We've seen Storm create electromagnetic fields. But why haven't we ever seen her create an electromagnetic field around a metal object and manipulate the electromagnetic energy, which will then cause the object to move or bend? Which is why I asked, why haven't we seen Storm bend metal?
She should be able to indirectly manipulate metal, since she is One, electrokinetic, Two, it takes an electrokinetic to manipulate the spin of the electron in the atom, Three, direct where the current goes, and Lastly, to act as a conductor that pushes and pulls electrons in objects near them to make them move from their orbit, which is exactly what magnets do if you put anything metal near them. So the mechanics behind magnetism wouldn't necessarily be outside of Storm's powerset or difficult for her to pull off.
Regardless of how Storm's powerset is portrayed differently from Magneto's, physics is still physics. And in physics ferromagnetic materials can be moved or manipulated if there is an electromagnetic field near it. Because ferromagnetic materials have a subatomic particle occurring in the nuclei called proton. The electrons from the electromagnetic field are attracted to the protons, thus creating a magnetic connection between the two.
Any science nerd/writer care to add their concerns?
