[QUOTE="Cthulhudrew, post: 3130952, member: 4090"] As others have said, Molecule Man ranks above him, and I'd argue that Graviton is also more powerful (he recently held almost all the worlds superheroes immobile- Mags ain't got nothin' on that!) Magneto's power levels do vary, though, depending on the writer. Most (if not all) of the feats you've described were accomplished under Chris Claremont, and weren't necessarily recognized or matched by other writers. (As an aside, Mags has demonstrated some low level telepathy in the past as well, not to mention a knowledge of human mutation that is among the highest on the planet, supplemented by Deviant technology.) Currently, though- who knows? Mags was recently depowered (House of Meh), and then got powered back up in New Avengers when he absorbed the abilities of "the Collective"- and I have no idea whether that means he's back at full-magnetic power, or if he's got the mishmash of abilities that the Collective had. In any case, the Collective wiped out Alpha Flight and more than held its own against the New Avengers, so there you go. Anyway, again, a list of the most powerful people on the MU Earth off the top of my head: Molecule Man (another person whose power fluctuates as needed) Graviton Humus-Sapien (though no longer on Earth, he was so powerful he had to be kept in stasis for decades and while on Earth is potentially more powerful than Mags) Magneto Michael Korvac (hasn't been seen, to my knowledge, since his ill-conceived resurrection in early issues of Captain America v.3) Rick Jones (potentially, at least when he has powers) The Sentry Count Nefaria [/QUOTE]
