I already mentioned this before...

A. When he shielded himself from Dazzler's light blast, and then redirected her photons back at her.
That doesn't, however, mean that he'd be able to cut Superman off from the sun.

Yeah, but not to that degree, and even then, Superman's got days worth of energy supply already in his body. Even if Magneto were somehow capable of cutting him off, it wouldn't do him any good, unless he thought he could somehow last the next few days.
I know that Superman's stores of energy are immense. I never said otherwise. I was just commenting on the fact that Magneto it is feasible Magneto could cut him off from absorbing more Solar energy.
I never said he would win by doing so.
Could Magneto drain him to win? I don't know but the Triumph fight comes to mind. Wasn't his powers based electromagnetic manipulation and wasn't he able to bring Superman to his knees through energy siphoning? Just food for thought.

I didn't read through the entire thread.
It would more concentration than normal but couldn't he keep photons/light from directly reaching Superman and effectively cutting him off from the source? I'm not sure.

Meh, the fight takes place inside a building, so this point is rather moot.
BUT, say they were fighting outside; since it's hard enough for Magneto to directly manipulate em radiation, I doubt he'd be able to affect an entire area by cutting of it's exposure to sunlight.
At the very least, he wouldn't be able to do it while trying to fight off Superman at the same time.

Well, their was lighting in the area.
He does have some degree of difficulty but that's about it if I recall. It's feasible that he could blanket the area, and block out the photon/light and so on.
Magneto has always impressed me with his multitasking ability.
Just throwing it out as a possibility. Magneto isn't winning by doing this in a fight.

Direct manipulation of EM radiation is an extreme rarity for Magneto. He doesn't even know that Superman is powered by the sun, anyway.
I highly doubt Magneto would be able to black out an entire city/town/etc from the sun. Especially not while fighting Superman at the same time. It's not like he's up against the X-Men here. 😬
I know Mags isn't winning by this method, but I still don't see it occurring.

Meh, just throwing it out there. If Magneto goes down the draining route if it's possible, the next step would be to blanket not necessarily the area, but just Superman from the Sun.

I don't know how he'd do that, considering Superman's speed and maneuverability. That's why I made the reasonable leap that Mags would try to blanket the area.

I meant, if Magneto went down the absorbing route, meaning he could try something along the lines of what Triumph did someone who also has electromagnetic powers, the next step would be to blanket Superman directly while draining him, as then he would not be able to recharge. If Magneto could drain him I mean. It is common knowledge Superman gets his powers from the Sun.
I cant even believe you all are debating if mags can beat superman when we have on panel proof of doctor poloris taking his bio forcefield away from him then blinding him. Doctor poloris could have killed him at any time.
Then we also have doctor poloris hitting superman with a sub at incredible speed knocking him out.
Magneto>>doctor poloris.
Mags is a team buster, it shouldnt even be debated if he can kill supes because he can.
Mags without colossus power 8/10
