I doubt that's within his power. In fact, since the thing is the energy-absorbing kind of vibranium, it might not be affected by magnetism at all.

I'd expected Namor and Dr. Strange to sit this squabble out, as they're now appearing together in Defenders. Would not enjoy being the leader responsible for battle srtategy against a team that includes the latter, Thor, and the Scarlet Witch.

	They're rather rare in Marvel aren't they? I mean sure Emma is available here to do so but aside from her who is there in Marvel? Professor X, Jean Grey, Rachel Summers, Moondragon... (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 7 comments) (Show 7 comments)

	Telepaths can be blocked by either the means of a helmet (similiar to Magneto's or Juggernaut, Psi-Shields and the several other methods that have been shown over the years. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	If he can twist around adamantium, he could do horrible things to Cap's shield. {Option #1: Suppository!) (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 20 comments) (Show 20 comments)

	While I agree that it's likely within Magneto's powers to affect the shield, I'm not sure he would be able to significantly deform it. Cap's shield is a lot stranger than adamantium (actually, on a molecular level, it's weirder than either Mjolnir or Silver Surfer, according to Owen Reese, who should know.

	Or just take control of the iron in Cap's blood and rip apart his insides. (Llorna knocked out EVERY X-person doing that once. If she can do it, Mags can.) Seems to me that the X-Men have more heavy hitters. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 7 comments) (Show 7 comments)

	Magneto did that to the Avengers back in the 70s, I think--he actually mind-controlled them by manipulating the blood in their brains. Which is a pretty stupid example of power creep, IMO. Cap wears scale mail armor around his upper body, that's much more obvious and plausible. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Wasn't his shield reforged with space (aka Asgardian) metal anyway post Fear, Itself; or am I being confused? So should we expect it to behave exactly the same it did in the past? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 4 comments) (Show 4 comments)

	"I'd expected Namor and Dr. Strange to sit this squabble out, as they're now appearing together in Defenders." Oh please, these are superheroes--they'll fight each other for almost any reason and yet they'll have each other over for coffee. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	To be fair, the Defenders isn't so much a team as an argument that occasionally points in the same general direction. But yeah, general sentiment agreed. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Fair enough. Namor and Stephen generally don't engage in more than verbal sniping against each other, though. I'd rather see them in the role of grumpy elder statesmen peacemakers once the kids start making a lot of noise with the fighting. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	You mean the current Defenders? Old Defenders were a team, at least once, hell Hulk considered Strang, Surfer and Namor his friend. That probably counted for something (at least until the sending him to space part). (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I'd trust Strange on this one. He'll be playing a middle of the road thing, probably to keep Wanda in control and figure out the phoenix. Aside from the whole Illuminati deal, he has been remarkably good at just being relatively reasonable. The only one I consistently really like after all the team v. team nonsense.
