Who Wins?

Scoobless
smile

Scoobless
big grin

Scoobless
not that i would ever decide a match based on that crossover (or almost any crossover)...... but i think Cap would take him...... he has all the moves but Cap's probably still a little faster and has a better natural mind for fighting

ZephroCarnelian
Job's a good 'un, Scoob! smile

Superherovandal
Prometheus would just upload Caps fighting skill.

Scoobless
where would he get it from?... even if he watched him to get it Cap can change styles on the fly...... like when he beat Black Panther in Contest of Champions.......

*and with these words he heard the sound of a million groans*

Superherovandal
well he did almost singlehandedly beat the JLA

Avalonofthewind
What crossover was the scoobless? I'd like to pick that up.

Fanboy
Captain America would win because he is the hero.

Scoobless
it's the Avengers JLA crossover from a year or two ago

That match was crap. Prometheus would own Cap.

Who is Prmoetheus and what can He do?

Of Prometheus' own design, Omni-CDs are small discs of compiled data that fit into his helmet and are used to download information directly into Prometheus' brain. The CDs are about the size of a standard mini-disc though they are capable of containing giga-bytes of information. Double-sided and scratch-proof, these CDs are slipped into the side of his helmet and laser-read, feeding the information on them through Prometheus' helmet and to his brain and nervous system. His most prized possession, Prometheus' omni-CDs number nearly a thousand and have information on them ranging from obscure historical facts to the most advanced meta-physics. Frighteningly, Prometheus can also load onto these discs nervous system information compiled from observing others. Batman got a first-hand demonstration of this when Prometheus loaded an Omni-CD containing The Batman's own fighting skills to use against him.

Prometheus' costume is a marvel of technology. Made of a bullet and fire-resistant Kevlar/Nomex weave and re-inforced along the shoulders and forearms with heavy armor, his costume provides a great deal of physical protection. The suit also acts as an advanced interface for his helmet, helping feed information through-out his nervous system far more swiftly than would be possible with the helmet alone. In addition, the costume contains a pair of deadly weapons in the fore-arm gauntlets; a pair of multi-use guns in which Prometheus houses various toxins, poisons and even standard bullets.

Created by Prometheus, his helmet is used for more than just cranial protection. Acting as a launch-pad for his Omni-CDs, Prometheus' helmet uses advanced systems to load information straight into his brain and nervous system, allowing him to have almost any conceivable knowledge readily at his fingertips. In addition, Prometheus' helmet is decked out with an advanced light-system that can be used to create hypnotic as well as disorienting strobe effects. Recently, Prometheus has upgraded his helmet to treat his brain as something akin to "flash memory", allowing him to store Omni-CDs without the helmet actually being on. Of course, this doesn't allow him the wide access of knowledge as he would have at his fingertips with the back-up memory of his helmet, but it's still nice to have certain knowledge at his fingertips without having to rely on the helmet itself. Finally, the helmet comes complete with its own oxygen supply and filtration system in case of loss of atmosphere.

the match was ok.... there's no way Prometheus could have known that Cap had a photonic shield in his glove.... maybe he got taken out through surprise..... either way i'd say natural fighting skills beat electronically downloaded ones.... except in the Matrix

Prometheus preferred weapon is an absolute marvel of technology. Though true to its core design (that of a dual-handled, ultra-versatile, close and melee-combat, bludgeoning weapon), Prometheus personally designed tonfa is much, much more. Housing both a high-powered current-producing voltage generator as well as a seismic repeater, this particular tonfa goes far beyond what one would expect. Keyed to both his helmet as the master control, as well as a simple activation stud slaved to the helmet, the voltage generator can be activated to sheathe the tonfa in voltage in strength ranging from stunning to beyond lethal. Most fearsome though is the tonfas seismic charger, a device built into the handle that causes barely perceivable oscillations along the business end of the weapon. Combined with a cylindrical-gyroscopic core of Prometheus own design, this makes the weapon feel incredibly light, while enabling it to deliver blows that shatter steel as the oscillations set up vibrations within objects that cause them to break apart as if they were brittle as glass. Prometheus has been known to effortlessly demolish steel anvils and crumble concrete slabs with little more than casual swings of his deadly weapon.

Built into Prometheus helmet is a sophisticated light array that he employs for various effects. At their most mundane setting, the lights merely provide illumination, but they are also capable of creating disorienting strobe effects as well as flickering in precise patterns that (in combination with subtle cues from Prometheus) can actually hypnotize others. Recently, Prometheus has added to the capability of these lights, increasing their repeat capacity as well as adding to their luminance in order to create dazzling light patterns that can actually induce epileptic seizures. In addition, Prometheus has added sound generators to his helmet that interfere with the inner ear of those around him, resulting in temporary loss of balance and vertigo.

Draco69
Weapons:

Neural Chaff (reduces your brain processes to that of a child)
A mulitude of neurotoxins (gas or darts)
Speed Force Mines (countermeasure against Flash)
Spider Lines (think Spider-Man's webbing)
De-hydrant Spray (destroys all water molecules in your body)
Goo (Super-Glue putty. Can stretch to hundreds of feet. Suffocation method)
Shriekers (Insidious little devices about the size of a quarter, shriekers are noise-creators that emit a piercing high-frequency sound capable of doing temporary damage to eardrums as well as causing intense pain. )



In other words: Cap is f***ed.

Scoobless
he can't use all those weapons at once and he still has to make the right decisions for any of it to be effective..... Cap fights guys overloaded with weapons often.... the photonic shield itself isn't too shabby..... he stopped the Rhino with it

Got to like his tonfa big grinOriginally posted by Draco69

Actually he can. The weapons are computer-controlled. His helmet assigns different tasks to different parts of his brain. He can multitask like a computer.

Prometheus is the anti-Batman. Just much more ruthless and willing to kill.

One atomic bullet (forgot to add that) and it's over.

Superherovandal
which of the JLA did he beat anyway, all knowing DC Jedi Master Draco?

Draco69
Martian Manhunter
Batman
Huntress
Zauriel
Steel
Plastic Man
Green Lantern
Flash

and he would have owned Superman but Catwoman ( What the f**k? ) hit his balls with a speed of sound whipcrack. (OUCH!)

Superherovandal
how would he have owned Supes? blink

Draco69
A "Red Bomb". It emits lethal red solar radiation.

Superherovandal
man Supes is officially DC's whipping boy now.

dawsey28
Supes has weaknesses. JLA # 16 and 17 should be read.


So in that crossover that was mentioned earlier. Prometheus ONLY uploaded bats fighting skills and not the other 29 greatest martial artists?

If he uploaded more he could possibly beat Cap. Or if he used other techniques.

Superherovandal
I know he has weaknesses but he gets beat every boy who decides to become a villian by DC.

Mider
And how does Captain America beat Prometheus again?

chilled monkey
Prometheus is tough, but he relies on gadgets way too much. He'd underestimate Cap and that would be his downfall.

I'm no expert, but don't think downloaded skills can beat real ones (at least with someone as good as Cap.) Downloaded skills would (I think) follow fixed patterns. This would allow Cap to outmaneuver him.

How did Prometheus take down the JLA? What tactics did he use?

That's exactly how it went down too.
