Its reasonable to expect a High Herald to be able to perform well against Mid Heralds in forum conditions...isnt it?

Well, Mags runs the following gauntlet of Mid Heralds (as per the tierings here at KMC) in battles to the Death or KO with no BFR allowed...

Mags is restored to full health and power after each round of combat...

How far does he get?


1) Wonder Woman...
2) Sersi...
3) Loki...
4) Bizzaro Superman...
5) Martian Manhunter...
6) Black Adam...
7) Beta Ray Bill...
8) Waverider...

Sersi ends him.

Diana could beat him but he also has a chance to beat her. Sersi and Loki could go either way maybe. Bizarro probably stops him, J'onn stops him, BA and Bill stomp him, Waverider haxes him to death.

The responses so far seem to answer your question. People want to prop Magneto up compared to what some others see him as. But then when you pit him against quality mid heralds, it's clear that he is, at best, their equal, and probably lower than many of them. I'd argue that (almost) no one on that list is high herald. Diana, Bizarro, and J'onn certainly aren't and a couple others likely aren't either. And nearly all of them take a majority against Magneto. He's either the absolute class of low herald, or he's middle of the pack mid herald. He's not HH.

I agree with you on all of that, expect one point; would Mags really be the top of the Low Herald Tier?

Looking at the list, I see Jack of Hearts on there; based on feats, I honestly think he is more powerful than Magneto...

How does Mags fare against these Mid Heralds (as per the tierings here at KMC)?

Do you doubt that most of them (if not all of them) take atleast a majority against Mags?

My point exactly; there is a good chance that he doesnt get by Diana, and if he does survive his encounter with her, everyone (atleast so far) is in agreement that Sersi puts an end to him...

Magneto does not have the "stuff" to be a High Herald...

1) Wonder Woman.. Magneto defeats her and use her own gear against her.
2) Sersi...I can see Mags taking her due to shielding and being more powerful
3) Loki... Could go either way
4) Superman...split
5) Martian Manhunter...MM dies. We seen what happen to him against Poloris
6) Black Adam...Magneto loses this one.
7) Beta Ray Bill...Mags wins 6/10
8) Waverider... Lol...WR stomps.

Magneto is a high Herald. can mags take control of magical metal weapons? If he can I could see him beating WW if not he stops at 1.

Magneto is a high Herald.

*takes a peep at the poll results*

Clearly you are the only one here at KMC that thinks so highly of Magneto...

Hasnt it crossed your mind that you might be wrong about Mags power level?

Even Digi agrees that Mags is not a High Herald...

TheLordofMurder
@Carver

Btw, if you actually think Mags shielding will save him against Sersi, then you clearly have no idea what she's capable of; do yourself a favor and read her respect thread before you embarrass yourself further...

Beneath Mags shielding, he is nothing special with human durability; Sersi can reconstruct from being atomized on the other hand...

Sersi's matter/energy manip combined with her psionic powers equals a wtfomg stomp in the favor of Sersi here and she is a bonafide Mid Herald; Mags is less than she is...

I will respond to this later.

Unless there is a direct Magneto vs Sersi reference in comics then this should prove that Sersi won't be able to affect Magneto:

With that said, when has Magneto's shield ever been broken when he's at full strength?

Are you saying they can't be broken?

Seems like they were right about to break when Thor decided to simply absorb them, instead of hitting it a second time.

Blair Wind
Not that they can't - I've just asked the same question before without any conclusive evidence. I'm genuinely curious if Magneto's shields have ever been broken when he's at full strength. Absorbing !=== hitting it until it breaks. As far as I can tell no one on the list can do that trick either (maybe Loki?) besides BRB.

Well, Thor hit it once and the shields were about to break.

Thor even claimed that he could break it with one more strike.

How often do Magneto use these shields nowadays? I've only been sporadically reading the x-men comics, so I too am curious about this.

Cyclops broke it in its very first showing. It doesn't have many showings at all. Magneto had to be boosted by Fabian Cortez to block two nukes by it IIRC.

Do you doubt that most of them (if not all of them) take atleast a majority against Mags? he beats 1, 2 and 5 for a majority. Loki is a bad matchup for him given his magic and would beat him. he could draw a split from Bizarro. 6 and above rank as high heralds IMO and would get a majority againt thim, although BRB would definitely have trouble with it.

eaebiakuya
I remember once Magneto Force Field blocked some attack from Thor and She-Hulk.

I dont remember his shield being destroyed (only in first storys).

In comics, Magneto was able to control iron in the blood and even mental waves. PIS less he is very strong because those hax attacks.

But not sure if it will work in High Heralds. I believe it would fail to kill people like Thor (before he breake/absorve the shield).

Did Sersi get taken out by a Sue Richards kick in the pages following this battle? I seem to forget.

Even with shielding, Sersi has alot of options for beating Mags...

She has excellent illusions, excellent psionic ability, and could play "dirty" and transmute all of the air in the area into fire and win outright...

Magneto isn't a high herald and no one that I know of has claimed that he is. He's part of the upper crust of the low heralds and I'd argue can compete heavily with the mid-herald level characters.

Why is this thread titled the way it is? He's facing a list of mid-heralds here, not high.

But regardless Mags it the upper level of low-herald pushing mid-herald.

Although the tiers thread has gone so long without being updated I wouldn't mind getting it going again.

Upper crust of low herald? I'm not so sure about that one.

The gap between low and mid-herald is almost non-existent, but when you look at the other people who populate the low-herald tier, I'd say he's far from the top one.

I think I'll try a similar gauntlet where I put Magneto up against some low-heralds.

The point of this thread was to drive home the point to carver9 that Mags was not a High Herald (carver9 has been arguing for a while now that Mags is a High Herald)...

I wanted to demostrate that Mags loses to most (if not all) of the Mid Herald Tier (something that a true High Herald wouldnt do), so I put together a sample of Mid Heralds (as per the tierings here at KMC) and made them face off against Mags...

And the results are exactly what I expected; many here believe (rightfully) that Mags gets to 2 at best with most believing that he cant pass 1 and beat Diana...which is fully within reason.

A true High Herald would get atleast a split, if not a majority, against everyone here...with the odd outlier based on powerset advantages of course.
