VEHICLES
DESTROYED:
Throughout the films, Magneto destroys over 200 vehicles, a feat
understandable given his ability to control metals. Some of the more
impressive instances of destruction occur in X-Men: First Class when
Erik picks up and drops an entire submarine and uses an anchor to
completely demolish a luxury yacht.
Magneto is arguably one of the most powerful mutants. His
powers first surfaced during his imprisonment at Auschwitz during
WWII and include the ability to control all forms of magnetism, the
iron in a person’s blood, and the Earth’s EM field, which enables
him to fly.

Professor X, the leader and creator of the X-Men,
is an incredibly powerful telepath and scientific
genius. He has a wide array of telepathic powers,
including the ability to make himself invisible by
manipulating the minds of others.
Professor X isn’t really known to cause much
damage, which makes the $251 million dollar
price tag so surprising. What tipped him over to
the destructive side was when he took over
the mind of a Russian commander in X-Men:
First Class to destroy a Russian cruiser.

8. pyro
While this powerful mutant can control fire, he
cannot create it. Pyro was a student of Professor
X and lived at the X-Mansion for a short time until
he left the X-Men and joined Magneto’s Brotherhood.
Most of Pyro’s damage was inflicted at the end
of X-Men: The Last Stand when Magneto threw
car after car while Pyro torched them. He also
imposed severe damage on a couple of cop cars
outside of Bobby’s house in X2: X-Men United.

9. ICEMAN
Iceman, a student of Professor X, has the ability to generate
and manipulate ice and snow and can freeze most things. He
has also been known to have the ability to turn his body
into an organic ice form, rendering him able to withstand
being completely surrounded by fire without being hurt.
The only vehicular damage Bobby did was
to a single sedan in X-Men: The Last Stand
when he froze a car that had been tossed
and torched by Magneto and Pyro.

Sabretooth, born in 1830, is half
brother to Wolverine. He has several
animal-like abilities and has a healing capacity like
Wolverine. Sabretooth is generally allied with Magneto's
Brotherhood, though there are times that his allegiance to
family, his half-brother, wins out.
Despite Sabretooth’s fearsome appearance, he isn’t
that destructive. He causes minor body damage to
three vehicles, including Logan’s truck in X-Men: Origins
when he scrapes the hood with his claws.

12. WOLVERINE
This mutant is one of the most popular mutants
throughout the X-Men saga. His past is murky and
somewhat unknown, even to him. Born in 1832, his
regenerative healing factor allows him not only to heal
from most wounds in a matter of seconds, but also
dramatically slows down his aging process. He goes by
Logan, his biological father’s last name.
Throughout the films, Wolverine slashes and claws up both
foe and vehicle. Most of his damage was done in X-Men
Origins: Wolverine when he slashes two military Humvees
and destroys a Boeing Apache AH-64D Helicopter. This
second one cost a cool $18,000,000 in damages.

14. TOAD
Toad, a member of Magneto's Brotherhood, is
probably one of the lesser-appreciated mutants
all around. His tongue can stretch up to 13
feet, he can leap far distances, and he once
spat slime on Jean Grey's face, leaving her
unable to breathe.
The damage Toad does happens when he grabs
Cyclops’s visor, causing Cyclops to shoot his Optic
Blasts at several nearby vehicles.

15. Phoenix
Jean Grey, one of the most powerful mutants,
was able to lift objects at will with her mind from
a young age. For years Professor X works to
create psychic barriers to restrain her powers, but
this ultimately causes her to develop a suppressed
alter ego, known as the Phoenix. Among Jean’s
incredible powers is the ability to disintegrate her
opponents through powerful telekinesis.
Jean may be mostly well-intentioned, but in In X-Men:
The Last Stand, she, as Phoenix, disintegrates the
X-Jet. This pricey plane, based on the SR-71 Blackbird,
is valued at well over $247 million with inflation taken
into account.

17. CYCLOPS
This mutant is one of the first members of the
X-Men, and as such, is chosen to succeed Professor
X. He has the ability to fire beams from his eyes
called Optic Blasts, though these blasts are
uncontrollable; he wears glasses made of ruby
quartz which allow him to control them.
Most of the vehicular damage Cyclops inflicts is
somewhat unintentional; in X-Men, he shoots Sabretooth
off of the Statue of Liberty who falls and destroys a
fishing boat valued at around $300,000.

18. RIPTIDE
Riptide is a mutant who is able to create and manipulate
powerful whirlwinds with his hands. He can also, by
spinning his body, essentially become a human tornado.
The majority of damage Riptide racks up comes from the
destruction of the first X-Jet in X-Men: First Class. The
valuation of the X-Jet was based on the SR-71 Blackbird
with additional technology and inflation taken into account.

The Russian Battleship destroyed by Professor X in
X-Men: First Class tops out at the most expensive
damaged vehicle, followed closely by the X-Jet
($247,961,790), of which three are destroyed
throughout the films.

20. JUGGERNAUT
Juggernaut, after being freed from US Forces imprisonment, is
recruited into Magneto’s Brotherhood. His immense strength,
speed and force make him a formidable weapon and his skin,
muscle and bone structures are four times denser than that
of a normal human being.
Juggernaut racks up all of his vehicular damage in a single
occurrence: in X-Men: The Last Stand, this destructive mutant
barrels over an Up-Armored Humvee, an easy though costly
feet for Juggernaut.

21. THE BLOB
Blob’s main source of power and strength comes
from his extensive proportions. The fat tissues in his
epidermis absorb the impact of any blows and his
nerve endings do not transmit tactile perception to
his brain, causing him to feel very little pain. He
usually knocks his opponents out by merely
bouncing off of them with his immense midsection.
Fred’s single vehicle-damaging act was in X-Men
Origins: Wolverine when he stops a missile inside an
Abrams M1 Tank gun, causing the tank to explode.
