Iron Man's Anti-Mutant Armor Proves Why Magneto Could Never Beat Him
Even though their paths rarely cross, it seems like a no-brainer that in a fight between Iron Man and Magneto, Tony Stark would be easily defeated since Magneto's mastery of magnetism would allow the mutant villain to crumple up Iron Man into a ball of twisted metal and mutilated flesh. However, that seemingly obvious outcome couldn’t be further from what would actually happen if Magneto and Iron Man fought, and Iron Man’s anti-mutant suit proves why.
Upon his debut, Erik Magnus Lehnsherr aka Magneto was a mutant extremist who worked tirelessly to usurp humanity’s grip on the world so that mutants could rise to power and become the ruling species on Earth. In his effort to establish mutant supremacy by way of widespread terrorist attacks, Magneto uses his Omega-level mutant powers, which include the ability to manipulate metal, control the electromagnetic spectrum, and create force fields around himself–making him both incredibly dangerous offensively and nearly untouchable defensively. Tony Stark aka Iron Man is a human superhero who doesn’t have any powers. Instead, Stark uses his own originally-designed suits of high-tech armor to give himself the power he needs to stop any villain he comes across with his genius-level intellect granting him the foresight to be prepared for just about every possible scenario.
