Auto-shields are often assumed to be sometimes skintight, sometimes invisible type of a forcefield.
While the manual ones tend to be depicted as a big bubble.
But it's not a rule, each creative team can see that very differently.
Especially with Doom, whose "standard" gear & "spell-casting book" change a lot, more often that Carver changes senior managers, if you know what I mean.

He's stronger and fast enough to beat Pixie. How is she beating him? When she's defeated, how do you live after that? You're trapped in her dimension with things that would kill you since her spells won't be active after her death.

[b]V. FORCE-FIELDSDoom has some of the strongest force-fields in comics. First off, they're just plain stronger than Invisible Girl's, from Fantastic Four #200:

But there are his force field feats, which are high end, and then there are his armor durability feats, which are also high end (in part - everybody has low showings, esp somebody with that many showings).
So if "auto shields" are somewhere in between, then I think he's (initially) safe.
If Carv wants to actually debate this we can get into the magic stuff, too.
