x men 5

Magneto is definitely winning the competition for most hilariously evil lair in the Marvel Universe.

Click on the player below to listen to the 87th episode of The Brothers Marvel podcast, in which we discuss X-Men No. 5, featuring Walt Disney’s contributions to the 1964 World’s Fair, how realistic a snow key would be, Magneto’s absolutely incredible asteroid base, one of those classic track-meet riots from the 1960s, a scientifically unlikely but very successful ice tunnel and a continuing suspicion that Professor X is a bad guy.
