marvel - What are the limits of Magneto's magnetic field?



Is there any source about the strongest magnetic field Magneto can generate?


Currently the strongest magnetic fields in continuous use (a few Tesla, maybe up to around 10 Tesla) are strong enough to make a human feel dizzy if he runs through the magnetic field, as the nerves generate enough current due to the electromotive force. This means that a moving magnetic field a few orders of magnitudes stronger could incapacitate or even kill a human.


If Magneto can generate a magnetic field stronger than an MRI machine, he could incapacitate or kill people just by generating an alternating magnetic field, even if no metals are around. Was this ability ever addressed, or just is his "power" not strong enough for this?



Answer



For all intents and purposes, Magneto of Earth-616 has no effective upper limits to his magnetic powers. He is considered an Omega Class mutant, a mutant so powerful, his abilities can affect or even destroy the entire world. His powers are so great he has lifted a 30,000 ton submarine from the depths of the ocean, resisted the force of a nuclear detonation, manipulated electromagnetic fields to generate wormholes to travel through space, and even stripped the adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton, forcefully and painfully. His power defies almost all of the known physics of the Marvel Universe.


Drawing the adamantium from Wolverine


Drawing the adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton, yes the material that is supposedly unable to be affected by any normal force in the Marvel Universe once it has set...




  • Magnetokinesis: Magneto has a near-limitless control of all forms of magnetism, whether natural or artificial, to manipulate any metal. He can manipulate magnetic fields at the planetary level.





  • Generating Magnetic Force Fields: He is able to generate a forcefield capable of repelling forces equivalent to a nuclear attack. He has successfully defended himself against Thor and his hammer Mjolnir, Iron Man's impressive array of weapons and the wielders of the Phoenix force. He has single-handedly fought against entire teams of heroes and villains.




  • Magnetic Flight: By connecting himself to the magnetic field of the Earth, Magneto is capable of flight at supersonic speeds. He can also repel himself against the metals in the surface of a planet if the planet has no intrinsic magnetic field.




  • Molecular matter manipulation: His magnetic field manipulations are so powerful he can reorder the molecular structure of matter by manipulating the electromagnetic force bonds.





  • His control of his magnetic powers is so precise, he can manipulate the iron in a human's blood, causing aneurysms, strokes or heart attacks. He is even able to create a magnetic field strong enough to suppress the power of thought by suppressing the brain's electromagnetic field. It is likely the same magnetic field which makes him more resistant to psionic abilities.




This is not an all inclusive list of Magneto's powers, it is designed to simply give you a matter of comparison against a device such as an MRI machine; there is NO CONTEST.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
