Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
I forgot about him performing laser surgery on part of Dr. Polaris's brain. That's some pretty serious control, right there, especially considering it's from the pre Priest mini, with no experience at all.

yeah, that's cool. a fight with mags would be different than this went though--more of an energy struggle. meh, i think it safe to say that anyone who thought it would be easy one way or the other has been proven wrong. i'll still take mags though. and the dazzler scene was never a part of my own reasoning for his being able to counter ray. a lot also has to do with his ability to perceive energy in all its forms. some good stuff shown by you though. maybe if i get some time tomorrow i'll revisit this and add some mags stuff. many of his feats are pretty well known, but it might be worth showing a couple just as a refresher for those following along.
So much so that an algorithm he wrote to control one of his light constructs ( built a light construct around a laptop) became self aware and his greatest enemy http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/b...Page20.jpg.html
As for the argument if Ray blitzes in character, almost constantly http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/b...f32-18.jpg.html
Nothing to state he's going light speed, but he isn't taking it easy. There are other examples where it's shown you can't "lock onto the guy" with target systems because of his speed.
This is interesting. Been a long time since I saw the Ray.
On one hand, Magneto has some pretty impressive feats with his magnetic powers, and the Dr. Light incident where he controlled the Ray (don't remember it, but going on the other comments). So Mags might stand a good chance.
On the other hand we have a similar character like Photon bypassing his shields. Now in a different issue I remember Photon turning into neutrinos, not one of her normal powers and I'm not sure if it was a writer's error, but neutrinos could certainly go through magnetic fields unaffected.
I don't think Ray does neutrinos. But presumably like Photon he can do gamma rays, which are also unaffected by electromagnetism. So there's an option.
Ray also has the ridiculous speed on his side.
So, is Mags control over energy forms as good as Light's? Probably not because that's Lights thing. But is it good enough to overcome Ray, or can Ray uses speed or turn into something that Magnetic can't really affect?
Given Mag's longer history and more feats, maybe I'm inclined to give him a slight edge here. But from what I remember of Ray I think he can take some or even just stalemate.
Some might argue this next one is not completely relevant, because it deals with a future version of Ray, who became a heartless corporatist Gordon Gekko type by working for Vandal Savage, and eventually beating him in a hostile takeover.
DC time travel doesn't work like Marvel does, which is why some take future Orion's feat of resetting the universe in Rock of Ages as canon. Take this how you will:

He's certainly deserving of one and way underrated. I'll do my part but I was actually surprised how few scans I had in my Ray scan folder ( especially considering how many times I used him in tourneys on other sites).
ATM I can't really scan a lot more. Down to a couple hundred MB on my desktop storage and badly in need of cleaning it up. Despite addin a 1tb internal drive to the 750 gb it came with. What you get for using the damn thing as a media server for the house with a few wi fi and networking media players drawing movies, tv shows and music direct from it.
I don't have his mini or solo series(unfortunately), but have all of JUSTICE LEAGUE TASK FORCE and I think all the JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA comics and would be willing to help if you'd want.

that's a fair enuff assessment. but, while gamma rays may not be affected by magnetism, it IS part of the em spectrum, and as such, within the scope of mags' power to control.
here are a few scans to show some different things (just so people don't think we mags' people were talking out of our arses):
affects STONE by manipulating the iron atoms in it demonstrating atomic levels of control:
here is the dazzler illusion--thing here is, even though it's illusion, dazzler admits that she KNEW mags would shield against her...so i don't think it illogical to assume this is what would have happened.
i could show the whole fight against phoenix as well, which would show ludicrous durability if anyone wants to see it. here he reacts to northstar who moves at 99.999% of light speed and a couple others, courtesy of phil:
i could post some scans with statements regarding his power level, but statements only mean so much. in general, everyone knows he is among the most powerful of all mutants. if he decided to go invisible (he's actually used it a couple times), that would also give him a helpful edge.
anyway, there are many more scans i could show for mags. his history is sooo long. i've learned a lot about ray in this thread though, but i still give the win to mags because of experience and overall skill/control. keep posting ray stuff though and if i get the chance i can try adding more for mags.
Naah, he's always been an Omega level mutant. I thought that statement was only referred too by mutants but they are calling Hulk Omega level as well. So I don't know what that means anymore tbh. Well, in the Marvel Universe j dont.
Omega level mutant needs to have abilities that contain unlimited power. Mags powers covers the entire EM spectrum and can do a lot of crazy shit with it. But it ends there so that is why people still classify him as an alpha level mutant.
Hulk is an omega level threat. Their is a difference between calling a threat and classifying a mutant abilities.
