Storm Vs. Magneto [with a catch]

This is not a pure fight;

this is to see who is the top Earth based living engine of mass destruction on Marvel Earth:

Magneto: The Master of Magnetism

or

Storm: Mistress of the Elements

Here are the rules:

Each contestant has 1 week to wreak havoc on the planet causing as much destruction as possible.

Storm can't use any Claremont-ism's like manipulating the sun to cause the Earth to over heat or somehow pulling a solar flare out of no where. She can only use actual weather effects.

Magneto can not effect the polarity of the planet, simply effect the bonds in the atoms of elements on the planet causing the planet to fall apart, emit high levels of radioactivity and x-rays to char the surface of the planet, or create an immense black hole that destroys the Earth.

For the sake of this battle, Magneto is limited to his classic powers:

control over magnetism, manipulation of metal and other ferrous materials, the emission of magnetic pulses, and the ability to augment gravity for flight and to move large objects.

No wormholes, or other science based extrapolations of his control over the electro-magnetic spectrum (though he is capable of them based on his powers). (Sorry demi).

Both are going for surface damage (destroying buildings, cars, houses, stadiums, killing people, etc).

Neither can simply attack a nuclear facility and set off a large explosion.

Damage must be caused by use of their powers on the surface environment.

Both combatants are on kick, and will not tire for a full week.

Who wins?

Discuss.

Magneto can set off every bomb in the world off...he wins

You took away a bunch of his powers!

Still, he could uproot every pipe, beam, and... pipe... and fashion a big scraper and just plow everything down. He'll be giving Earth a shave.

Or he could make a giant balls of it and send it into orbit and let it fall back to the ground.

The only other addition I really had that is now outlawed was setting off gas mains with lasers and boiling the seas.

I had to power him down to make it fair. The possible applications for Magneto's full range of powers makes this very lopsided. He still has a wide range of attacks that he can pull off using magnetism alone.

It's when the arguments that he forms blackholes in London and quantam singularities in Bombay and Tokyo that I have to draw a line.

I'll allow lasers from Magneto. Storm has lightning (though technically so does Magneto).

no1 can stand up to magneto he's to sexy

You said it right in your first post. He can break apart the planet. This isn't much of a contest.

I'd imagine he'd just pull down a ferrous asteroid into the Earth.

mags can f up stuff real good. He wouldnt stop at just one asteriod either several would be brought.

or he would manipulate the metal that lies deep in the Earth's core.

Storm can blow down your mailbox though.

Hehe, I jest, she can cause a lot of property damage but Magneto's powers have better applications for literal planet destroying.

Yea. Seriously. Magneto just rips the planet into teensy pieces.

hell mags has always threatened to stop the earths rotation...he has never followed through on it, but that is not due to lack of power

I'm still all for shaving the planet down.

Considering the limits placed by the threadmaker a lot of these scenarios are null and void. I dont think Magneto can win here given he's limited to energy blasts and manipulating the metals found in structures on the SURFACE environment i believe Storm wins. Yeah he can throw around cars uproot buildings and take them apart by manipukating the metal in them, but Storm could just devastate the place with hurricanes. Simple.

Droping homemade meteors from the sky is surface damage.

Given that none of them tire in this week i believe Storms power can cause destruction over a wider range than Mags. One need only look at recent issues of Uncanny to see why. Magneto has to manipuate metal to tear the surface environment apart and bash it down. Storm plows it down with hurricanes and lightning.

That doesn't sound nearly as good as shaving the planet down.

A large ferrous asteroid... tidal waves, dust cloud blocking the sun, mass extinction etc.

Doesnt sound as good but thats irrelevant it would take time to manipulate a mass of metal big enough and then be ploughing it around the planet. Storm destroys the place with a hyperstorm. One of which can cover the size of the entire eastern coast of the U.S.

I mean it doesn't sound as good as in not as damaging. Homemade meteors would wreck the place.
