I don't see brute force beating Magneto when it hasn't in the past. I think that they can win but it will be with everyone else distracting Magneto while Cyborg hides for enough away and and make some type of magnetic field dampener so they can get pass his force field.
Each line of argument that you've made re: Magneto v Flash or Magneto v Superman shows, at best, that Magneto could theoretically harm either of them. And nobody is going to disagree with that. But I said Magneto would be
helpless against them, which he would be.
Magneto just doesn't have the track record to show that he can reliably defend against speedsters of that caliber, who can bypass his shields.
Flash and Superman both have the feats to show that they can bypass his shields, and are both beyond the speed of anybody that Magneto has ever(?) gone up against.
Conversely, your argument that "I don't see brute force beating Magneto when it hasn't in the past" is just a no limits fallacy. Are you saying that no fist, however strong, can knock Magneto the f*ck out?
If not, what's the threshold? I guess you think it's somewhere past Superman, or an IMP. We know that brute force *can* get through Magneto's shields -- you could argue that those appearances aren't from *peak Magneto*, but if so, how much stronger are these shields? I'd wager not strong enough to withstand Superman.
Flash or Superman win 1-on-1, and a team setting makes this a stomp.
That said, I do tend to think that ~peak Magneto~ could take the other four (WW, Cyborg, Aquaman, Batman) if he started with shields up.
