Silver Surfer could own 95% of Marvel without some crazy suit.

The symbiotes are cool but honestly they aren't shit if you know how to fight them. All you need is super sonics and they're done.

I realize his powers extend deeper than I originally gave them credit, but for the most part they depend on having metal around him to work with.
This isn't a problem in any of the comics or movies, because the writers put that stuff at his disposal.
Other superheroes have powers that aren't conditional on environment. The only way they wouldn't be able to implement their power is if they had an achillies heel, like Superman's kryptonite.

superman's powers are derived from his environment though. he only has powers on earth because of our yellow sun. on krypton, under a red sun, there would be nothing super about him.

.44 Magdalene 05-06-2010 11:58 PM

Nevermind that metal isn't exactly in short supply anyway.

Hes just a cripple to anyone with mental defenses. Which is a lot of fucking people in the MU.

Fignuts 05-07-2010 01:21 AM

Dr. Strange is pretty hax character. No bigger deus ex machina than "IT'S MAGIC!" You know why dr. strange wasn't in Onslaught? Because it would have lasted 2 seconds if he was.

Yeah, but Black Panther is basically Marvel's Batman. He beats everybody and everything. He'd probably destroy Galactus with an Armbar or something.

Fignuts 05-07-2010 01:28 AM

Also, batman would beat magneto. Doesn't matter how powerful a character is. Batman will find a way. I mean he killed Darkseid, ffs.

.44 Magdalene 05-07-2010 01:30 AM

Oh, fuck yeah. You give Batman a couple of hours and the internet and he's taking down God. Batman caught by surprise tends to get fucked up pretty bad, though.

That very rarely happens. And even then it's no garauntee, as he is probably the most quick-thinking and resorceful characters in all of comics.

Fignuts 05-07-2010 01:57 AM

Might sound crazy but Ithink captain america has the best chance of beating batman. Just like batman always wins with his detective work, cap always wins through sheer determination. He could be up against galactus, and he'll win just because he refuses to lose. You have to have read the book enough to know where I'm coming from on this,tbh. Always admired captain america, as he has this presence about him that is unique. Like, it feels like he "trys harder" than any other character.

Kalyx triaD 05-07-2010 02:04 AM

During the JLA/Avengers crossover, Cap and Bats traded light blows to gauge each other's skill. They paused with Batman saying, and I'll never forget this line:

"You could probably beat me, but it'll take you a long time."

Lock Jaw 05-07-2010 02:07 AM

The whole dynamic with Batman/Captain America was probably the highlight of that JLA/Avengers crossover.



.... Man, we're nerds.

Lock Jaw 05-07-2010 02:09 AM

Am I the only one who watches the Big Bang Theory, and gets distracted whenever they are in the comic shop (or when there are comic books in the frame) because I am busy trying to identify the covers of the comic books?

And half the time I succeed?

Is this sad?

Fignuts 05-07-2010 02:09 AM

Yeah, as far as hand to hand goes, they are about even. Batman is probably a little better, but every hit cap lands is going to hurt a lot more.

Kalyx triaD 05-07-2010 02:09 AM

OR ARE WE?

Dark Knight, X2, Spidey 2, Iron Man, and many others were blockbusters. I think we were ahead of the times.

dronepool 05-07-2010 02:12 AM

Thing is, Cap will not get tired. The formula in him prevents that. So yeah, eventually after an epic 2-3 hour "Goku vs Majin Buu" battle, Cap wins.

Anytime there is a comic shop scene in anything, I do this.

Same here.

Also in JLU Batman dodged the Omega Beams Even darkseid had to admit " Impressive no one has ever dodged my Omega Beam"

and then theres this:

Cause hes the fucking Batman.

He's the god damned batman.

dronepool 05-07-2010 02:36 AM

Spidey always has trouble with Rhino while Cap stopped him with little effort.

I love The Gauntlet, because it's made spider-man's villains awesome again. For the longest time, they were a fucking joke, outside of osborn.

Yeah, so far most of it was good. Sterns arc was my second fave next to Kelly's Rhino issues.

Jeritron 05-07-2010 02:59 AM

What is Magneto's range anyways? Sounds like something that's up to the writer at the moment. I mean, I would think in the interest of being reasonable he'd need to have a limit for how far he could manipulate metal from. It should be in his range of vision (not counting obstructions), at least.
It's ridiculous to say he could be standing in the middle of the Sahara desert and pull a quarter out of someone's pocket in Paris.
Using the metal and ore in the earth's crust to cause Volcanoe's would probably require manipulation over a massive distance. If that's the case, why not just move the whole planet through outer space?

This is true. I actually thought of it when typing my response, but I left it out. I figured I'd keep it on Earth, where as long as the sun doesn't go out, Superman has carte blanche to fuck shit up.
I figured if we got into off planet stuff, it would get narrowed down to a select group of Superheroes anyways.
Unless Magneto has the power to hurl metallic meteors from great distances, and invests in a sturdy space suit.

Because I imagine that has nothing to do with his traditional agenda.

Maybe one day he decides society is too sick to survive and moves the planet far enough away from the sun so that all the humans die and only the strongest mutants survive. Magneto: Hands on mutant Darwinist.
That's the best I've got.

KIRA 05-07-2010 03:07 AM

Weren't his Powers driving that Asteroid /mutant sanctuary he had?
