I think Xavier was just holding back on Proteus because he was Moira's son. Shadow King wouldn't think twice about going all out and killing Proteus. I'll throw in a vote for Shadow King :up:

I have to go with good ol Chome Dome, I may be a little bias, but he is often down played along with his powers.

[acerwylde]

surfer

[DraconicLord]

Sentry; He's been called the most powerful person in the universe many times by many people including Reed Richards. Also the fact that they only explain his powers as a Hundred (or Thousand?) exploding Suns - Something that vague is probably able to do anything. An if Sentry can't beat SS then the Void will, and the Void IS Sentry. Lol

A Thousand Exploding suns could probably take out quite a huge chunk of the Galaxy btw. Imagine what a person with that power could do - Besides hasn't Spidey hurt SS in the past?

Hurt him? Not sure but I do know what you're talking about, but the Hulk has also been choked out by a snake and the list goes on of ridiculous events that have occured to poor writing.

But even though the Senry's powers are equal to a thousand or a million exploding stars, the Silver Surfer draws his power from the entire universe. I think he just isn't shown to be so Godly powerful in comics because he is more of a second tier character and doesn't have the appeal of a Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Wolverine.

Silver Surfer is considered by many comic fans to be the most powerful being that is non cosmic, except for maybe Strange since Magic pretty much trumps all.

We've never really seen the full extent of the Surfer's powers. Sure he wen't against Thanos with the Infinity Guantlet but that tells us nothing since he was facing omnipotence. Plus from what I have gathered over the years, Galactus seems to favor Chrome Dome above all his other hearlds, although he never admits it, it is implied here and there. So he surely is the most powerful of them all.

[STR1]

Can some please tell me how to post a picture on here?

[STR1]

Finally got it!!!! Okay here it goes. Lets start up with this battle. THE BATTLE OF THE BIG DOGS!


http://str1.com/pics/store/marvelteamup.jpg


VS.


http://str1.com/pics/store/marvelteamup2.jpg

To make it more intersting Thanos has the Infinity Gauntlets.

[Brainiac 8]

Dark Pheonix by herself could take out the rest...I mean she destroyed a whole galaxy by herself...I don't see what the rest of those would do to her.

So I guess what I'm saying...the first team.

[spartin2008]

YOUR CRAZY, Thanos with the infinity gems could do the same, if not then it would be close but i go with team 2

Actualy he does...and Thanos is good enought to take down Dark Phoenix, plus Thor rocks and hes good, better than people make him out to be.


TEAM 2

[Sparta*]

If Thanos doesn't have the Infinity Gauntlet, Dark Phoenix takes them all on her own.

[This I.........]

come on x-man is on the 2nd team he can easily beat down strange, surfer, and that other guy by himself.

which means thanos, thor, and tyrant would handle phoenex

X-Man's team

[Darthphere]

I vote for whatever team has X-Man on it because im that damn bias.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Shakes his head

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

First of all Tyrant is near the power of Galactus. A fully powered Galactus I am sure would easily hand Tyrant his ass but it would still be a very good fight. So I don't think the Pheonix Force would be able to do away with Tyrant that easily. As for the rest yes it would. Of course Thanos is not this stupid and would never take it head on. If Thanos did have the IG this is a no contest stupid pointless battle. But he doesn't have it.

Thor with the Odin power might be able to give the Pheonix force trouble but I doubt it would be more than a minor distracion.

In the end Dr. Strange is the trump card beyond all trump cards. He can hold his own against the LT (if the LT doesn't feel like obliterating him) and Eternity among the other top cosmics. So Jean and Strange could take them all down together.

[Ahura Mazda]

With the IG, no contest and there would be no point....

Without it I think I would give it to the team on top for reasons stated above me...

Then again you cuold put Wolverine in there and he could take care of the pheonix......sorry just saw the movie last night and it grates me.

[XFanTim]

I would rank them (from strongest to weakest) as follows:

Thanos w/ Infinity Gauntlet
Dark Phoenix
Dr. Strange
Tyrant
Thanos without Infinity Gauntlet
Silver Surfer
Genis-Vell
X-Man (Shaman)
Thor
X-Man (pre-Shaman)

I may be underating X-Man (Shaman), since I pretty much only read his pre-Shaman appearances. But in those he wasn't as powerful as Silver Surfer, much less Dark Phoenix. I also wasn't sure where to place Genis-Vell, since I've read very little with him. And Strange is tricky to place -- Tyrant certainly has more raw power, but Strange has beaten some people who are more powerful than anyone Tyrant ever fought (unless this was the near-Galactus-level Tyrant only seen in flashback, before Galactus beat him and de-powered him.)

At any rate, if it's Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet he should beat them all. Yeah, Strange was able to hang with Warlock w/ IG for a while, but Warlock was eventually winning. And Thanos with the Gauntlet has trashed Galactus, Lord Chaos, Master Order, the Celestials -- basically every major cosmic being, at once. So if it's Thanos with the Gauntlet, it's no contest.

If it's Thanos without the Gauntlet, Dark Phoenix would win the day, especially with Strange backing her up.

[XFanTim]

If I were to add King Thor to my above ranking, I'd probably stick him between Tyrant and Thanos (sans Gauntlet). This might mean I'd have to move Genis up since he's taken on King Thor, but I'm not so sure. I've only seen some scans of that fight, but they gave me the impression they didn't really fight that much, maybe not enough to prove anything. (If I'd read the whole thing, I might feel otherwise.)

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Thanos has actually been shown capable of going toe to toe with Tyrant, so I would put them as equals or damn near close to.

[XFanTim]

It looked to me like Tyrant was faring better than Thanos in that fight (assuming you're talking about Cosmic Powers #6 -- I think that's what it was called.) Plus, he had stolen one of Tyrant's energy storage units and was using it to help him. Hence why I have Thanos at least a bit below Tyrant.

Still, Thanos did better against Tyrant in that series than anyone else seemed to, including a bunch of Galactus's heralds.

[STR1]

Looks like Thanos, Tyrant, X-Man and Thor win the battle of the BIG DOGS!

Next battle........


http://str1.com/pics/store/absorbing.gif


VS.


http://str1.com/pics/store/beta.gif

[Vanguard07]

Hmm... nice one.
As much as i Love Absorbingman ( in my mind he's like: Electro. Far Far Far crappier than he should be, mostly due to lack of imagination )
I'm gonna go with Beta Ray on this one.
He was able to beat Thor without Stormbreaker, was worthy of lifting mjolnir and now has the abilities of thor (roughly) added to what he started with.

meaning basically Beta Ray is awesome.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Looks like Thanos, Tyrant, X-Man and Thor win the battle of the BIG DOGS!


WHAT!? Go back and do a recount damn it!

It should be 5-3 in favor of team 1. That is assuming Thanos does not have the infinity guantlet, if he does it is a stupid terrible match up. Since with it Thanos can take on every single being in the MU by himself at once. Stupid, stupid, stupid if he has it.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

YOUR CRAZY, Thanos with the infinity gems could do the same, if not then it would be close but i go with team 2

Actualy he does...and Thanos is good enought to take down Dark Phoenix, plus Thor rocks and hes good, better than people make him out to be.


TEAM 2

Wrong, not even close. The Pheonix force is a cosmic entity that can level Galaxies. Thanos being extremley powerful is no where near that level. And Strange has proven to be not just a top teir hero but a top teir being in all of the Marvel Universe. Your points suck.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Dark Pheonix by herself could take out the rest...I mean she destroyed a whole galaxy by herself...I don't see what the rest of those would do to her.

So I guess what I'm saying...the first team.

Tyrant might be able to rival her strength, but I am not sure how closely.

[spartin2008]

Beta Ray Bill for sure, and thats because of the Odin Power!

Plus he rocks....but thats on a different note.

[1987olds442]

Beta Ray Bill

[rodhulk]

Beta Ray Bill

[Ahura Mazda]

Well I guess Beta ray Bill but it could an interesting match up

[bkhedr]

Bill

[XFanTim]

Beta Ray Bill has basically all the powers of Thor, right? There are very few things Absorbing Man could turn into that could withstand his attacks. Even if he absorbs the properties of a lightning bolt, Bill's hammer can absorb energy (I assume, since Thor's can.) Maybe if he copied the properties of the hammer itself, he'd have a chance, but that still wouldn't stop Bill from teleporting him into another dimension (like Thor has done to Juggernaut when he realized he couldn't really hurt him directly.)

Plus, Thor can use his hammer to drain all the magical energy out of the area (he did this in his other fight against Juggernaut, taking away his invulnerability). Assuming Bill can do the same thing, he could actually de-power Absorbing Man (whose powers are magical in nature).

[XFanTim]

Beta Ray Bill for sure, and thats because of the Odin Power!
I thought only Odin and King Thor had the Odin Power. :confused:

[STR1]

Beta Ray wins!

Mabey, but in a comic i read about Thor, Thor was in trouble and Bill came and saved his BUTT....said the Odin power brought him there.

as for the curent match-It would be close...but...im going with Holocaust

[Exploding Boy]

Holocaust

[The Cleric]

holocaust? are you crazy? Armageddon whooped the crap out of the Silver surfer and would have killed the Hulk and the rest of the Pantheon if it wasn't for Trauma's dying wish for them to leave in peace. Holocaust is nothing but a stooge who sucks everywhere he appears outside of the AoA. Armageddon all the way.

[Sparta*]

hahaha I was wondering if there was a character named Armageddon lol, and I guess there is.

Cap

I'd like to suggest a battle...dark phoenix vs. onslaught vs. thanos w/ and w/o infiniity guantlet. It's a battle of characters who are way too powerful.

[spartin2008]

Scarlet Spider is a clone, not as good as the original...now if it was Spider-man vs. Cap it would be closer...but i got to go with Cap.

and for the suggestion....thanos with the IG would defeat nearly anyone...as it took the whole marvel universe to defete him....now if it was Thanos with the IG vs. i dont know say...Chuck Norris then it would be very close. :D

Out of curiosity, where would Onslaught, apoc, hulk, and classic juggernaut go on your list?

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Out of curiosity, where would Onslaught, apoc, hulk, and classic juggernaut go on your list?

Well for one he was basing that list from a list of characters that were pitted in battle against one another. If you had a full list, I don't think onslaught would make the top 10 and apoc and hulk would be a lot lower, not in the top 20 and maybe even closer to 50.

[mrokner]

I'm well aware where that list came from and I was specifically looking for a response from Xfan about his list. But I do appreciate your insight, Bah Humbug.

[warren_sparta27]

cap

[Ahura Mazda]

Cap as well

[XFanTim]

I like Cap, but he gets too much respect. Scarlet Spidey is many times stronger, many times faster, far more agile, and has better weapons. I know Cap has beaten people who are a lot more powerful than him, but with all those advantages? The speed thing in particular should kill him -- it doesn't matter how skilled you are if your opponent doesn't give you time to execute a move.

In an actual comic, I'm sure the writers would find some implausible way for Cap to win. But if you're asking me what's reasonable?

Spidey wins. Whether Scarlet or the original.

[XFanTim]

Out of curiosity, where would Onslaught, apoc, hulk, and classic juggernaut go on your list?
I'd put Juggernaut just under Thor -- he's more powerful physically, but Thor can always do things like teleport him away (as he did in at least one of their fights). That counts as a win in my book. Plus, Thor has the ability to cancel out Juggernaut's magical enchantments (as he did in another of their fights.)

Whether Juggernaut should really be ahead of X-Man, I don't know. He is weak against telepathy, but only once you get his helmet and skullcap off. Nate could probably do this eventually, but before burning himself out trying to fight Juggernaut physically? I don't know, Nate always had difficulty with Holocaust, and I'd say classic Juggernaut is more powerful.

I'd put Hulk maybe just a hair below Juggernaut. He's potentially stronger, but not quite as indestructible. But they could probably fight for days if the writer was being reasonable about it. Hulk's stronger than Thor, too, but if Thor uses the full range of powers at his disposal (instead of just being stupid and fighting him hand to hand) he should win.

Apocaylpse I'd probably put below Hulk or Juggernaut in a no-prep fight. He has all kinds of Celestial tech that could give him the advantage with prep, but without it I'm not sure he could hurt those guys. And I'd say they're a least a bit stronger. Still, Apocalypse's powers are more versatile, so it'd be an interesting fight. At any rate, I put Apocalypse ahead of X-Man (pre-Shaman) . . . like I said, Holocaust gave Nate a challenge, and I never thought he was as powerful as his dad.

Onslaught is the hardest to place, because he could do whatever the story called for, even if it made no sense. (E.g., ripping the Cytorrak ruby out of Juggernaut's chest. Before that story, the ruby was never inside him to begin with -- he once threw it into space -- and he didn't need to be touching the ruby to maintain his powers. Plus, penetrating Juggernaut's chest was utterly impossible.) Anyway, once Onslaught absorbed Nate Grey and Franklin Richards into himself, he was a full fledged reality warper, so I'd put him below Dark Phoenix or Thanos with the Gauntlet, but ahead of everyone else. Not sure if he had more raw power than Tyrant, but he was able to use it in more varied ways. And presumably he had to be stronger than Dr. Strange, or you'd think Strange would have just taken him out and spared the other heroes the trouble.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

I'm well aware where that list came from and I was specifically looking for a response from Xfan about his list. But I do appreciate your insight, Bah Humbug.

Sounds good, just making sure you understood that :up:

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

I like Cap, but he gets too much respect. Scarlet Spidey is many times stronger, many times faster, far more agile, and has better weapons. I know Cap has beaten people who are a lot more powerful than him, but with all those advantages? The speed thing in particular should kill him -- it doesn't matter how skilled you are if your opponent doesn't give you time to execute a move.

In an actual comic, I'm sure the writers would find some implausible way for Cap to win. But if you're asking me what's reasonable?

Spidey wins. Whether Scarlet or the original.

I agree but Spidey or the Scarlet wouldn't be taking on a normal human or even an extremely well conditioned one, they would be taking on peak human ability. (which I don't really like) But anyway, Spidey is supossed to be around 15 times faster than a normal human.

Not sure what that tells us about how much faster he is than cap. But I think it's safe to say Cap is at least 2-3 times faster than a normal human if not faster. But even if Cap is 5 times faster than a normal human Spidery is still 3 times faster than Cap is.

Speed is a killer, no matter who is fighting whom. But I am not sure Spidery has that much of a speed advantage over Cap. Maybe he does maybe he doesn't. He certainly has a massive strength advantage over him somewhere around 50 times.

But if Cap is supossed to be near the top of the food chain in terms of fighting ability I just can't see Spidey or Scarlet spider beating him.

Actually, yes, yes I can. I change my vote. Scarlet wins, if not by a knock out win, he ceratinly could pin Steve's ass down my webbing him up, same with Wolverine.

[Brainiac 8]

As good as Cap is, I think that Scarlet Spider would win due to speed.

[1987olds442]

[mrokner]

Maestro

[Ahura Mazda]

Maestro


Just wanted to define what I was saying, if Morg has cosmic powers that he could use to drain Maestro then he could pull the win, but otherwise, the maestro would be very tough opposition and may take it.

[1987olds442]

Maestro

[spartin2008]

I dont really know either of them soo... i dont know if im voting...anybody got bios on them???

[1987olds442]

Physically the Maestro is an older version of the Hulk and sports a long gray beard with long gray hair along the sides and the back but is completely bald on top of his head. He possesses even greater physical abilities than his present-day counterpart, and is not hampered by any moral or ethical considerations. The Maestro's body absorbed the radiation left over in Earth's atmosphere and the base level of his strength has been increased to a level far surpassing that of the present-day Hulk. He is thus able to do some serious damage to the Hulk in a fight, particularly since he has over a century of experience in unarmed combat that the Hulk lacks. The Incredible Hulk, however, appears to still be able to achieve greater rage than the Maestro.

From what i read about Morg...i got to vote for him...he seems clearly like the better of the 2

[bkhedr]

Maestro

[Brainiac 8]

Morg should be able to drain Maestro of his powers, and game over.

I give this one to Morg but the Final tally is still in favor of Maestro 4-3. Maestro wins.

That's it, you're outta the trust fund! :p


Reason I say Petey is cuz a depowered Juggernaut had a pretty even fight with 'Quatch back when Austen was writing X-Men; and Juggs now is WAY weaker than Petey.

[Sparta*]

hahaha well if its any consolation, I think Piotr is three trillion times cooler then Sasquatch :up: :p

Originally Sasquatch was way stronger and would have won.
Now however Sasquatch seems weaker and Collossus is much stronger than he was.
Also he's way friggin cooler.

So i'm voting for Collossus.

so I'm betting they will be distracted. I'd be.

hahah I don't think the Goblins have much to...offer a lady lol :p

[Vanguard07]

Spiderwoman is the only person on her team with any notable powers.

The goblins on the other hand are all at or near Spiderman's level of power. (Demogoblin might be more powerful) Plus they can fly and have all kindsa nasty tricks and weapons.

I cant see these femmes standing much chance.

[1987olds442]

Hobgoblin, Green Goblin and Demogoblin

[XFanTim]

I'll give this to the goblins as well. Too much power + better weaponry. But Spider-woman would be the last to go down for the female team (the only particularly super-powered one of the three).

[Brainiac 8]

I say the women. Spider-Woman has powers to match. Black Cat would be taken out fairly early.

Electra on the other hand, is skilled enough, and shows no mercy that she would study their attacks, then strike at their weakness, killing them. Electra is their ace to win the fight.:up:

[STR1]

Okay the goblins win this by a good margin....

tough one..i'd go with the first one..

[spartin2008]

i thought Chamelion was part of the Sinister Six...o well...i say because of Kingpin mostly team 2 takes it.

[1987olds442]

Rhino, Kingpin, Hydro-Man, Scorpion, Shocker, and Lizard

[Vanguard07]

The sinister six for sure.
Doc Ock, Sandman and Electro are seriously tough and Mysterio brings enough of an area advantage for his team that Kingpin and his cronies would barely be able to do anything.

[Colossal Spoons]

i thought Chamelion was part of the Sinister Six...o well...i say because of Kingpin mostly team 2 takes it.

I think Fisk is the weak link of that team; juat like Mysterio is the weak link of his.

I vote for the Sinister Six.

[Vanguard07]

Mysterio's a lot more dangerous than you're giving him credit for I think. He's just ineffective against Spidey (and DD) because of the extra senses that arent fooled by his illusions.

Against these particular foes Mysterio would bring some pretty heavy advantages.

[spartin2008]

I think Fisk is the weak link of that team; juat like Mysterio is the weak link of his.

I vote for the Sinister Six.

I dont know...Kingpin aint dumb..and with someone like Rhino and even Hydro-man...they could do some real damage...thats just my senerio...not that it would be a blow out...it would be close...but i just think they would have the advantage.

[Colossal Spoons]

What could Kingpin do offensively?

[spartin2008]

I mean he could come up with some ideas...and he could use "idiots" like Rhino in a very powerful and SMART way...

[KevanG]

I'm voting for a tie because even though the first is pretty strong (doc ock, mysterio, sandman and electro) the others aren't really that great. Vulture and Kraven could be taken down pretty easy and that would leave 4-6, But if the first team actually works together it could go either way.

[STR1]

The Shocker team takes the win!

I'll give this one to Captain Britain. He's actually quite the powerhouse and his abilities are magical in nature. Magic on average trumps most other things.

Magneto

http://str1.com/pics/store/sinister.gif

Mister Sinister

[spartin2008]

I go with Sinister....i think that it takes a special kind of person to work for Apocalypse and it took Magneto plus others to defete him...and Sinister is pretty close to Apocalypse...so i vote Sinister.

Good match...o and i just wanted to say that you doing a great job at this STR1, its not all that lightning fast...but you are coming up with some great matches that i never could have came up with.

[bkhedr]

Magnus

[1987olds442]

Magneto

[XFanTim]

Hmm . . . Magneto is easily my favorite X-villain, but I don't really think he'd match up that well against Sinister. Sinister has at times shown the ability to prevent mutants from using their powers (perhaps by some sort of psionic means). If he can do that to Magneto, Mags would be screwed. Magneto has also shown the ability to block mutants powers (by redirecting bloodflow away from certain areas of their brains), but I'm not sure Sinister even has normal blood, or that his blood contains iron (which Magneto uses to control it). Plus he has total cellular control, which could possibly prevent Magneto from controlling his blood.

Hmm . . . on second thought, if Sinister's ability to shut off people's powers is based on telepathy, then maybe Magneto could resist it. Magneto obviously has some ability to resist psionic attack, or Xavier would take him down in five seconds every time they meet. (Normally, it seems to be much more of a struggle). So if Magneto is too powerful for Sinister to stop him from using his powers or otherwise telepathically neutralize, then Sinister would be pretty much out of luck. His energy blasts aren't going to do squat against Magneto, nor is his strength. Magneto may not be able to actually kill Sinister (which seems pretty much impossible), but he could bury him under many tons of metal -- even shaping the metal into an air-tight container to prevent Sinister from oozing his way out. It seems like that would pretty effectively take him out of the fight.

So I guess I've come around to voting for Magneto (even though I was initially going to vote for Sinister).

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Magneto

[Exploding Boy]

Sinister

[DraconicLord]

Sinister - I love Magneto, dont get me wrong and he is easily the most deadly Anti-Hero/Villain the X-Men and half the Marvel Universe have ever gone up against; But Sinister can't be killed, he constantly is Regenerating his cells/self.

Anything Mag's could throw at Sinister would be futile; In the end Sinister would be back and as ready as ever

Yeah but "can't be killed" doesn't mean he can't be immobilized or contained. No one ever said the fight had to be to the death. (Otherwise Deadpool would win every match.)

[DraconicLord]

Yeah but "can't be killed" doesn't mean he can't be immobilized or contained. No one ever said the fight had to be to the death. (Otherwise Deadpool would win every match.)

Sinister has shown the ability to phase by using his compleate controll over his body at a cellular level. Mind you not often but he has done it, once I find my issue I'll post the number - Though yeah Magneto could contain him and even immobilize Sinister for moments, but thats not beating him.

[The Cleric]

Sinister....easily. especially now-a-days, since mags couldn't move a spoon...

[XFanTim]

Sinister....easily. especially now-a-days, since mags couldn't move a spoon...
I think it's pretty clear that we're meant to assumes Magneto has his powers.

[STR1]

I will brake the tie by saying Magneto will hold his own against Sinister in a very though fight as per reasons stated by XFan.

Spartin' thanks for the compliments :up:

We just need more people voting.

Taskmaster

http://str1.com/pics/store/taskmaster.gif

[spartin2008]

OOOOO...this is a toughy....im going with Spider-man

[Sparta*]

Spider-man

[1987olds442]

Spider-Man

[Vanguard07]

Spiderman by a mile. both the others are badass for sure. They're awesome characters but they're not in Spidey's league.

I mean he has reflexes fast enough to catch bullets, he can dodge your moves before you make them. He's strong enough to throw a car at you. He's got superhuman endurance and resistance to injury. too much for either Taskmaster or BP to handle even without all the enhancements and new toys he's gotten over the last couple of years.
Hell if they teamed up against him they'd still lose.
Spiderman's too much for them.

[KevanG]

If Spidey was like Captain America and was just the peak of human, then it would be very close because of the taskmasters abilities and BP's ablities, but since he is super-human then the others don't really stand a chance against all his powers and experience. Unless BP got the spider-sense nullifying gas that the GG and hobgoblin used somehow, then it would be closer, but I still say Spidey for the win :D

[Exploding Boy]

Spiderman

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Someone post the comic where Taskmaster makes Spidey look like a fool.

[XFanTim]

Yeah, Taskmaster has beat Spidey before. Although I think it's a bit unbelievable, since Spidey has superhuman speed and strength and Taskmaster doesn't (at least not more than about 2x normal speed, based on watching videos in fast forward.) Skill can trump strength (to a point), but it's hard for skill to trump a major speed advantage. If you can't react fast enough to defend against your opponents attacks, you're pretty well screwed.

So I guess it depends on how much weight I'm willing to giving to past precedent, as opposed to common sense.

Of course, BP is another variable in the equation. I've got to figure Taskmaster is the more skilled fighter, but Panther may have better weapons. Actually, they both have pretty good weapons.

With prep, Panther has taken on Iron Man, the FF, all sorts of heavy hitters. But with no prep he's at a bit of a disadvantage.

I'm really having a hard time making up my mind here.

[XFanTim]

I mean he has reflexes fast enough to catch bulletsFor what it's worth, Taskmaster has caught a bullet as well (in his mini-series). Even though he's supposed to be basically a normal human (except for the photographic reflexes), he sometimes seems to have superhuman reaction time.

[XFanTim]

Here's a Taskmaster respect thread (http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f95/t399062.html) that includes his victory over Spider-Man.

I guess I'll give this to Taskmaster. He's beat Spidey before, and I'm not sure Panther could beat him without prep. (I find the Spidey fight a bit questionable, but TM beating Spidey seems a bit more plausible if Peter is simultaneously having to deal with Black Panther. And I think both those guys would probably focus on Spidey first, since he's the most powerful of the three.)

With prep, Panther wins -- he's too smart and has the substantial resources of Wakanda backing him up.

But for no prep, I vote Taskmaster.

[DraconicLord]

Dude; Taskmaster with his eyes closed.

Spiderman is the **** yeah - Taskmaster's automatic reflexes easily takes out anything Peter could throw at him. Remember, Taskmaster has heavily studied the fighting styles of DD, Cap, Spiderman, Hawkman and Elektra, including others.

[STR1]

:spidey: wins!

Apocalypse

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Hmmm, well which Drax?

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

But unless it is the newer version of Drax I just don't see how Apocalypse can hurt Drax enough to take him out. Drax gets my vote.

[Slim31]

You people need to grow up, God or no God Thor has no chance, thats why in Future Imperfect Thor was dead and guess who was alive The Hulk nuff said.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

What the hell are you talking about? Wrong thread buddy.

[KevanG]

lol he was talking about the maestro thread, anywho is it Drax the insanely strong cyborg guy or the much weaker version? If it's the really powerful version the he puts up and extremely good fight but Apocalypse wins. If it's the weaker version Pocky declares him unfit to survive and mops the floor with him.

They both have superhuman strength and stamina but Pocky has a much wider variety of powers and much more experience fight people that could possibly beat him.

Umm when was Drax ever a cyborg? Either way the only version that might lose or would lose would be the newer/smarter/weaker version.

[KevanG]

Didn't he have his brain implanted in a machine or something? Or did they pull a wonder man/vision thing?

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Didn't he have his brain implanted in a machine or something? Or did they pull a wonder man/vision thing?

I don't know. I do know that the current version, well as current as to my knowledge is Drax but he has regained much of his intelligence but has lost much of his power and perfers to fight hand to hand now.

[XFanTim]

Based on the pic, it looks like the old version, not the recent, somewhat de-powered one. If it's full-power Drax, I think he wins this.

[XFanTim]

You people need to grow up, God or no God Thor has no chance, thats why in Future Imperfect Thor was dead and guess who was alive The Hulk nuff said.
:confused:

Still on page 1? Try reading the other 67. :p

[Vanguard07]

I think Drax could take him and i've always though apocalypse was overrated. So i vote Drax.

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

As I said, any form of Drax with the exception of the current and maybe even him take down Apoc.

The other versions do it with ease.

[STR1]

No prep time

[spartin2008]

Iron Man he has a big enough arsinal with him so he could figure out something without prep...so Iron Man wins

[KevanG]

No preptime hunh? It could really go either way but Doom's the man, so Iron Man was DOOMed from the start :D

[1987olds442]

Dr. Doom

[Colossal Spoons]

Dr. Doom for the win.

[kytrigger]

Iron Man since it's without prep time.

[Sparta*]

Vicious Vic

[Ahura Mazda]

Doom

[Brainiac 8]

If it was based on skill and intelligence...then Doom would beat him.

If it's one of the inconsistent writers who seem to think Iron Man can destroy a nation with his suit or guard against a nuclear warhead, then Iron Man.


But since we can only pick one...Doom.:up:

[Vanguard07]

I'm thinking mephisto just cause while i'm familiar with Shuma gorath's bio i've only really seen him in action in the recent FF storyline in which Doctor Strange beat him off panel.

Now Strange is no slouch. He could beat Mephisto too but I imagine Mephy'd make a better show of it than Shuma did.
so Mephisto gets my vote.

I vote for Juggernaut, but wouldn't it be fun to use zzzax in scabble?

[Exploding Boy]

Juggernaut

Juggernaut I suppose

[XFanTim]

Who the hek is Zzzax???
Zzzax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zzzax)

Edit: That's not my vote, I'm just posting the link. I'm not quite sure here -- I'd say Juggernaut could win a physical fight, but perhaps Zzzax can interfere with the electricity in his brain (sort of like how Jugs often got beat by telepaths.)

[Vanguard07]

He'd have to get Jugg's helmet off first and i really dont see that happening

[STR1]

I thought this was going to be a count since this would be a close fight IMO. But Juggernaut won this bout.

[STR1]

Ghostrider

http://str1.com/pics/store/Ghostrider.jpg

VS.

http://str1.com/pics/store/wolverine.gif

Wolverine

[K4tzm4n]

Well....From what I understand...Ghost Rider could give Wolvy quite the beating w/ the chain and clearly has the speed advantage...However, would he be powerful enough to keep wolvy down for good? I think Wolverine would somehow get close and end this one.

[XFanTim]

I can't see any way Wolverine could take out Ghost Rider. The only time I've seen Ghost Rider seriously hurt was either by a magical attack (e.g., hellfire) or by some sort of technology that was specifically designed to take out magical beings. He's had his bones blown apart and re-formed almost instantly. He can also repair his bike by force of will if it's damaged. Plus his bones and bike are basically indestructible anyway.

Meanwhile, Ghost Rider is far stronger than Wolverine (I'd say he's somewhere between Spidey and the Thing in terms of strength), and he has a long-range attack (swinging his chain and sending the links flying out like bullets) whereas Wolverine doesn't. Even with Wolvie's healing factor, a barrage of unbreakable chain links piercing through his body would probably slow him down.

Plus GR has his penance stare. He looks in your eyes and makes you feel all the pain you've ever caused. Imagine what that would do to Wolverine. That's not really the sort of attack that a healing factor and unbreakable bones can defend against.

In summary: I don't really see how Wolverine can hurt Ghost Rider, and I can see a bunch of ways Ghost Rider could hurt Wolverine.

So I vote Ghost Rider.

[Exploding Boy]

Ghost Rider no contest

[Vanguard07]

Ghost Rider would curbstomp Wolvie. He's stronger than wolvie, he's got more powers, longer range and packs more punch and he's immune to all conventional forms of injury.
Wolvie's claws wouldnt do squat to GR.

Now throw in the hell cycle and the penance stare and whatever minuscule plot device based chance wolvie had goes right out the window.
the penance stare would reduce logan to about the same level of threat as a 3 year old girl who's been tazered by the cops.

[acerwylde]

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider :ghost:

[KevanG]

Wolvie gets booted in the butt by Ghost rider. Although if this was predicted box office sales once thier respective movies come out, it could go either way :D

[K4tzm4n]

After learning more about Ghost Riders powers I SHOULD change my vote...However...Wolverine should get a sympathy vote...so, I stay with Wolverine despite not being a fan of his.:wolverine

[U.S War Machine]

Ghost Rider would use the pennent stare.

C'mon guys!!!, Desak

[Vanguard07]

Alright. I'll throw a vote Desak's way. If he held his own against Thor with Odinpower (and would have won were it not for outside interference) Then he's clearly immensely powerful.
Powerful enough to kill Hulk.

[Ahura Mazda]

Hulk because Desak's main defense is that he is immune to Godly powers. he would have no immunity to Hulk's strength and i think Hulk could take him after a very difficult battle.

[Sparta*]

This would be an extremely close battle...but I think Hulk would take it in the end

[K4tzm4n]
