X-Men (1963) Respect Thread

GoldenHeart

Paramount
I will be covering the original run of the X-Men here.

Starting with vol 1:

Magneto is called earth's most powerful villain

Xavier communicates with his students telepathically accross the mansion

His students pull off a bunch of stunts




Cyclops almost punts Beast through a wall, and breaks Iceman's defensive cube


Jean negs Beast, both physically and romantically


Magneto tampers with a spaceship after it has left the earth, miles away from the launching site. He also controls some turrets and a tank. After amping his magnetism, he launches a missiles hundreds of yards away. He also makes some soldiers unable to shoot their guns, also making them weigh more.




Magneto's got a magnetic barrier that repels attacks. He also traps a bunch of soldiers together.

Nothing on this army's arsenal can get through Magneto's magnetic shield, not even a tank.

Cyclops gets through the barrier with a full power blast, staggering Magneto, although he admits he was unprepared for this kind of power


Angel, Iceman and Beast easily dodge/intercept some guided missiles


Iceman's barrier tanks a rocket fuel explosion

Cyclops plows through the ground to make a tunnel. Together, the X-Men manage to breach Magneto's barrier again, but by the time they finish, Magneto has already flown away. Xavier communicates with the X-Men from the base.

Vol 2:
The X-Men have more or less comparable movement speed


Jean being kind of an ass. Also, Cyclops busts a big brick wall



Again, similar speeds between the X-Men, this time between Cyclops and Iceman


Xavier can do powerpoint presentations with his mind


The Vanisher can teleport


Jean easily deflects Iceman's ice pellets. Also, Angel dodges some missiles



More TP feats from the Vanisher



Jean lifts a huge ball, which Cyclops later sends hurling away with a blast


Xavier contacts an agent located in Washington D.C


The X-Men fight the Vanisher, but are ultimately unable to catch him





The Vanisher's tp is almost too fast to be seen in a camera 20,000 frames a second


Xavier mindfucks the Vanisher, making him incapable of remembering who he even is


Iceman blocks some machine gun fire, and Cyclops instantly caves a giant hole in the ground


Angel likely dodges some fire as well

Vol 3:
Cyclops has improved his reactions by 3%


Cyclops is likely the most powerful X-Men, according to Xavier


Jean pulls off some tricks, while Xavier watches over the countryside, detecting a mutant


Blob is bulletproof


Blob tanks an optic blast. He also breaks some chains



Again, Blob tanking some shit




Angel dodges some bullets. Also, the intensifier would allow Xavier to wipe off the memory of an entire crowd.


Cyclops blasts some peeps with a cannon


Beast dodges some bullets and casually beats a gorilla. Also, Cyclops blasts an elephant several meters through the ground



Cyclops blasts a hole in the ground


The circus dudes are unable to get through Iceman's wall


Cyclops blasts another hole in the ground. Also, Angel dodges another shot.


Xavier probes everyone's memories

Vol 4:
Beast throws everything thrown at him, including what appears to be an arrow



Beast throws a 75 lbs weight at Iceman, who deflects in in a micro-second


Mastermind makes Toad appear as if he was a pig with his illusions. He also takes a punch from super-speed Quicksilver



Magneto perfectly controls a ship with his magnetism


Xavier and Magneto astrally project themselves on the stratosphere. Also, they are called the two most powerful mutants by the narrator


Mastermind creates an illusion of an entire army


Beast digs some holes in a brick wall and throws some stones at Toad. However, he's caught by the Mastermind's illusion. Also, Angel dodges some machine gun fire. Quicksilver is a lot faster still



Scarlet Witch defeats Angel with her hex. Also, Magneto dodges an optic blast which blasted through some concrete


Magneto dodges another blast, while Quicksilver blitzes Cyclops. The later breaks through some concrete, hitting a generator. Everyone dodges said generator's current, and Cyclops manages to send it away by blasting through a big wall



Mastermind creates an illusion of a fire. Xavier states the brotherhood's men are as powerful as the X-Men. Magneto's nuke can destroy the entirety of Santo Marco.



Xavier tanks a bomb


Cyclops is unable to catch Quicksilver

Vol 5:
Cyclops goes through Beast's Danger Room training



Magneto can fly planes with magnetic energy


Which flies to Asteroid M in minutes


Toad easily outguns every other athlete in the race


Magneto wrecks a clock in seconds, which he throws as a projectile at Angel, which the later dodges


However, he's ultimately trapped anyways. Also, Mastermind creates an illusion of fog


Quicksilver dodges all of Cyclops' attacks. Also, Mastermind fools a whole crowd with an illusion of a rhino



Magneto's capsule reaches Asteroid M in a single panel


Beast dodges a pistol shot. Also, Magneto can control every part of Asteroid M with an amplifier


Wanda short circuits the machine with her hex


Wanda believes her and Pietro are no match for Magneto. Also, Cyclops blasts through a steel door and manages to catch Pietro. Beast can also break unbreakable glass with a few hits


Jean breaks said glass in a single hit by throwing a chemical tank at it. Also, everyone dodges Magneto's dart grenade


Iceman creates a bridge between the Asteroid chunks


Mags' capsule again reaches the earth in a single panel. This also show he can control it all the way from the Asteroid

Vol 6:

Mastermind dodges Magneto's ray. Ditto for Quicksilver who does it in a split-second


Magneto's mind powers are apparently second only to Xavier? Also, he sends an astral projection to talk with Namor, guiding himself with his mutant brain, ditto for Xavier



Namor hurls a giant statue in the air


Magneto lifts a freighter with his powers


Namor ducks some electricity and tanks grabbing a wire with his bare hands. Angel also attacks the group in a split-second



Angel dodges Mags' missile-like magnetized boulders. Namor then catches him and throws him away like a bullet. However, Beast catches him. Magneto then destroys the X-Men's ship in seconds with a magnet's ray




Xavier inmediately catches on on Mastermind's illusion. Also, Quicksilver attacks Cyclops in the space of a single heartbeat. However, the later counterattacks, trying to tire him out by making him dodge his blasts


Jean catches Quicksilver and lifts him from the ground with TK


Namor can't break off from Magneto's magnetized metal. Also, Mastermind creates an illusion of fog. Cyclops also busts a wall


Beast is much faster and agile than Namor


Cyclops holds Namor back with a non-full power blast



Magneto's amplified ray is more powerful than anything Namor has felt before


Namor shakes the island, toppling the giant magnet

Tell me when you get to Juggernaut.
Readthrough wise i already did lol, i'm just slower when it comes to actually posting the scans

Most interestingly he's portrayed as above Magneto and possibly a holding back Stranger, and Cyttorak is called the strongest Demon or something among those lines
 
Also, i find it interesting how here Magneto seems to actually have some degree of psychic powers like astral projection, as well as Xavier having stuff like psychic shields
 
I wonder, in issue 6, Namor calls Magneto's amped ray the most powerful thing he's ever felt. What would serve as scaling fodder up to this point? According to the same issue he has met Hulk, the Avengers and the F4 before @Endless Mike

Eh, I don't put a lot of stock in statements like that, since there's a lot of hyperbole and inconsistency about them.
