionic power. Was it ever retconned or explained or something?Big Murrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311467081145732439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-11753860999181666962018-09-26T08:57:28.493-04:002018-09-26T08:57:28.493-04:00I absolutely love that cover of issue #110, It'...I absolutely love that cover of issue #110, It's probably my favorite cover in all of Marvel Comics; and that's a bold statement considering there's like six decades of Mighty Marvel!So Speaks Galactus!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06302097094892620954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-74828780139980348572018-09-26T05:15:35.912-04:002018-09-26T05:15:35.912-04:00I would suggest that the Vision's "posses...I would suggest that the Vision's "possession" ability is a mistaken interpretation of scenes in earlier comics. At one point Vish was in the habit of wearing a human-looking mask and clothes to allow him to move among the public and then using his intangibility to quickly exit the disguise when called into action. In #79 he disguised himself as Power Man and the panel where he reveals himself could easily be misconstrued.<br /><br />By the way, the opening panel of Avengers #111, where Magneto is commanding the Scarlet Witch to dance for him with the line "Dance, my blank-eyed beauty!" is the first thing I thought of when their actual relationship was revealed years later.Tiboldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787761673589485012noreply@blogger.com
