Magneto vs Superman

Superman: look I don't want to fight you.

Magneto: don't worry it won't be much of a fight. (starts powering up with electro magnetic force)

Superman: I don't want to hurt you.

Magneto: don't worry you won't. (hits him with energy)

Superman: great Scott...I ..I can't move.

Magneto: that's the idea.magneto

recently in the batman/superman comic cosmic king (who has basically the same level of power as the old magneto when he wasn't tapped into the earth electro magnetic grid) was killing superman, but with effort he resisted. Old Magneto would have simply tapped into the earths magnetic field and finished superman off. Current magneto would end the battle with little effort. You can use the argument that magneto is only a mutant and supes is cosmic, but by the very definition magneto is at one with of the basic forces of this universe. He is cosmic. Xavier says that he should even be alive with powers like that and the truth is Magneto is as human as superman, can die like a human being only because he thinks he suppose too.

Superman loses.

There are too many people who think Superman can't be beaten without psionics, kryptonite, or magic. Magneto can manipulate Superman's force field/aura at whim. Magneto has COMPLETE CONTROL over the electromagnetic spectrum. That includes sunlight.

This is stupid. Magneto wins easily.

Hmm... so he can take his invulnerability... and stop him absorbing more sunlight...

That leaves his MATP. Once Supes realises what's happening (which will take a tiny tiny fraction of a second given his super-speed thought processes) he will just fly at Magneto and smack his head off. Or drop a mountain on him. Or something to similar effect...

C'mon dude that is such a stupid statement.

Electromagnetic Field. It repels such attacks.

magneto can also:

create a hologram of himself in one location, while he sits back in another and sucks up Superman's UV energy like it's a Sunkist soda. Superman keeps punching the fake Magneto and wondering why he can't hit him. Meanwhile he's getting weaker. Eventually his "superbrain" (that never seems to help him against Batman) makes him realize that Magneto is somewhere else entirely but can't tell where because his X-ray vision isn't working anymore (Magneto controls X-rays). Finally, Superman is almost powerless and Magneto decides to appear, sipping iced tea and very amused by the whole thing. He uses his mind control powers to tell Superman to go f#ck himself, and Superman goes to the market to buy some condoms first.... (what a boyscout!)

Why would he need condoms?

What if Supes threw a ten mile wide asteroid at him? Could his electromagnetic field repel that lol? 😄

Just kidding.

If Mags is floating then I'll agree with u that Supes prob wouldn't be able to penetrate it barehanded.

But if Mags is standing, then I very much doubt his field extends underneath him. Or he would indeed be dragging large semispherical mounds of earth with him wherever he walked, lol.

And if it doesnt extend underground, then Supes could quite easily drill down, under and pop up right next to oldprune face in a split second before Mags could realise what was going on.

Then a super-squeeze of Supes hand would make melon-sorbee of Mags' head...

Superman is impressionable. He figures even when f#king himself, the FDA gives their warnings for a reason.

lol! U guys are sick in the head sometimes u know? 😉

N also - Supes can see into the electromagnetic spectrum. He'd know if it was real or a hologram, lol.

Yes, actually. that was about the dimensions of the first Asteroid M, which Magneto apprehended and built on his own.

As for the rest, Magneto almost never stands. He hovers.

Superman can see X-rays. That's about it from what I've seen.

An asteroid would have considerable metallic content. Magneto would probably beat him to death with it.

Fair enough lol.

And what about a one hundred mile asteroid? Remember - this is Superman we're talking about... 😉 Even the puny little POST-crisis Superman that we're talking about could throw something as small as that! 😄

Doesn't Magneto support Asteroid M with his power? He doesn't even focus on doing it either.

Same principle. Magneto could control the earth with his power. Where the hell is Superman getting these asteroids?

"Doesn't Magneto support Asteroid M with his power? He doesn't even focus on doing it either."

Yup.

Wow. He does some pretty awesome stuff lol.

I take it we're deffo talking current pwer levels of both characters?

And no, not all asteroids have considerable metal content.

And Superman has traced radiowaves to their source before by seeing them.

And where do u normally find asteroids lol? And not necessarily asteroids, just large chunks of granite etc...

And Magneto controls X-rays - he could make Superman see whatever he wants him to see.

How in blue blazes would he know that Supes has supervision?

The Egyptians used to think that we could see things by sending beams out of our eyes. It doesn't work like that, things go IN to our eyes. Supes' eyes can see a wider spectrum - and Mags wouldn't know this.

Not that it has any bearing on the fight lol.

And I can see the advantages that you guys are pointing out in Mags' favour. I'm not disputing that against current Superman he's more likely to win.

I'm just trying to say that even notsoSupes has a chance, if anyone does....
