Dazzler vs Magneto

Betcha 50 bucks someone will post the Eve of Destruction scan.

Magneto Stomps 

Magneto

sort of spite towards dazzler

I'm going to be the oddball here a say Dazzler.

That is assuming that the Power Plant is working during the fight.

Light moves faster than Metal so...

Magneto dies.

Magneto would win. Dazzler is powerful, and part of me thinks that a dazzle-blast could still work here at least 1/10, but she doesn't really bring anything to the table that Magneto couldn't handle.

magneto easy

Unfortunately, while she could put up a good fight, nail him with a few dazzle blasts to blind him and etc, I don't think her laser beam or photon blasts can penetrate his shields, which are almost always up unconsciously. It didn't go so well for her the last time she went up against him on Jean's strike force.

How does a Power Plant help Dazzler when she absorbs Sound and converts it into Light??

The Power Plant plays more of an Advantage to Magneto than Dazzler.

@PhoenixoftheTides: I pretty much agree, except that dazzle-blast is more than blinding light. It can incapacitate her opponents with extreme light sensory overload almost instantly.

Except Magneto also has light control as part of the electromagnetic spectrum, not to mention he'll attack and finish before she knows the battle starts. He has enhanced reaction time, she doesn't.

His control over light is rarely ever used though (I only recall seeing it once). I agree that his reaction time is greater than Alison's but he has been hit by attacks from opponent that are slower than he is, and Alison is pretty fast on the draw. It's not out of the realm of possibility for Alison to out draw or draw fast enough to potentially hit him. If she got off a dazzle-blast first Magneto would be hit. Light is just too fast.

Magneto.

Spite.

Magneto wins. But can light get past his shields? What form of energy did photon use to get inside his shields?

Considering that if light couldn't get past his shields, he wouldn't be able to see past them.....

Selene has used that to her advantage against him.

@CitizenBane: yeah, that's what i was thinking. reminds me of the time when green arrow and atom took out darkseid. So does that mean that Alison's blasts get through his shield?

@chiq: I don't see why they shouldn't.

Really, this is a bigger stomp than Dazzler vs Dr. Doom

@menaceforever: sorta spite? UNDOUBTEDLY SPITE.

@ShadowKing: nice one. NOT

Ever been to a power plant?

Loud as hell man, so it does give a huge advantage to Dazzler as well.

@Pwok21: Dazzler is more useful at a parade Lol Even with all the noise in the world Magneto's force fields are nearly impenetrable and he also can control light...Magneto stomps Dazzler badd

He's used it several times. He made himself invisible to invade Attilan, he used it in his second encounter with Photon, and he dispersed the photons from one of Dazzler's attacks (though it was a tp illusion he can still do it). With his penchant for trying to debate his opponent into not fighting, he may let her go first. But he has at least 3 lightspeed reaction feats as well (dispersing Allie's light, and catching Northstar at top speed, and keeping up with Photon). He can also manipulate sound and can create a harmonic resonance to shut down sound from getting to her, he can encase her ,or even just her ears, in metal taken from the air, he can shut off blood flow to her brain for a ko, he can shut off blood to her eardrums and deafen her temporarily, he can just shut her powers off or hold her still via iron in her blood. He can pull her to the astral and beat her. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. If she uses her very best attack it may or may not hit, may or may not get through his shields, may or may not be blocked, and may or may not work depending on if he can will himself past it (I'm betting yes) and if he increases to 100 class durability. This really isn't close. Not unlike the many other battles against any individual X-Man. He's already beaten them all together and at their best. 1on1 isn't close for any of them. He can take a point-blank direct shot from the Phoenix Force itself, then shut its powers off. Dazz isn't a challenge.

Oh my.

Is anyone trying to defend Dazzler? lol

@yodagod: To state she isn't a challenge for him I think is an underestimation of her. I'm aware of the many ways that he can win, and that he could likely strike first. I'm just pointing out that a dazzle-blast should have no problem effecting him if she was successful with landing a strike. The odds are clearly in Magneto's favor though.

I don't think so. Until or unless she comes fully into her omega status/potential, she'll never be a challenge to him. A full power dazzle blast, assuming he doesn't counter it or have his shield up, which would likely disseminate some of it, still probably wouldn't do more than briefly stun him at best, and may hardly affect him at all. With durability allowing him to tank unshielded blows from Colossus coupled with willpower enough to hold off Xavier and Jean together, he'd probably just shrug it off. And even if it works and stuns him for a few seconds, what's her follow up? She'll have o use all her stored reserve energy for her initial blast to have any chance. If she somehow instantly recharged, his armor is molecularly bonded, so no lasers will work. She isn't going h2h with him when Piotr and Herc can't. That's if he basically gives her a free shot with her best attack, and doesn't accidentally reflexively kill her. She'd be smarter to go for subtlety and try emotion manipulation, but he'd probably recognize that as well. She has maybe a one in a million shot, but not much more than that IMO. She's had chances to really shine, but usually falls disappointingly short, many times embarrassingly short. In character her own CIS comes in to play, and she's even worse than Bobby for living up to her potential. Nearly as bad as Hydroman or Electro. She and Jubilee have been officially omegas for a long time, and neither have so much as a single omega-level feat.

I respect you for defending her, but I just don't see it.

@yodagod: If a dazzle-blast hit him, it would instantly overwhelm his senses, and thus his nervous system. He should be incapacitated by it, if not made vulnerable to follow-up attacks. I don't think durability would matter much. Augmenting his physical durability or relying on willpower won't do anything to help his human phisiology. When Rogue with Ms.Marvel powers was possessed by Malice and hit by a dazzle-blast, I believe she was instantly paralyzed and incapacitated. Even if he managed to only be stunned for a few seconds, which I think this attack would more effective than that, a low level photon blast from Alison could KO Magneto (assuming he won't have his shield up due to being stunned). A full power photon blast has hurt both Ms. Marvel Rogue and Colossus, so Magneto would need his shields to handle that.

I haven't seen anything that stated Alison is omega level, or that she has omega level potential, but I do think she should be. And she has demonstrated exceptional skill with her powers, so I am not understanding the Iceman, Hydroman or Electro comparisons. She has explored the versatility of her abilities and many of the applications of her powers, so I am not seeing how she has wasted her potential. She has created holograms, various forms of force fields, photon beams, create light lasers with extreme accuracy, light strobes, dazzle blasts, light constructs and weapons, removed sound from an area (can absorb limitless amount of sound), and manipulated emotions though controlled light.

As for h2h - Magneto and Alison are probably on par with each other in the h2h department. Both have had training and have demonstrated a fair level of comptency in h2h on panel, but neither are skilled fighters or have a notable degree of experience. Magneto being able to go toe to toe with Herc in h2h is PIS or WIS. If both were depowered Hercules would beat Magneto with little difficulty. Max has not demonstrated the skill to contend with fighters of exceptional skill, a category I think Herc falls into. His fight with Colossus in classic uncanny was more of a brawl, with a fair level of h2h skills being demonstrated. Even his fight with Sebestian Shaw, where Magneto opted to use his powers vs continuing the fight h2h, was another demonstration of only fair level fighting skills. Magneto didn't have the upper hand in these fights, s I don;t see why Piotr couldn't go toe to toe with him.

Either way, we both agree that Magneto wins here, and I appreciate the opportunity to chat on Dazzler (even if you think she's lame :-)). She's one of my favorite characters, right behind Storm and Crystal.

i just want to point out that a dazzle blast is not a concussive attack. it is light bright enough to overload dazz's opponents senses and render them unconscious. if mags can see through his field he can be dazzled. now don't get me wrong i think magneto wins. but a dazzle blast would be dazzler's best option. 

I would probably take Dazzler more seriously if her attack wasn't called a "dazzle blast".

This could probably go either way. Dazz has alot to offer in combat.

Dazzler has far rotter fashion sense.

Ahhhh autocorrect

*better

Juggernaut and Merlin were both able to shrug off dazzle-blasts, indicating that either high enough durability or willpower should be enough, and Mags has both. A photon blast might hurt him some, but his armor should provide enough protection that it won't incapacitate him even without his shields.

I've seen her referenced as omega a few places including Marvel's official list of omegas (on which Magneto does not appear, but should). She's shown a lot of versatility, but so have Bobby, Morrie, and Max. When it comes to clutch time, she falls short too much. She's had chances to really show what she could do, like when they went up against Mad Jim Jaspers and the Fury, but she was taken out before even being able to be involved, and Blink ended up saving the day. Cool, but cooler if Allie had been there for the finish. When she is shown on par with Pulsar, I'll be much happier. Until then, she's as bad as Bobby at least.

I actually think her h2h skills are superior to his by a fair margin after her time in Mojoverse. I'm actually referencing his durability. He's tanked unshielded blows from Colossus, and broke free from a Hercules bear-hug. Her human level attacks shouldn't hurt him at all, even if he's already stunned.

I've rather enjoyed chatting myself. For the record, I like Dazzler quite a bit, which is why I wish they'd do more with her. I like that you have Crystal on there too. The arc when she and Medusa came to Earth so Medusa could give birth, was pretty sweet. I like when she gets to show off, since it is so rare.

@yodagod: LOL The only reason he broke free from Hercules was because he increased his strength. He wouldn't do that here since he is fighting someone who has no super strength.

Magneto

I have a question, does the Marvel Wiki count?? I was looking and it looks like an actual Marvel website. If it is the Marvel states that Magnetos Energy projection is 6 while Dazzler is a 7. Magneto is more durable but Dazzler is a 6 for fighting while Magneto is a 3. Both same intelligence. Magneto is a 4 for speed while Dazzler is a 3. Still not sure how accurate that is but if it works then Marvel says Dazzler is more powerful.

Magneto wins. 

I think it could go either way.
 
Here's some scans I found of Dazzler that show it won't be a stomp.

He may not increase it to those levels, but he pretty much always increases it in combat. He knows she has fast attacks, and high damage attacks, it would only be sensible to increase his durability accordingly.

@WWQ said:

@yodagod: Why would he want to increase his durability against someone who has no super strength when he has his shield up?

Why wouldn't he? If you could have Hulk level durability whenever you wanted, wouldn't you keep it on, especially for combat? She may only have human strength, but she has many superhuman attacks. Of course he'll use it. And incidentally, I was using him without shields in my example. The only time he doesn't seem to increase his durability is right when Wolverine goes for an attack, and the one time Kurt ko'ed him with a metal pipe. He'll stomp Phoenix and Storm and Iceman, tank unshielded optic blasts and blows from Piotr, but somehow drop his durability, shields, and armor density just as Logan strikes. Since Wolverine isn't here, he should have his durability at high levels.

He wouldn't because he already has his shield, which is quite powerful so it would be unnecessary to increase his durability and strength. He only increased his strength with Hercules after Herc bear hugged him. Dazzler's attacks move at light speed so Magneto wouldn't have the chance to increase his strength and durability. In the scans I posted, Dazzler defeated Hulk, She-Hulk and Colossus who have a huge strength advantage over her and like you said, Magneto wouldn't increase his strength to the same level when he fought Hercules, so Dazzler could beat him: Magneto wouldn't increase his strength to the same level as Hulk, as Dazzler doesn't have super strength. Also, she's a better fighter than he is, in my opinion and she can create force fields.
