Team Tournament Information and Discussion Thread

Dont worry, Ill handle debating them from now on....

Ok, cool. And none of that silliness during prep either, though I think we've covered that by now.

yea yea yea......Ive still got a few tricks up my sleave 😖hifty:

Am I supposed to ask questions (if I have them) about character abilities here or in the actual battle threads?

here I guess (or you could just PM them)....less clutter on the battle threads.

If the electromagnetic forcefield passively prevents the passage of light then why can people see Magneto in his forcefield?

In what way does Shaman mute people and would it actually do anything to prevent Blackbolt using his quasi-sonic scream?

That question and others will be addressed in our next post. 🙂

Also are there any scans of Spartan actually being able to teleport things directly into people?

I hope this clears out some things...

Magneto can choose what gets through his forcefield and what does. For example, one time his forcefield was just set to deflect physical attacks in his hurry, but an energy being got through. In the scan I showed, he extended his control over electromagnetism to deflect photons with it. it's under his choice.

Magneto has used his electromagnetic abilities to deflect light from himself in past, like in this scan, where the eyesight of those people (and other senses) can't notice him.

And in this tourney, nothing will get through the forcefield. Not even photons.

Magneto can use his magnetic sensory abilities to know whats going on.

Honestly, we haven't showed even half the shit Magneto can do.

How does he breathe 😕

I probably should have highlighted the word "passively". He is for the most part visible to the exterior.

And I second the "how does he breathe?"

DC I've never seen him create matter out of the vacuum of space... 🤨

apparently he 'allows' air through. but there is evidence coming up that he can NOT control everything that enters or exits his shield.

dc inadvertently however, supported our case: (which i'll address here since the point was raised here)

<<Magneto can choose what gets through his forcefield and what does. For example, one time his forcefield was just set to deflect physical attacks in his hurry, but an energy being got through.

i'll buy this. since the photon IS the smallest increment of matter that has any relation to the em field . . . 😖hifty: it's utterly understandable that he could affect even photons. after all, he CONTROLS the em force, and as i showed, PHOTONS are the messengers of the em force. so he could naturally control the messengers and TELL them what messages to carry. simple and understandable.

however . . . dc's other point is the important one:

<<Magneto can choose what gets through his forcefield and what does[n't]>> (slight grammar fix)

now when he came into the battle, he had already implicitly CHOSEN to allow visible light into his shield. how do we know? he never said he was invisible (stopping visible light) and never stated he couldn't see or was using the em field to sense things rather than his normal vision. both would have been GREAT ideas. howvere, these things were never mentioned or activated in battle so he sees the flash -- that easy. and by the time he sees it, it is too late because he could not adjust his shield AFTER he saw it. that's a paradox and an obvious impossiblity.

end result -- magneto is blind.

True vacuum is just theoretical. Space is never fully empty.

I am Magneto...and I can breathe in space. (You get the joke if you have read Shortpacked)

Made a post, complete with nifty scans for da people to look through.

The same way he has done thus far, I guess. He's been in space many times before inside his forcefield. Seeing as he can manipulate stuff on molecular level, it isn't that hard for him to create oxygen...

🤨

the explanation is simple -- he traps air in his shield that he uses to breathe. he doesn't 'create' oxygen . . . 😑

There will be a scan addressing a similar point in our next post as well. 🙂

My prep post included this:

"Magneto is now shielded from any imaginable physical assault, and he is also shielded from any imaginable psychic assault."

(Physical assaults include energy)

Magneto put every possible shielding on he can. That includes the photon stopping shield he has shown in past. Since he can choose what comes in and what doesn't...and seeing as he's been blinded once when he did not have his shield at all, it would be stupid to let the same attack work again.
