Yes, because up until now there hasn't really been any strong evidence to suggest Henshaw is even close to Magneto's knowledge of magnetism, neither logical or feat-based. That may change, which is why I said I'm looking forward to his reply.

I think the kicker in that department, like you already said, is his creation of wormholes pre-HoM. That's a damn outstanding feat with purely EM control.

Yeah, it's his highest feat.
It's really pissing me off that I don't have the comics where they come to confront Henshaw in the engine city at hand, so I can verify the 'Henshaw impressing Steel with magnetism aplications' statement though.

It's been a long time since I read that, so I can't really remember off-hand the comments Steel made. Issue number or scans ? Not that I see the relevance of how this proves that Henshaw knows far more about magnetism that Magneto, though.
It's when he 1st battles steel in the heart of Engine city. He describes that the process that powers engine city is a magnetic process that he created that is far beyond earth science. Mags is great with his powers, but against someone who actually understands how the EM spectrum works on levels that Mags can't even comprehend...I don't see it as a problem.
With earth science, Doom has been able to pwn Mags by simply changing the polarity in his own armor...something Henshaw can do with ease since he has complete molecular control over his own body.
My scans also showed how easily he can negate Mags own energy fields...like he did to Superman blue. Blue has tried to directly "disrupt" Henshaw...and that attack failed...and Blue knows ALL about EMP's.

That sounds about right. I'm not going to search through my collection of comics just to scan it, or pull out my backup drive for a search but I'm fairly certain it can be downloaded or someone has it.

Steel can't even begin to understand Henshaws fusion process that creates the magnetic fields that Henshaw can. Steel obviously knows how Magnestism works (as he speaks with Henshaw) and is one of the top minds of the DCU.

You're right. Henshaw is smarter than Doom. Not as crafty, but definitely smarter in the sciences. Why would Henshaw need prep time when he can disable the fields around Mags, or change his polarity on the fly ASSUMING that his cybernetic parts are even magnetic or controllable?
