Description: X-MEN "Magneto Was Right" and Rainbow X-Men Logo Comics Inspired Magnets Two 1.25" flat collet magnets: one with a popular quote from the X-Men comics, and one with the X-Men’s logo in a rainbow palette. "Magneto Was Right": a slogan used to describe the views of Marvel Comics character and X-Men villain, Magneto, namely his extremist position that war is the only way to achieve equality for the fictional mutant race, as opposed to the X-men’s pacifist approach. The precursor to the phrase first appeared in 2001 X-Men storyline “Eve of Destruction.” Magneto is believed to be killed. He left behind recordings of his supposed last moments, in which he talks about his ideals, including mutant superiority. Because of this, mutants worldwide considered Magneto a martyr. In the 2003 X-Men series, written by Grant Morrison, a rebellious student wore a T-shirt with the phrase “Magneto Was Right”, similar in design to that of the famous Che Guevara T-shirts. Stencils of the slogan, sometimes accompanied by an outline of Magneto's helmet, have been seen around the world. Rainbow X-Men logo: The X-Men are often seen by many people as an analogy for gays and lesbians: characters' mutations often kick in at puberty, their differences can be painfully visible or entirely concealable, they tend to associate with their own kind, and many are abandoned or expelled by their birth families. Magneto actor Sir Ian McKellen, who identifies openly as gay, told Buzzfeed in 2014: "I was sold [X-Men] by Bryan [Singer] who said, 'Mutants are like gays. They’re cast out by society for no good reason.'" "Have you tried ... not being a mutant?" is a line from the second X-Men film, and it certainly rings true to many people as something they heard from their parents/friends/teachers. Either magnet is an entirely appropriate addendum to your mind-shielding helmet, your wheelchair, or your stealth aircraft.See our store for more interesting items!
