He's only being redeemed now that he's become drunk, chill Vulcan.

vulcan is def not more overrated than magneto

Magneto has earned his reputation.

Vulcan hasn't.

Every time I saw Vulcan appear in space I was like 'get down from there kid, you'll get hurt lol'.

vulcan haxx powerset means he will always be overrated in forum battles

magneto control metals and people pair him against freaking superman or thor, there's this guy called doctor polaris in dc who does the same thing and nobody gives a shit about him keep in mind he has feats on magneto caliber too.

Magneto controls electromagnetic energy. Phil never educated you?

He can do just about anything writers wish him to.

Annihilation Wave is overrated. tenebrous and aegis...

If anything Magneto is now underrated on the forums.

Magneto is who Dr Polaris wants to be when he grows up.

That's easy Starlord

This may be how Phildo returns to the forum.

So true, this is why people hate on Logan, Hulk, Superman, Batman sometimes even Cap. All Superheroes are walking plot devices but these guys to quote Wolverine and Cap "are the best and always find a way", no matter how silly the plot has to be or how far above their weight they have to punch.

i feel like you're right, and I do agree with you... but only to a point.

For some heroes, "digging deep" or "getting that second wind" is a superpower that puts them beyond their peers. Even in similar situations. Sure, everyone from Catwoman to Jubilee can have their hero moment of rising to fight a new, more challenging enemy or circumstance, but the elites, to me at least, all have a mode that goes beyond that. Call it stubbornness. Call it "powering through". Call if whatever you want, but you can find multiple instances of it being taken to extremes with certain characters that it never would with others.

He's haxx because in a pure physical slugfest where he gets to go first he can one shot. That's it. Or even if he doesn't go first, his HF will pull him through until he can one shot....but that still implies a physical slugfest.

Put him up against Ambrose Chase, or Midnighter with doors, or any other high street/low meta with exotics, and he loses.

Hell just put him in a forum fight with Archangel. Or Angel with a gun and infinite ammo. No real range attacks (unlike Bats and Cap), no real travel feats, or speed feats....he's limited in his powerSET, but not his power LEVELS.

Same way Hulk is limited. That's why people generally argue against him, even with rookie GLs. Especially if that rookie GL is shown to be wilyto use force.

And here we have the problem, because I think a balance has to be struck between "well, what would realistically happen in a non PIS fight" and the fact that some characters seem to literally have "powering through shit because they're more stubborn than everyone else" as a superpower.

Logan, as haxx as he is, still has limits the Hulk doesn't when we start talking extremes imo.

Thanks for breaking the page, Stilt.

I've seen Magneto get underrated and overrated, with maybe a bit more of the latter. That said, the dude is a legit herald, and lives in a world where almost everyone he might fight tends to bring metal to a magnetism fight.

Iceman is one people have wanked pretty hard. "Full potential" etc etc etc

Stilt is just waiting to post Wolverine stubbornness feats lol

Precisely. Magneto has actually accomplished things. Meanwhile, Gambit has performed as well as Vulcan against Gladiator. And Colossus and noob Teen Jean utterly outperformed him. Emma Frost clotheslining Blackbolt did more damage to him than Vulcan's entire fight.

Congrats Gabriel. Keep practicing and you might even play 2nd string on a Teen X-Men squad one day.

just because vulcan is a jobber, doesn't mean he wouldn't kick magneto's ass

he'd shut down magneto's power like that

Vulcan is shit-tier. All potential without reaching any of it.

Breaking it with what?

Any scans I posted are on the previous page and they didn't break the page.

One direct-link scan is cropped and the other is not full size; it's a thumbnail you need to click on in order to view it in full.

I've been using a widescreen monitor for a while now, so the page doesn't break for me as easily as it does for mortal peasants, though.

Yes, he has.

Especially when compared to someone like Vulcan; even a hater such as yourself should agree there.
