Magneto at the park - Super Villain Parent

When the X-men super villain Magneto isn’t busy plotting the end of humanity or the destruction of his foe Professor Charles Xavier, I like to imagine that he takes some time to play with his kid on the playgrounds. With the power to move metal, he’d never have to physically push the swings!

Can you imagine all the other kids getting mega jealous as some one’s father, who just happens to be the master of manipulating metal, gives his daughter the ultimate ride on the swings? He’d be able to push her just a little bit higher, and slow her down very gently.

“Higher!” she’d scream. And of course Magneto would give her just enough “umph” to push her high into the sky.

Of course if it was me, I’d be freaking out the whole time as I was attempting to not have my girl fall off from the swing.
