Tony Stark's expression turned serious as he realized a critical issue: Magneto's powers were a perfect counter to his Iron Man suits. His suits were made of metal, as were most of the weapons they carried. Against ordinary foes, they were invincible, but in front of Magneto, they were mere toys. Magneto could manipulate objects as large as a football stadium with ease, making Iron Man suits trivial in comparison.

Although Tony suspected Magneto might not be from his universe, this realization still served as a wake-up call. What if someone else possessed similar abilities? It was a risk he couldn't ignore. He decided he needed to develop an "Anti-Magneto Armor" to counter such threats in the future.

For now, though, Tony's primary focus remained on completing his first Iron Man suit. He had a demonstration of the Jericho missile in two weeks and planned to surprise the mastermind behind his attempted assassination.

The room fell silent, and the atmosphere grew heavy. Both Charles and Hank stared at the screen showing the missiles reversing direction, their emotions complex. This event marked the beginning of Charles and Erik's rift. Before this battle, they had been close friends, working together to build a team of mutants and thwarting the plans of the Black King. Afterward, they became adversaries, remaining at odds until the Sentinel crisis in their old age forced them to reconcile.

Hank, understanding Charles's lingering feelings, glanced at him but was cut off before he could speak. "I'm fine," Charles said flatly, not wanting to dwell on it.

Logan, unable to contain his curiosity, commented, "So this is when you and Erik split up." He had heard about Charles and Magneto's past friendship and their eventual fallout but never knew the specifics.

"Logan, you don't need to say it out loud," Hank interjected, feeling it was best left unspoken.

However, their attention quickly shifted to the next video, which showed Magneto lifting a football stadium, leaving everyone stunned.

"This didn't happen in the past. Erik never did this. If he had, I'd know. This must be a future event," Charles said, his tone grave. "What is Erik planning?" Hank wondered aloud, pushing his glasses up his nose. The scale of Magneto's actions suggested something significant.

Looking at Logan, Hank sought answers, but Logan shrugged, "I don't know. I only met him when he was an old man. I don't know what he did in his youth."

"Do you still think rescuing him is a good idea?" Charles asked Logan pointedly. Logan had revealed their plan to rescue Erik to stop Raven from assassinating Trask. Though initially opposed, Charles agreed for Raven's sake. Now, seeing the future consequences, he questioned the plan.

"Don't ask me. This was your idea," Logan replied, feeling equally conflicted.

Hank interrupted, "The Golden Gate Bridge? Erik lifted that too?" His astonishment cut into the conversation. "Do you know anything about this?" he asked Logan, referring to older Magneto's feat.

Logan's knowledge of Magneto's actions was limited, but Hank's reaction underscored the gravity of Magneto's potential threat.
