Fight of the Day: Godzilla vs. Magneto

In one corner you have the King of Monsters himself, Godzilla!

In the other corner is the Master of Magnetism, Magneto!

****For reference I'm utilizing Magneto from the films, not the uber-power one from the comics****

This is actually one fight that I strongly feel would give Godzilla a run for his money. Dealing with somebody who can manipulate metal can create a lot of headaches for the King of Monsters.

For starters lets talk about offense. Magneto can literally take any piece of metal and make it into some of the deadliest shrapnel around. Any building surrounding him can become a halo of arsenal, as the steel beams down to the paper clips within the building can be used as projectiles. That's not even considering all the parked cars, the light poles, the metal signs, manholes, etc.

Each of these items (thrown at the right speed) would no doubt hurt/injure Godzilla enough to pierce his scaly skin.

Regarding defense Magneto can utilize those same objects to create a metallic shield around him, particularly if Godzilla decides to use his fire breath. A quick succession of thrown cars can knock Godzilla's fire breath off course.

(No electromagnetic shielding here as Magneto in the films never used one).

So throughout the fight I could imagine Godzilla avoiding much of Magneto's strikes by dodging in and out of buildings, utilizing his fire breath at opportunistic times just as Magneto floats away, avoiding as many projectiles as possible.

Godzilla may then use a tail swipe every now and then to send Magneto streaking away too, but that would take extreme effort considering how slow Godzilla moves.

Eventually though Magneto would wear himself down. He can only move so much metal before it becomes a strain on him (ala X-Men 1) and this is where Godzilla would claim his win.

Hiding behind a skyscraper Magneto is floating in front of, the King of Monsters would instantly topple it on top of him. Weakened at this point Magneto would not be able to stop thousands of tons of steel at free fall, and it would crush him below. To make certain Godzilla would then use his fire breath (like shooting fish in a barrel) and the rest is history.
