One of the few instances where demi is right. Magneto was weaker until the end, using Apocalypses tech as makeshift armor and ripping him in half.
Apoc's tech? I hope you're not trying to say that it enhanced Magneto's abilities, hahaha. He took a bunch of scrap metal laying around and covered himself up with it (which is what you'd expect from the master of magnetism).
So Magneto at less than half power tore Apocalypse apart. You can't refute that...it's fact.

Actually, you don't know that. It's never been stated but it's probably the same power levels as 616. After all, it's the same universe, just that Xavier got killed in this one.
Wrong.
Let's go over some X-men history 101.
magneto started out an old holocaust survivor - he was a pretty old man. That's what we refer to as "Classic" Magneto.
Classic Magneto was an old man, and as such, didn't have a lot of power at his disposal, because he was way past his prime. He stayed that way until Defenders, when he was turned into a baby by Alpha the Ultimate Mutant. He disappeared for years.
He later resurfaced when he was restored by Erik the Red to his prime...meaning he was restored to a man in his early 30s. As a result, he was more powerful than he ever was before, as he effortlessly beat the stuffing out of the X-men...including the Phoenix.
A decade or so later, he was caught in an explosion on Asteroid M, but was saved by the Acolyte Chrome, who converted him to metal to help him survive. Unwittingly, that transformation increased his sensitivity to electromagnetic energy to a far greater degree than ever, making him even MORE powerful than he was before - so much so that he was able to disable the X-men, X-force, X-factor, Generation X, etc. all at the same time WHILE blocking the telepathy of both Xavier and Jean Grey AND holding a massive space station 10 miles wide aloft ALL AT THE SAME TIME (beat that, Apoc!).
He later blacked out the entire planet with an electromagnetic pulse, overriding planetary shields designed to prevent the use of his powers.
Now, let's go backwards 20 years, when AOA started.
Magneto was never turned into chrome to increase his sensitivity to the EM field.
Magneto was never de-aged and restored to his prime.
Magneto in AOA was "Classic Magneto", at his classic levels.
And then on top of that, he lost half of THAT power.
So yes, there's very clear evidence that 616 Magneto is a lot more powerful than AOA Magneto. 616 Magneto is the most powerful Magneto in Marvel (aside from X-men: The End Magneto).
And yet AOA Magneto still killed Apocalypse.
Apoc is WAAAAY over his head here.
