Mandarin versus Magneto

Well Mandarin's never encountered Northstar, but he has countered Quicksilver, and he's done it physically rather than with an AOE power.

true, but the instances I was refering to actually show mags's power activation speed as enough to stop them dead on their tracks while they were already in motion.

i love mandy but in general IM beats him. mags otoh has beat down all the xmen on multiple occasions. mags is a team buster, mandy isn't on that level i'm afraid. 😬

he's also easily countered speedsters like northstar and quicksilver as well. his reaction time is 15 times shorter than a baseline humans' (shown on panel) the fact hat he is ever caught mid battle outside of a force bubble is a manner of CIS/PIS.

The time he encountered Northstar was just silly. It was badly written as he even said QS is faster then Northstar but Northstar a second later goes escape velocity and at the time QS never even came close to half that speed

He isnt, based on his speed showings, I still think he is slower than mags. mags doesnt have auto-shields. so what? with pis off, raising them would be the first order of business as they are more than in-character, they are the most common use of his power and he is supposed to be a genius tactician. being caught by wolverine without them is PIS.

Whats up with the magneto wank?

Mandarin is being put up against a herald level character, he's gonna lose pretty hard.

Mandarin goes up against herald level characters all the time?

I'm not saying he is going to win. I'm just saying people aren't giving him enough credit.

I haven't seen anything of him recently so going by that I could be completely wrong.

He's not, he's more like Thing via Chi instead of being made of rock. Still, Magneto's blood-trick has, irrc, worked on high-end metas before. Despite his Chi-amped strength, Magneto may be able to just will him dead.

Probably Magneto.
