REBUTTAL: Pulsar vs Maestro
Rebuttal Well green doesn't mean that. It could mean he's a skrull for all we know, but that's not really a big point or anything.
Considering you yourself also suggested she'd also figure that out, I think we can rule out debate on this one. Besides, Skrulls have that distinctive ridge thing to their chins.
The thing about Pulsar is that she can absorb/manipulate gamma radiation, but she has bever done it against the Hulk. She has even fough thim beofre and has still never siphoned off his radiation before (at least not that I'm aware of). Not only has she never done this before, but this is Maestro. His whole backstroy is that he is much stronger than Hulk because he has absorbed all the radiation from basically a worldwide nuclear war. He not only has much more radiation inside him than any other Hulk, but he has a bunch of different radiations inside him as well. So not only would Pulsar has to do something she has never done before (and doesn't know if she can do) in siphoning off enough energy to weaken Maestro, but she has to manipulate many different types of radiation as well. And I have only ever seen her do one at a time before. She simply will not have the time to do this. Maestro is smart an dwould know if he is being weakened and would instantly attack Pulsar to make her stop.
- I don't recall her fighting the Hulk much at all, and if she did, it would be with the Avengers. I doubt she figured she'd have to try something like this. Desperate times however, call for desperate measures. There's also no reason to assume she CAN'T pull this off, as she literally has control of every aspect of the electromagnetic spectrum, including gamma rays.
- His main source of power is still the power induced by the gamma radiation. If she can take this away, he's a lot more vulnerable to her powers.
- He'll know he's weakening, but then he'd have to find Pulsar. She can hide above the treeline, or somewhere else. If he discovers her, she can switch to another frequency almost immediately and make her escape.
I don't even think Maestro can turn into Banner anymore. he never has and is in Hulk form all teh time. not only that, but saying "it's the easiest way to defeat a Hulk" isn't saying much really. While true, it's not like everyone has done this to him before. Only the absolute best energy manipulators in Marvel have accomplished this like Silver SUrfer, and Pulsar is in no way as good at energy manipulation as Surfer.
Well, just because he hasn't doesn't mean he can't. He wouldn't want to though. He should still have a human form. Even then, absorbing his gamma radiation should severely weaken him. And although I'll agree she isn't as proficient as the Surfer, she is one of the top energy absorbers in the MU. It's kinda her schtick.
Then why is it basically every time anyone goes into the Savage Land you see tribes? They are everywhere. This might be a big place, but it is also densely populated. And it's not like Maestro isn't used to people running away. He's caught them hundreds of times and could easily do so again. What they hid in a tree? Thunderclap all the trees for a mile. When he wants to bring people into the equation he has plenty of ways to accomplish it.
The Savage Land is much like a real rainforest. Indeed, there are tribes, but they are not easy to find. Just about any superhero that comes to Savage Land crashes there, often landing near a tribe for plot convience, or later being found by a tribe because of the gigantic crash. I really don't believe it's THAT densely populated. Maestro would have to land among a group of innocents to find them, I do think.
He doesn't need a defense against this. Not many people have been able to do this to him. If it was really that easy, then the Illuminatti would have just absorbed his energy instead of shooting him off into space. Actually his source of power is gamma radiation and many other types of radiation as well. And sice she has only ever been shown to manipulate/absorb one energy at a time, she's in a pickle. That is if she can even absorb enough energy from Maestro to weaken him which I doubt.
- Well, obviously, the shot him into space for World War Hulk.
- Plot convinience. You've literally got the greatest minds on the Illuminati. Logically speaking, the Hulk would've been cured decades ago.
- I never said it would be easy, but I think she can avoid the Maestro long enough to pull it off.
- His main source of power is still the gamma radiation.
And he can destroy that dense place witha thunderclap. It isn't hard for him to do and Pulsar would then have to save everyone in that thunderclap range (which is quite large) So she will basically be throwing herself into a thunderclap which would really mess her up if not knock her out completely.
She should be able to avoid the impact of that thunderclap by switching to a different frequency on the EM spectrum. Using her quick speed (she's Quicksilver speeds without needing to transform) she can save about everyone and then take on Maestro.
Her pwer makes her a edcent opponent if she was better at using it. She's good, but she is nowhere near as good as the types that have siphoned Hulk's powers before like Surfer.
She has shown to be quite well at using them, and has used them for numerous years now. She's not as good, but then again, there is no better energy manipulator than the Surfer in the MU anyway.
Not only that, but I made a major misstep before when I said Maestro couldn't hurt Pulsar in energy form. He can.
He has battled pure energy beings before and hurt them easily enough, so he should be able to hurt her as well.
Zzzax is not pure energy. He's pure
electricity. There's a difference there. Considering she's been able to phase through things before, I don't see why this should be any different.
WINNER=PULSAR
