Magneto revealing to Wanda, Lorna, AND Pietro all at once that he’s their dad in the goofiest way possible, namely making them a big dinner and then telling them warmly that it’s the least he can do… FOR HIS CHILDREN…….. this feels like a Waiting For The Trade comic except it’s supposed to be deadly serious.

After suffering from polio in 1934, Ida Lupino had persistent issues for the rest of her life with her right hand and leg and the hearing in her right ear. In 1950 at the height of the polio epidemic in America, she directed, wrote, and produced the film "Never Fear" about a young dancer who is crippled by polio. The film had a pseudo-documentary style, featuring the first wheelchair dance with dancers from Kabat-Kaiser, real life patients at a rehabilitation centre, and Ida's own doctor.
During filming, Ida broke her ankle and directed the movie while in a wheelchair herself (pictured below):
