Iron Man Vs. Magneto: A Look At The Outcome
Iron Man and Magneto have clashed in Marvel Comics. One artist recently depicted the reality of the fight and it is not good for Iron Man. The art showcased Magneto using his powers to crush Iron Man's iconic suit into nothing more than a square of scrap metal that he's able to easily toss aside. Iron Man is at a serious disadvantage, as Magneto has absolute control over the entire magnetic spectrum and Iron Man's suit, as the name implies, is largely made of iron.
While readers might assume that Magneto would easily destroy Iron Man, Tony Stark has actually managed to put up a surprising fight in the past. During their only major fight in AvX, Iron Man only wins because Magneto decides to surrender mid-fight. This decision is due to circumstances that are entirely unrelated to Iron Man, despite Tony truly trying to hit Magneto with everything he had. It's a completely hollow victory, and Iron Man knows it.
Iron Man And Magneto Seem Like A Truly Terrible Combination
There's no denying that Iron Man is a genius, one of the most brilliant minds on Earth, but brilliance isn't always enough to win a fight. The few times Iron Man has gone up against Magneto, he's had to use everything he has just to hold his own. Tony Stark has even had nightmares of the day he might have to face off against a Magneto who isn't holding back. In Invincible Iron Man #17 by Gerry Duggan and Patrick Zircher, Iron Man has a nightmare of Magneto burying him alive inside of metal. This nightmare gives off the same sense of fear and dread that Bosslogic so expertly captures in the Fanart of Magneto destroying Iron Man's iconic suit. The most powerful thing Iron Man has, that he's known for, is easily crumpled and tossed aside by the Master of Magnetism.
The most powerful thing Iron Man has, that he's known for, is easily crumpled and tossed aside by the Master of Magnetism. Iron Man is a genius, and he has a powerful suit, but in this case, it won't be enough to overcome Magneto's powers.
Iron Man Continually Has Nightmares Of Magneto
With so many different characters and varied powers in the Marvel Universe, it's not hard to imagine a fight between two characters where one is just hopelessly outmatched by the other. Magneto is one of the most powerful mutants alive and has regularly taken down other heavy-hitter Marvel characters like Wolverine. While Iron Man is by far one of the smartest people on the planet, that intelligence simply pales in comparison to the power Magneto has. While it hasn't been seen in the comics yet, fans know that if Iron Man and Magneto ever fought for real, there would be a clear winner.
The fight between Magneto and Iron Man would most likely be very short. Iron Man simply has no way to defend against Magneto's powers. While Magneto has been defeated before, and has shown a willingness to work with humans in the past, he is often driven by anger and hatred. If he chose to fight Iron Man, the outcome would likely be grim for Tony Stark.
Iron Man and Magneto: Two Sides Of The Coin
Anthony "Tony" Edward Stark, AKA Iron Man, is a Marvel Comics superhero who has enjoyed several years of the spotlight and has become a mainstay in several Marvel media franchises. After suffering a critical injury, Tony creates a specialized armored suit powered by an arc reactor, which keeps him alive. Egotistical but good-hearted, Tony utilizes his super intellect and inventions to fight to protect humanity from various threats, eventually becoming a founding member of the Avengers. In 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was kicked off with the film Iron Man, which starred Robert Downey Jr. as the superhero.
The oldest and best-known adversary of the X-Men, Magneto has been a part of Marvel Comics since the mutant team was introduced. Bearing powers over magnetic fields, he views mutants as superior to normal humans, and aims to build a world where humans are dominant. The only thing stopping him is Professor X and his team of heroes.
