Magneto uses his magnetic powers to sabotage the base, sending missiles and weapons into chaos.

Uncanny X-Men #2: No One Can Stop the Vanisher! (1963)
Overview:
Uncanny X-Men #2, published in November 1963, is a comic book issue written by Stan Lee, with artwork by Jack Kirby. In this issue, the X-Men face off against the villainous Vanisher, a mutant criminal with the power to teleport at will, who poses a significant threat to national security.
Plot Summary:
The issue begins with the X-Men continuing their training under Professor Xavier's guidance. As they hone their abilities, the scene shifts to Washington, D.C., where a mysterious new mutant known as the Vanisher makes his first appearance. The Vanisher uses his teleportation powers to infiltrate the Pentagon and steal top-secret defense plans, evading all security measures with ease.
As news of the Vanisher's heist spreads, Professor Xavier summons the X-Men and informs them of their next mission: to stop the Vanisher before he can sell the stolen plans to America's enemies. The X-Men head to New York, where the Vanisher is planning his next move. Despite their best efforts, the Vanisher easily evades their attacks, teleporting away before they can land a single blow.
Frustrated and outmatched, the X-Men return to Xavier, who devises a new strategy. He accompanies the X-Men to their next encounter with the Vanisher, this time using his telepathic powers to intervene. When the Vanisher attempts to teleport away again, Xavier telepathically blocks his ability, leaving him powerless and confused. Without his mutant powers, the Vanisher is quickly subdued by the X-Men.
The issue concludes with the X-Men handing the Vanisher over to the authorities, who recover the stolen defense plans. As the X-Men return to their school, Professor Xavier reminds them that their greatest weapon against dangerous mutants is not just their powers, but their intelligence and teamwork.
