Feats in the 616
It is never long before people involved in "Battle" threads or "Vs." debates begin calling for specific references to characters' abilities. The following is a list of feats Magneto has done in the 616 with the appropriate references. I have only included events that took place in the 616 mainstream continuity, not in alternate realities or possible futures.
~ Manipulating metal: Well, all the time. The most spectacular demonstration of this came in New Mutants (Vol.1) #51 when Magneto took an abandoned cruise ship from miles offshore and created a smooth breakwater out of it in minutes. In Uncanny X-Men #91, he also lifted a cargo ship. He also can pull iron particles from the air to create objects, such as encasing Banshee in a metal shealth in Uncanny #104, or creating a comb for the Wasp in Secret Wars I.
