Correct I'm withdrawing my red sunlight plus krpt argument. However it does prove that Mags could affect Supes Em absorption and weaken him.

I agree with the rest of your post though and yes, that bullet was almost planet-sized, it was moving much, much faster than light and it was a crap load of lightyears away. Magneto pulled it back in a a day and that thing left the solar system within minutes after phasing throught earth and was getting exponentially faster and was travelling for months.
Thats hardcore and he's blocking Emmas TP.

Yeah it was faster then light most definitely. The bullets dimensions were given in Astonishing X-Men or S.W.O.R.D. I remember them saying something about being a mile wide or big or something.
However he didn't just pluck it out of space. When he was with the HE earlier on in Fractions run he memorised the unique properties of the metal. So that's how he was able to locate it.

He was able to create radiation to beat Proteus. Proteus has vast psionic powers and can warp reality, he was dying when he did it. He can clearly do more complicated tasks when fully fit.
It is an impressive feat but...in the context of the arc Proteus weakened itself by gaining multiple hosts.

It was in one of the Man of Steel books, iirc. Man of Steel #1 or #2. In the Golden and Silver age I believe it was Lois who wrote the article about Superman, but in the modern post crisis era, if memory serves, I believe it was retconned that Superman actually wrote the article about himself as Clark Kent to give himself a big story for his debut at the Planet (which pissed Lois off because she was top dog reporter).*edit
And I'm not, for one, suggesting Magneto could make Kryptonite or Red sunlight on a whim (which would be ridiculous), I simply stated that given the general knowledge of DC Earth, pretty much everyone knows that Supes gets his powers from sunlight and that he's a Kryptonian, which in turn would mean Magneto knows that Superman's powers come from an EM energy source (the sun). The criminal element of DC Earth (Supervillains, Intergang, etc) would know about kryptonite and red sun, but their numbers don't constitute enough of the populace to contend it's common knowledge of the general populace, just general knowledge of the criminal community.
ill look for the comic.
i wasn't suggesting you personally were.
but they don't know about red sun. it's actually a select number of people that know about red sun. most villains don't even know about it.

Not sure what you mean by that but he still absorbs yellow sunlight right? Doesn't everyone have an 'aura'?

for me, the outcome of the battle really hinges on whether Magneto knows about Superman's red sun weakness of not.
He doesn't need to, he has other options.

superman used to have a bio-electric aura around him that was part of his powers and durability; he doesn't have it anymore.
shutting off superman's access to the sun has been tried, and more often than not it failed (even when done by Polaris).

Still not sure if that really makes that much difference.

He doesn't need to do just that. Mags can clearly see that Superman absorbs yellow sunlight and its good for him. Mags cans change and manipulate em energy therefore he could change yellow sunlight into something like anti-sunlight. This would probably involve in 'reversing' the properties of yellow sunlight.

anti-sunlight has been tried; it didn't work.
it does, as it was the reason a lot of people could screw with his powers before.
again, that wouldn't work.
