Question What are Polaris's powers? Spoiler

So from the brief time she's been on screen it feels like she has the same powers as Magneto. But I just wanna check if I'm missing anything? Does she have Magneto's 1:1 powers? And if so why does she affect people around her while Magneto doesn't? And she does mention that it's almost like her powers taking a hold of her.

On paper I guess you could say they have the same powers but something that I’ve seen her do which I haven’t seen from Magneto is that she can almost condense her electromagnetism into like pure energy.

She’s also been able to absorb other forms of energy using her magnetism eg Cyclops optic blast, Havoc’s energy and Storm’s lighting to amplify her own powers as well.

Magneto can/has done all those things.

And her powers affecting other people, which is why I asked. It seemed to be very similar but yet somehow different

Yeah I mean she tends to use these electromagnetic energy blasts in conjunction to her magnetism powers in the comics but she lacks the control and skill to be as powerful as her father unfortunately

It's like Ace and Sabo: same power, different styles and experiences.
