New Champ missing major tag

How is Sam Wilson CA not #metal. He is not any different in general makeup to Archangel. Metal wings which should allow Magneto to do what Magneto does. I know there are "comic" oversights like the Ghost Rider/incinerate discussion, but this is simply poor tagging of a champ. Can someone from Kabam please explain why Sam Wilson doesn't have metal tag when the whole basis for what made him a new character is metal?

    Look at any other champ that’s armor is vibranium, they are not #metal. Comics have both situations where magneto can or can’t control vibranium. As it stands now, vibranium is not a ferrous Metal so magneto is powerless unless it is an alloy with sometime like adamantium. Examples like killmonger, black panther, captain America.

    You are making up things.

    You don't know for sure he was meant to have a specific tag. You can't figure it out purely by just looking at the character, or by going with information from sources outside of the game.

    Hey there, just wanted to confirm that it is intentional that this Cap doesn't have the #Metal tag because his upgraded gear is made out of his Vibranium, similar to both versions of Black Panther, Killmonger, and Cap (IW). This is also why his new sig is called "Vibranium Enhanced Exo-8 Falcon". Magneto is only able to manipulate the ferrous metals of the Battlerealm, which Vibranium isn't, so not giving these champs the #Metal tag is how we denote that they aren't affected by his powers.

    Knew the shield was, didn't realize the wings were. But VisionAoU is made out of Vibranium per same canon source (MCU) and is #metal, so still Kabam logic.

    Thank you for clearing this up, but what about this ^^ ?
    I’ve assumed it’s because of the fact he was introduced so early in this game

    Update: Misty Knight tagged as metal and her arm is made of "Antarctic Vibranium" according to her Mcoc bio. So again just pointing out that Kabam is literally making this up which is fine, just wish they would own up to the inconsistency they show from time to time. They didn't want Mags to counter Sam Wilson, thats really the answer.

    Her arm is made using an alloy of Antarctic Vibranium.

    Antarctic Vibranium is the opposite of Wakandan Vibranium. So if if Wakandan Vib isn't magnatized... Antarctic Vib would be.

    Neither are magnetic at base as neither are ferrous. It’s considered an opposite as it’s an anti metal. However, her arm is actually an alloy of Antarctic Vibranium making it magnetic (unless this has changed from the comics)

    Basically AOU bio says adamantium which seems inconsistent with this form and should be vibranium

    That's classic Ultron not the MCU version

    This is the answer. In comics magneto has been able to pull out iron from blood - that'd be too OP in a game like this. It is what it is. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn't but it's their universe, so yo have to go by their logic.

    Just glad they finally made GR incinerate immune after so many years.

    Exactly, same reason why countless other champs have missing tags which don't make any sense, like Sym Supreme/Black Order not being a villain(s)

    Once ago I made a similar observation with sentinel and kabam answered me this.



    I guess it's a great answer so may be the clear your doubts
