Even without metal physically present, Magneto's power to manipulate EM fields and other miscellaneous bullshit (the super-shield-trick at least has been shown as a consistent power) would let him do a pretty damn good job of wearing Supes down, assuming that Magneto is for some bizarre reason surrounded by absolutely no metal for miles.

And Magneto's ability to manipulate metal is hilariously not limited by his physical capacity, but by the extent of his powers. He can view the world as an electromagnetic spectrum instead of seeing it with his standard senses, giving him knowledge of all things electromagnetic within his range--even if he can't see or hear them. He once used a machine to amplify his powers and simultaneously shut down every machine on Earth. I don't know what his standard reach is, though.
