Assume the material of the weight they have to lift is metal.

Who can lift more?

magneto by far. I honestly dont think that anyone can lift up more then magneto can lift if its regarding metal. You know that pyramid that superman strained to lift, magneto would have done it with ease.

He didn't strain. He made one noise as he picked up, a grunt or something, then carried the whole thing to Mars (about 35 million miles away)

You do know that the lanterns assisted him with that pyramid right.

They assisted him when he was in space. I assume they covered it so it wouldn't break apart or whatever but he was still shown carrying it and he did uproot it himself.
They covered it in energy but they were busy transporting everyone else, Supes was left carrying the Pyramid, it's not shown that it helped him with the weight.

Its a high end feat for superman to even think about lifting a pyramid since it weighs millions of tons BUT he did strain in the beginning and he slowly took it out of space AND the gl assisted him. It didnt show how long they assisted him but they did. The pyramid was also leaning on his back as leverage, if anything it was a flight strength feat.

Magneto lifted a city size asteroid above the earth without to much of a problem.

Superman strains when he lifts a car, a bus, a building, a moon sized ship, or a planet. He does that all of the time. how can some one think that is a high end strength feat for him is beyond me. Wonder Woman is shown stopping a meteor mid fall, as in having inertia on top of it's weight, with ease. Which was much larger than the pyramid. By Far. Nearly as big as a city. As Terra, who can play with mountains like pebbles, couldn't even stop it. Superman is stronger than Wonder Woman. So I fail to see how the pyramid could be a high end feat for him when wondy stops a meteor far bigger and heaver and actually moving, with ease.

Probably superman

a.) the extreme ease in which he preforms said feats.
b.) we are given actual weights to go with some of the things he has lifted (which seems to be quite rare.)

hell, the simple act of him lifting his key to the fortress (which weighs 500,000 tons) is a greater strength feat than we've seen from most other post-crisis characters. and that's just his friggin' everyday front door key. lol.

As for the thread, since what they're lifting is metal - Magneto wins. Omega level mutants are supposed to have no limit to their abilities, and he does lift Asteroid M, a very large asteroid, 250 miles into the air with relative ease.

Omega-level is a marvel scale. What does that make Superman?

Sorry, but having an Omega tag doesn't automatically make you the winner in a debate topic. Especially if that scale cannot be compared to another character.

Soon as you can show me a limit as to how much metal Magneto can lift I'll be more than happy to concede.

Nope. He was rejuvenated by Alpha (the mutant), hence him looking younger than what he is...

But I mean, he's got total control over the electromagnetic spectrum...one of the four fundamental Forces. He's even been shown (in one of the early Excalibur issues) to rend spacetime itself (wormholes.) So...yeah. Omega level.

It was 200 quintillion tons, as Galan already said.


And uh, I wasn't aware Magneto got any "upgrades." Omega is Omega is Omega. He was Omega when lifting Asteroid M back in 1964 and is now, too.

EDIT: Hm...Forgot about The Collective arc. Wonder if he kept that boost.

Magneto would win this. While Superman is easily one of the physically strongest beings in the DC universe, and he has many ridiculous feats of strength, Magneto's power has no limits to what it can lift. Magnetism isn't something that has a limit to what it can lift, the stronger the magnet, the more it lifts, there is no cut off. Magneto could lift multiple planet sized metal objects thanks to his control over this force.

Supes, unfortunately, is limited by his tissues' upper limit. Unless he sundipped to become stronger he has a limit to his strength.

anyhow, morrison knew he only had 12 issues to make A/S shine, and he used pretty much every iota of page space to do so - and quite well i might add. however, he just doesn't have the plethora of high-end feats mainstream superman has. that's why i wouldn't place A/S above him, overall. just my opinion.

I'd put A/S above him at least in strength.

Supes wins.

For Magneto to generate or control magnetic fields, it requires energy.

Supes would probably win a tag of war, simply because I think he can exert a force with his strength greater than the electro magnetic force Magneto would generate.


As far as the topic is concerned it depends, I think Supes has more power but my theory is that Magneto with his power can create "bridges" OR "conveyer belts" of energy to move these masses along which means he could probably move more weights than Supes at one time, however Supes can push or pull these masses out of those electro magnetic fields with his strength.

So all in all I think Mag can lift more stuff even though Supes has more power (he is limited by the fact that he can't operate on them remotely).

Sorry for the double post.

No, but it's been stated more than once on panel that his potential is practically limitless. During House of M (pre Wanda warp), for instance. Excalibur #11, IIRC.

It's certainly never stated that he was an Alpha-level.

Magneto could cheat and simply fling Supes away by toying with his invulnerability aura (which is a bioelectric field).

I'm not sure it is in the spectrum Mag controls and that would be cheating regardless.

I've never been able to get a good measure on Magneto's strength. He doesn't usually lift things and they do have to be made of metal for him to do it. Most genuine class 100 characters have maybe one rare planet-moving level feat each, right? If Magneto ever did anything at that par then I guess I could say he's about as strong as Thor or maybe the Hulk. Well, those guys on a good day, anyways.

Bioelectricity = electricity = part of the electromagnetic spectrum, thus subject to Magneto's will.

But yes, that would be cheating. Then again, he's a villain and they tend not to play by the rules.

In our real universe, the strongest possible magnetic fields, have been theorized to be somewhere between 10^43 and 10^53 Gauss. Anything greater than that causes the creation of a magnetically neutral object it seems, and the exact calculable value is dependent upon which version of quantum mechanics or its successor proves true.

In a hypothetical fictional universe, like the Marvel universe, in order for Magneto to generate an infinitely large magnetic field, since magnetic fields are generated by moving electrons (as opposed to electric fields which are generated by the existence of nonzero electric charge), Magneto would have to have access to one or more electrons moving at an infinte velocity in some capacity)

If is far more likely that Magneto manipulates magnetic fields, rather than creates them.

Superman wins this on demonstrated feats.

The electromagnetic force is carried by variations on the photon, essentially the many wavelengths and frequencies of light.

Electric fields are generated by magnetic fields, and vice versa, perpetually. Has to do with the vibrations of the electrons, yes. Bioelectricity is no different. It's all a form of radiation. It's all governed by the electromagnetic force.

BTW, your explanation to fascistcrusader - very cool.

Electric fields can be generated by magnetic fields, and vice versa, but that is not always the case.

Esssentially to simplify..

Electric fields arise from the presence of non zero charge in free space, and have a valuation that has nothing to do with the valuation for any motion that the bodies generating the charge possess.

A magnetic field is generated by the movement of charge through free space.

An electromagnetic field is what happens when one takes into account the superposition of the electric and magnetic fields in a given area of freespace.

The electromagnetic force refers to the force of attractiveness or repulsiveness between objects with charge.

The electromagnetic spectrum refers to the waveforms which are essentially variations on the wavelength and frequency of photons, which are objects that have no charge, such as gamma rays, xrays, light, photons, etc.

The best way to think of the connection between the two is that electromagnetic phenomena often cause releases of energy via the electromagnetic spectrum. But the spectrum itself has nothing directly to do with the electromagnetic force.

Now that you mentioned it, this is the first time that I noticed it wasn't the difficulty in sustaining the weight that made him say 'Nn', it was him overpowering the machine (or whatever he did). And yeah, that veign bulging from his neck doesn't really mean much.

In OWAW though he spends several minutes inside the sun. I know he goes crazy, but he doesn't die from the exposure. And in Batman/Superman being close to the sun (like AS Supes was) for a few seconds gave him enough strength to make DS look like a child and shatter his arm. I know there are more instances of sunamping, but meh.

Except he wasn't actually in the sun...just skimming its surface. And it's his freakin' power source. He gets stronger the more solar energy he absorbs...so of course his durability is also going to increase.

Electric fields generate magnetic fields. If you want, I can pull quotes from my Inquiry to Physics college-level textbook.

It would help if you knew anything about what Magneto could do. In the Planet X storyline (New X-Men #148, I believe), he tells Xavier that he's going to reverse the magnetic poles of the Earth. North pole becomes South pole, and vice versa. That is the level of power he has over magnetic and electric fields. Not simply the electromagnetic spectrum.

I know there are more instances of sunamping, but meh. i know superman has sunamped, but you said he is capable of doing so for "several hours." i was just curious if that number came from somewhere, or if it was a guess-timate..

Yeah, it was a guesstimate. Although, if I wanted to be technical...853rd century Superman-Prime is the "current" Supes, and he sundipped for 15,000 years with seemingly no problem, so...

you mean the same superman who returned from his exile completely altered from his 'normal' self? the same superman who was gleaming with powers obtained from the edge of space/time? that one?

if so, i certainly wouldn't say that's a good way to gauge the amount of time a 'standard' superman can dip .

I know electric fields can and do generate magnetic fields, but there's no proof that Supes bio aura even generates magnetic fields and since an electric field doesn't automatically precede a magnetic field, we can't assume Mag can pull or push Supes using his bio aura.

"Electric charges produce electric fields in the space around them. An electric field, regardless of its origin, causes a force on any charged object placed in it. Magnets produce magnetic fields in the space around them. A magnetic field, regardless of its origin, causes forces on the poles of any magnet placed in it." p. 295

"A moving electric charge produces a magnetic field in the space around it. An electric current produces a magnetic field around it....A magnetic field exerts a force on a moving electric charge....Since electrons in atoms are charged particles in motion about the nucleus, they produce magnetic fields...A moving magnet produces an electrical field in the space around it." p. 298-9

"An electric current or a changing electric field induces a magnetic field. A changing magnetic field induces an electric field. Definition of Electromagnetic wave: A transverse wave consisting of a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields....The electric field switches back and forth in direction while its strength varies accordingly. This oscillating electric field will induce an oscillating magnetic field in the space around it. But the oscillating magnetic field will then induce an oscillating electric field. This will then induce an oscillating magnetic field and so on in an endless "loop." The principles of electromagnetism tell us that a continuous succession of oscillating magnetic and electric fields will be produced. These fields travel as a wave, an EM wave." p. 302, 308.

All taken from Inquiry into Physics, sixth edition, by Vern Ostdiek and Donald Bord.

So yes, Supes' bioelectric aura is fair game and easy pickings for Magneto to manipulate at his leisure. And if he doesn't want to, he can also repell the iron in his blood and fling him miles away as "Joseph" did to Quicksilver during the Onslaught saga...

Plenty of ways for him to win at tug o' war via cheating and subtle manipulations.

There's no proof that Supes Bio aura can induce a magnetic field. An electric field by itself does not always precede a magnetic field.

There's no proof that Supes bio aura acts like an electric current or any type of oscillating electric field. And without proof that Supes bio aura has moving charges there is no proof that it can even generate magnetic fields for Magneto to manipulate.

And I doubt he can push or pull or even affect someone with Supes' strength and sub atomic density by manipulating the iron in his system in a tug of war.

In normal circumstances he could, but I doubt the electro magnetic force generated would be enough to affect him if he is working against it in a tug of war scenario.

Dude. It's a bioelectric aura. Which means it generates electric fields and magnetic fields. And Magneto can manipulate both at a whim.

Dude there's no proof that this is the case with Supes Bio Aura, it could be psionically generated. Either way it behaves like a force field.

Maybe it is a closed electromagnetic matrix, which would mean Magneto would be unable to manipulate it anyway.

And psionic energy is generated from electrical firing synopses in the brain. Magneto has been shown to shut down telepaths and block psionic abilities. Look in his respect thread at the very least.

Ok. And if it is a closed electro magnetic matrix? Two fields moving against each other with a neutral "outer" aura? How can Mag manipulate particles with no charge? Not that there's any proof that the bio aura even gives off charged moving particles.

He's used the "bottle effect" before to siphon off The Phoenix's power. Which is based on that principle.

You know when something doesn't have moving particles? When it's at absolute zero temperature. Everything else generates electric and magnetic fields.

Just because I can:

Magneto will pimpslap anyone who disrespects veggies.

Electric fields and Magnetic fields are distinctively different.

Their interrelatedness is expressed through electromagnetism, which only occurs with electric current.

Magnetism cannot exist without electricity because there are no magnetic monopoles(magnetic electrons), there is only electric charge.

Given this fact, just because Superman's aura is electric, it doesn't mean it has a magnetic field.

Storm probably could screw with it since she directly mentally stimulates electrons to make potential difference in thunderstorms.

Static-electricity does. That's why your hair will stand up when encountering such an object - interactions between the magnetic fields.

Really, this is dumb. The object being lifted is made of metal. Magneto is going to be able to lift a shitload of it without breaking a sweat. And if it were tug of war and he wanted to cheat, he could easily screw with Supes' aura or repel the iron in his blood to fling him away.

And how does static build? By adding energy to the electrons. What do that do? Makes them move faster. What does moving electrons generate? Electromagnetic fields.

Whatever faults Galen may have, his taste in sigs is not one of them.
