Either way, it's moot, as all radiation is electromagnetic. With one pulse of gamma waves, Magneto would be able to kill anything living around him. Anything. Including your argument.
Is mags really this powerful now in the comics? if so he really took a leap into mary-suedom. and when did he start being able to generate other types of radiation?
For about 15-20 years or so. You did read the post I made where it said that he can manipulate gravity right? And that it's hinted that he controls the elemental energies that make up all matter? Also stop using buzzwords like Mary-Sue incorrectly. It makes you sounds stupid and renders your argument null. For the record Mary Sue is a fanfiction term. It originated in a Star Trek fan fiction. The new character (if you don't see her name coming I don't know what's wrong with you...) Mary Sue quickly became the most beloved member of the crew. She was better at everything then everyone else, and saved the day by dying heroicly. All the main characters mourned her. It was a parody of poopy fanfiction characters being inserted into fanfics and being better than everyone else.
Magneto is a canon character and the primary antagonist to an entire team of heroes he routinely fights by himself (Yes, he has had teams he lead in the past and present. No, he didn't always use them.), so he needs to be powerful to be a believable threat to the X-Men.
sorry, I have been using mary-sue a little sloppily. but still, that is power creep on par with super-ventrilaquism. If you cannot be a credible threat with out having complete control of matter and energy into the subatomic level, and the strongist will ever, that is just sloppy writing.
but I still hold with my first position. Mags wins unless yoda can mind trick him. so 70/30 split in magnetos favor
