    As far as he can see or "sense"? That's what it seems like.

    The way I see it, Snow can kill any of the other three at the speed of thought, as can Susan. Magneto can kill Snow and Batman, but not Susan, since she can put a shield to block any projectiles he has. Susan can hide from the other combatants.

    Batman, well...Batman is fucked unless he has some way of neutralizing all three of them. It's pretty much a tossup between the other three though.

    Maybe Batman can run away and they'll all kill each other at the same time. :P

    So, can Snow detect Invisible Woman by sensing her body heat, the way Iceman can? For that matter, can Magneto find her by the iron in her blood? I'm inclined to say no, but what do other people think?
    As far as Batman goes, I can't think of a way for him to deal with an opponent who's a better detective than he is plus an opponent who's stealthier than he is, and both of whom can incapacitate or kill him with a thought. Oh, also Magneto. Who would tear Batman apart with the objects in his utility belt, if he didn't feel heroic enough to just cut off blood flow to his brain and knock him out, or decide to chuck him out of the ring.

    I have no idea if this is canon as far as comic book physics, but the iron in your blood is in the form of iron ions which are not affected by a magnetic field in the same way as iron metal. If they were then if you went in for a MRI scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) which uses a fuck off powerful magnet you would be ripped apart.

    Yes,... yes, I agree. It's totally unfair that sober you gets into trouble for things that drunk you did.

    Magneto has been showing affecting iron in people's blood before, so it just drops into that "comic book science" area. For example, Magneto paralyzed and depowered a large group of X-Men by cutting off blood flow to the parts of their brains that worked their powers, in the issue when Collossus became an acolyte.

    Sue could easily push a "huge pile of rubble" off of her with her forcefields, which she can move mentally.

    I haven't been following this contest or thread at all so, uh... If you could tell me what I'm supposed to be ashamed of, I'll get right on it. I remember talking about Magneto a bit a couple weeks ago, did that have terrible consequences?

    I brought a question into the voting thread. Yes, quite the travesty and clearly a mark of retardation. Did all of the posts looking the same turn you on or do you just like being a dramatic ass?

    Like I said, I haven't been following this thing. I saw the thread with all the votes and wanted to ask a question. I now see that they are separate, hoop dee doo. Talking about the topic of the thread, imagine my audacity.

    The voting thread is essentially that. Its not a chat thread. There are 2 exsistig thread for each fight and this one about the tournament in general if you have a question. Its not hard.

    For a minute Magneto almost took first. Batman kept above water up until the last voter. I voted for Namor last but I'd also be fine with him coming in second.

    I see that. It was a question about what I can consider when voting. So if I have a question about the voting thread, I should go to the discusion thread? Give me a break.

    The first post in the voting thread states that votes and only votes should go in that thread to make it easier to count. I'm guessing you read that post since you came to the conclusion that it didn't hold the answer to your question.

    General questions is the reason we have this thread.

    I love the guy but he really doesn't have a chance. Snow is about as smart as him and the others aren't stupid. He has now way to prepare for all three of them within the course of an hour. Especially because he's never met any of them before.

    Batman is fucked.

    Also Joon: You made a mistake. I'm sorry if I was too hard on you but, if you really look at the thread, you have to admit it was a pretty stupid move.

    Well "Freezing his brain in less than a second without effort or even knowing where Magneto is" DOES seem a bit overpowered.

    It's not so much Snow we're calling overpowered, but this God of a man you're portraying him as in every fucking post you make.

    When did I say he didn't have to know where magneto was?

    People are making magneto into God, which he isn't, based on all of his appearences in X-Men. Even Xorneto, on KICK, isn't as powerful as the ridiculous shit people are describing based on some random internet blogger.

    People didn't like Snow because he wasn't mainstream, so they're just making stuff up about magneto to vote snow down with.

    I posted my source for all my magneto information, its in the Wiki.

    As for Snow, really dont believe he would have a chance to win this at all. Nothing anyone arguing for him said indicated he has any ability to detect stealthy or invisible opponents, so he goes last for me just based on that alone. Plus, he has no form of self defense.

    well, if Magneto was a vampire I would have voted for Snow, because of that scene with Dracula everyone posted.
