Truly, he has been preparing for this moment for his entire life.

It’s cute how Nate assumes that it’s possible to talk Magneto out of fighting anybody, ever. (X-Men: Omega)

Ok, so I’m late to this because I’m catching up on some casts, but let me say, I TOTALLY remember Earth 2, M.A.N.T.I.S., AND VR5. And yeah, horrible cliffhangers abound. Given those, I bet you remember Strange Luck as well (and it’s aborted X-Files crossover).
Honestly, I’m just happy whenever I can prove to folks that VR5 wasn’t just some fever-dream I had.
And I just realized I commented on the wrong episode! D’oh!
