Lol then Shouldn't BUCKY Barnes metal arm is also Non metal? It's made of Vibranium isn't it?

What he uses in the tournament is metal, only the arm he won from wakanda is vibranium

To keep the game balanced as determined by the game designers. Likely if every champ you think should be tagged Metal was tagged that way then Mags would not have been made the Metal counter that he is.

The game will never exactly reflect “reality”. Some champs will be in unexpected classes, lack expected immunities, etc. Just the way it is.

I believe in Marvel lore, Magneto can’t manipulate pure vibranium…so BP being immune to his magnetism in-game makes sense.

Vibranium is a nonferrous metal and therefore not magnetic

You're proving public education is at its lowest.

Magnetic materials are always made of metal, but not all metals are magnetic. For example, iron is magnetic, steel contains iron, so its also magnetic. Other metals, for example aluminium, copper and gold, are NOT magnetic.

So yeah, not all metals are magnetic.

In-game, others have already pointed out, Magneto can't manipulate vibranium.

"Unlike adamantum, Magneto cannot manipulate vibranium – not if it's pure. Vibranium is a rare, extraterrestrial metallic ore. It has near-mystical properties that allow for energy manipulation and more. There is a Wakandan isotope and an Antarctic isotope, and both of them are completely unaffected by Magneto's powers."

As far as i know, Mags cant magnetize Vibranium in this game

Bucky design is old, from comics, which his arm is made of common metal, hence why he can be magnetized

While Sam is designed from the Falcon and The Winter Soldier series on Disney+ (MCU), in which his suit is made of vibranium, gifted by the Dora Milage if im not mistaken

Thats why the old Skill Falcon can be magnetized

This is Winter Soldier era Bucky Barnes who has a metal arm that can be affected by magnetism.

You're thinking of the White Wolf Bucky Barnes that carries a vibranium arm gifted to him by Wakanda, it wouldn't be affected by magnetism.

I mean...even my 5 year old walks around with a small magnet and discovers that some metals are not magnetic.

Time for science. All metals are probably magnetic, but when most people talk about magnetism they are referring to ferromagnetism. Ferromagnetism is the kind of magnetic response behavior typified by iron and iron-like metals. They respond strongly to magnetic fields and are generally attracted to them. Most metals are not ferromagnetic.

Most metals that are not ferromagnetic are paramagnetic, such as aluminum. Paramagnetic materials do respond to magnetic fields and are very weakly attracted to them, but do not retain magnetic structure when external fields are removed. Typically, paramagnetic materials respond thousands of times weaker to magnetic fields than ferromagnetic materials.

The third kind of typical magnetism is diamagnetism. All materials exhibit a very tiny amount of diamagnetic properties, but this effect is almost always so small it is impossible to detect under ordinary conditions. The big exception being superconductors. Super conductors exhibit very power diamagnetic properties: they repel magnetic fields, thus all the superconductors used in levitating trains.

Vibranium has been established in the comics to be non-ferromagnetic. It does not respond to Magneto's powers, which are mostly ferromagnetic in portrayal. However, comic book writers being generally science-illiterate, have sometimes made mistakes, like when they showed Magneto pulling the hemoglobin out of someone's blood stream, on the assumption that if bulk iron is (ferro)magnetic, hemoglobin would also be. It is not. Iron *atoms* are not ferromagnetic, as anyone who played with magnets as a kid and tried to lift severely rusty things found out. Rust, which is just iron plus oxygen, is not ferromagnetic and doesn't respond to magnets.

If Magneto actually could harness magnetic fields strong enough to manipulate non ferromagnetic metals just as easily as he does ferromagnetic ones, those magnetic fields would probably be strong enough to rip the oxygen out of the water in people's bodies. He'd basically have the magnetic field of a neutron star. Which he has generally not been portrayed as possessing.

Bottom line: Vibranium doesn't respond to Magneto's powers in the comics, and the #metal tag was originally put in to implement Magneto's control of "metal." Vibranium is an exception to Magneto's control of metal in Marvel comics, so characters that primarily rely upon Vibranium do not have the #metal tag, even though they possess metal colloquially.

Just poking the bear here because I don't really care all that much, but why is Rocket Raccoon not metal? His guns, rocket pack, and parts of his skeleton are all metal are they not?

Short answer: Space alloys, they might be made of non-ferrous material.

Magnetic hemoglobin would really make a mess of an MRI, wouldn’t it?

You are wrong, super conductive material, does not have to be made of metal to produce a super strong magnetic field, i.e. ceramic tiles that are super cooled.
