In the original Handbook, it was posited that Magneto might be living proof of a Unified Field Theory, because he could do things that weren't strictly related to manipulation of metal. Mags is one of the Marvel characters whose power i'd like to have were such a thing possible. It's range of uses, offensive/defensive capabilities, and sheer power are impressive. Others whose abilities I covet would include Storm (that lightning/tornadic wind ability is devastating), Graviton (like Magneto, vastly powerful, and able to warp spacetime due to his power), and Sue Storm (that forcefield power has way more potential than shown even to this point)

If the Theory of Everything that's been posited by studies holds true, then Mags' magnetic powers should be able to do something with them. But then, it's something I've never considered, being more an FF fan than an X-fan. Your E-mail and More On-the-Go. Get Windows Live Hotmail Free. Sign up now.
