Mandela effect? More like Magneto effect. You might’ve noticed Magneto didn’t get telepathy-blocking powers from his helmet anywhere until the first X-Men movie, and now screenwriter David Hayter (also known as the voice of Solid and Naked Snake) has revealed how that happened.
The cool thing about Twitter is that users often find themselves thinking about and debating the nerdiest little details of just about everything. Many times, these chats reach the screens of creatives who can shed some light on our favorite works of fiction. In this case, the man responsible for the first X-Men movie’s script has explained why Magneto’s helmet becoming one of his strongest assets against Charles Xavier became a thing. Turns out it almost didn’t happen.
Hayter said the question of why Xavier couldn’t just neutralize Magneto with his busted telepathic powers was brought up by director Bryan Singer, and since no one had a good answer, his helmet was made the ultimate weapon against his old friend-turned-enemy. And in case you were wondering: No, that hadn’t been properly established in the comics beforehand, somehow.
