Anytime Nimrod feels threatened by Herc's strength, he can just teleport away to regroup, redesign, repair, whatever. In this case, if Hercules rushes him right off the bat, Nimrod can teleport behind Herc and attack him.
Yeah, and Herc can turn around an deasily defend himslef. Herc is much faster than Nimrod, and is one of the best combatants in the MU. Teleporting behind him isn't going to do much of anything.
Hercules will have to make contact with Nimrod. Not a guarantee. And Nimrod can always repair himself. Hercules would probably have to destroy him down to the molecular level to make sure he's stopped the sentinel.
Plenty of people have made contact with Nimrod before. He's been ripped up by Rogue before. IF she can get a hold of him, Herc definately can.
And every time Nimrod is damaged, or his forcefield is breached, he'll reconfigure himself to be stronger. If his weapons have no effect on Hercules, he'll ramp them up until they start to do something.
This is the problem. Nimrod generally doesn't make himself "stronger". He can reconfigure himslef to be better suited to his opponent, but can't get stronger like Hulk or something.
And that's the problem. He's been ripped up by powerhouses before, and then again. There is only so much he can do to strengthen his joints and machinery, and Herc is strong enough to always rip into him.
Not a bad idea, actually. But Nimrod can use pieces of the technology around him to rebuild himself (and teleport away if he needs the time).
True, but the tech he uses to repair himslef makes him weaker. it isn't as advanced as his futuristic technology, and he still has to adapt to using it. It's not like if Herc rips off his main laser gun, he can create a new one instantly by absorbing copper wiring in the wall. This is why he usually absorbs his old tech back into himslef whenever he can. Also, the bio talks about how not much is known of his teleportation abilities. That is because he doesn't use it that often. Every instance I have read about him teleporting, it has been in retreat. It wasn't somethign where he teleported five feet in the middle of battle and kept attacking. It migth be that he doesn't use it often because it takes up a lot of energy or whatever, but it has never been a major weapon of his.
I didn't rebute everything towards the end because it's answered earlier. Nimrod has tons of experience as well. And he can adapt his systems to better fight Hercules as the battle progresses. And all Nimrod has to do is teleport away if he needs to buy himself time. If he has problems with the technolgoy, all Nimrod has to do is (eliminate and) disguise himself as one of the crew. This helps get him the time he would need; keeping both Hercules and the crew in the dark until the time is right.
They atart fighting in the same room, so instantly turnign into a person in front of Hrec's eyes won't fool him. And while it states that the SHIELD people aren't fighting unoess they are brought into the fight, I gaurantee you they are watchign. SHIELD has tons of security checkpoints for all personell that would make it incredibly hard for Nimrod to get around. Especially since the Dreadnought was a major threat to a heli-carrier and is a robot. I gaurantee you since those thigns attacked, they have robotic defenses in place. Not to mention that when he does try to hack into SHIELD and take over the heli-carrier, that is an act against SHIELD which means they can attack Nimrod
Facing off against the crew is a problem. But if Nimrod disguises himself, he can avoid detection. And if he's inside the system, he can mess all their defenses and weapons up. Teleportation gives Nimrod all the time he'll need, and the advantage of striking Hercules from multiple directions without taking a single hit.
I still really think you are overplaying his teleportation ability. I haven't read a thing where he does this in battle.
But knocking Herc, or teleporting Herc, off the carrier would since he can't fly and stay within range of the craft.
But if he teleports Herc a mile away, HE has to be with Herc to teleport him, so he would be out of range as well.
If sonics don't work, and Nimrod didn't already know that, then Nimrod will try other things, constantly upgrading his abilities. He may develop new, and more effective attacks. Maybe something we've never seen before since we've never seen all of Nimrod's weaponry or abilities.
Right, and chances are any new attacks he has Herc has seen before. Herc has basicalyl gone up against every type of power or ability there is. Plus, those weapons he has won't be of use to him when Herc chucks them off the helicarrier and he can't reabsorb them. And he can't just make uber-powerful weapons by absorbing the tech in the heli-carrier, at least not instantaneously. That would take major time. The most he could do is if Herc rips off an arm, make a much weaker secondary arm form teh stuff on the Helicarrier.
Nimrod's wiki bio says his scanners detect superhuman powers and their type, not just mutants. Nimrod has so many resources to draw upon he'll eventually either overwhelm or outsmart Hercules.
It isn't easy to outsmart Herc in abttle. he might just look liek a drunk, but he is one of the best fighters in teh MU capable of going toe-to-toe with Thor and Hulk. In fact, the only thing harder to do that outsmart him in battle would be to overwhelm him. He has amazing durability and endurance and is basically immortal.
Nimrod has a great deal of attacks and can adapt, but he can only adapt so much. If he could really become that much strogner or more durable, than he would have just stuck to the upgrade long ago. All the attacks he has, Herc has seen before, and Herc has defeated before. I most cases, the attacks by the other people were stronger than what Nimrod has shown capable of. Herc will rip away at Nimrod form the start of the fight, and Nimrod's healing won't be able to keep up. Herc often holds back so he doesn't take a lifge, but against this machine he will be able ot truly let loose and destroy him.
Winner- Hercules
