REBUTTAL: Graviton vs Durok
His powers are limited in time.
Eight hours. Do you know how long that is? He won't need that kind of time.
Also, let us not forget that Iron Man (before he got the extremis virus) almost killed him.
Let's also not forget that afterwards, he went and completely owned the Avengers and the Thunderbolts, and his defeat at the hands of Iron Man was when he was weaker and Iron Man was aided by the West Coast Avengers. He had owned the Avengers (including Iron Man) some time before that.
This battle will be difficult and arduous. Let us not forget that Durok never tires and that his concussive blasts were able to penetrate the Silver Surfer's defenses. He also is superhumanly fast.
I've only read about him having incredible strength and endurance, but nothing stating superspeed. Could be I missed that however.
Now the reality is that Durok is at least a class 75 meaning there was no way to know his upper level of strength. And he was able to break the Surfer's board when the Surfer tried to hold him with it.
At least class 75 means he's around that area. If we didn't know his upper strength, he'd be at least class 100. We know he's a minimal class 75, and his max at best would be class 100, something Graviton has withstood with ease.
This battle is going to end up being one of endurance. Graviton will have the upper hand at first but he will tire whereas Durok never does. He has limitless energy. He will be able to hold out and strike some blows of his own and his concussive blasts come with tremendous force. Graviton will be using close to his maximum capacity to hold Durok off and at the same time trying to protect from the blasts Durok sends him.
He's shown to be able to do simultaneous things, and his maximum capacity is obviously greater than
holding up an entire island and still owning the Avengers. If he can hold that for eight hours... Wow. He only needs to keep Durok immobile for long enough to get him disqualified.
Lest we forget, the same Graviton got bested by Iron Man solo and was almost killed by him.
When, exactly? I don't recall this incident, truthfully here. I thought you were referring to his fight with Iron Man while he was with the West Coast Avengers. Besides that, he owned the Thunderbolts and Avengers after that, so really, that doesn't matter much.
Heck, he's literally held most superheroes in the air, levitated dozens of cities across the globe AND fought the Thunderbolts. He has unlimited power over gravity. He was capable of hurling a pebble from China to Australia, killing one single person. That's the magnitude and refinement of his powers.
Let me take these one by one and by the way if he can hurt the SILVER SURFER, I think he can hurt Graviton.
Of course he can hurt Graviton, but it's doubtful he'll hit him. Lest we also forget, Durok never actually beat the Surfer, and the Surfer was able to stand up to him quite well.
This will not stop Durok from trying and while he keeps it up, Graviton will tire and eventually Durok will break through.
Graviton doesn't tire as easily as you think. Besides, manipulating the Savage Land would cost little energy from Graviton.
Well that depends on how much energy that takes and no one knows Durok's upper limits. This is not to say Graviton cannot do it just that this will not hold Durok indefinitely and eventually Graviton will tire.
It's not necessary to hold him indefinitely. Just enough to keep him immobile long enough. He's kept class 70-100 characters this way before, for quite a time. He can do it with Durok as well. Another, kinda cheap, strategy would be to simply punt Durok into space/other side of the planet, removing him from the battlefield.
Yes tehy withstood Thor for a time but they did not withstand Iron Man's and Durok did knock out Thor so maybe he hits harder then him.
They've also withstood Iron Man's, so that doesn't hold up. It took him a while to knock out Thor, and considering he's still stated to be around the class 75 level, I doubt he'll be hitting those shields any harder than Thor did.
Given the Silver Surfer could not, how can Graviton....
No, the Surfer just didn't do it. Big difference.
Durok will fight aganist this and eventually...I know I am repeating myself...but Graviton will tire. He can fight from 9 to 18 hours depending on the level of energy he expends and as such Durok will eventually get to him.
9 to 18 hours is enough for disqualifying. Besides, if it really got out of hand, Graviton could just fling Durok into space. Again, unlimited control of gravity. Besides, there's not much for Durok to fight. It kept Wonder Man and Iron Man under control.
Both of them. It required little energy from Graviton.
Yes he can hold off Durok for awhile but Durok is limitless in his endurance and as such will evntually get to Graviton. And if the blasts could penetrate the Surfer's shields it is likely he can penetrate Graviton's. Plus the shields will get weaker as the hours advance.
If Graviton even so much as gets the idea he can not simply win this, he'll take Durok and throw him away. There's no defense against this from Durok. And again, limitless endurance is useless when you're disqualified after two hours.
Durok has never been knocked out and as such Graviton wil not be the first to do it. The way he ws defeated was by placing him in an alternate future.
Durok's also had four appearances, of which three cover one arc. So, although the "never" is accurate, it isn't really relevant.
On the other hand, Iron Man left Graviton for dead. There will be nothing quick about this battle and the limited endurance of Graviton will be his downfall. Durok has never tired and is relentless.
You severely underestimate Graviton's endurance. With the feats he's pulled off? Eight hours is a lot. I've also finally found this Iron Man thing you are referring to. New Avengers apparently, where it was already shown that Graviton was severely weakened by the prison, so really, it doesn't really count. That's one weak appearance against numerous very very powerful ones.
WINNER=GRAVITON
