    <p>Bottom line can his shield stand up or would the mental strain be to much for him to handle constant blows from the man of Steel? Only physical attacks nothing more</p>

    Can Magneto's shield stop planet destroying forces? Greater than planet destroying forces? Even assuming it could the planet would shatter beneath him. Im assuming since the question is being asked, Superman is hitting with what amounts to one of his top attacks (without getting in to the truly absurd levels of possibility), not holding back to Magnetos level. A top end Superman attack is far more than anything but the most powerful characters can survive.

    Magneto could stop a Byrne era Superman attack... Maybe.

    Can a fictional character fictional abilities stand up to another fictional characters attacks? Well absolutely definitely not, what kind of crazy talk are you spouting heh heh.

    Depends really, both characters are a bit inconsistent and Magneto's powers naturally tend to fluctuate. His top level feats include things like taking atomic bombs, hits from She Hulk and Thor. Then again a character like Thor has also hit them hard enough to eventually give way, so depends. Maybe a better way to phase the question is how consistently has Magneto's shields been tested by characters like Superman. To which the answer is not often. Actually answering the question at face value requires knowing what kind of force is typical for a Superman punch and how solid and consistent Magnetos shields are. Its quite safe to assume given their respective roles in respective universes that Superman would probably be portrayed as breaking them eventually.

    This sums it up correctly.

    With ease.

    He has been an attack from Captin universe, Thor + She - Hulk and Galactus survived.

    Superman can probably work through. But we take.

    Especially when Erik accesses the energy of the sun and other planets.

    Nope Magneto can't even stand up against a few of Thors attacks. He has no chance against Superman.

    If it can stop Thor and She-Hulk simultaneously, it can stop Superman.
