It kind of shows the threat level of Magneto on account of he is an Avengers and Fantastic Four villain.
He's not as powerful as Storm as we know he can't alter that much of the ecosystem. Do you see how much stronger Storm is? For her to alter weather over a continent (which she has done at least twice) or a hemisphere, she is not only controlling EM fields, but even other forces like moisture, pressure gradients etc on that scale that Magneto has no control over at all.
I'm not talking about Magneto controlling the weather. I'm talking about the power involved in the other absurd things like lifting 50 thousand ton submarines and screwing with atoms.
Blah blah Magneto Wars blah blah.
Did Magneto have a really mediocre run in Magneto Wars? Either you or 2cloud, or both, love basing things off single showings and it would explain why you keep referencing a single arc in his 40+ span.
Magneto is powerful. I will give him his due there, but Ororo is much moreso. He's just not in her category is all. I will go even further and state that if Storm were not on the X-Men or a Phoenix-possessed Jean Grey, Magneto could realistically have a 50/50 shot in taking down the team in open combat without any of the characters being written down or any enhanced reaction brought to bear on Magneto's part.
Magneto's powers are simply so fast and deadly that I'd give him almost all the win points with Storm on the team. We're talking meteors and volcanoes and stuff. I agree that Phoenix would be too much though.
The caption does mention that the EM fields were skewered. It may be other pages in the issue, but Forge did create the machine.
I see that. I see that the Earth's magnetic field is skewed in such a way that it would backfire on Magneto, but I don't see anything about it causing a reaction that causes an EMP.
Oh well, I'm sure there are others. Or other feats that trump a global EMP.[/quote]

Actually, it is now in the official handbook that Storm can do this.
You claimed she controlled the full power of each and every one of these stars. Clearly, at best, she's getting Superman-esque boost from the sun's rays. This example shows perfectly what I mean about Storm's power being at a medium level, but exceedingly intricate. Somewhat like Iceman manipulates the "cold", and by extension the heat, but far more skilled and far less extreme.

You think Magneto cares about the ozone? He'll construct a machine that emits a global forcefield in his sleep if he needs to. Thing is, Galactus flies around exterminating entire races. He doesn't do it to be malicious, he just needs to survive. If Storm can "easily" manipulate millions of suns she can spare billions of lives by providing Galactus with the energy he needs to live. No, Storm does not care. She needs to dazzle an obese man and a guy that jumps around like a frog.
Has magneto even made clothes out of NOTHING by munipulating the atom in the air??? Well, I guess that measn he doesn;t have complete control over the EM spectrum then 🙄
Such BS sometimes
😖mart
No, but he made a comb. That gets funny points from me for being such an abuse of awesome powers. I don't know if he's done it more than once though so I wouldn't hump it as hard as you are the clothes thing. I'm not a huge fan of one shot moves. Hence why I don't bring up the wormhole thing.
