Film Theory: How to KILL X-Men's Magneto!

With another mutant war on the horizon in X-Men Apocalypse, I thought it high time to start looking into the powers and weaknesses of these extra-normal humans and prep some strategies on how to handle some of the franchise's heavy hitters. And who better to begin with than the man himself - Magneto.

Matpat: “His strongest feat is lifting the golden great bridge.”
X-Men apocalypse: “So then we had magneto pull metal from literally everywhere on earth.”

Iron Man: * *Laughs in carbon nano tube armor* *

[daphnedherbert]

In the comics he can absolutely control all magnetism. He can even control the human bodies electrochemical signals, once freezing the X-Crew and stopping them from using their powers.

Wait a minute... is no one going to talk about how those bullets he was hit by and was saved by quick silver were ceramic???

[Saber]

Matpat, you're completely wrong dude.

1. Magneto can manipulate ferrous and non ferrous metals. He does this all the time in the comics. The dude can manipulate shit on an atomic level. Do some research.

2. In the scene with Quicksilver, the guns and bullets are all plastic.

[stuffandthings]

The reason Quicksilver had to save Magneto and the reason he got hot was because they were special plastic bullets, not metallic ones.

[eddiegreencheez]

Those bullets were specifically made with no metal, specifically to use against him. Master of magnetism but only one part, that's like somebody having super strength but only in one arm

wolverine stops bullets with his head.

[stevewondering]

iron man actually has a suit just for magneto

[Kasada]

I've always been under the impression that, despite his name, Magneto's power was "control of metal, " not *actual* magnetism. The problem he would have with bullets isn't a matter of magnetism or anything, it's a matter of reaction time. It's not like he has spider sense or something.

mattpatt should do a video where he finds the secret formula to the krabby patty

[theCodyReeder]

Dude ever hear of eddy currents? A 100 Tesla magnet can actually stop lead. And levitate water for that matter.

How do we stop him?
7:20 "That's easy, Bullets!"

[Ramblinmanmarv]

The term "full metal jacket" refers to the total covering of the lead core by a copper jacket. No gun fires a steel cased round. It would damage the steel of the barrels rifling. The steel cased ammo that is discussed is the cartridge of the ammunition not the projectile. There is a thing called steel core ammunition. This has a steel penetrator in the core of the round instead of the lead core that most bullets have.

The nickle cased rounds are also just the jacket of the cartridge, not the bullet itself.

[ahmodhoward]

X-men: you can't beat him with guns!
Matpat: anyway i started blasting

[Flirga]

I honestly thought he was going to say police officers use silver bullets at night for colonial protocols about werewolves.

[gunnerzessau]

Matpat: Talks about mutants
Also Matpat: shows a picture of Dr.Strange

[mtalhad]

Film theory : Wolverine can't control bullets, while magneto can!
Every Wolverine fan : Why do you think Wolverine needs to control bullets? He doesn't. That's the point.
