Magneto: Difference between revisions

* [[Steven Ulysses Perhero]]: Yes, my "human" name translates roughly into "intensely strong iron". Though, I believe that "Magneto" is a far more superior and indicative moniker.

* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Several consider me the most powerful mutant alive due to how almost godlike my powers of magnetism can become.

** To further elaborate, electromagnetism is arguably the most interesting of the four fundamental forces in that its scope, and thus the scope of my powers, encompasses virtually everything in the universe. I explicitly control half of physics, all of chemistry (which when boiled down is the study of protons, neutrons, and electrons), and most of biology (which is a combination of chemistry and physics). In fact, because I can manipulate valence electrons, I can force chemical reactions to occur that are normally impossible or make reactions that normally occur not happen. The EM spectrum by itself gives me heat vision, x-ray vision, illusions and invisibility, I am my own radio and can mess with yours, I can produce the deadliest form of radiation, and I can microwave food on a whim (helps with the below trope). Furthermore, I can manipulate peoples' nervous systems which after all run on electrical signals (this may be the best explanation for "Magnetic Attraction"), flash freeze or heat matter by imparting or taking away kinetic energy through protons and electrons, transmute anything into any other thing by rearranging particles at the subatomic level, disintegrate anything bigger than a nucleus, hijack electronics, and a good number of other interesting effects. The long and short of it is: if it can be done via natural means, I can do it.

** You would do well to remember that, during the Acts of Vengeance, I once battled [[Spider-Man]] to a standstill. If that feat sounds unimpressive, bear in mind that he was possessed of [[Captain Universe|otherworldly cosmic powers]] at the time.
