Calling All ‘Shippers: This is A Deleted Scene of Professor X Putting Magneto in Drag

We saw stirrings of this on Tumblr yesterday, but simply couldn’t believe that it was true until we saw it on Entertainment Weekly. There’s a deleted scene from X-Men: First Class, a film that already has a strong fan following for the pairing of Charles and Eric, where Professor X mentally dresses Magneto up in women’s clothing without his knowledge and jokes about it while they’re on their magical bro-road trip to find mutants. In fact, that fan following already has a name for this: Dragneto.

You’re welcome. Also, Charles Xavier is still a dick.

(Video above is from Topless Robot, who managed to find a low-rez but sharable clip of the scene. Better quality can be found at Entertainment Weekly.)

She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
