I do have to ask when the amulet did something like that especially when Hector had it.
It's been described as such countless times, although I can't find a concrete showing of Hector using it right now. Still, we know the amulet stayed the same, just the man behind the helmet changed.
Actually this version of Dr. Strange controlled the elements. When he used fire it was actual fire not magical fire. So it isn't actually magic.
I was talking about the Waterbearer. It can take normal fire just fine, because it's magic.
No it isn't. You are ambushing my teleporter. Which ambushing any teleporter is very hard to do cause you have no idea where they are. What makes it even harder is that neither Aquaman, Terrific, or Beast can teleport.
What's she going to do? It's Aquaman's location, they have a tactical edge, and he can take her down before she teleports. Really, teleporting is overrated in this case. It's not going to help her avoid Aquaman's attack.
She has shown the ability to use telepathy. She helped keep the others mindlinked even.
Doesn't change a thing. He's not directly attacking your mind. He's attacking the parts of the brain that evolved from marine life. Besides that, he's a telepath capable of standing up to Despero.
Haha. There was nothing in there that suggested he was going to defeat SS. In fact Quasar even mentions his body was feeling SS's blasts through even his armor. Quasar also mentions how SS's power seems limitless. When they later met during Starmasters he was amazed at SS's power and SS ripped right through his constructs. Quasar even said that SS could of done that at anytime. He also showed he wasn't fast enough to keep up with SS.
In fact, during that first fight, Quasar wonders quite a bit about whether he could beat the Surfer if he had to. I can't dispute the Starmasters issues, but everything I've read of the two suggest they're in the same ballpark.
For a very short time and he had help. That was also a very bad showing for Galactus. Herald Johnny was giving him a hard time. Helped defeat him even.....
He had no help. The Fantastic Four were busy formulating a plan. And Johnny and the others were able to defeat him not because of Johnny's new capabilities, but because of some clever tactics and machinery.
Ah, again easily dismissing the fact that Dr. Strange has both an experience advantage and the Soulsword. As far as team work all you have is Aquaman aiding Fate against Dr. Strange all the while he is supposed to be helping defeat Magik and Inertia.
Is it somehow impossible for Fate to hold off Strange for a while? That's not an over and done with thing. On his first outing, Hector took down Mordru, the guy that killed Shazam and was able to match Nabu, a Lord of Order. Aquaman can easily help beat the regs and then aid Fate.
Which is where you made your biggest mistake. I don't have my team out and about looking for yours. I have them also cloaked and searching for yours. I don't have them leaving each other until they have located your team. This is also where you are straight up ignoring Starhawks cosmic awareness.
Obviously not in your scenario, but then again, in your scenario my team also magically doesn't have a tactics advantage. Dr. Strange isn't much of a leader, Starhawk is emotionally cold, SoV is a loose cannon. There is no real unity there, whereas my guys know each other very well.
I think by the fact you are completely leaving out Starhawks CA, have SoV off doing something while Aquaman, Beast, and Terrific somehow find and ambush my teleporter means you are also underestimating my teams strengths.
"Somehow"? How hard is to ambush someone in a city like Poseidonis? Just because Magik can teleport doesn't mean she can't be taken unaware. Nightcrawler gets punked as well, and he's a lot better porter than Magik is. You're really overrating her abilities in this. And again, the Spirit of Vengeance, not really inclined to stick with your team, is going to go off and search for my team. He finds them soon enough, but in that time, your regs go down.
