Depending on the whims of the plot, Magneto can alter pretty much anything with electromagnetism if he needs to. Some times though, he is defeated simply by exploiting his inability to directly control nonferrous metal or nonmetal objects. At the same time, he can throw lightning bolts, create shields, lift nonmetal objects with just electromagnetic force, etc.
It could be handwaved away by one of those "mental block" explanations. Magneto can only do what he actually believes he can do with his ability, and not what he "should be able to do" at any given time. They say this about a few people after realizing they wrote themselves into a corner by making a particular character way too powerful for the setting
i mean dump enough raw energy into electromagnetic force and it can do some crazy shit. i remember reading about the magnetic force of a magnetar is strong enough to basically disintegrate a human. or at lower levels stretch individual atoms into cigar shapes.
seems like a bad property for a super indestructible alloy to have
