SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary In the wake of X-Men '97's stunning episode 9 and Magneto stripping Wolverine's adamantium from his skeleton, we finally have a good answer to one of the longest-running Marvel plot-holes of all time.

Clearly, the risk of using Wolverine against Magneto - rather than sending him to fight Bastion alongisde his other super-colleagues - was a carefully measured one, which almost fatally misjudged Magneto's capacity for extreme measures. Even as the world still shook from his massive EMP attack on humanity, the X-Men simply believed Magneto to be too honorable to rip Wolverine's metal out.

Wolverine's Powers Outweigh His Weakness - It Makes Sense Close Since Magneto and Wolverine first met in 1977's X-Men 104, the pair have faced off many times, with almost every notable battle leading to the same question - particularly in the age of the Internet. But over the almost-5-decades since that first meeting, just two years after Wolverine joined the X-Men team, Marvel has subtly, if not directly, confirmed why Wolverine's very specific weakness to Magneto was ignored.

By forcing Wolverine to face Magneto repeatedly, Marvel's creatives - and now X-Men '97 - weren't ignoring the obvious, they were underlining exactly what makes Wolverine Wolverine. His willingness to face someone capable of causing him such unthinkable trauma is a reflection of his loyalty to his team-mates - and the cause - and his rough brand of heroism.
