you dont understand. all the electromagnetism in the universe cannot seperate our atoms. ie. split an atomic nucleus! even the heaviest of all atomic nucleui in the universe generate more neutrons in order to dilute ANY and ALL opposing forces! now, electromagnetism can seperate atom ONLY if the protons ARE NOT touching. but if they are touching: there is nothing that can seperate it EXCEPT AND ONLY nuclear forcer ie.: the Strong Force.In fact upon further research, when electromagnetism is concentrated to a sub atomic force, it actually dissapates and merges with the weak force (radiation). and we all know magneto cannot in fact control radiation. which would lead us to believe he cannot even in fact control magnetism AT ALL on a sub atomic level WHATSOEVER! he can in fact according to marvel manipulate his power in a molecular level...ie oxegen, iron etc ect ect...
Err, you might want to check your sources again. Click the link I posted, it says clearly that he CAN control radiation, to a lesser degree of course, but he still can.
Magneto doesn't have to split an atom(besides, that would create a MASSIVE release of energy, killing himself in the process). Have you ever ripped a peice of paper? Scratched someone by accident, and broken their skin? Yes, that's you breaking the bonds between atoms. Not so difficult, is it? And you think Magneto cannot do this with his powers?
