Representative Magno (Ace)
Electromagnetism is a strange beast. It’s one of the four fundamental forces of nature, the others being gravity, the weak nuclear force (radioactive decay), and the strong nuclear force (binds atoms together). In “Real Life” it’s not at all as powerful as superpowers portray them in fiction. How powerful this is varies. These characters if too powerful can just fold their arms and let their “Powers Do the Fighting” and will never even have to touch you themselves. They’ll be floating in the air, levitating steel girders around, and lobbing them at you, and while those normally weigh tons they do this with just a flick of their hand. Plus being able create extra appendages with spare junk lying around… Sometimes characters with these powers will be fully electromagnetic and can manipulate electricity as well. This is far broader than just simple magnetism because now their arsenal of abilities includes control of plasma and radiation. Depending on how much they know about the science of magnetism, they may have won the “Superpower Lottery”, as this could give them the power to, to an extent, manipulate the other three forces of nature — bending light (possibly giving them cloaking powers), or being able to disassemble the very atoms that make up an object… ~ Magnetism Manipulation – TV Tropes
