Mutant Abilities

 * Magnetokinesis: Erik is an immensely powerful mutant, easily one the greatest on the planet; thus far, only few have been shown to be stronger, such as his daughter, Wanda Maximoff. He is capable of generating and manipulating all forms of magnetism to achieve a variety of grandiose and devastating effects.
 * Metal Manipulation: At a low level, Magneto can effortlessly launch pieces of metal like bullets, alter projectile trajectories of bullets, and even manipulate the standard mechanics of tool. For grander feats, he can easily lift, immobilizing, and crumble giant structures like. His precision with this power also allows him to launch countless projectiles in rapid succession and maintain the structural integrity of his targets. Likewise, he is able to perform several feats at once, despite the amount of concentration required. He can also forcibly extract the metal within a target, though killing a living target (albeit Magento may have intentionally killed the guard out of spite).
 * Flight: Erik can fly by gliding on the magnetic fields he creates, or by having metal on him and moving with it. Alternatively, he can also draw himself to metal, as he did board a moving train.
 * Metal Sense: Magneto is able to sense the presence of metals in his environment, as they are crucial for the effective use of his powers.
 * Force-Field Projection: Erik is able to conjure a vast shield of magnetic energy, he uusually protects himself with this personal force field that he can quickly expand to protect large areas. His force field has withstood the effects of multiple nuclear weapons, volcanic eruptions, the depths of space, and attacks.
