In X2, this evil genius - a Hannibal Lector with preternatural powers - was briefly lured to the side of Good. Now he backslides into his natural malevolence. Donning a mask that looks like the one South Park's Butters wears when he turns into Professor Chaos, Magneto performs one impressive fit of mischief: he teleports one end of the Golden Gate Bridge from Sausalito to Alcatraz...
