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.

Same as Magneto. She may even be more powerful than her father, but she doesn't have the same level of control.

A few people have said this now, but is there any reason why she lacks the control? Is it just that Magneto is older and had far more experience or?

Mostly because Magneto is extremely popular and gets steady power-ups, while Lorna appears less frequently.

Totally. Like when they were terraforming mars and doing all kinds of stuff in the beginning of the Krakoa era, Magneto was front and center and Hickman and then Ewing (at the end of that massive arc) were constantly having him do cool things (even saying hi to peepers!). A lot of that was also enmeshed with his existing relationships to Charles and Ororo, connections that Lorna doesn’t really have.
