The Ultimate DC/Marvel Tournament - Part 7

[Rozen Thorne]

You guys convinced me, I'll throw in with BA.

 

[Lobo]

Thunder crackles across a country, and a continent shakes as two beings of immense power come to blows. As they battle for supremacy, mountains are turned to rubble, the oceans rage, and on this day, the ruler of Khandaq is the victor. His enemy defeated for now escapes before death. The Count vowing to return and destroy his new adversary.

Black Adam wins a tough battle.

Ikaris



Vs

Maxima

 

[Babillygunn]

I’m biased because of my love of Panic in the Sky, but I have to go with Maxima. Anyone who can take on Braniac or Doomsday and hold their own is someone to be reconned with.

Ikaris is more of a rip off of Orion or Lightray. Maxima has beaten both of them.

I'm agreeing with this.

Funny you say that because I was thisclose to making it Ikaris vs Orion

 

[Lobo]

Maxima wins. She still searches for a suitable mate in this new universe.

Next up since he was mentioned in a previous reply

Orion



Vs

Beta Ray Bill

 

[Babillygunn]

This is legit one of the hardest calls. And it really depends on who is writing, because Orion can either be an indestructible powerhouse with a short fused temper, or he is the guy who has been killed in the comics multiple times and tends to go out very easily.

Assuming the former (which is a bit more how I see Kirby writing him) I’d go with Orion in the battle of indestructible titans simply because Orion is more hot headed. But if Jim Starlin is writing them, my vote would be Beta Ray Bill.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

They have the same strength level. But once you consider rage, speed and durability I think Orion has a slight advantage.

It would be a long, nasty fight but I'll go with Orion.

 

[Lobo]

I'm leaning a bit towards Orion because of the Mother Box. However I can legitimately see these two going 5 and 5 in ten bouts.

@Babillygunn who would be your pick of Walt Simonson was writing?

I just recently reread The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill so I wanted to use him. Such a great trade.

@Rozen Thorne any thoughts on this battle?

 

[Rozen Thorne]

Considering all the guys Orion has fought and all the ones Bill has fought and their gear is on a similar level and all the Orion vs Thor debates I've read... there is an argument that Orion is on a slightly higher tier than Bill. I'd say Orion 7/10.

That’s the thing. It is a really tough call. Ironically I’d probably go with Orion, but I wasn’t thinking about the motherbox I was thinking that he has the Astroharness which, let’s face it, can do about anything depending on what the writer wants it to do.

 

[Lobo]

After a long, bloody, and closely contested battle, the Dog of War emerges victorious.

OK I've got a new one.

Ryan Choi aka The Atom




Vs

The Leader

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Random encounter and I think the Atom can overwhelm the Leader's primary defenses.

Any amount of prep time and the Leader easily contains him.

 

[Rozen Thorne]

^^This. Going subatomic with a surprise attack is about the only way Atom can win, He's a good scientist but he isn't in the same class as Sterns when it comes to prep.

 

[Babillygunn]

I would agree, and given that The Leader exists in a universe with Hank Pym, I’m going to assume that he has prepared for a subatomic attack and likely wouldn’t be caught off guard.

I like Ryan and he’s infinitely cooler than Ray Palmer. But he doesn’t win this one.

 

[Lobo]

Sterns proves his superior scientific genius as he takes down Ryan Choi. The Leader wins. Let's go back to some heavy hitters.

Hyperion



Vs


Power Girl




I am admittedly biased and voting for PG

 

[Rozen Thorne]

I admit I'm extremely biased, that said... Powergirl stomps Hyperion into the dirt. He has always been a lesser Superman clone, with some high feats but some really bad low showings. He's a better fighter but PG is on another level.

I was unsure so I read this extended breakdown and I'm convinced PG wins.

[Lobo]

Thanks! I'm gonna go read that breakdown. I wanted to use PG and be seemed the best opponent I could think of

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I'd say Power Girl's super genius intelligence gives her the advantage over Hyperion.

Superman's powers are nothing if you don't know how to effectively use them.

That is a superbly detailed breakdown. I fixed the link for you

I will say I don't think PG comes out unscathed. From what I remember, Hyperion's best feat is holding two planets apart. Still PG got this.

 

[Rozen Thorne]

Oh I agree, she's going to be beaten and bloody for sure, but she can take him.

 

[Babillygunn]

Yeah, I’ve got nothing to add that hasn’t already been said. Power Girl wins this one.
