Well, that's all I wanted to say.
But does it make any difference? Or take away from the fact that in an actual fight he can use is powers to increase his durability and strength by storing energy in his cells?
Question? A little off topic though and is obviously not needed in this particular thread. I always wondered this. You know how the Human Torch and Iceman are always battle ready when they participate in a fight.(i.e. Iced up or Fired up). Well wouldn't battle ready mean Magneto always comes into a fight with EM Energy stored in his cells and with a shield up? Since that's how he's normally portrayed at the beginning of a fight.

Magneto on the other hand has a wide range of different powers. We don't know what he has up his sleeve.
- Ask ten writers to write a fight between Johnny and Bobby, and they'll all start with their ice or fire forms.
- Ask ten writers to write a fight that has Magneto in it, and everybody will do something different : Magneto creates a vulcano, he erects a force field, he starts controlling the iron in the blood, he throws iron objects at his enemies, he creates a black hole...
Doesn't matter though. I still stand by what I said : Magneto wins of course, but when his shields aren't up, the trio has a slight chance to speed blitz him. Or web his face up (a truck load of webbing can do wonders against the most powerful enemy). They only need a second to do that.

Hmm... HT and Iceman (classic Iceman that is) are a bit of one trick pony's : nobody takes Johnny Storm or Bobby Drake serious without their powers. So everybody assumes they will be in their fire or ice form when fighting. They don't have a choice, it's their only power.Magneto on the other hand has a wide range of different powers.

I suppose....as for that last bit...I'm not sure if they could actually speedblitz him before he could BFR or...kill them. His reflexes are accelerated at 1450% that of a human being.(See the last page of the Magneto Respect Thread under Batdudes sig). Which has allowed him to snatch a speeding Northstar out of the air with his bare hands.(Not sure if we still consider that PIS since it's now been established that he has super thought processing/reflexes).
I'll dig through the respect thread for you:

It says he thinks 14 times faster than a normal human. It doesn't say anything about speed or reflexes. I figure it allows him to delegate his time and actions waaay more effectively.
Maybe but it does say "Electrolyte throughout nervous system enhanced by high blood count(1450% above normal) in subjects blood supply." Wouldn't super conduction in the nervous system and accelerated synaptic sparking also mean enhanced reflexes?
