As for Magneto, he is naturally much stronger than ordinary Mutants, and his control over magnetism is extremely precise. He can use magnetic fields to control metals and change them into the shapes he wants, such as swords or steel balls, for attack.

However, his abilities are limited to magnetism. He can control magnetism well in combat, but he still cannot make subtle controls on the magnetic field itself to generate a controllable current, let alone manipulate electronic devices as freely as Bradley.

If we were to use an analogy, Magneto would be like a stun gun, with power, precision, and control that surpasses that of a crude stun baton-like ordinary Mutants. However, compared to Bradley, who is like a supercomputer, Magneto is still far inferior in terms of precise control.

Magneto cannot control electric current through magnetic fields, nor can he emit or receive electromagnetic waves. His application of magnetic fields is limited to controlling metallic substances. Therefore, many people believe that Magneto's ability is to control metals.

However, in terms of magnetism alone, Bradley didn't actually use it much. The main reason was that the magnetic field strength he could generate with his original abilities was too weak. It was fine for affecting electronic devices, but it was far from enough to control metal like Magneto. Most importantly, he had never tried to control metal!

Before awakening his mutant abilities, Bradley was just an ordinary person with limited horizons. After accidentally awakening his mutant abilities, his development and understanding of his abilities were limited to controlling small electronic devices such as radios and electric toys, as well as directly receiving radio broadcast signals. It wasn't until he was recruited by William Stryker to join the X-Force that he truly came into contact with other Mutants and applied his abilities to more advanced fields such as flying planes and transmitting and receiving radio signals.

But in fact, at this time his development of his abilities was still very rudimentary.

Everything began to change only after Chen Mo appeared.

In addition to expanding upon his original capabilities by using wireless power to charge drones and remotely control them, he also gained new video image transmission and analysis capabilities, enabling him to use drones for remote reconnaissance and monitoring.

After Chen Mo gained a deeper understanding of his electromagnetic abilities, he began to train Chen Mo's ability to directly control metal using magnetic fields. Bradley had never met Magneto and was unaware of the powerful applications of magnetic fields in this area, but Chen Mo, who had seen the movie, knew all too well.

Although Bradley's magnetic field is not as strong as Magneto's, controlling some coins to launch attacks is still no problem. This allows him to maintain sufficient combat power even when all the drones are damaged or not around, greatly enhancing his survivability and combat effectiveness on the battlefield. He is no longer the weakling who could only serve as a logistics personnel.

However, Bradley can only control smaller metal objects for attacks at present. He cannot use the power of magnetic fields to change the shape of metal like Magneto. That would require much greater power, which he cannot achieve yet. Therefore, Bradley cannot use readily available materials like Magneto to directly separate metal spheres from surrounding metal objects for attacks. Instead, he always carries a handful of coins with him, which leads to the X-Force members often borrowing coins from him to buy water when they are on missions.

Bradley finally earned his own nickname, "The Little Treasury"!

Although Chen Mo helped Bradley develop the ability to control metal using magnetic fields, this ability was not that important to Chen Mo himself. This was because his current telekinetic manipulation ability was not much different from Magneto's ability to control metal. As long as his telekinesis was strong enough, he could change the shape of metal at will. Moreover, telekinesis was not only effective against metal, but against all matter!

Therefore, what Chen Mo truly valued was not Bradley's control over magnetism, but rather his exquisite control over electricity.

With telekinesis, Chen Mo no longer lacks the ability to control objects, while Bradley's ability to control electricity possesses a powerful capability that other mutant abilities do not have.

It can directly and fundamentally control all electronic machinery, including computers, mechanical equipment, airplanes, cars, tanks, and robots!

After so many space travels, Chen Mo has figured out the rules. Whether it's the worlds he has traveled to or the worlds represented by the light spheres that appeared but were not chosen by him, they all have one thing in common: they are all movie worlds, and specifically, science fiction movie worlds!

Apart from a very few films like "Underworld" that take place in ancient worlds, most science fiction movies rely heavily on high-tech equipment and weapons. Warships, spaceships, and robots are frequent features in science fiction films.

Chen Mo didn't care about one or two robots, but what about a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand? Even with the indestructible King's Sword, Chen Mo wouldn't be able to withstand them at all, and his only option would be to retreat.

However, if it were a powerful being like the Iron Man suit or the giant robot from Pacific Rim, Chen Mo's advantage would be even smaller.

Bradley's abilities, however, are naturally countered by these electromechanical devices. His brain is like a computer, capable of directly processing electronic information data. Not only can he directly hack into and control these electronic devices like J.A.R.V.I.S., but he is even more powerful than J.A.R.V.I.S..

J.A.R.V.I.S. could only hack into the system through technical means, while Bradley could directly rewrite the program. He didn't need to exploit vulnerabilities to infiltrate the target. Even if the target wasn't connected to the internet or had all communication and information receiving ports shut down, Bradley could directly target its processor and hard drive. Through his extremely precise control over the electrical components, he could directly tamper with the data and gain control.

After all, electronic devices, whether robots or warships, all process, store, and control information through electrical signals.

Bradley could even increase the current to burn out the processor and other components, or more simply, cut off the power supply. No matter how powerful you are, I can cut off your power and force you to shut down. Even the most advanced machine will be paralyzed.

Even the top-tier Artificial Intelligence J.A.R.V.I.S. is no match for Bradley. With his exquisite electrical control abilities, he is a natural nemesis of robots!
