Retrieved November 23, 2025, from https://www.reddit.com/r/AskScienceFiction/comments/4do2or/marvel_can_magneto_generate_lightning/The answer is, of course, yes. If Magneto can control electromagnetic fields, then he can toss around lightning as effectively as Thor himself. As Faraday (and others) demonstrated, the magnetic effect and electricity are, in fact, a unified force. In other words, two sides of the same coin. Stepping outside the fourth wall for moment, I think this ability would make him massively OP, even for the comics. So he "cannot" wield lightning.Gaddis, J. L. (1987).
