INB4 I get bullied.

Quiet.

Dazzler put up an illusion herself and then disappeared to take xavier's place. It was explicitly stated that he didn't manipulate her lights.

when did she cast the illusion? before or after the attack he redirected? even if it was before, wasn't the attack real? I'll redownlaod the comic and take another look at it.

I'm suggesting "he is fighting in character" which means, he is holding back just like every other hero high Herald does.

Magneto have the fts of being in the high herald class.

Given that magneto doesn't fights with his shield on most of the time, I've a hard time seeing him remain conscious for long.

With all the power Magnetoa has, I've always wondered why he doesn't just create an armor made out of adamantium or, at the very least, vibranium. He could also use them as weapons if need be.

But in this thread he shields are already up so.

👆

even without exotic metals, his uniform is supposed to be a flexible alloy whose coherence and ellasticity are adjusted reflexively by his power, but even that is often forgotten by writers: wooden arrows have pierce his armor.

I just find it silly, s'all. Half the time, he just uses readily available metal in the environment. If he was packing adamantium weapon/armor, he would be pretty damned near unstoppable.

which is why he doesnt do it. what's actually more absurd is that those metals can be found commercially on marvel earth. they're not even that rare.

I know that, for story reasons, they wouldn't want an unstoppable mostly-villain character. But it just seems like SUCH a no-brainer. S'prolly why I never liked Magneto as a character, for all the brilliance in his characterization, he's just seemed to have missed a HUGE no-brainer. Everytime I see im in a comic, I go, whyyyy??

could be arrogance? maybe thats his "flaw" he doesnt think he needs it

That's how I justify it in my head, but it's still a bit much to swallow, IMO.

u prob already hit the nail on the head if he does that what stops him? like friggin nothing

he does actually, most of the time

Stips say "shields up", tho.

He starts the fight with shields up, which have a great track record in of themselves. To that end, Erik can readily hurt or stagger Superman easier than vice versa. Not to say Superman can't eventually overwhelm or tax him, though.

He doesn't start that way in most of his fights. Magneto's energy projection isn't sufficient to greatly hurt or stagger superman most of the time.

Which is a moot point as he starts the fight with shields up and Erik certainly can attack while being shielded at the same time. His energy projection is certainly up to the task of hurting Superman and because of the OP, Superman will be adversely effected by Magneto quicker than vice versa.
