Brago vs Magneto

[big_adventure]

Well, I'd say the feat is fair but high-end for Erik. He specifically stated that he could sense the particular metal involved, he was highly motivated since he was trying to prove he was not a douchbag. All of that said, it's not a speedfeat in the traditional sense - he used his rather awesome powers to pick up a totally unique material that he stated to have "tagged" the first time that it passed. The fantastic power feat part is that he managed to bring back in a few days a planet-buster object that had been moving at superluminal speeds for months. The facts that he had days to plan the arrival, however, is what makes this decidedly not a combat speed feat.

I typically give Magneto low-mid bullet-timer speed with his powers - he has plucked bullets out of the air (not shielded them, but caught them) enough times that I'm willing to go there. I think that most people agree, in general.

Not especially. Plenty of threads have involved noting Magneto at human reaction time, and enough things with Magneto and bullets can involve them running into magnetic fields he has set up that I'm unwilling to especially go there for something consistent to him.

It did? I thought it changed trajectory.

Looking at the scans you posted, I am seeing it as Magneto unmaking the bullet. He redirected is towards Earth. Once the bullet is on head on collision to the x-men, we get their reaction shots, which means Magneto is slowing it down otherwise it would have already crashed on earth.

Then again, I stopped reading Uncanny more or less around that time because I couldn't stand Land's art and Fraction's writing.

Magneto kneeling in front of Scott is just wrong.

So, Erik destroyed the bullet while at the same time pulling Kitty out of there right as it was flying overhead.

Wouldn't that make it even more impressive?

EDIT:

Being able to do so for a long period of time and then dragging it into the right trajectory to reach Earth and then destroying it, I mean. The fact that he can perceive something moving at FTL is crazy in of it self.

Man, what do you have against the concept of slowing down? Did it murder your parents after a showing of Mark of Zorro?

I'm sure the other explination of anyone who noticed it themselves being crazy FTL works fine.

Damn straight it did. It murdered my puppy and violated my wife too. I will never forgive it for I AM THE DARK KNIGHT!

Also, doesn't change the fact that he can perceive it from gods knows how far away from Earth and fly it to the place he wanted to.

We don't want to be biased now do we? Oh, you know what else we should do? Dismiss Thanos's FTL reactions. Heck, that was a long time ago anyway. No, wait. There's nothing that exists to contradict it.

The best part is that you're trying to counter Thanos' lightspeed reactions with a scan of him being knocked around by Spider-Man and Eric Masterson Thor.

The dude that treats Silver Surfer's best attacks like spring breeze and barely bleeds when a Power Gem bearing Thor Odinson in full Warrior's Insanity Mode wallops him in the face.

Spider-Man.

Spider-Man vs. Firelord, I'd like you to meet Spider-Man vs. Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet

Yes, Yes, Yes.

It still doesn't change the fact that Thanos has other presentations that discredit that theory and the very idea that he gets FTL reactions because of fights with other characters is contradictory to the very nature of debate here.

For god's sake man, I can still remember their SCREAMS.

It echos on the blackboard of my mind like an exploding donkey with nothing to lose. Why?! Why did it have to be them?!

WHY GAWD?! WHY DID YOU TAKE MY FAMILY?!

Not... really as far as comics go. Various people have senses that operate on a scale of being able to detect fast moving things or things that are really far away. That doesn't translate in comics to "can react to things going multiples of light speed."

It doesn't help that the thing is 10 miles long, and apparently he "tagged" it before when it passed through, and he has a special affinity for the stuff it is made out of.

The fuck happened in this thread?

The story of my family being horribly murdered by the "concept of slowing down." A tragedy of monumental proportions, without a doubt.

Still remember it like it was yesterday. Also, I am Batman.

Somebody beat a joke to death and then they continue to burn the corpse.

That's one of the things that happened.

That's pretty much the same thing as reacting to something if you have a power or power(s) that are not restricted by your movement speed (i.e telekinesis) or in this case electromagnetism. If you can think fast enough to clearly perceive something moving that fast then why can't you whip out those abilities at a similar speed? Just think it and there it is.

Wasn't it also established officially that Magneto's reflexes are beyond a normal humans? So, I don't see how something like that would contradict his presentation.

Anyway, it's not that will change anything because the consensus has been made by the powers that be even before the thread really started.
