@Darrius:
Did you honestly just attack the man's knowledge of physics in your 5th point after writing what you wrote in your first point, in a post about comic book characters no less. Since you mentioned physics, let me help you, nothing is faster than light.
There is no such thing as "instant" teleportation. Here though, I don't want to focus on the teleportation, which is obviously impossible (but this is comics), but rather the "instant" part. Even if teleportation were possible it would still have a measurable speed. No two events are truly simultaneous, thus your assertion, that no one is faster than instant teleportation is wrong. It's more evidence on DBZ homerism. If I had to guess I would say you think it's the fastest thing going because you saw it in DBZ, therefore it must the fastest, biggest, strongest, or whatever "est" is best for the situation.
seriously man, basing your argument on your pure speculations and feelings won't help you. at least next time you want to counter a scientific argument you should make scientific argument as well. the only correct part n your statement is nothing is faster than light, that everybody know, but writers skip that fact to make their characters a liitle special, but generally it is always the case excpt when it comes to character's travel (they neglect that fact).
your argument is weak, teleportation in comics is instant, everybody knows that, don't tell me you think your the only one right and all the community of comic readers are wrong. :D and besides that, since you really want to challenge me in scientific debate, bring it on buddy, and yes, "instant" exist in science, didn't you here about quantum entanglement and superposition? it's a fact proven by experiences. you're denying scientific facts here.
People have metal in their body. It's trace amounts, but it's there. Whether Cell is 100% organic or not there is still metal in his body, and that metal is enough. Arguing that Cell is a giant battery and has a supercomputer controlling him is actually making the case for Magneto. Neither cell nor anybody else can control any EM field in the presence of Magneto. That is what Magneto does. It is really his only power. It just happens to be one of the fundamental forces in nature (in real life), and that makes it really, REALLY powerful.
But what I really to direct attention to here is Onilord's references to the power levels. What this thread has come down to is a few people saying that Cell, as a DBZ character, can generate enough power to destroy planets and others saying that it doesn't matter how much energy he can generate, he can not win this match-up. Fights with DBZ characters always end up like this. But the match-ups matter more than the power a character can generate. A truck can generate enough power to pull several tons, but I can disable it with by cutting one wire, or removing on wheel, or by putting sugar in the gas tank. The biggest, most powerful machines can be destroyed by a grain of sand in the wrong place.
Magneto can do A LOT with an amount of metal so small that it is barely more than nothing. If that wasn't enough, Magneto can do A LOT with anything than can be affected by an EM field, and that is almost anything. Here he has time to study how to attack his enemy and he is fighting in an adamantium city. Mags isn't losing this fight, if you can call it that.
first : bring me one feat in character no PIS, where Magneto can do what you're saying to someone outputing planetary level energy from all his body (energy that Mag can't control), do that then we can argue about it. but talking about speculative actions that the character never did is useless.
second : you're neglecting the intensity part, an X power is operative untill it faces an intensity beyond control then the X power fail to work. controlling particules needs a great amount of concentration (it's not like controling massive objects) and under an overwhelming energy pressure, there is no way someone can opperate his power specially when it comes to small particules. this is common logic and reognized facts, if it wasn't the case, then anyone who can control particules would be able to control matter in black holes, shatter stars, and command matter in entire galaxy, it makes no sense, that's why there is power levels and limits to everything.
