Magneto. Joseph already beat Exodus and though he was supposed to be more powerfull than him, Magneto has gotten much better since then.
Read X-Men Legacy's current arc.

Magneto is confronting Proteus and has his blood turned into lead. Quite some time after that, and with Magneto being near-death, Proteus attacks them again. Cue to:
how the **** does he live when his blood is tuned into lead?

Correction: not his blood, the iron in his blood is turned into lead.
Nope. Near-death, with his powers not at his peak and he still takes Proteus one on one.

Protheus claimed he controlled the elements and that the world was wet clay in his hands so i guess he takes him out of the planet to reduce his working material - he can't create matter? - the funny thing is that Protheus could warp magneto directly to kill him, but he seems afraid of him, perhaps because of the iron weakness.
Is it possible Magneto has some ability to counter reality warping? iirc Exodus is able to do the same tho I don`t remember when he showed this ability.
Exodus' tk is a good match up for magneto's powers in general. I see the balance shifting to exodus though, magneto is vulnerable to TP without his helm which can be removed with TK or taken apart on a molecular level by exodus (he took machinery apart like this in messiah complex IIRC)
