Comic Magneto: How does he fly and get that force field?

[Wolv0rine]

The other would be from the same comic, when he ripped out Wolverine's adamantium skeleton through his own pores. Ouch. I had always wondered why he never tried that before...

He had never tried that before because (and I don't recall where, but it had been stated here and there over the years) Magneto's power was not supposed to be sufficient to affect Adamantium (you need a "Molecular Rearranger" or somsuch). Thus, I still think that was pure BS.

Although, in a Champions group I used to play in, the GM did have a killer attack for Magneto in hand... he had Magneto rip all the base magnetic minerals out of a person's body through their skin. There just wasn't much left after that, usually.

I think it may have had something to do with his empowerment after his near-death experience when the X-men defeated him years ago on Asteroid M. In Uncanny X-men #304, he explains that his "near discorporation within the Earth’s EM field" left him more powerful than he ever imagined. He even shrugged off Rogue's touch as if it were nothing. His ultra-heightened powers must've opened up a new realm of possibilities, allowing him to do tasks previously out of reach, such as altering the molecular structure of adamantium.

Where do you get that? Their official movie site says he manipulates magnetism.

Mainly because the entire prison was made of plastic, and there wasn't a single thing made of any sort of metal apparent in the prison. It might not have been apparent, but they made a big show of referring to "metal" when talking about limiting his powers, though "metal" could have meant only ferromagnetic ones.

One question: what was it that Mystique injected into the guard in the movie? Was that molten iron? mercury? It acted like mercury in the syringe, but it acted iron when Magneto started using it for his escape.

I assume it was some kind of very iron-rich solution. It did, briefly, set off the scanner but it was probably assumed to be some anomoly. I'd assume they wouldn't let anyone near the place who had pins in their hips, etc, but just finding that in his bloodstream it probably couldn't process that information. Pretty darn clever.

That could be. Magneto seems to be much akin to Ultron, really, or a Sentenel - every time he gets completely beaten (as oppsed to just stoped or foiled), he seems to come back stronger, with a big ole' power boost.

Then again that crap about mutants minds being unwashable because every time they use their mutant powers their brainwaves revert back to baseline (during the whole Asteroid M thing as well) was the biggest piece of drivel.

I know this is old, but how did the sentinels beat magneto?

Easy. They started making themselves out of super-dense plastics and non-magnetic metals. They do learn and adapt to better defeat their enemies ya know.

SENTINALS! THAT is what I want to see in the next X-men movie!

What he said. If you see it again listen to what Magneto says after the gaurd enters and just before he gets messed up.

Sentinels in X-3. That would be too cool.

All the mutants come back stronger when they get the pooh beat out of them. It's one of the Marvel mutant things. The explanation is that the trauma and pain forces their mutation to actually increase in its evolution. They explained it a couple of times...have to look for the issues.

He's pretty much the most powerful mutant alive when it comes to physical effects (mental goes to Xavier). [/B]

What about protheus...

p.s. the magneto thing is explained already i guess.
