Magneto's Magno-Ship in the MC2

 

Here’s another fun little post about a random vehicle from the Marvel Comics which returns, in some form, within the pages of an MC2 story. Today, Magneto’s Magno-Ship!

 

With a whole Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to transport, is it any wonder Magneto introduced the Magno-Ship in X-Men (vol. 1) #5. While it was introduced in issue #5, it wasn’t named until X-Men (vol. 1) #6 while the similar Magna-Car debuted in X-Men (vol. 1) #7.

 

The Magno-Ship would make a few more appearances within the pages of Avengers #48 and #49, while the general design of the Magna-Car would go on to inspire Magneto’s strange mode of transport seen in the 1978 Fantastic Four animated series known colloquially as The New Fantastic Four.

 

In the MC2, major Magneto mega-fan and magnetic-manipulator Magneta utilized her own escape vehicle in J2 #6, potentially a version of her self-styled ‘Magnojet’ which she unveils to J2 and Wild Thing in J2 #8. I wonder if Magneta watched an in-universe Fantastic Four cartoon?

 

Until I can afford a vehicle that doesn’t require gas, I remain
