I think the Class 100+ system should be replaced by something a little more precise. There's a massive difference between someone like Thing who's low Class 100 and someone like Superman who's in the quadrillion to sextillion ton range.
"Magneto can't fight if there's no metal around him". Lol?
Some of his suit is made of metal, and not only that, most opponents got iron in their very own blood! Some, like Wolverine (who is usually seen as more or less immortal) would be childplay for Magneto, even though there is no loose metal in the area. Also, Magneto can create electricity and magnetic forcefields (also expandable from inside his opponent's stomach), and to make it even more extreme, he can use his magnetic control to increase his own strenght to Hulk-like levels.
So... Even if there is no metal around, Magneto is still a beast.

The funny thing is, the old DC MEG scale actually represented the "comic book physics/feel" much better than the Marvel Class scale; a number of core DC writers actually consistantly used it as a referencing system throughout the late 80's and the 90's, with a degree of re-scaling and adjustments in the early 2000's references (like the one that had Superman scaled at an overall 35 strength -- in their scaling -- with Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman right behind at a mutual 33, giving Supes the advantage, but only marginally against either of them; the scaling represented the relatively "incalculable" ranges into the many millions+ tons, such as moving skyscrapers, mountains, etc...)

Yea, I agree, it was pretty nice.
