I know the exact issue you’re talking about. I read it when it first came out and thought “HOLY #&#(*@!!!!”

Magneto is so disgusted by the fact that someone like Logan had the audacity to even touch him (he's that holier than thou), that and I think he's a bit unnerved by it, and so he decides to literally just liquify the metal around Wolvie's skeleton and rip it out of his body from a hundred different points. Wolverine goes into a coma, his healing factor barely keeps him alive from the shock to his system, and when he finally wakes up, no more metal exoskeleton. Even his claws when he pops them out are bone claws. I mean how awesome is that? Really led to a vulnerable time for Wolverine, who up until then was pretty much infallible. When do they write THAT into the films?

I personally think that apart from Magneto, the Dark Phoenix is a brilliant character more than Professor X. What really worked in the comics but wasnt explored in the films is Cyclops, the leader of the X Men, why was he made into a wimp in the films? The guy kicked a lot of a** in the comics, and he was really believable as the leader. Oh well, its not really surprising as Hollywood always never knows what to do. And again, we have also yet to see Storm's potential. I would love to see a Storm versus Callisto spin off, or even side story. That was wild in the comics! So yes, there is more to the X-Men than just Magneto and Xavier, and that is said with all due respect. I have to agree with Cole, the Professor X in the comics is quite boring but I love Magneto.

And since that show is a turd because of all the side characters then i dont still don't think X3 will be any good. Comic book Prof. X is a bit boring. And comic book Magneto is a true menace but these guys are more drama than action. So I'm not really a big fan of two soap-boxers duking it out when there are other perfectly good stories to be seen.
