marvel - How did Magneto successfully kill Sebastian Shaw?


In the X-Men: First Class movie, Charles and Erik team up to stop Sebastian Shaw aboard his submarine. Once exposed, Charles uses his powers to freeze Shaw. Erik uses his own powers to force the coin through Shaw's head, killing him.


But earlier in the movie, we saw demonstrations of Shaw's powers.


He survived grenade blasts, gunshots, RPG's and intended to detonate himself with the power of a nuclear blast - all by absorbing the energy and redirecting it as he saw fit.


How could a simple coin kill him?
