Magneto has flown to the moon in one panel. Something tells me him flying upwards out of Doomsday's range wouldn't be a problem.
And he was only compared to "Flash" by Booster Gold... a human. At that speed, it's hard to tell the difference between someone like Doomsday and Flash, especially for someone with human reflexes.
Doubtful.
Most Green Lanterns shown on panel are used for nothing other than cannon fodder. Saying that no-name GL is superior to Magneto is ridiculous, and a baseless assumption.
You showed a single scan from their entire fight. Before that, Magneto was more than holding his own against Thor. He even magnetically grabbed Mjolnir so Thor couldn't reach it, then 60 seconds later Thor reverted to Donald Blake. What you posted was Thor getting in a sneak attack while Magneto's back was turned.
Anyway, considering that fight took place in Thor's own title series, Magneto did pretty good. And as someone already mentioned, it's 40+ years old. Since then, Magneto has become much more powerful.
In another showing, Magneto laughed off Thor's shots saying something like "mere physical force cannot penetrate my force field."
And considering Magneto has easily restrained the Hulk, I'd say he could do so to DOS Doomsday.

Strangely enough, Superman, and GL's have flown much faster than that...and still get tagged by DD.
If you want Mags to basically bfr himself...
Unless the fight is in a junkyard... standard shrapnel isn't going to do a thing to DD.. especially since he moves much faster than Mags can think.
He'll be too busy trying to keep his field from being broken (which won't take long)
GL is still >>>>>>Mags. Fodder or not.
DOS Doomsday matched Superman blow for blow and with speed, destroyed GL shields, absorbed a Guardians attack, and took out the JLA effortlessly.
Thor still owned Mags at the end. DD doesn't talk (at least not at that time) and goes straight for the kill.
Mags is a powerful mutant, but he surely isn't matching a guy that stomps top tier characters.

Honestly how is Doomsday going to attack Magneto or Dr. Polaris when they're a mile off the ground? What prevents them from just picking him up in some metal and hurling him into space?
Doomsday can't jump that high, and unless he managed to tag them past their shields by throwing something... which I don't see happening. How exactly is he supposed to hurt either of them? Even if he manages to tag one before they can get out of his reach, the other one makes it, and the winning tactic can still be used by only one.
BTW fight is supposed to take place in the middle of a major city. like metropolis .
lol alot of Doomsday vs Magneto with no mention of Dr. Polaris. sure he isnt as deadly of magneto but he does well as a distraction, buying time for magneto to do what some of you are saying he can do.
plus i think i remember something along the lines of magneto being able to be powered up with the help of another magnetic powered based mutant Polaris [marvel].. couldnt something of that nature take place between him and Dr.Polaris acting as a power battery for reserve power?
That's because Superman chooses to engage in physical combat. Magneto has no reason to do that, and he has the ability to stay out of Doomsday's range. Unless Doomsday has a reach of 100 feet, Magneto dictates the pace of the match.
How is staying in the air, away from Doomsday BFRing himself?
I know, right? Because Magneto is only capable of controlling metal.
Aside from the fact that he's easily restrained Hulk and has laughed off Thor's shots, what do you think Dr. Polaris will be doing when all this happens? Handing out lollipops on the street corner?
Prove that that specific Green Lantern shown is superior to Magneto.
Most Green Lanterns aren't Kyle or Hal... or even Guy, for that matter.
Back when a gas station explosion was able to knock Superman out. A Green Lantern that has absolutely no feats.
As for the Guardian feat, that's damn impressive, but this is DOS Doomsday we're talking about. In other words, only feats he accomplished during that arc are applicable. Spin it any which way you want, even though that feat came before Doomsday arrived on Earth, it's pretty apparent he's > DOS version of himself.
And the JLA at that time had some true B-listers on it.
It's important not to ignore context.
1. Magneto beat Thor in the first round.
2. It's folly to use 40+ year old instances to back your claims, especially considering Magneto was much less powerful back then.
Aside from Superman (who was much weaker back then), what other top tier characters did DOS Doomsday stomp? Fire? Ice? Blue Beetle? Booster Gold? Yep, real top tiers alright.
And I guess you seem to be forgetting that Dr. Polaris is also backing up Magneto in this fight.

meh...my only memory of her was her punching Superman when DD ducked
also, you have to remember that DD not only battled Superman but he was fighting the Lex Corp army who blasted him with lasers throughout the whole battle
Why would DD need range of a 100 feet when he has the capability to move at speeds that Mags cannot? It's not like DD stands around to think about his actions, he just goes for the kill.
"60 miles might as well be 60 paces to this monster."
You mentioned Mags going to the moon, not I.
Metal is his forte'. Other abilities require much more concentration. Something he won't have time to do.
Hulk is variable, and Thor whooped his ass at the end when he stopped playing around. Mags can only sustain himself so long under that type of pressure.
I believe it goes to you to show how a Magnetism guy is superior to a guy who can do basically anything and has training on this without any kind of PIS.
Wrong. That IS part of DOS Doomsdays past so it's quite usable. I haven't used H/P material which takes place afterwards.
Wasn't Mags downgraded recently? While he did to get some of his power back..it's not what it used to be..and even at his height...still not herald level.
Let's see...he was absorbing and adapting to a guardians blasts to the point where the guardian had to bfr him, beat a GL straight up, Superman, Maxima, Bloodwind, Guy, countless worlds, etc.
Doesn't sound like a lot, but considering we're forced to limit DD, that isn't bad at all.
I haven't forgotten anything about Polaris. He's pretty much fodder to DD. Oh, and since someone mentioned Polaris beating the JLA, he's also lost individually to them as well. DD has lost to let's see...Supes, Imperiex, Entropy Aegis, and Entropy. The last 3 which are all part of entropy in some way, shape, or form.
