Who is the weakest character that can beat Magneto?

Debatable. He punked Mags' DC counterpart, Dr. Polaris, in the midst of Polaris wrecking an A-list JLA roster. He could pull out some wins, and is very underrated. Probably not a majority though.

Which begs the question: weakest that could conceivably beat him maybe 1/10? Or weakest that would take a majority off of Mags? I'd say someone like Iron Man for the former, or some similarly high-end High Meta. Because many high metas could pull out a win or two (Mandarin, Northstar, Nimrod, etc.) but not a majority.

For the latter you need to go toward the low heralds...Hawksmoor in a city, Plastic Man maybe, maybe Ronan or a low-end GL, etc. etc.

Aquarian

Leech maybe? Well, Leech with a gun.

My opening post states that this is for the majority.

I was wondering if there was maybe a silver bullet who can defeat Mags by himself by having an ability that is effective against him.

Dr. Light. Invisible Woman.Iron Man with Prep. Raven. Jay Garrick.

Can IW beat Magneto?

Mags could just as easily kill her and would be more apt to do it than she would to him.

Dr.Light and Invisible Woman would lose a hard majority to Magneto, considering his control over the electromagnetic spectrum (Including visible light) is much greater than theirs. He has their powers + many others.

Magneto has seen IW while she was "invisible" because he sees the entire EM spectrum. No problem to see and control the distortions she creates. (He also sees teleporters in a similar way since teleporting causes EM disturbances. He knows where Nightcrawler, for example, will turn up before he gets there)

Iron Man... ehh, I've seen 70 year-old Magneto minus the power-ups he's had since then take on Iron Man easily. More recently Iron Man has had prep but still lost. (He added a funciton that allowed his suit to switch polarity. Which worked at first... but Magneto adapted quickly and overcame his suit.)

Not as familiar with Raven or Jay Garrick to judge them, though.

Jay should be able to blitz him, although admittedly that's true for any lesser speedster up to a point.

Well, Dr. Light has been able to control a Gl's energy. I don't see Mags doing that. So I think they are pretty even. And IW's powers just give her the ability to kll him much quicker than i would guess he could kill her.

Interesting, I didn't know that about Dr.Light. Maybe I underestimate him.

IW, however, I'm still not convinced about. The point I was trying to make was that his greater control over the EM spectrum and visible light would make her be unable to use her powers. In theory I would see her try to create a bubble in his brain or some such thing and he'd stop it before the light "came together" to cause any harm. There's a scan in the Mangeto Respect thread that shows he thinks roughly 15x faster than a normal human, which is why i think he'd be able to do this so effectively.

Speaking of his quick mind, his reaction time is also impressive. I've seen scans of him grabbing Northstar in midair and even his own son, Quicksilver. So the post a bit above about speedsters and blitzing.. I have my doubts.

Mags can't control hyperspacial energy, therfore he could not stop a bubble in his brain.

IW would win.

Are you sure? Magneto specialized in EM energy, but was shown to be able to control all energy. In the Marvel Universe Einstein's theory about all energy being connected is true (I forgot what it was called. =/) and Magneto's power is to "control the EM spectrum and all related energy." Heat, nuclear, etc.. off the top of my head he has used those energies, which most people think he's incapable of. I'm still not sure she'd get by his fine control.

Hyperspacial energy doesn't appear here.

Not only can he one shot her, but he has reaction time many times greater than hers.

Despite popular belief Dr. Light would rip Mags a new one, I don't see him surviving a speedblitz at lightspeed. Not to mention that if Mags can control the EM Spectrum so can Dr. Light:

But honestly, I refuse to believe this is the "weakest" character that can take out Mags...Ain't we looking for someone LESS powerful than Magneto?

(Response to 2damnloud.. this thread is moving fast. =P)

It doesn't, no. =) But I'm saying Magneto controls all energy, not just the EM spectrum. I'm not saying he's quite as good with other types as he is with EM, but he does do it. As an energy manipulator he is not vulnerable to energy... unless it's too much. Silver Surfer comes to mind as being able to overwhelm Magneto's vast energy control.

You might want to check out the Magneto Respect Thread.. just because it's so interesting what his powers can do. It made me go "Wow".

Eternity, maybe Galactus.

Really, probably Doom.
