Well, if he did die, then his daughter would freak out and make everything null and void...and probably REALLY fucked up.
Could a sniper kill Magneto?

He couldn't stop the bullet with magnetism anyway, unless it was armour piercing, as bullets are non magnetic metals called...Wait for it...Lead?

Ok from reading some info from previous comments apparently Magneto has more power to manipulate various elements rather than just metal, and his radius is practically covers the entire world. According to the comic books anyway... Basically it allows him to detect when someone merely has the intention to kill him or something along those lines :/
No idea he was suppose to be THAT powerful.
Regardless, biological warfare should do that trick. Poison the food supplies of an entire state

Eh, read his "powers"-section in Wikipedia. He's pretty OP.Meatramen said:I think I just got my new favourite mutant... Although I was all ready leaning towards him after watching X-Men First Class.Realitycrash said:Another way in which Magneto frequently uses his power is the projection of force-fields which selectively block out matter and energy. These fields are strong enough to withstand the detonation of multiple thermonuclear weapons; hence Magneto is invulnerable to most harm when surrounded by his shield and can survive in deep space thanks to it.Meatramen said:Since I am no real X-men geek, except for like... The old cartoon and some movies, I did not know those things. ^^ I guess if he is that powerful my argument would be quite invalid.Nasty_Taco said:Magneto gains regular old TK in the comics, so he can move metal and alot of other stuff as well... So he might have a better chance of stopping that non-metal bullet.Meatramen said:Depends, he is aware that a lot of people hate him, so he might have a strong magnetic field around him at all times... However they could make the bullet out of something other than metal and BOOM, headshot.
OT: The man's amazing. He can fly through space, create portals to different dimensions and lift a 30,000 ton nuclear sub out of the water. I don't think he'll be killed by a simple sniper.
From Wikipedia.
As long as he is awake, I think he's going to project those shields, especially at such a low rate to repel a single bullet.
Killing him is most likely only doable like that in his sleep..Though maybe he subconsciously projects?
Fun fact: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetism - The strongest of the four fundamental interacting-forces in the universe.
If he can deflect a nuclear explosion, he can deflect a diamond bullet. It's clear that it's more of a "forcefield" than a "magnetic deflector".Viral_Lola said:Lead is a metal.

If he is unaware of the bullet then yes, he would know that there was a bullet until it hits him, the it is too late.
epic comment..then again he had gravity bullets...Tesral said:This reminds me of that bit in Final Fantasy 8 with the worlds worst assassin, Irvine Kinneas.Kapol said:Pretty much this.

I guess if he can only survive all those bullets by actively deflecting them, rather than passively tanking them like, say, Superman would, a surprise attack could work.
I rmemeber once that some x men comic nerd (and thats not even the right word, this guy was obsessed to the point of it was actually harmful to him) who had been into the serious since it first came out (I didnt know the guy, so I had to take his bragging at face level) was saying something like this a few years back after third x men movie came out and how magneto was invincible.
Then some kid around my age at the time reference Elfin Lied, and that a tungsten bullet fired at a high enough speed at the just right range would kill him, because eventually he would have to sleep, and even if he didnt, he would have gaps in the defense.
and the former just didnt have a response other then what boiled down to "nu uh, im right your wrong, im not listening anymore lalalalalalalalalalalalalala"

It doesn't matter. He can't remain dead while inside the Earth's electromagnetic field.Brawndo said:

OT, I'm pretty sure if that's the case, the sniper would have to have a diamond bullet or something, so it would be not metal but still strong enough to pierce his helmet thing.
Then you have to ask yourself, 'where do we draw the line on how far his powers go?'.crepesack said:
If he has master of all magnetic fields (even the small and largely negligable ones) then surely he can just tear apart and destroy anything (metal or otherwise) which would effectively mean that he would be capable of destroying and manipulating everything.
If he's limited to just the conventional magnetism that we're all familiar with in school and on a day-to-day basis then his powers should only be limited to substances made of (or including somewhere in their compasition) the previously mentioned four substances.
Either he's stupidly powerful to the point that he's essentially like Pheonix in the third X-Men film (read: able to disintergrate everything with the power of her mind) or his powers only work in specific situations depending on whether his enemies are dumb enough to not remember year 3 science.
The problem is reaction time. He could sense the bullet, but it would take longer to put up a magnetic field than it would for his brains to be removed from his head.The_root_of_all_evil said:
a non metal bullet that will hold together through 2k and (presumably) the barrett which fired it?Meatramen said:Depends, he is aware that a lot of people hate him, so he might have a strong magnetic field around him at all times...

He doesn't need to put up a field though, that's just showmanship. All he needs to do is alter local gravity/magnestism a fraction, with just a thought, for a long range shot to miss.ultrachicken said:
He also has the helmet (which is non-ferrous and armoured)
And he's smart enough to have a minor deflection field up at all time.
If you tranquilised him first, then you've got a good shot at it - but comics/RPGs in general avoid the sniper bullet for this very reason. A .50 calibre shell striking someone's head would remove the entire body part - and could be fired accurately from a quarter of a mile away.
But they were trying to get Fidel Castro for over 50 years and he's only got a cigar to hide behind.
Peter Parker's web fluid is stronger than tensile steel and non-ferrous. Captain America's shield/Wolverine's Claws...not a difficult job in the Marvel Universe.HotFezz8 said:
