Using all of his magnetic powers Magneto tore Apocalypse apart.
On paper, Apocalypse is much stronger, possessing a wider range of abilities including complete control of his body at the molecular level. This is why Apocalypse can change in size, and turn his body into various weapons.
Although the other answer did a good job in demonstrating the enhancement, Bryan Singer confirmed in an interview that Magneto's powers were enhanced by Apocalypse... "One of Apocalypse's many powers is he can imbue other mutants with greater ones," director Bryan Singer told EW.
Magneto is more experienced, more skilled, more trained, more hardened, and more effective against his opponent than Jean Grey (without the Phoenix Force) could ever be. And thus, he could kill her. Undoubtedly, Magneto could overpower Jean Grey without the Phoenix Force.
GEOMAGNETIC LINK TO THE EARTH
It lets him fly along the Earth's magnetic fields and lets him release electromagnetic pulses that can affect the entire planet. This attribute is so deeply ingrained in Magneto's being that is has stayed with him even through some pretty grueling and strange events in the comics.
Unlike adamantum, Magneto cannot manipulate vibranium – not if it's pure. Vibranium is a rare, extraterrestrial metallic ore. It has near-mystical properties that allow for energy manipulation and more. There is a Wakandan isotope and an Antarctic isotope, and both of them are completely unaffected by Magneto's powers.
Fandom. CAN MAGNETO LIFT THOR'S HAMMER? Yes,magneto can control magnetic fields not metals. So Marvel had revealed that Magneto can lift Thor's hammer.
1 Would Demolish Him: Magneto
Magneto could protect himself from Loki's attacks and throw all kinds of metal at him. Loki is rarely outclassed- but Magneto is his superior.
Archangel, who relied on his ability to fly, was a factor in beating Magneto. One would think that when he became Archangel, it would be easier for Magneto to beat him. However, even with the metal wings, Archangel was never defeated by Magneto.
She took down the Dark Phoenix
Scarlet Witch has the ability to resist the Phoenix Force and can cause pain to its hosts. When Cyclops killed Professor X, he took on the persona of the Dark Phoenix, forcing Wanda and Hope Summers to join their powers and take him down.
While both are said to be the most powerful mutants of their type, Magneto is Omega-level and Forge is not. This is because it is hypothetically possible to exceed the upper limits of Forge's power level—his upper limits have been surpassed by multiple humans.
Doom would win in a fight against Magneto. Magneto has prodigious power over magnetism which would grant him a great start. However, Dr. Doom would win as he has an unparalleled grasp of science and a powerful mastery of sorcery.
Franklin Richards is the most powerful mutant in the Marvel Universe. The History of the Marvel Universe #3 series chronicles the history of the Marvel worlds, from the Big Bang to the twilight of existence, attempting to answer some of the important questions fans have had over the years.
As Juggernaut is physically invulnerable, though, this wouldn't get Magneto far. He could try binding Juggernaut in massive pieces of metal, or by using means of magnetic enhancements to increase the force of his power.
Wolverine delivers what appears to be a killing blow to Magneto in New X-Men, but it is later revealed to not be him after all. In Ultimate X-Men, Wolverine stabs Magneto, but is flung through the air for doing so. Magneto ultimately defeated by Professor X after Quicksilver swoops in to remove his father's helmet.
Although Thanos would undoubtedly have the edge over Apocalypse were he to use the Infinity Gauntlet, without it, Thanos could very well meet his match. Though both are incredibly powerful and intelligent, Thanos is held back by his obsession with death, which would cause him to overlook some of Apocalypse's power.
Among Earth's most powerful mutants, Magneto's abilities are essentially limitless. He can manipulate all forms of magnetism, summon force fields and shoot electromagnetic pulses that can disable electronic devices.
Strength Level: Magneto can use his magnetic powers to increase his physical strength up through Class 100 (the ability to lift over 100 tons).
6 Could Defeat Him: Shazam
His body and powers are magical in origin, meaning that Magneto's best weapon (his ability to control the iron in a person's blood) probably wouldn't work on him and even if it did, Shazam could call down the kind of lightning bolts on Magneto that could shatter his forcefields eventually.
Ultron is made of metal. Magneto is the master of magnetism. It's pretty open and shut. Magneto's magnetic force fields would defend him indefinitely against Ultron's attacks and Magneto could throw Ultron around with magnetic abilities while pummeling him with all the metal around.
Iron Man is a character who is completely dependent on his technology, crafted from his metal-based tech. In theory, Magneto could just clench his fist and implode the suit through Tony's ribs. He can detonate the Arc Reactor right in his chest, burning a hole through him.
1 Spider-Man
Spider-Man may be fast and quick on his feet, but Magneto can cage him in a cage of metal, hit him with shards of sharp debris, or even tie him up in a metallic rope-like grip. Spider-Man doesn't possess the strength of someone like Superman, who'd be better placed at freeing himself from such a situation.
No, Magneto cannot lift Mjolnir due to the enchantment. But there is another reason for it too. Mjolnir is made up of a metal named Uru, which is exclusive to Nidavellir. Not by his hand, but since the magic of Thor's hammer is just behind science.
Magneto is able to hold Colossus at bay, freeze him in place or simply repel him great distances with apparently little effort.
This is reflected in the inscription on the side of Mjolnir, which states: Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor. For almost the entirety of Marvel continuity, this has exclusively been Thor.
