A six-panel SMBC comic parodying X-Men. Panel 1: Wolverine shouts "MAGNETO!" Magneto, in his red helmet and cape, replies "Ah, Wolverine. I thought you'd come. You've made quite a mistake tangling with a man who controls magnetic fields." Wolverine pops his claws (SHINK!) and growls "We'll see about that, bub." Panel 2: Magneto strains, clenching his fist. Panel 3: Wolverine, looking pained, says "No." Panel 4: Wolverine, doubling over, shouts "Stop!" Panel 5: Wolverine clutches his head and screams "AAAAAAGH!" as his metal skeleton is manipulated. Panel 6: The punchline reveals Magneto isn't hurting Wolverine to fight him — he is calmly using his magnetic powers (a green energy stream from his hand) to operate a television set labeled "WOLVERINE'S PORN," implying he's forcing Wolverine's adamantium body to serve as a remote. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of Wolverine still screaming "AAAAAAGH!" with placeholder text reading "why did zach forget to scan a votey before going to the library!" — a meta note where the cartoonist admits he forgot to draw a real bonus panel.
