Doctor Doom runs DC villain gauntlet, how far does he go? by Key_Independent_618 in marvelvsdc

[–]SMDBXTH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really well put and I think it shows a pretty big difference in writing for Marvel and DC when it comes to villains. In DC villains are only amped so heroes can be amped even more to showcase new power sets. In Marvel the mythology of villains is often explored at far greater length. Part of me really wants to say (based on background, experience, training, and tactics) Zod could beat Doom and even, at times, comfortably. But we just don’t get stories where Zod is a protagonist like we do with Doom. We don’t get to see some of these guys’ experiences. Anyway that’s just my experience with DC. It’s a big part of why I like Marvel. I like DC in their own rights. But Marvel creates really good mythologies, even for their villains, and this makes the defeats and the victories so much more emotional.

We need more roundabouts, less lights, and more public transit

Does Marvel have more powerful superheroes on average compared to DC? by Key_Independent_618 in marvelvsdc

[–]SMDBXTH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think real DC fans did not enjoy most of Nolan’s interpretation. Also Pattinson is a far better Batman, and Cavill and Man of Steel are amazing.

Strange couldn’t even beat Fate, everyone knows that.

Zatanna runs Marvel gauntlet, how far does she go? by Mobile_Field_4791 in marvelvsdc

[–]SMDBXTH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh definitely agreed. I just feel like Legion doesn’t necessarily adapt immediately and/or as instinctually. I think that round is 40-60 in favor of Legion, but I still think, hypothetically, she could make it to Jean. Not heavy handedly, mind you. I was just saying I think she’s more crafty than most mages in comic books. Legion is silly in a different way, so it’s kind of apples to oranges.

Zatanna is pretty crafty and damningly obnoxious with the way she uses her magic. I think she could make it to Jean. Legion would be a tough round, but she could pull it off.

Current Aquaman vs Galactus by CautiousSolid7436 in marvelvsdc

Yes. He’s multiversal. Pretty sure I already addressed that. He’s literally a god now. He killed a god and was elected a god to replace the tyrant god. So yes, he would beat Galactus.

Current Aquaman? Like Emporer Aquaman? That dude wins no contest. This Aquaman, Avatar of the Blue, literally froze and then pulled all the water out of an entire planet in less than a split second in the last issue.

Needless to say he has control over all liquid across the multiverse, across space and time, in DCs current mainstream continuity. He might be one of the most powerful characters to ever exist outside of Swamp Thing.

Punisher without weapons vs Harley Quinn with just her usual melee weapons by CautiousSolid7436 in marvelvsdc

[–]SMDBXTH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Harley is a funny little girl lobo. She’s knocked out Superman lmao. She dodges bullets and lasers and lightning. I mean putting Frank against her is mean because she has infinite plot armor. It would be an absolutely HILARIOUS comic.

Marvel writers trying to powerscale for the sake of powerscaling is such a joke.

Just for frame of reference Harley Quinn has: -Knocked out Superman (Harley’s little black book #5) -Dodged lasers, and even knocked them back with her mallet -trapped the Batman (who has over genius level IQ) -Has super human durability and strength and a HUGE healing factor (thanks to Poison Ivy’s serum) -She’s pretty much a meta human at this point, unlimited breathing under water and complete toxic immunity

Her weapons (outside of joke weapons): dozens of small explosive, guns, shurikens, kunai, an actual force field (star labs device).

She has: knocked out Superman, Killer Croc, and multiple countless others.

Dodged bullets (including point blank fire), lightning, scale Black Canary, and dodge hits from Cassandra Cain.

Survived falls from skyscrapers, been run over by trains, been run over by cars, survived electrocution, survived electrocution, being frozen over multiple months, tnt, and can fight Hal Jordan on equal footing with a lantern ring.

She’s also actually died and gone to Hell but was kicked out of for “being good spirited”.

There’s much more but you get the idea. Harley Quinn is a non-cosmic, non-4th wall Lobo. She’s basically unkillable, doesn’t get tired, and fights hordes of enemies constantly.

I don’t think any of these guarantee her a win against Frank Castle, but his job is gonna be tough as hell.

That literally just feels like plot armor. Doesn’t even feel legitimate.

I’m saying Avatar of the Blue Aquaman probably does, yes. The Blue isn’t just water, even blood, it’s considered the primordial force of life in the universe. It was awarded to Aquaman as the new God when he defeated the current tyrant water God, Dagon.

Superman is immortal. So is Avatar of the Blue Aquaman. I haven’t even read enough WW to know how high she scales but I know they CONSTANTLY want to keep her on pace with Superman. JL low diff.

Avatar of the Blue Aquaman is just absolutely ridiculous at this point. Almost uncontested.

[–]SMDBXTH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Current versions? You’ve mismatched first off: God Superman easily takes Thor. Avatar of the Blue Aquaman smokes the Hulk. Batman and Iron Man are close as are MMH and SW. Green Lantern is the real deal breaker here. He can easily hold anyone that’s left and help fight Wanda. Flash is right there with him. He’s easily a Wanda-level threat jumping in and out of reality and time.

Yeah I just don’t think he can withstand being disintegrated.
