I have posted the scans at least 8 times and I don't feel like looking for them but poloris was having split personality issues and was fighting a female version of himself... supes arrives and that's when all of this happens.
No but mags has soloed the avengers and didn't need a power boost to do this. Magneto is a team buster and he has proven this on so many of occassions.
I could possibly see an argument made for the Avengers not being in the top 5 (it really depends on which era/version) but they're definitely in the top 10.

You all might down play the avengers but writers think of the avengers as being as equal as possible to the jla, that's why they made a comic staring the two in a fight. The avegers in marvel AND dc eyes is just as powerful as the jla. Mags took the down easily, in a couple of panels without breaking a sweat and I feel safe to say that if mags was in dc, he would have soloed the jla as well just like doctor poloris has done along with numerous of other beings.
Going by feats magneto<<poloris so stop ignoring this. Magneto would trample poloris if it came down to a fight between the two.
Again, in dc and marvel eyes, the xmen is a powerful team. Didn't dc and marvel get together to make a story of the two teams fighting and some of the weakest group of the team stalemated the jla and was actually beating some of the core members?
In terms of prestige you are correct. But I think what they're saying is that for the purpose of forum battles JLA > Avengers. How many herald level characters comprise JLA teams? How many on the Avengers?
I agree with that but what I am saying is that in writers eyes, magneto taking on the avengers and the Xmen is just as good as taking on the JLA.
I agree with Gecko... the JLA is more powerful than both groups "on the forum" but that still does not change the fact that Mags has done something that Superman or Thor would NEVER be able to do... solo a high tier team that consist of some of the most powerful beings on the planet. THEN we have a mags that was unable to control his power soling the Avengers yet again that consisted of the Sentry.
I would never argue that The Xmen or the Avengers are equal to the JLA but that still do not change the writers perception of the character.
Place Mags in Doctor Poloris shoes; he would have done far better against the JLA since he is more powerful and has better feats with his powers.
I recall that as well but they were not trying to hurt him, they were trying to capture him but he was too agile to catch. Jean Grey read his mind and knew that he was lost in time and that he didnt belong there.
I agree with this now if it was in a comic books and we asked DC and Marvel to place the Avengers or The Xmen in the 1-10 slot, where would they be "IN WRITERS EYES"?
