Movie Storm Vs Movie Magneto

Finally a plausible argument for Magneto.

Can he pull that off before he is hit with lightning? Not likely.

Lightening powers up Magneto...

@alberto_weskardo: when did he show this ability in the movie verse?

The 1st X-Men movie in the Statue of Liberty. And also the reactor that amps his powers to transform humans into mutants in the 1st movie. Then in the Cartoon and comic, Storm's 1st encounter with him fires a bolt of lightning at him when his shields are down. Tells Storm, "Ah.... Don't you know that electricity and magnetism are related?".

if erik senses there is some metal around storm's costume then she is finished.

@alberto_weskardo: okay you obviously new. First off read the OP this is the MOVIE versions of the characters and in his movie incarnation, Magneto has never shown the durability to withstand what Storm can dish out.

Problem is the OP is still too vague. Are there people around? Is this morals on? Bloodlusted? In Character? Are they near water? Helps To Post A Picture of the battlefield and show whether there are people around & morals are on or off.

If people are around & this is morals on. Storm is not going to do a lot of the things people are saying, like creating tornadoes and monsoons. Magneto is already pissed & could care less about humans. He would win this with morals on.

Let alone a Morals Off Magneto.

@lukehero: There are no people around.Morals off.Bloodlusted.They are not near water.

Storm's lightening wasn't instant. She needed several seconds to summon that bolt.

even ignoring the fact that she was busying gloating, that took at least 5 seconds to conjure and strike him with it.

Mean while Magneto has perfectly bullet timed in X-1, caught dozens of missiles and ship fired ordinance in mid flight in First Class. Make no mistake,they might look slow because of how it was shot, but missiles and ship fired ordinance fly at hypersonic speeds. its a fact.

Tearing off the Golden Gate Bridge is over 800,000 tons, iirc, which happened in X-3. That alone is one of the greatest feats of raw power in any comic book movie. Never mind being far and away the most powerful feat of X-Men.

Magneto kills her before she does anything. She doesn't even have anything close to the reaction feats he does.

As someone humorously pointed out, he could kill her with her bra strap before she summoned a lightening bolt.

If they are both bloodlusted it becomes a quick draw event. How fast can he shove a piece of metal through her head vs How fast can she strike him with a lighting bolt. Magneto still wins because they are by a large building. If they were out in the open she fries him and he dies.

huh magneto is at a higher level then storm

Magneto merks.

Lol yes let's use this one example from the first film and completely ignore her development in the other films so Magneto is top dog. Let's also not forget toad took out Jean and Cyclops as well all at the same time. Let's stop using obvious PIS instances and look at these characters to the best of their abilities (atleast what they shown on film)

As you can see Storm struck down Quil, Arclight, Callisto and Juggernaut with her lightning at near instant speed there was no build up for the attacks save her flying on that tornado. Magneto is a bullet timer at best and Storm has completely destroyed Striker's war heads as well in midflight.

@roddy010: Magneto isn't a bullet timer at best, in fact. Catching missiles = hypersonic. Catching the X-Jet = at least supersonic, probably hyper, I don't remember. Besides "at best "is a completely joke of a statement when he did it PERFECTLY. He stopped the bullet from hitting the dude at point blank range. That's not "at best" anything. That's "at least"

And you claim I'm the one ignoring feats.

Never mind the fact that you overrated what actually happened. She didn't hit them with direct lightening like she did Toad. The attacks were very different in both animation and power - considering the chick literally GOT BACK UP without so much as a minor burn, it clearly was not as powerful as the other one. And the two who never came back outside were hit by both the Tornado and the lightening. And her tornado speed wasn't that impressive.

And Juggernaut she took out...with Wolverine's help (metal conducting said electricity) which you also clearly ignored.

And considering those 4 don't even have a fraction of the feats Magneto has, its still not impressive.

She would need to summon a real lightening bolt to defeat him, which takes time. And he will kill her before that happens. Considering Magneto was nearly killed by Rogue and still had some control over his powers, Storm is going to need a lot more than she displayed in that video to kill him.

So again, Storm still needs more time and she's still going to die before that happens and Magneto still wins.

And I didn't even need to try and claim "pis" in an attempt to make my argument look better.

Storm's thunder bolts will do nothing to Magneto. Even though it was not in the movie they battled in X3 in the book based off the movie and she tried that and he absorbed it and turned it back on her, so she is not going to use tornados off the bat but most likely lighting bolts, in which can not hurt him.

The Golden Gate Bridge weighs 895,000 tons.

Truth ^

@fallschirmjager: You are ignoring quite a bit of context and overhyping Magneto. As Roddy has also ready proven and I have stated multiple times she has used her lightning near instantly. She tossed her lightning to shock Juggernaut via Logan's claws in a second or less, and she continued to shock a superhumanly durable Juggerant until he was KO'd. There is no reason she couldn't repeat that here. He isn't tossing metal at her before he is hit. And she didn't NEED Logan's help. Nothing about that scene remotely suggested that Logan's claws were needed to channel her bolt, especially when we see her do the same thing to Callisto with near instant sky lightning and continued to fry her until she was done.

Magneto was easily dropped and KO'd by Cyclop's very minor blast in X1, so even with him being distracted in that scene, there is nothing shown for Magneto to suggest that Storm would need a powerful bolt to drop him. Erik has no durability showings in ANY of the X-movies to support him being able to withstand a lightning bolt from Storm, let alone an amped up one.

And it seems you are the one who is overrating Magneto here in the reaction time dept. Where are you getting that Magneto has greater reaction time from:

1. Catching missiles fired from a very long distance off shore that everyone present on the beach could see coming and are standing on the beach waiting (easily seconds if not a whole minute) is not hypersonic reaction time by any stretch of the imagination. Was there some other scene you are referring to?

2. The X-Jet was falling out of the sky. Not flying at hypersonic speeds. Falling for quite some time in the movie. Magneto took seconds to seal the hole in the top of the jet before he stopped it short of hitting the ground. How is that a showing of hypersonic reaction time if the jet was not in actual flight?

And Quill, Callisto, and Arclight don't need to have any feats to prove that Storm could drop Magneto like she did them (besides the fact that Juggernaut is ore durable than any Magneto has defeated). They all have the SAME durability as Magneto. Storm's tornado was for her flight effect only. Her tornado did not touch them at all. They were only hit with rapidly fired lightning bolts.

No it doesn't. Not in the movie-verse. Please read the title of the thread. He has never shown that ability in ANY movie he has appeared in to date.

This is on the top of a building (outside and under the open sky) and Storm only needs 1 lightning bolt to drop Magneto. Plus Storm has shot lightning from her hands in X3 whie inside Jean's house so even if they were inside she can still strike him. With morals on she used lightning to separate the soldiers from the military forces in X3, fried the Juggernaut unconscious and fried Callisto. Why wouldn't she do that here?

He gets fried.

This has NOTHING to do with that happened in comics. This battle is only based off of movie feats (on screen and not the graphic novels) and NOT how his powers work in comics. Movie-verse Magneto is NOT immune to electricity, can only manipulate metal, has no force fields, and is just as vulnerable to Storm's powers and she is to his.

@amseaton: Agreed. In the movies Storm utterly failed to use her powers to the full extent defensively or offensively (she can control ALL weather) she can create tornado's, hurricanes, waterspouts, blizzards and cause lightning yet the most impressive thing she did was fry Toad which on her scale of power is pathetic.

Magneto was clever he used his power creatively using it to open pathways, beat the crap out of many, many enemies and defend himself though he stupidly left himself vulnerable to what was a really obvious sneak attack.

Magneto wins.

Lol and yet Storm:

• - Sent Sabretooth through a wall in X1
• - Conjured dozens of tornadoes to take out fighter jets in X2
• - Created blizzard inside the cerebro room to save xavier in X2
• - Took out Arclight and Quill in battle in X3
• - Fried Juggernaut in X3 to KO him (superhumanly durable and more impressive than anyone Magneto has fought on screen)
• - Took out Callisto with lightning in X3
• - Flash flood to take out Magneto's pawns in X3
• - Fog to shroud the battlefield so they could cleverly trick and take out Magneto by taking away his powers in X3---which the team succeeded

I think you are clearly underestimating what Storm has accomplished in the movies.

And Magneto loses. A single bolt from Storm would drop him.

@thunderbolt30:

lol righteously owned there. Really should watch those movies again shouldn't I? The thing with Magneto is though his power in the movie seems to be massively different because he can quite simply control metal of all types yet in the comic books he could manipulate electromagnetic fields which in simpler terms refers to anything that can create or generate electronic fields aswell as metallic objects (he even tortured someone using the electricity with their brainwave patterns.

In any case with what you've just said I'll take back what I've said. Storm likely wins if she uses her power effectively.

Hopefully I didn't offend lol. If so I apologize.

If this were comics I'd fully agree with you. Magneto is one of the most powerful mutants in existence, and has consistently defeated Storm and the rest of the X-Men on the regular, so there isn't much argument there IMO. I don't know why they only limited his powers to metal manipulation vs the full EM sprectum like he does in comics (but it seems most everyone has been nerfed for the movies).

@thunderbolt30: Hahaha! Not offended at all, it's all good fun.

They probably changed it to be more simplistic so people wouldn't get confused similar to how in the Transformers Movies they didn't rename Megatron, Galvatron for some ridiculous reason. MAGNETo = Magnetic simple enough. In any case always nice to speak to someone willing to have a laugh on here.

Bump

what is the point of this thead? if Storm can beat Magneto, why not just send Storm to stomp his ass.

@copete What's the point of you posting in this thread if you going to hate?

lol no hating, but it's pretty evident that Magneto wins 10/10

@afueikawa: Storm doesn't wear a bra, i know because i checked...
