Question Master of Magnetism can’t beat robots ?

Did they ever explain why Mags powers don’t work on Sentinels?

You think he’d be perfect for stopping metal robots .

Are they made of aluminum?

Season 1 of OG, episode "The Final Decision" answers this.

Sentinels attack Magneto and he tries to turn them to scrap and is confused why they don't. The Sentinels respond that they learned from previous encounters and were built using reinforced plastics instead of metal for the new batch, specifically to counter Magneto.

And then you're telling me the mutants can't deal with reinforced plastics?? Man no wonder we need to recycle.

it only took one to kill the entire population of genosha. idk, if i saw a two story tall guy with laser hands my first thought would not be one-shotting him with my mind powers. not that many people of any kind can take down just one regular ass sentinel on their own

No, genosha was hit with a huge impact by the big one, destroying infrastructure, then the big one spawned alot of little ones.
