Magneto vs Superman

nuh uh! Refer to Battle Rules on the board:

Basic knowledge

Each side receives basic knowledge of the other. A good measure of this would be what the general population of the character's homeworld knows. For example, that Superman has a weakness to Kryptonite is general knowledge, but that he's Clark Kent is not.

So Maneto would know about the X-ray vision.

So Supes would know about Mags' magnetic powers?

Then he WOULD go against character and he WOULD splat Magneto across the landscape with a superspeed punch before Magneto could even think.

Contrary to popular belief, Supes isn't thick. In fact - he's a genius. A super-genius.

He'd no the effect that electromagnetism could have on him - rendering his flight and invulnerability limited or even useless.

So he would destroy Magneto in the first 1000th of a second.

Mags shields are always up. Wouldn't work.

Has Magneto EVER been hurt by a physical force?

Sure, but never in one-on-one situations.

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! 😄

Mag's brought Asteroid M up into space, but it's in orbit right? I don't think Mags held it up there that whole time.

Magneto wins, by the way...arguments are going well enough so I won't bother.

Asteroid M wouldn't be able to maintain a geosynchronous orbit on its own. It would be drawn by Earth's gravity and come crashing to earth like any other asteroid that got that close. Magneto maintains the orbit under his own power.

If Magneto just took them, he would probably pierce any asteroid while he's in his shield. Like if you step on a nail.

Ouch.

I believe Magneto pulled Asteroid M into earth's orbit from deep space.

He has to be supporting it. Otherwise, gravity would pull the asteroid to earth. Besides, in the one comic the narration says Asteroid M is suspended by "the will of one man."

Great minds think alike. 😉

Why, thank you. 😉

I'm not saying it's not an incredible feat to keep an astroid in orbit without flinching but it's probably easier than it sounds. I mean... it's not like he's holding it up, he's just pushing it. Making sure it's at the right speed to maintain orbit. But still, a massive amount of power.

For an incredible feat, try Avalon, which is a repurposed Ship that Magneto took from Cable. It's even larger than Asteroid M and Magneto was able to lift it from Earth into orbit under his own power.

Yeah but ya know if Magneto somehow opened that aura up Superman still has a super dense body.

is that why electricity affects his shield?

Superman.
U are all not thinking of his full powers. u focus on the aura so much that u don't think to consied the time it will take to turn off the aura leaving him vulnerable long enough to get knocked out

I don't know Magneto could affect Superman's Aura. You suggest his energy is part of the em spectrum. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I suggest Supes aura manipulates subatomic particles and is in fact working at a deeper level than the Em spectrum. This is based on supes mental (psionic) control of it. Psions are theoretical subatomic particles that interact with reality and can be controlled consciously by the power of will. I suspect Supes aura is more Esoteric than Electromagnetic.

How could people even think that supe vs mags would be like hulk vs mags?
Supe is more intellinget,faster,stronger has heat ray vision etc. Hulk is just a hot head green brut idiot(in comparison not in general he is probably the strongest marvel hero)
Supe could break any forcefeild that mags could put up

Magneto would have to try hard to win, but I think supes has the greatest chance.
