After writing Xavier's comment in this post, I was struck with the sudden mental image of Magneto's helmet as a hollow shell filled with IHOP twin-berry syrup.
Which then led to this short conversation, somewhere in the depths of Brotherhood headquarters . . .
"Uh, boss? You're leaking again."
"Damn. That's the third elegant maroon suit these stains have ruined. I simply must find a more effective material. One that isn't quite so messy."
*pause*
"Toad, if you lick my helmet one more time, I'm going to send Mystique after you with another syringe of iron filings."
"Sorry, boss."
