By all indications, no. But a draw sounds about right. The only reason I give Magnus the advatage is because he's a tactical genius with time think behind his forcefield, and he can use his powers read his opponents energy signature and physiology and can even discern how their powers work given enough time. With his forcefield up, mags is too smart. Heis forcefield and powers give him time to formulate a strategy, and Martian doesn't have that advantage.
You'll find me discussing Magnetos in another thread...it's not fanboyness, it's just easier for me to concentrate on one character at a time. There was a JL vs. Xtinction thread up, and that inspired me to get into a couple more Magneto vs. Justice Leauger matches. I found an interesting match up between Nova Prime and Wonder Woman to I wanna get into, but only have enough concentration to research and debate 1 or 2 characters at a time.
Why not? Manhunter can simply go intangible and go up from underneath where Mags is standing, he can simply just blitz him too. Magnus is way out of his league, he doesn't have the reaction speed and the durability to contend with any top-tier DC bricks.
Manhunters intangibility works on a molecular level; he displaces his molecules into a pocket realm I believe, but that still leaves the atomic and energy base, which Magneto can manipulate...Magneto's powers work on a subatomic level. Intangibility is not in effect. They can't blitz through his shield, and Manhunter isn't faster than light...Magneto DOES have FTL reactions, DOES have FTL tracking, and in any event, he doesn't need it. His forcefield works by thought. The ONLY person in DC who is feasibly fast enough to blitz him before his forcefield goes up is Flash, and it can be argued that even then it might not work.
The only person to phase through Magneto's shield did it specifically by modifying the energy frequency of her body (Photon was in light form) to slip through it. It was only a temporary fix, and in any event, I think he pretty much just slapped her out and modified his forcefield again. I know Manhunter can change his physical body a molecular level; but unless he can either alter the energy frequency of his body, or shield the EM Field binding his atoms together, there is no feasible reason to believe he can phase through Magneto's shields. He isn't FTL as he has stated himself that Superman is faster than him; Magneto has shown the ability to physically catch light speeders, and he has shown that he can react with his powers fast enough to stop even teleportation. (Halted nightcrawler mid-combat well fighting the other X-Men as well)
From behind his forcefield his options are pretty unlimited, as he's actually able to manipulate psionic energy with his powers as well, can gravity manipulate, etc.
