What? So Hal loses to Polaris fair and square and it's PIS, but then Polaris, who isn't paying the slightest bit of attention to Hal, gets overloaded and THAT'S accurate? C'mon now!
Boo-hoo. Wah-Wah. So he survived a Nazi Camp. So what? Hal was once forced to watch Sinestro murder several entire solar systems that killed billions upon billions of lifes. Hal's life is FAR more shi**y than Mags.
Did Hal have a personal connection to those lives? No...so it has nothing to do with willpower. Invalid point. Magneto KNEW those hundreds of people. They were friends, family. He was left for dead and WILLED himself to life and out of the pits, surrounded by the rotting flesh of everybody he's ever loved. It's not a contest of who had the shitter life, it's a contest of who has the will to overcome it. Magneto OVERCAME that kind of trauma being right in his face. It's easy to overcome the destruction of star systems you don't know - it's all abstract.
Now when Hal's city was destroyed, he snapped and became corrupted by Parallax. That's not a very will powered thing to do.
Resisted Psylocke? So what? Hal resisted Krona's mental manipulation that dominated one entire splinter universe of the multiverse. Not to mention Hector Hammond who makes Psylocke and Xavier look like a autist.
magneto resisted the combined might of Xavier and Phoenix, and he willed himself to fight off the Phoenix Force's mental attack, which had just previously obliterated Firelord easily.
Wasn't Hal Spectre at the time of Krona?
Through sheer willpower, Hal survived nearly two years of mental and physical torture at the hands of the Manhunters....and STILL wouldn't tell them where the Guardians were.
Magneto, as a child, endured FIVE years of mental and physical torture and never gave up and never revealed the location of the rest of his family (they found them anyway).
Hal fought the influence of the Parallax demon chewing on his soul for the entire duration of his life.
Fighting and winning are two different things. He lost Coast City, he lost the fight with Parallax. He got weak and gave in.
Hal mentally fought the Guardians from preventing him from using the Oan Core. That's nearly a THOUSAND uber-telepaths that make Xavier and Shadow King look like children.
He was being powered by Parallax by then and had, like, a million GL rings.
