i think that can b argued loki is prob gonna win but barely i think maybe 4/10 for mags well written gives mags the win

4 out of 10 wins is honestly too much for Mags.

really? hows loki damaging mags? hes getting thru this shields hes not his brother

spells are different animals. hard to say what kind of effect mags shields would have against loki. he wouldn't be blasting through them, but he might be able to by-pass them some other way. given some of his feats, i think mags could beat loki, but i'd say on average loki would take him for a solid majority.

Loki's a bad matchup for Magneto. I think Erik would fair far better against someone like Thor, Hulk, Superman etc. than he would against someone like Surfer, Loki etc.

^yeah, i agree with you. tbf, it's a little hard to say just how eric's powerset would match up to loki though since there really isn't any examples of him tackling a high level magician to really base a predicted outcome on. still, on the surface, i agree with you.

I really don't know how Magneto could counter Loki's magic. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if Loki could just straight up depower his X-gene based on how he created that mutant telepath.

well, it would a little on how loki went about things imo. blasts wouldn't work. i don't think tp would work. he could try what you said, but could he do that through mag's shield? not so sure. maybe though. i think his best bet (and what he'd do in a comic) would be to fool mags with tricks and illusions to get him to drop his shields. at that point he could take him out pretty easily. he could also likely bfr mags if that were allowed.

i think mags could definitely hurt loki though with blasting. asgardians also bleed so there is the old blood trick. mags has shown some very solid exotic energy control as well and given the nature of his powers (ability to control bonding at the molecular level) i'm not even 100% sure intangibility would stop mags from harming loki (see bullet feat). i think it could be an interesting battle if this is mags at the height of his power. that said, i still think the better case can be made for loki, no doubt.

i guess my initial post was basically saying mags can take fights solo so the xmen win the forum battle against loki thats all i def think mags puts up a hell of a fight he is a little outmatched he could potentially get out smarted

Loki's soloed the X-Men also. And who would be outmatched, Loki or Magneto? The phrasing of your sentence is a little confusing.

Remember the time when Darwin "killed" Hela?

she wasnt jobbed, omega mutants are just being written to match their hype, finally. mutants are the seeds celestials sowed to originate future abstracts after all. he didnt kill her either, he became a death god and acquired instinctive knowledge of her dumb cowl weakness.

And yet when confronted with Hulk of all people his powers thought the best way to adapt was to be far away. Psh.
the crystal wasnt attacking him, he adapted to its environment to get chuck, his powers simply follow the easiest way out, but he couldn't self-bfr when dealing with hella because she prevented teleportation with a spell. this forced his response into a more pro-active direction.

sorry about that mags is outmatched he loses 1 on 1 but with the xmen i think they take a majority from loki

Not a position I'd take, but a position I can certainly respect.

i agree that it would be a solid and entertaining fight. 👆 still not sure about the majority though. loki can certainly win, but i think a case could be made for the xmen as well. it would be interesting to see emma confront loki. the verbal sparring between them alone would be worth the price of admission. she could also help counter his illusions, bobby could add some additional protection, etc... they can def get some wins, imo, but i still might go with a slight overall edge to loki. he's a tricky phukcer.

in a tp battle, it's a lot easier i think to make a case for emma based on sheer volume of feats. loki def HAS some strong tp though--he can hypnotize people very quickly, and has shown some long range tp as well. not sure what his single best tp feat might be--rage or odg might have something more there off-hand. me, i'd need to look it up and....that's not gonna happen my friend. 🙂 loki might have greater scope of power (maybe) but i'd be hard-pressed to say he's more skilled than she would be (though logic might say he should be) and more hard-pressed to prove it. she'd def come in handy in this battle.

I've seen Enchantress no-sell and laugh at Xavier. Loki also used his magic to augment Sandu to the most powerful mutant -telepath- on the planet. Emma would probably be outmatched trying to play tricks on Loki.

Magneto's shield has been shown to stop various forms of physical energy but keeping Loki out? I think it would be a challenge directly:
He has easily gotten through Galactus' barrier for example, his Astral Form alone almost easily broke Strange's Eye of Agamatto barrier, he even reversed the polarity of Sue Storm's force field:

And how would Magnus keep Loki's magic out? Usually I'd support Magneto's defenses but he faces a being even more plot device like powers here.
