I love how, when Tetsuo goes full body-horror, Magneto seems hopeless and kind of looses the will to fight; that is until he hears Tetsuo's thought "Help me". He then realizes that it is his mission to rescue this kid from the suffering of his own existance. That sparks the will to fight again, but for a much heroic, if tragic, cause. Not to survive, but to "rescue" Tetsuo.

[@rogue_2k374]

Also look at his eyes. During most of the fight they are white, a sort of “neutral” mindset, but during most of the points where Magneto is most angry, especially the brain blast before Tetsuo begs for help, they are red, showing his rage. But when he is grabbed by Ego Death Tetsuo his eyes are human. I think this is supposed to be his, well, human side so to speak coming out and giving him a better reason to fight than him being racist.

@King of The Zinger That attitude right there is why you should be seeing a therapist… You took an entirely pessimistic stance upon the mere mention of you receiving help. Therapists take up their profession because they genuinely enjoy helping people. They go through years upon years of expensive education (as you snidely noted) just so they can spend half of their career paying off that schooling. Do you think someone would go through all of that just to “likely not care or contribute” with their patient? Look, I know you must have been hurt in the past and I won’t act like I know what happened. But I do know that carrying yourself like a victim of circumstance and believing that the world is against you, isn’t going to help you in any way. It’s only going to push people even further away and cause you to cast blame onto others for your own problems. Ostracizing yourself even further through resistance.

In theory if Magneto can control magnetism he could also control electricity, sound and even light/color, even weather. He could also push his body to be even faster than Tetsuo if he used the magnetism internally to move his body, even enhancing each punch. He could coat his skin in a layer of metal that he actively manipulates while fighting to create another layer of defense. He is way stronger than given credit.

He does, in fact, sometimes just decide to control electromagnetism in general, in the comics. He usually just prefers "normal" magnetism because it's a lot easier for him, IIRC.

Let's not forget the time when Magneto had his heart ripped out and he endured for hours just manually pumping his blood with his powers *while fighting*. I think that comic came out after this Death Battle, but still.

[@CommandingVanguard]

The point that solidified Magneto's victory was when mutated Tetsuo started screaming into his mind. The moment the "help me" came in, Magneto knew he had to stop holding back to save the boy from such a terrible life, even if it was to end his life, Magneto knew it was a better alternative to the horrible monster Tetsuo transformed into.

Eric has probably encountered many such mutants who had to be put down because their own power was either driving them mad, or they couldn't control it. It's a grim thing to do, but it is still mercy compared to the alternitive.

Seeing this fight. It reminded me of the old X-men cartoons and how Magneto looked after the brotherhood.

more or less this is quite accurate. Humans he doesn't really care about but in recent times he has come to see that his methods are causing more harm then good. If he see's a mutant in trouble, no matter whom it is, he has there back and will save them regardless. As far as humans go, he won't purposely kill them but he won't go out of his way to save them. If they aren't messing with him he won't bother them.

But it has been since the late '80s that he decided less on the "conquering and subduing the world" and more on "creating safeheaven for mutants to protect them from humans" as a solid alternative. He has not been the direct enemy of the Xmen in a while, but he has challenged their point of wiev to the point that they conceded him the point, and latelly they even built not one, but two full on places "for mutants only" with shared ruling!

Magneto is a villain, but his villainy doesn't really come from hatred or evil IMO. It comes from his experience during one of humanity's greatest atrocities and his absolute faith that his people, the mutants, are the future and his fear that humanity will attempt to destroy them out of fear of losing their place as the dominant species on Earth. That fear made him decide to destroy humanity first, but the fact that he started out as an X-Man and joined them again later once he realized his methods were only hurting his people more than helping them is proof of this. He does care about people, but he's a pragmatist that embodies the idea that "humanity will eventually push our kind until it becomes a battle to determine the survival between us or them, and I damn well intend to make sure that we're the ones that make". I have no problem imagining Magneto genuinely feeling bad for Tetsuo and killing him as a mercy rather than simply for his own survival because despite the horrible things he's done, he's not an altogether horrible person. At least not in the main continuity.

In both movie and manga when his body starts to grow into eldritch horror, he begs Kaneda to help him and to run away, showing that he never had genuine hatred towards him, but he just wanted to be validated as human instead of a runt.

[@mrgoober6320]

Leading up to the House of M, Magneto heard that the X-Men were planning to kill Scarlet Witch (his daughter) and created two miniature black holes so that he could use an Einstein-Rosen bridge to travel instantaneously between them, effectively teleporting to New York. The entire storyline is weird and the writing was meh, but Magneto's shenanigans were some of the best parts.

[@ludonymous526]

Magneto: A man who has seen all sorts of horrors commited by mankind, shaping him into becoming one of Marvel's most tragic characters who's motivated by trying to protect Mutanthood, no matter what costs it might take for him. Tetsuo: An unruly teenage gangster who upon gaining his powers, life for him is a living hell for simply existing. No wonder once Magneto discovers his agony, he decides to mercifully put Neo-Tokyo's telekynetic terror out of his misery for good.

[@JacketCK]

there's also the fact that technically everything is magnetic to a certain degree, with magneto's powers he could use practically everything around him, because with a powerful enough field you can start levitating Plastic, but by that point you're pushing more power than a pulsar

YESSS!!! I have been trying to tell people this for so long. Magneto CAN control non magnetic metals because of his force field

Not only that, he also reflects the same way that happened to him when he was a child after he and his family separated during the H∅locaust.

[@misteraskman3668]

I've for some time how could Tetsuo return to his human form once he has his ego collapse. After reading more about "ego death", I think that it is reasonable that the way you could identify yourself with you is with a strong exterior impulse that both your body and mind can recognize at the same time. I think that it was the pain felt by that beam Magneto shot at Tetsuo after he took control of that big bang. I know this adds nothing really, but I wanted to share.

[@ericfieldsjr.3515]

This was beautifully heartbreaking, and well animated.

[@gc3k]

Tetsuo was too unstable even before his powers were activated so it's hard to tell how powerful he really is. It's like Batman "winning" a fight with Superman because punching Batman into pink dust isn't in his character

[@justincarbaugh596]

I could imagine Magneto carrying Tetsuo down when he killed him like how Superman did to Goku

[@skybattler2624]

Nothing can beat something that manages to tank the Phoenix Force, which is capable of destroying multiple universes, using the magentic field of a single planet.

[@BartholomewTheIII]

Although the thing is, it is unstable, Tetsuo could barely control it to it's true potential, while Magneto has 100% fully control of his own ability and actually has superb experience due to him using it at a very young age and fighting the Xmen and many others for decades.

[@iancomtois9832]

@@skybattler2624 Being able to do that indicates that Magneto can intensify any magnetic field with no appreciable limits. As long as he has a body, he has essentially infinite power. Of course, he's not going to go all out in every encounter with foolish mutant kids, so he took his time ramping up. It would be possible for him to lose if he misjudged how fast Tetsuo's powers continually increase.
