Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, cool. Apart from the, like, details, that jibes with my memory. The broad outline works. I can see why they'd compress origins for a remake.

Having watched the FF trailer -- I still hate that Alba chick. The effects look nifty, and the Torch looks perfect. Doable. Watchable.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

ita, I think you and I are one on the pre-impression of the movie. I just counter my worries about Alba with the article I read in a Chicago magazine last weekend about McMahon using his native accent in the movie. (Apparently Latveria must be a postage-stamp sized country in Eastern Europe that was settled by Australians...)

Oh, god, McMahon's Doom had better do a lot of really really bad things. Because that voice help me excuse quite a bit. Damn, he's good at arrogant.

If I only had a brain...

I thought Dr. Doom was the Nazi concentration-camp survivor?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

No, that's Magneto.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Is he also a Nazi concentration camp survivor in the comics, or was that just in the movie as an ironic nod to Apt Pupil ?

Nope, that's the classic Magneto story.

Magneto doesn't wear a mask. He wears a helmet.
