I think that magnetos powers make him special, as he is very powerful, and they are endless (well not endless but you get the idea, hopefully it makes sense) possibilities in how he can use his powers, i.e. destry the earth by is magnetic feild, kill a human via the iron in the blood (something like that) and other things, and going off topic and it may sound really stupid, but couldnt jean grey defeat magneto, i.e. she could use her telekenesis to remove the helmet and use her telepathy (how xavier does/would) to defeat him, she could use her force feild to prevent getting attacked by whatever maganeto throws at her magnetically. Can she leviatate like magneto?, and how strong is her force feild?, and how much weight can she lift by telekenesis?
Forgot to mention above he can defeat some powerful mutants such as apocalypse,sinister,xavier,proteus? these are just some of the powerful ones i can think of, not much knowledge on the x-men comics. Also he can defeat normal individual mutants i.e. from the top of my head mutants like mastermind, mesmero, darkstar, colossus, sunfire, banshee, thunderbird,northstar, bishop, maybe nighcrawler? and omega red (even though he is strong/powerful i think his tentacles are metal) and various teams i.e. x-men,morlocks, inner circle,4 horseman, brotherhood, acolytes, alpha flight and x-factor etc just taking a guess with these teams as i am not sure how strong/powerful they are like i said this is just my opinion.
Also i will explain what i meant by magnetos powers are endless i.e. before his rejuvenation, Magneto once lifted a cargo freighter weighing 30,000 tons 50 feet into the air from a distance of 300 feet away.
Although Magneto's primary power is magnetism, he seems to have some ability to project or manipulate any form of energy that is related to magnetism. In the past he has fired a bolt of electricity, he has also created enough intense heat to destroy a metal door. Heat, or infrared radiation, is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which also includes visible light, radio waves, ultraviolet light, gamma-rays, and x-rays. Magneto may be able to project any of these.
He has also been shown creating an anti-gravity field, and presumably does so whenever he levitates a non-magnetic object. Hence, Magneto may be living proof of the long sought Unified Field Theory that all forms of energy are related. However, Magneto almost always uses only magnetism, so perhaps it is more difficult for him to manipulate other forms of energy.
I obtained this information from a a thread on this website, i think he is the only/one of the mutants whoose powers can vary as stated above hasnt just got one form of power.
Sorry for going on and spelling,english or if the information in incorrect.

All very true in more or less ways. But what about the bodily metals? Like iron. In the movie, Mystique injected liquid metal into the guard. But it just added more to what was already there. Could Magneto not just seek out who has natural iron and lure it to him. He could have done the same thing he did to the guard at a smaller scale to anyone else. I doubt any metal is too small for Magneto's manipulation.

How does Magneto fight in the comics? I know he hasn't been showing much fighting in the movies. He controls magnetism, but I dont know how he fights. For example, if he got in a fight with Nightcrawler, wont Nightcrawler win? Since he doesnt have anything metal on him. SO could someone explain to me how he fights.
