In spite of more evidence that points to him being telepathically resistant and having a helmet that blocks all telepathy?
Nah.
Also, considering his brain works 15.5x that of a normal human, he'd get the first attack off in every fight.
Also Jean tricks him into thinking he's beaten Dazzler in those scans Batdude posted.

Average showings not highest showings. And that's why she gets 1.

Telepaths think and process a life time of information at incredible speeds. The Cuckoos are faster then that and Emma's never had a problem putting them in their place.

Exactly, 90% of the time he's resistant, the other 10% not so much. And at the moment under Fractions pen it's his helmet that is saving his ass not his natural resistance as demonstrated in the first issue of Nation X.

Not the same thing.

The Cuckoos and Kid Omega are much, much faster then Magneto. And Magneto has never used those abilities to demonstrate having a speed advantage over the X-Men during a fight on average. In fact the majority of the time they have no problem keeping up with him. I helped you make that Respect Thread remember?

Hey don't look at me, write to Fraction.

It's a lot of things:
Magneto is a powerful psychic/latent psychic.
Magneto has an indominable will.
Magneto has a natural resistance due to his electromagnetic powers.
Magneto has a helmet that protects him.
Depending on the writer he either has all of them, at least one of them or none of them.
It's just like his Forcefield. I'm glad Batdude hasn't read the latest issue of Cyclops Origins I haven't posted it in the Cyke respect thread on purpose.

Oh, was that you? Yes, of course I remember.
But when you start talking about how Emma could accomplish stuff like this...

Only a stupid writer would not acknowledge any of them since they are all well established.
Not the first one it's quite rare to get any writer referring to that, the second one doesn't mean much because everyone and their mother has an indominable will and they still get dominated. The third is forgetten about because of the Movie thing that brought in TP resistant helmet.

You are talking about the one instance I was referring to. In fact there's a HoM of M Quicksilver one too. On average he's not shown to have a speed advantage.
Oh and Northstar had a pretty bad day in Utopia/DA Exodus too. Dark Beast got him.

Nope, him being psychic has been forgotten about.
The other stuff is on and off again but more on then off which is why I said she could get 1 if that is taken into account.
As for natural resistance you have one issue saying he has it and in another Xavier can attack him just fine like UXM 515 or block him from using his powers in Eve of Destrucion (These are recent this decade btw). And in Morrisons run it was all about the helmet. And yes Xorn is retconned back to being Magneto now.
It's the very nature of the X-Books. Emma can use TP in Diamond then she can't. Jean is Phoenix then she isn't. Magneto is Xorn, then he isn't now he is. "tis why it's hard for people to get into reading the X-Men.
