I feel like Wolverine’s adamantium probably shouldn’t be ferrous, and if that’s the case he wouldn’t be magnetic, right?
Non-ferrous metals are still subjected to forces in the presence of changing magnetic fields through a combination of Lenz's Law and the Lorentz Force.
It's why when you drop a magnet through a copper pipe it falls slower than it would in open air.
His powers in the comics were explained that he controls magnetic fields or something.
I can’t remember the exact details, but for a while he and Rogue were able to have a physical relationship by projecting a thin magnetic field around himself, so he can pretty much do whatever. 🤷🏻♂️
I also can’t remember if that was 616 or an alternate universe.
Controlling magnetic fields he couldn't physically move non ferrous metals, but he could sure cause a lot of energy to be dumped in due to induction. Essentially cooking wolverine, and then melting his adamantium into a pile instead of being bone/blade shaped
Edit: yep spoke before I thought... and learned something new about frogs lol. Non ferrous are just not attracted to magnetic fields.
I immediately knew what that would be and I was not disappointed
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
you can move non ferrous metals with magnetic fields

Yeah I dunno, I explained the extent of what I understand. I don’t really get it either, but that doesn’t really matter. He can manipulate any metal.
Although I do like your other ideas for uses of his power!
Yeah, I assumed that the master of magnetism would know a few tricks when it comes to laying pipe.
Doesn't seem to be an issue for Magneto.
Magnetism technically has nothing to do with metals in general, only unpaired electrons. For example, Oxygen can be magnetic in the form O2 and this can be demonstrated while it is in liquid form.
Wait so air is stronger near a magnet ?
What do you mean, "stronger"? Air doesn't get steroids from magnets. It doesn't even lift, bro.
I thought it was obvious I meant has more oxygen. You know.. the thing in air that matters to us humans.
Magneto controls all metals from what I understand, even stuff like gold.
Magnetic fields, which is part of electromagnetism. He can directly influence one of the fundamental forces of the universe. Magneto is definitely one of the strongest mutants.
If he'd learn to do things besides bend and move metal, he'd be able to do almost anything depending on how acutely strong of a field he could make. With how field lines snap in the sun and make for huge discharges of charged particles, I think Magneto would be able to do a lot even without making hugely powerful fields if he'd learn some science.
In some stories he does pretty bonkers shit. I know for a fact he makes a meteor fall on Earth in one story, and if I'm not mistaken, learns to become invisible in another.
He can also hypnotise people with his magnetic personality.
This, but unironically - he can change electrical brain patterns.
If he got one of those demagnetizing things and rubbed it all over his body .... then he'd be able to fight Magneto.
