    You forgot Armor. I'd imagine at full strength, Legion would have the edge. Maybe Cable if he weren't dealing with the technovirus. Magneto's powers wax and wane so much, there's no telling. Storm has a shield power?

    I'm picking the Omega we've seen using her shield. has to be Rachel. Legion would be close, but too hard to tell, and Exodus' powers change on whether he's being a legit threat or a jobber.

    Yes, She does have a shield she came a air pressure dome that can punch through mountains, and make a lightning field that can protect her from tk.

    Magneto and Polaris obviously... and why Emma Frost is not here?

    Can someone post a panel where Storm is using a shield? If not I would say otherwise. Using her lightning to block is not a shield. I had never seen her in a bubble shield. Oh pls people give it up with Storm, because "ya" think she's everything and she's not. To pick Storm I rather pick Emma Frost who her diamond form protect her as a shield.

    Exodus and Magneto from the OP.

    Being powerful doesn't mean they have strong shields if not established on panel (Magik, Cable, Legion, Iceman), but if they did I'd like to see some scans.

    That's not a shield. Just like Storm used air pressure under the water (unrealistically). I can guaranteed you bullets can go through her "air shield" because it's not a strong shield. Storm don't do or used Shield. Didn't use it with Magneto or in any other combat. Storm shouldn't be on this list, period.

    Lets see .. Storm used a pressure dome as protection against debris. That's all I got, maybe I missed something. Imho I would say Legion.

    @noctum: She also used the same pressure dome to punch through a mountain, and created a Jovian pressure field to contain a small nuke. You think bullets can make it through? She hasn't used pressure as her own personal shield since because it would make her too hard to beat, her low durability is the only way for her to lose.

    Rachel and Psylocke once combined their TK and projected a shield over Manhattan to deflect a Shi'ar death ray.

    This was the only time using a "pressure dome" it's not the same thing as a shield like Magneto, Polaris, Emma Frost, Iceman, Skids, Hellions and all those who should be here on the list. Storm was never shown using "shield" because she doesn't use them, like... ever. This is not a shield like those I mentioned above.

    Well, yes, current Magneto STILL use his shield as I've seen in Uncanny X-men #3 and that was yesterday my friend. Magneto always use his shield. This was not a retcon or something to think or believe he doesn't use it. Storm is the one who doesn't and never did.

    @noctum:

    Well it's not that hard to figure out. She is already immune/resistant to all elemental attacks, and highly resistant to telepathy so giving her a shield would make her neigh unstoppable. Imagine her making a category 5 hurricane and her flying in the middle of it with a pressure dome, almost nothing could touch her. Every time she is beaten it is by a knockout because she can't be overloaded with energy/electrical attacks and they need to keep her alive. If she was a villain they probably would have continued with it. She is still very capable to make a pressure dome.

    The creator of the thread said: in their present or latest state. Therefore Storm's one time personal pressure dome counts, and she could potentially make it as strong as she did with the Jovian pressure field. It is not the strongest on the list, but deserves to be on here.

    Emma's diamond form doesn't count as a shield, or at least doesn't fit with the kinds of shields the rest of these characters can make.

    They meant that Magneto at one point had the strongest shield, but might not anymore. Your last point is moot.

    I never said Magneto didn't use a shield. His powers are still damaged due to the events of AvX.

    @imbroken: @shepardoakenprime: Magneto is not the weakest one here. Magneto's powers are not weak anymore or prob you didn't read his solo book. Storm is the weakest one because she doesn't create shield and not even in every fake wiki you'll see this confirmed. She don't belong here, period. Oh pls people Storm don't create shield and that panel it's so old that prob was retconned because no other writer ever depicted Storm creating shield (ever since that old panel and that's not even a shield anyway). Emma Frost's Diamond form IS a shield. Nothing can hurt her while in this form and it's just like a shield. This was depicted in Wolverine and the X-men's film when she use her Diamond form to protect the mutants from the bullets. So, yea, Emma Frost belong here. It's STORM who doesn't.

    Nobody is saying Magneto is weak. Storm created a pressure dome that counts as a shield period. The panel still counts especially in this thread, notice you are the only one complaining about it. Emma fits more with Colossus yet you are not complaining that he isn't on here, they change forms, they don't generate shields like these characters. When she does things like that she is using her body as a shield to protect others.

    That doesn't count as a shield, period. The panel doesn't count especially since it was only one time and was not a shield to begin with. Emma doesn't fit more with Colossus because she use her shield to protect herself whereas Colossus uses it for stamina and super strength. So, no, I don't think. That's why Im not complaining and just because they both change forms, doesn't mean they both use it for the same thing. Storm don't create a shield, period. One time in one single panel it's trivial.

    Nothing can paste through Magneto's shield. He wasn't prepare or expecting for what Vision had in mind and ya didn't post the next panel where Magneto attacked him back. Oh Pls....

    And for those of you who keep saying I don't know nothing it's making ya look
