My point is that Thor, who proved he could EASILY deal with Magneto's tricks, had problems due to PIS. IMO, GL's are likewise dumbed down against Polaris.
Meh. Thor fights like a brick often enough that isn't P.I.S. Just like Green Lantern resort to creating simple constructs in too many appearances for someone to scream P.I.S. when they don't resort to all their capable off.

MAYBE he can manipulate it. But it depends on what's in the metal. I mean, he's still limited by the same limits of magnetism. (When it comes to manipulating metals. I realize he also controls the em spectrum..)
Magneto's control over metallic objects both earth and non earth based plus the fact that electromagnetic based characters have manipulated Green Lantern rings leads me to believe that Magneto can do so.

Kyle took control of the light based entity that took control of his powers, too. Has Magneto ever messed with the character Photon (Monica), or any characters with light based constructs? (Quasar?)
I'm referring to the Ion scene where Tangent Flash takes control over his constructs.

Unfortunately since she's also made out of light it's a two way street, so he was able to affect her internally with a blast or something similar. Unfortunately that isn't the case with Magneto.
He has apparently manipulated light as he was able to turn himself invisible when he infiltrated Attilan. He can also apparently control photons, bending them to his will and has enough control to the point it's could have been possible to knock out Dazzler, by turning her powers back on herself.

It makes sense. It has been stated Magneto can control the entire electromagnetic spectrum. His manipulated everything from heat to gravity to sound.I've even seen him bend Cyclop's optic blasts in mid air.
When you have scenes like him punking the Phoenix with the bottle effect, him manipulating constructs won't be a big deal. There's also the recent Proteus scene. They've been many instances where Magneto manipulates exotic energies.
And interestingly enough Magneto has been able to affect Captain Marvel to some extent. His been able to tug at her using his powers. I believe it caused her to transform into her light form and she followed the tug back to Magneto or something similar. That's the closest I can recall Magneto affecting someone like Captain Marvel. His never encountered Quasar directly.

I'm not calling him an idiot but he is thick headed. No one can seriously argue that Guy isn't the most gun ho of the Earth Green Lanterns and rushes in guns blazing. It's been his undoing more than once.

Even in the Giffen era of the JLA, he was smart enough to put a ring bubble over Desperos head and cause his eyebeam to backfire on him, and then catapult him away into the ocean. (He was also idiotic enough to follow Despero and brawl with him, but I'm trying to show his good points here.. ^_^; )
I'm aware of said scene.
Don't worry, I'm not going to low ball Guy. I could if I want to...
mhmm
I've seen him try to physically tackle Black Adam. I'll be nice and only go so far. But you have to take into account all his showings just so you know.

If he could do that, what's to stop him from freezing someone in a moment of time, like Zemo did to Genis-Vell, or folding someone out of existence? (If not for the CIS rule.)
I'm well aware of this feat.
Guy during this era was more competent and less oafish than the one most other people are familiar with. He has some other half decent showings under his belt. These kind of instances are the reason I hold Guy as high as I do in terms of Lantern status. More so than other people I've come to realize.
Just like you said, C.I.S. The feat that you just showed was the only time I recall Guy doing something like that. It's as likely as Thor destroying the souls/spirits of beings.
I'm not going to start arguing that Magneto is going to use his powers to control the iron in Guy's blood, preventing him from even moving, or Magneto creating a wormhole that sucks in Guy's head using his quicker than Northstar reflexes!
I could even argue that Magneto is going to use his high end level telepathy (**** you X-men Movies!) to bombard Guy's will while doing all of this. I'm not however. To be fair, the blood manipulation has been used many times and even beings like Hercules have felt the effects.
Magneto even for all his versatility doesn't work that way. He does however use his energy manipulation enough for it to be a viable and very likely tactic here.
Magnus takes it 7/10. I'm being generous here. I've always had a soft spot for all three Earth lanterns. Maybe it's because I've always hated Hal. Kyle's always been my favorite. His the Green Lantern I grew up with.
Next time, thumbnails please.
(Not to say he's not good, but compared to, say, Kyle..)
