What I'd love, is if someone who supports Storm actually responded to my post here... At least I think I have made some decent points.

Well the fallacy is, you assume that a nuclear attack has a comparable affect as a psionically controlled, concentrated suction vortex dropping driectly ontop of Magneto's head before he could do anything to counter it.
You are 100% correct. Nobody knows the power of the nuclear bombs nor is there an empirical measure of the force of the winds that Storm used in that feat.
You can choose, do we:
1) throw out both feats for lack of knowledge
2) look at them in regards to:
a) other on panel showings regarding said abilities
b) comparisons between wind and nuclear bombs in the real world
In any of these options, the answer does not become Storm beats Magneto, and more specifically, it does not become Storm beats Hulk.
If there is another option, please inform me of it.

Second, you should take those attacks from the likes of Galctus, Thor, and Phoenix with a grain of salt since those people are LEAPS and BOUNDS above Magneto's level. Is it really plausible that he could take attacks from GODS???
Again, you DO have a point. Phoenix, Thor and Galactus should take a solid majority against Magneto. Thor might only be 7/10 due to how powerful Magneto really is, but using his powers to the fullest, Thor should have no issues whatsoever.
However, Magneto's shield surviving the attacks of these people has nothing to do with how well magneto will fare against these opponents. In fact, the three people you have selected would be using their powers ineffectively to attack magneto in a way that allows his shields to block them.

The answer on KMC would be, "it's on Panel". Well, Storm almost KILLING Mags is "on Panel" too. 😱
Correct. No matter how outlandish it seems, Magneto's shield holding up against considerably more powerful opponents is a common trend of his shielding.
And yes, Storm almost killing mags is on panel too. I explained IN DETAIL how this would be assessed on these boards on page 11. You didn't read it there, so I wont post it here for you to ignore again.
Needless to say, the answer is in the frequency. Magneto's shields are as powerful as they are because they are consistently shown to be that powerful, not because it makes sense. If Storm were to be able to destroy them, She would need to consistently show that she is able to output the damage necessary to destroy them. Since this has been seen once, and in every other showing, Storm's attacks are much less powerful, we go with the most frequent showings, not the ones that prove the thesis we have.
For instance, my favorite character is Man-Thing. There is a comic where he kicks Dr. Strange's ass. This is so much PIS that it isn't even funny, but it is on panel. By the logic you are proposing, it is valid to say that Man-Thing can beat Strange, because it happened once. The logic that is accepted as valid on these forums (and imho the logic that makes sense in this type of debate) dictates that this feat is not acceptable, given that the Man-Thing has never been capable of defeating an opponent of that power and that Strange consistently deals with opponents way out of Man-Thing's league (I would argue that Strange might have trouble putting Man-Thing away for good, but that is irrelevant here).

What do you mean?
Everyone who has been answering you has no problem dealing with the supposed paradox you are proposing.
Yes, there are many places where comics will contradict themselves. In one issue, Kazaar puts his head against Man-Thing's chest to hear his heart beat, however, in other issues it is said that Man-Thing has no internal organs. Storm is able to destroy Magneto's shield where in other showings Magneto's shield is far more capable of withstanding damage.
Sure, if EVERY SINGLE THING that is EVER written in a comic HAS to be true, then in the above cases BOTH must be true.
Man-Thing must both have a recognizable heartbeat AND he must have no internal organs.
Do you understand? That is what you are saying. Man-thing has a heartbeat while not having a heart.
Since that is obviously ridiculous, there must be a different solution. This is frequency and average showings. Since it is much more often alluded that Man-Thing has no internal structure save all his swamp goo, it is proper to assume that the Kazaar incidence in PIS while the numerous other instances are true. If the new Man-Thing comic coming out says blatantly that Man-Thing has a heart and Steve Gerber was a chump, then fine, Man-Thing has a heart.
does this make sense?
