00:00Why couldn't young Magneto move a simple coin even after having awakened his powers?
00:03In X-Men, First Class, Sebastian Shaw gives a cruel order to young Eric.
00:07Move a coin in 3 seconds or his mother would die?
00:09Eric tries to concentrate as much as possible, pushes his powers to the limit, but fails.
00:14And Sebastian Shaw carried out the threat.
00:16In that moment, consumed by rage, Eric's powers finally fully awakened.
00:19The metallic objects around began to tremble, float, and twist in the air.
00:23But the coin right in front of him remains motionless.
00:25How is this possible?
00:26And the truth is that Sebastian Shaw purposely chose a 5-mark coin composed of about 90% silver.
00:31And silver is not a magnetic metal.
00:33It practically does not respond to magnetic fields, especially someone who was just beginning to discover his abilities.
00:38At that moment, Eric simply did not have control nor enough power to manipulate the non-magnetic metal and that
00:43failure haunted him for years.
00:44But when he finally reached the peak of his power, he used that same coin to pass through Sebastian Shaw's
00:48head, turning his most painful moment into his coldest revenge.
