The Marvel/DC "3 vs. 3" Battle thread

Avengers

 

[Harlekin]

You don't think that would be Thor matching up on Supes and Iron Man on (if Stark gets his way...) Wonder Woman..?

No, DC's got a speed advantage. They decide the play.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

On paper, Thor has a speed advantage as well. Problem with that as well as the DC crew is that they rarely use it.

 

[Harlekin]

Thor and Iron Man are nowhere near Superman and Wonder Woman's level of speed.

 

[SuperFerret]

Thor theoretically can move as fast as "lightning", however he uses his speed FAR less frequently than Superman or Diana.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Thor and Iron Man are nowhere near Superman and Wonder Woman's level of speed.

Even Hela, a fellow god, said Thor moves faster han can be comprehended, aster than the eye can follow. He blew by Quicksilver and he didn't even see him.

Thor has the speed to set the play as well as Superman or WW.

Save the DC 'we hae the only real speedsters' elitism at the door.

 

[SuperFerret]

Thor doesn't use his speed as much as Clark or Diana do.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Which isn't saying much seeing as neither of those 2 use them in battles 90% of the time. Thor doesn't use his 95% of the time.

Dosn't mean that ability evaporates.

 

[Harlekin]

More like 99% of the time. Thor's speed is a non-factor and that Quicksilver can't see him isn't really impressive. For most of his career, Quicksilver could barely out-run a Ferrari. Supes and Wondy can go just short of the speed of light and have demonstrated these speeds regularly.

Either way you do it, that's still two speedsters on the side of DC, as opposed to one - who is already out of their league - on Marvel's side.

Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman stalls Thor.
Superman takes out Iron Man.
Batman stalemates with Captain America.
Superman and Wonder Woman double on Thor, beat him.
The three of them take out Captain America.

Despite my love of the Avengers I'd be inclined to agree with this...EXCEPT....

I don't think Wonder Woman can hold her own with Thor, let alone stall himif he cuts loose on her. I'm not taking anything away from Wonder Woman just giving Thor his due.

Course he might not cut loose on her seeing as how he rarely cuts loose on anyone, and he might undersestimate her on account of her being a woman.

But here's the catch, Superman isn't going to go all out on Iron Man. Heck Supes might just hold back enough that Tony (who never has any qualms about using the big guns) to stall Kal-el long enough for Harl's scenario to unfold in the opposite direction.

So my vote...after talking myself into it...the Avengers

 

[bkhedr]

Just to be clear I choose not to address the speed issue because the whole speed attribute is out of hand in DC to the point where it doesn't make sense to me anymore. (to be honest most everything in the DCU looks like a crowded mess to me)

In any case if Supes didn't use his speed when fighting Doomsday, why would he use it against Iron Man?

It wont' matter though. The only one of the Avengers that can even tough Kal is Thor. You've already said WW is stalling Thor. It doesn't matter if Tony uses EVERYTHING in his arsenal. Unless his arsenal starting coming equipped with Kryptonite based weapons and magic wands... The Avengers are going to get ****ed.

Thor's got a pretty f***ing big magic wand...

And I think you'll find he said WW ISN'T stalling Thor.

That said, I still think Supes, WW and Bats take it out as a three.

Exactly. Maybe it'll penetrate coming from someone else.

DC's speed rankings are a mixed bag of nonsensical crud and yet any random DC fan will proclaim that _____ is faster than about anyone in Marvel.

As to the D-Day example, that just highlights my point. Supes and WW are about as likely to use his speed as Thor. Period.

 

[Harlekin]

It's not about speed in battle. It's about speed in determining who gets to fight who. If Wonder Woman is on Thor and Superman on Iron Man before either opponent can even move, that gives the DCers the advantage.

 

[SuperFerret]

Yeah, if the Avengers are fighting a defensive battle from the get go, they're at a disadvantage.

Let's face it, these six are among the best of the best in their respective universes, so none of them are going to be push overs. This is probably going to be a drawn out battle.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

I agree SF and I'll take that cue to agree to disagree.

 

[Blacklight]

Well if my tallying is correct the final score is 6 (including Hound's vote) to 5 for Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. I'll post the next match up soon.

 

[Majic Walrus]

Oh. Then you're just wrong.

 

[Blacklight]

The next match, ladies and gentlemen:

SPIDER-MAN, SCARLET WITCH and INVISIBLE WOMAN

vs.


GREEN LANTERN, AQUAMAN and ZATANNA

 

[Johnny Blaze]

As much as I hate to vote for Hal, he, along with Aquaman and Zatanna, take it.

Maybe if it was cosmic Spidey, but a GL is just out of his league. Sue's the real wild card in this, but I don't think she'll be enough to tip the scales.

 

[SuperFerret]

This all comes down to whether or not the Marvel team can keep Zatanna quiet before she says something to end the fight, which is certainly possible, although it'd be extremely hard with Hal and Arthur running interference.

DC wins.

I could picture Sue using her force field powers to make a bubble around Zatanna's head to cut off her oxygen until she passes out, or Wanda using her hex magic to make Zee's spells backfire. However, you're correct in Hal and Arthur most likely interfering before they can do that if Spidey can't keep them both busy long enough for Sue or Wanda to complete that task

Zee would be able to talk in th bubble and I'm not sure how well Wanda's powers would work against her magic. Spidey actually has the best chance of stopping her, providing he can realize that she uses magic words to cast spells and can web up her mouth fast enough.

Quite true. I forgot Spidey could use his webbing. He is pretty smart, so maybe at some point he'll figure that out. He is pretty good at figuring out his opponent's weaknesses eventually
