@nickthedevil: Pretty sure he understands that this site also has a character database with a search function and is just f*cking around.
I'm really sure that Kang obliterates Mags.... And Kang hasn't face anybody (that i know of) that he doesn't have a little bit of prep time. i'm sure that in 1000 years, theres going to be MORE than enough ways to get around Mags. and Kang, upon seeing Mags, will recognize him, Knows what to do, and curb stomps him
Kang Definately stomps.
@nickthedevil: ...I don't get that.
@MagneticShockwave: no he doesn't. the doom thing was a betrayal, not a stand up to him fight.
and Kang is more cunning than Mags, so thats not helping here.

we're talking the Infinity war right? if so, then thats not how it went down. Doom and Kang DID join forces. and in the middle of their fight against Magus, Doom stabbed Kang in the back (figuratively) and was himself beaten by Magus before he could kill Doom.
Mags does not have a time machine sooooo....

kang travels back in time and kills magneto before he got his powers. Seriously without pis it should be really tough to beat a time traveler..
Kang, at least how I think of him being characterized, wouldn't do that. I remember Kang teaching his son that time was the battlefield not the weapon (or something to that effect, I think I'll have to look that up) when he suggested a similar battle strategy against the Avengers and conquering opponents at their best and fighting equally with them is such a big part of his character (he takes on Ultron at his best and engages Captain America in combat Cap can actually compete in because he enjoys it more) that I think he'd take on Magneto as an adult fully in control of his powers. And I think he'd win.
There has only ever been one problem with Kang. His horrendous costume. Aside from that, he is perfect.
Time Travel doesn't work on Magneto. He'll sense a rip in the time stream with his magnetic senses before Kang can enter through the portal.kang travels back in time and kills magneto before he got his powers. Seriously without pis it should be really tough to beat a time traveler..

Yup. I agree.. I remember that issue. It's not in his character to do it, he does not feel there is any honor and challenge in doing such a thing.
They did a team up more than twice. I think about 5 times from what I can remember and the Infinity War was one of them, but I'm talking about the time when they 1st met, Kang came to Doom in suggestion that he was his son/grandson from the future.@MagneticShockwave said:

@Manchine: didn't magneto's hold up to Thor and Galactus? YES IT DID! :D and Magneto wins.

Yes it did... he held his shield on a weakened Galactus. Not much of a feat. Even Reed Richards can scare a weakened Galactus. Thor had already bypassed Magneto's shield. Weaker characters have already penetrated his shield namely Cyclops.

HEY OH! :)
@madrid_san: Unless Magneto's power could extend to manipulating the flow of time... Magneto is not gonna win this.

The only time Magneto has held up against Thor was when Thor had his strength reduced below half (The Scan had Thor with Dr. Druid in it). The only other time Magneto has fought Thor he admited his force field couldn't take but a couple of hits from Thor. He fought him one other time but they never really showed him using his force field against Thor.

Yep. I think some people forget that in the grand scheme of the Marvel Universe, the X-Men are not as powerful as characters like Thor, Moondragon, etc. The only one that's come close is Jean/Phoenix, and she rarely interacted with the rest of the Marvel U.
That's debatable. Legion can give Thor a hell of a time. X-man at his best is an absolute beast. Iceman when he reaches his full potential is gonna be one scary dude.
Not saying they all beat Thor (Legion I see can beat him), I am a fan of his too and he kicks some serious ass and it pisses me off he had to die.
Im gonna go with Kang here. He probably has a doo-hicki that would nullify Magneto's powers in some way.
Kang.That guy used to be awesome, what a sweet classic character, I'd def give this one to him over Magneto...won't be a stomp but I'm just saying I'd take Kang, especially since almost all FantasticFour villains end up being stronger than XMen villains.
@fondofpacman: Isn't Kang more of an Avengers villain?
Anyway, I haven't seen a lot of Kang, but I don't know if he could do this without prep. I mean, in both Secret Wars and Infinity War, Doom got the better of him, and I don't think Doom without prep could take Mags either. Maybe not a totally one-sided affair, but still, most of his power relying on electronics and metal is problematic. As far as I know, Kang is even more reliant, since Doom has actual magic to back himself up with.
Prep, of course, swings things heavily in favor of Kang, although he's still been beaten by the Avengers, so it's not like he's invincible, and his time traveling abilities either have some sort of limitations, or he's just not very good at using them to their full potential (or he has some strange concept of fair play he lives by). Comics being what they are, I could buy either explanation.
@Freefa11: His armor has all the things he need to take out Magneto...

In general, I would say that Avengers villains are more powerful than X-Men's villains. The X-Men tend to beat up on humans who commit hate crimes, random evil mutants with vague schemes and each other.
i've seen him a couple of times in FF, never read too much avengers...so maybe he is more of an avengers guy, i dunno...but in FF they made him out to be sort of a futuristic version of Doom, that alone just seems like it should be more than enough enough to take out a guy who's only power is magnetism. And his lack of magic i don't think gives doom much of a leg up, unless doom's gotten better at using his magic, he was content to be an amateur reguarding mystic powers.

Doom isn't an amateur in regard to mystic powers, he's almost been Sorcerer Supreme a few times now.
@Soulstealer: I was really only referring to classic Doom; traditionally he was always the guy with massive intellect and some rudimentary sorcery thrown in for good luck. I haven't kept up with anything close to modern comics, so if this changed I was unaware. What magic has he been doing that's so impressive?

He and Dr. Strange have been rivals for a bit now but I guess it depends on what you consider Classic Doom. He's still a FF villain, but seriously Doom has been a more free range source of villainy for quite sometime.
