Can Dr. Doom resist Magneto’s mutant powers too?

Has Magneto demonstrated his powers extends beyond his defensive shields? In a "gunfight," if Magneto can't immediately disable Doom, and his shields limit the reach of his power, then an attack that forced Magneto to erect a shield would effectively allow Doom to resist Magneto's power. You see something like that in Star Trek where a ship will be unable to transport or launch torpedoes because they refuse to drop their shields.

Now if you're talking electromagnetic fields... you're into a completely different ballpark...

I don't think I've read anything explaining Magneto's powers in such a way as to cover everything he's done with it... Although, once he was described as being able to lift people due to the "iron in their blood" I finally thought "F$%$ it!" and just put it down to artistic licence...

Let's face it Comicbook Physics and real-world physics aren't the same thing.

So, if it would be cool to have Magneto shred Doom's armour (and theoretically Doom himself...) it could happen.

Alternatively, if it would be cooler for Doom's armour to be made from some kind of "inert" molecules (the opposite to the miraculous "unstable moleculesof the FF's costumes?) so that he could stand there, legs akimbo, arms crossed in the midst of a "magnetic storm", then that could just as feasibly happen...

Just non-magnetic...

Or made out of recycled aluminium cans.

...another comic bok fact, [psychic shielding] doesn’t affect his powers as they are a genetic ability to manipulate magnetic forces, he doesn’t just “control metal by will”, and he can’t use his powers to protect himself.

If you stay out of the rain, the speech you are genetically entitled to doesn't change the comic-book-fact that staying indoors is going to obstruct how you are heard from outside.

Your argument is counterintuitive to sense, comic book, spider, or otherwise. Magneto doesn't sprout nerve endings that attach to metal to realign the magnetic poles of its individual atoms to command it to do things. What is the challenge in in accepting his power is founded on a psychic component?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and has the right to voice that opinion, whether or not you agree with it, edc has as much right to come here and say who cares as we do of actually answering the question as if these people were real.

Joe. Scavenger is now actively trying to wind you up. And you're rising to the bait.

Scavenger. Not everyone's experience of comic book fandom is the same as yours. Geeks are not a nation and we don't need a spokesman. I love a who'd win argument as much as the next guy (and by the way, it is spelt who'd) but I don't feel that it is in any way important to my enjoyment of comics.

Now can everyone get along and play nice, or do I have to send you to opposite corners of the room?

Joe: pile on him.

He comes in to essentialy a ho’od win thread in Comics should be good, to say “they’re just comics, who cares!”

I’d think here more than anywhere is a celebration of pure geek joy of comics, of which, ho’od win is an important and traditional part."

Ahh, horseshit. He didn't say that. He said, "they're comics, enjoy them!" That's a huge difference from your parsing. And "who would win" arguments have nothing to do with any intrinsic comic experience I've ever had. I don't begrudge them but don't act like they're some fundamental structure of comics.

She's the second most powerful telepath on the planet after Professor X, but only because Jean Grey's dead.

If Magneto's helmet can protect him from Xavier, then it's not too much of a stretch to think that Doom can whip up something to protect himself from telepathy.

And yes, Magneto can resist telepathy beacause of his helmet, that's a strongly established comic book fact, it's the only reason he can resist telepaths, another comic bok fact, it doesn't affect his powers as they are a genetic ability to manipulate magnetic forces, he doesn't just "control metal by will", and he can't use his powers to protect himself.

Although, she probably would just turn to diamond and deck him though, while bitching that Doom's ruining her manicure probably.

Theno

People apparently really think highly of Dr. Doom. Weird.

The fact people think about him when not reading about him weirds me out.

On the other hand, I've never enjoyed him as a villain.

I wouldn’t sell Emma short. She might not be familiar enough with Doom to try a telepathic assault first, but then when Doom is standing there gloating at how feeble all telepaths are she turns to diamond and punches him through a wall.

That wouldn’t work either but it would be appropriate.

There's always the chance she could discover the hidden weakness to Doom's armor, only previously discovered by Luke Cage in his quest for two hundred dollars. That weakness, of course, being "punch him until he falls down."

Yes, he can.
