Put the two of MCU’s masters of metal into a battle, the obvious question would arise: Who would win in a fight between Iron Man and Magneto? Besides the obvious Magnetism factor supporting the powerful mutant, Iron Man will certainly not be ready to wave the white flag.
Iron Man is one of the most intelligent heroes in the entire MCU with his futuristic defense mechanism to aid his prowess over other strongest heroes or villains. He can beat down the green giant, Hulk, or Thor who is blessed with Godly powers. But again, what would be Iron Man’s ploy against the extremely powerful natural ability of Magneto?
Iron Man vs. Magneto, Who Would Win?
It has been a question that fascinated MCU fans for a very long time. Magneto’s obvious powers are beyond Iron Man’s direct combat, but Tony Stark has lots of tricks in his arsenal, so the battle would be classic.
Iron Man foresees what might come in handy in a futuristic scenario, and he has created solid defense mechanisms to take down heroes and villains with god-level powers. He designed the Hulkbuster suit to counter Hulk, and with the Thorbuster armor, he can take down Asgardians. So, Iron Man can ditch his usual metal-based suit, replacing it with an anti-metal armor to take what Magneto throws on his way.
In Avengers vs. X-Men, Iron Man did exactly the same. He created an armor comprising carbon nanotubes. Now, Magneto can’t crush Stark inside his own suit. Still, Magneto is ahead of Iron Man with every aspect of his powers as he can turn anything containing metal into destructive weapons. Again, Stark is a hero unwilling to declare defeat. In the comic, he used repulsor blasts from every satellite he won.
While Magneto underestimated Stark in the beginning, he had to be defensive to protect himself from the blasts. Magneto destroyed the satellites, but it gave Stark ample time to throw a series of punches. There was no way he could defend Stark’s punches with concentrated force at the closet range.
Iron Man vs. Magneto Resurfaced Among Fans
In the animated series, Iron Man: Armored Adventures, the duo got into a fight again. This time, Stark used a different defense mechanism to counter Magneto’s power as he generated weaves to weaken the magnetic abilities of the mutant. Still, Magneto beats Iron Man twice in the episode. Stark had to call for help from War Machine and Jean Grey to stop the mutant. Now, as Foxverse’s Deadpool 3 is debuting MCU, fans have brought back the epic battle ahead of the release of the most anticipated MCU flick of the year.

Even Iron Man's Nano-Tech has metallic properties and magneto can control anything that contains even the smallest bit of metal so Iron Man stands no goddamn chance

Magneto's mastery over magnetism gives him a significant advantage against Iron Man's suit, which relies on metal components. However, Iron Man's suit is equipped with advanced technology and weaponry that could potentially counter Magneto's powers. Ultimately, it would be a…

Iron man, any other answer is wrong

Even in different scenarios, the battle between the two would not be as simple as it seems. Magneto has the obvious upper hand in every regard being one of the most powerful mutants, but Iron Man is a genius with access to almost everything on Earth and in the Solar System. Regardless, the fights have shown the true potential of the duo and what they have in their arsenals.
Deadpool 3 is scheduled to hit the theaters on 26 July 2024.
