Simple. They loose. Ain't no team of X-men beating the fantastic four. stick out tongue

Wynndar
Whats the fascination with the X-Men beating the F4? I thought it was clear that the X-Men fight evil mutants while the F4 are Earth's firsts line of Defense against comsic and interdimensional threats.

Dont you mean Reed Richards is the Earths first line of defense against cosmic and interdimensional threats. The other three are just along for the ride.

Imagine if Reed was the leader of the X-men....................

Wynndar
No I don't mean that at all. The Thing was a competent leader of the F4 and so was Invisible Woman. IW was still the leader when they first fought Hyperstorm. Reed was there but he wasn't leading the team. What if Reed were the leader of the X-Men? I don't get it. I think you have an inflated view of the X-Men. The F4 are generally more powerful than the X-Men.

snoopdogg
If they fought based on their powers alone the X-men should be able to beat the FF.

The only reason the FF win most of their conflicts is due to some device or machine that Reed keeps in his pocket.

well you're entitled to your opinion. But that leads me to think you don't know much about the F4's powers. Based on their powers IW can protect the team, which she does frequently, and either she or her brother could single handedly over power or destroy that whole team of X-Men.

I'm not referring to prep time at all. When the Torch displays the upper limits of his powers he has over powered Graviton and burned through planets. Galactus called his power deadly when he attempted a supernova on him. U realize the Torch almost destroyed the Earth once when he was being controlled by a maniac? No because you haven't read much F4. IW has broken through the armor of Exitar and destroyed his physical manifestation. When Angry, she effortlessly put a huge invisible battering ram all the way through Galactus' chest! When the Thing was able to change back and forth from Ben Grimm, his Thing form retaliated by reproducing itself hundreds of times into an army of Things that would have destroyed the FF, Avengers, X-Men, and the rest of civilization, if not for the intervention of a highly evolved omnipotent piece of the Thing's skin. The Thing gas also held his own against the Hulk, Champion of the Universe, Terrax, Wrecker, Ronin the Accuser, Occulus, Blackbolt, etc. People who normally take on more teams and who individually possess more power than this whole team of X-Men. Reed has fought Doom, Namor, and Crucible one on one. He generally comes up with the means to defeat incalculably powerful enemies like the Dreaming Celestial. But if you read F4 comics, you would know they routinely fight and defeat powerful teams and individuals of superior magnitude than the X-Men.

ha ha ha ha, yeah, IW couldn't take this whole team, and her brother gets punked by storm easy.



really? when jean grey shows the upper limits of her powers, she blinks and almost everything is destroyed. when storm shows the upper-most of her powers, she could destroy the planet and make it unlivable. when xavier shows the upmost of his powers he could kill almost everyone on the planet. same goes for polaris and iceman. galactus may think torch is powerful, but he gets killed by phoenix who is an x-man and always will be. when angry, phoenix threatens all of existance, and when angry, storm could destroy the world. yeah, 100's of thngs did that, not one. storm has fought doom, and he was scared of her.

Wynndar
Well I guess debating with you is pointless. The Torch is beaten by storm because he doesnt want to hurt her. He has already almost killed her, and that was an accident and with his lowest level of flame. The Torch HAS almost destroyed the Earth...he has actually changed its shape. I've never seen Storm effect the entire planet. Regardless effecting the weather on the whole plane is highly less impressive than blowing a hole through it. Jean Grey is highly powerful. Almost as powerful as IW. However using the EXTERNAL power of the Phoenix she is one of the most powerful humans ever. That is not under her own power though. All you've done is regurgitate information an 8 year old could decipher from watching the X-Men cartoon. However, since you know little about the F4, you were oblivious to the information I told you. It is obvious that the FF are more powerful than X-Men. Thats why memebers of the F4 can take on big opponents all on their own. Storm couldnt fight Devos, Lyja, and Paibok all on her own. Torch took them on and overpowered them.

And what happened to your argument about prep time? U assume the F4 need prep time since you don't read F4, u just HEARD they use a lot of prep time. I demonstrated those examples and you didnt respond to that at all...just changes the subject to how powerful the X-Men COULD be.

and debating with you is pointless, because you are overly biased to the f4. the torch can;t hurt storm. a pressure dome would protect her from his attacks. storm could just as easily kill torch. and because you haven't seen storm affect the entire lanet doesn't mean it hasn't happened. you aren't an avid reader of the x-men anyway. omg, i can't believe you just said jean was almost as powerful as IW. jean would absolutley kill IW. no questions asked, IW is a little ant compared to jean. the phoenix isn't an outside force for jean, the pf is jeans ultimate mutation. they are one. even w/out the pf, jean easily betas sue. it is obvious that the x-men are more powerful than the f4. iceman alone could take the f4.

Wynndar
Im not attacking the writers...they did their best. But the story arcs in F4 and X-Men have often taken years to develop ie when Defalco or Byrne were writing.

Tha C-Master
There are like SIX of these threads now, I'm convinced if you put phoenix on the damned team they'd still lose stick out tongue

xmen are nothing to the FF dammit!!!!

Continuity v Byrne

Continuity always loses.

The man who created so many hole in continuity means they will never be tied up. Funniest was his 2 origins of the Vision.

Serious Whirly for a minute confused If you have ever read his "Next Men" book, where he had a column called "a flame about this high", you will realise what a bitter man he is laughing out loud

Torch has never fired Nova flame at Storm...It would kill her. Even his weakest flame would kill her. He grazed her on accident and she nearly died. THE TORCH BLEW A HOLE THROUGH THE EARTH AND INCREASED THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CORE CAUSING THE PLANET TO EXPAND AND U THINK A PRESSURE DOME WOULD PROTECT STORM FROM THAT?!!!??!?!?!?. Im an F4 fan I'll admit. But ur an utter fanboy. PF and JG's natural powers r two different things...saying they are connected by destiny is simply that writers vision. Anyone can use resoning to prove otherwise. F4 are Marvel's most effective team. The X-Men are evil mutant crime fighters and their comics are awesome. I do read X-Men, I grew up reading Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine was my favorite in 5th grade. I still buy all Uncanny and X-Men...but I avoid buying Astonishing X-Men and the other titles...I just read through them when Im in the store. So I'd be happy to debate with you if you could come up with some support from the comic books instead of saying how "OBVIOUS" it is that the X-Men would win even though they have a huge roster and routinely fight less powerful villains than the FF.

Tha C-Master
I honestly like the xmen more as street level guys anyway it was more interesting than everyone becoming godlike...

Wynndar
The Torch doesnt unleash his powers on earthly level foes and certainly not heroines like Storm. But a good example was in the infinity war crossover F4 #370. Magus sends evil clones of the X-Men and dozens of other heroes to fight the F4. He is in an aerial battle and outnumbered. So he starts tagging them with nova flame. One of the First one's is Storm and she is killed instantly.

Tha C-Master
Yes, that is the problem the FF are clearly more powerful, but are bound by CIS, thats the ONLY way they'd lose.
I dont believe a fight to the death was specified, thats the only reason this is more of a match.
Same ol discussion as last night, that I have little interest in delving into again,lol.

i never said a nove blast wouldn't kill her, I thought we were talking about just a regular blast which would have not affected her if she were in a pressure dome. once again, jean grey's ultimate mutation is the pf. if she were at her highest she would be the phoenix. that's the way it is. talk to galactic, he knows more about it than I do, but you know nothing of the subject. storm, polaris, emma frost, and psylock can beat the f4. it could go either way, but imo the x-women win more times than not. if it were bloodlust, then I believe that it would come down to who attacks first. and about killing galactus, I didn't mean actually kill him, I was just sayig that to show her power. but if you put a certain team of x-men against the f4, then the x-men could win.

Chaholdrudan
u make is sound as if FF is the most powerful team in Marvel..and not just a team...what's next the Torch becomes the new superman..yeah right...

Why do you buy Uncanny but avoid Astonishing? Astonishing is way better.

why does everybody get so ****ing pissy when x-men versus fantastic four comes up?

inevitably, everyone mentions how pissed they are that the x-men got powerful. what the ****? how in the world can that piss you off? what about the x-men makes you think that it is a travesty whenever they increase in power? is there some sort of unwritten law that claremont broke when he decided that some mutants should grow in power? i admit, claremont blows, but mutants growing in power isn't any stupider than thing going from class 5 back in the day to class 100 now, or superman going from jumping to flying lightspeed.

rant...terminated.

astonishing x-men is a better comic than anything fantastic four has done for years.

and ps: colossus>thing
jean>IW

Trolt
Wow.... why are you spazzing about jean grey again ? I dont' recall her being in the emma frost/polaris/psyclocke/storm group. If you're gonna add people in the battle then at least change your first post too.

I agree completely. The X-Men have had their upgrades, but so have the FF.

But in THIS fight... I don't know... I give it to the FF. But a better fight would be FF vs Colossus, Cyclops, Storm and Bishop.

(I am not including Xavier and Iceman, because the FF wouldn't stand a chance if they were included).

if you are refering to me, I never added jean grey in the battle. I was only responding to the fact that AC said that jean isn't as powerful as sue, but really jeans pinkey could beat sue easy. try and get your fact straight before replying.



I agree 100% with you. mutants powers naturally grow, they never stay the same, but keep growing. when they finally do get a little stronger everybody complains. wtf is that? then they go and think the f4 are the best when they have gotten huge up-grades as well. i mean look at the thing from the beginning, and him now, same with sue. they are a ton more powerful, but everyone loves them. that is very hyporitical.

I like the X-Men or did anyways. They grow I understand that. I understood Colossus couls get stronger. Kitty could get stronger but I don't feel they should have gotten three four times stronger than what they were.

stormfront13
they haven't gotten 3 or 4 times more powerful, they are closer to their full potential.

Wolverine well look at him.
Cyclops is one of Marvels best leaders.
Scarlet Witch
Colossus's strength levels
Yeah these are not all that powerful right.
Emma Frost can now use telepathy in Diamond form.
Then there is Jean Grey as well.
the list goes on and on of mutants that are now Godly in Power or at least triple what they were.

stormfront13
you missunderstood me, their overall power didn't increase, they just are closer to their full potential.

x-fanboys just want to see their favorite little heroes win.....

try this kids:
Fantastic Four versus Pheonix, Professor X, Storm, Shadowcat.
Now X-Men win.

happy now children?

Phoenix_Avatar9
I think that if storm magnified polaris's magentism w/ lightning and emma amped Psy's teke the X-women would win, Lorna and Bets r extremely powerful to begin with anyway

who?-kid
At first, Invisible Girl was only able to turn invisible and now she is a very powerful and dangerous opponent, and Thing was MUCH more weaker than now (now he's almost class 100). That's a big upgrade in my book.

The FF are great, but they can bite the dust like anybody else. And losing from the X-Men is nothing to be ashamed of.

(Something else: did anybody read that recent story about the poker evening of the FF together with Spider-Man, Black Cat, Angel, Doctor Strange and the Kingpin - funny story).

well yeah, obviously their full potential is way abov their first power levels? when you first start out at a sport, and have never ever played, and have no clue what to do and are very confused about it will you be at the best of your ability in a couple of years? your skill will grow and grow over the yeasr. it's the same way with mutants. they are very bad at first, but over a long period of time they get a lot better until they finally reach full potential.

Alpha Centauri
Stormfront, why are you of the assumption that you are in a position to call anyone biased? Genuine question.

-AC

stormfront13
everyone here has called me biased because I have said storm loses like 4 or 5 times, and that the x-men lose like 2 or 3 times. I have never seen him say the f4 will lose. and the fact that he said he was a fanboy

Alpha Centauri
The thing is, you are actually horribly biased. You hardly ever concede a straight up X-Men loss. Ever. You almost always add on some pointless BS starting with "Unless...".

No. Unless nothing. I haven't said the F4 will lose against the X-Men because they won't. I'd say that whether I liked them or not. Just like I'd say Dark Phoenix would beat Deadpool, despite Deadpool being one of my favs.

-AC

stormfront13
usually in an x-men fight there is an unless.....because of all the variables. you are the only person here who tink the x-men don't stand any chance against the x-men.

Alpha Centauri
All the "variables" that only exist to idiotic X-Fans who want them to win because they really, really like them.

-AC

stormfront13
actually variables that exist to anyone with sence. you think that you are always right, and that's why you don't consider variables

why bother, AC is the most stubborn person person here and refuses to look at the facts, so it's easier for him to say the x-men lose

I look at the facts, I look at what's there. I'm not going by who I like, nor am I denying that the X-Men have been upgraded.

I'm saying they would still lose and I've shown why, countless times in other threads.

There's no point me debating with a fanboy.

-AC

stormfront13
no, you have said that the ff win because that's who they are. they're the f4, so they win. you haven't described any way for them to win.

Alpha Centauri
I've never said that in anyway. Ever.

Creshosk tried saying I did, but then he tries saying that everyone says stuff they didn't. Despite proving it. The F4 have a reputation but I'd never give them the win on it. I'm no X-Fan.

-AC

stormfront13
fine, if you never said it then where is your exp,anation as to how they win?

laughing out loud I thought I'd see for myself what this big battle between Emma and Sue was so I had a look at X4. Anyone who think that constitutes any form of proof that Sue is faster than Emma is deluding themself. It did confirm however that the immunity to telepathy that FF backers were implying Sue had earlier on doesn't exist.

Before that she was a member of the Hellfire Club and quite used to getting her hands dirty. She beat Rachel in telepathic combat. Owned her, actually. Made her look like an amateur.

Trust me, Emma is no slouch. She just got caught pontificating. Not a factor in this fight. smile

I dont know who implied Emma getting punked by IW demonstrated immunity to TP for IW. I would suggest the fights between IW and Psi-Lord served as evidence that she can block TP.

Never read the fight. What happened?



It wasn't that long ago. She was a member until the early 90s when she founded the Hellions. And that's only a few years Marvel time, jeez. She didn't forget how to fight, and she certainly wouldn't forget "mindblast!"

Immunity with or without a (plot) device?

Yep she was White Queen around the time the FF went up against Galactus with nothing but their powers and won? Oh wait remind me - that happened when?

I don't think it's "everyone". Just a pretty vocal minority. The X-men are pretty clearly the favorites on all of these threads, if you read through them.

Its a suckerpunch, anyway you slice it.

I could suckerpunch bruce lee, does that mean I'd kick his ass, no not really.

Yes it was but does it change the fact that you posses the power to take bruce lee out in one shot with what you can normally do.

alright

1)where did I say that you thought she had immunity to tp? I didn't, so no need to accuse me of saying I did.

2) emma doesn't have pre-cog. she can't see the future so how would she know an attack was coming? she has trained herself to not read a persons thoughts, how would you know if she was even reading sue's thoughts in the first place to say that emma knew the attack was coming?

Never said you did just saw what you guys were talking about and wanted to make it clear I didn't feel the same way.
Also as a telepath Emma should have been able to see that Sue was planning to attack because Sue would have had to think about it first.

demigawd
It's possible she saw it coming, but Sue had a head start on an offensive, and while Sue is most likely slower to the draw than Emma overall, Sue is fast enough to get the drop on Emma mid-pontification. It was probably like,

Emma: blah blah blah
*mental alert, Sue is about to attack*
Emma: Aw shi...

Like i said Sue is fast. Not as fast as Emma, but if she has a head start, she can take her out. She had a head start.

it's not a telepaths nature to read a persons thoughts 24/7. lorna has suprised jean, storm has suprised jean, storm has suprised xavier. when storm was like 10 she stole xaviers wallet, he didn't notice right away because he wasn't automatically reading everyones thoughts in the area. at lorna's wedding, none of the telepaths saw her attack coming because they weren't reading her thoughts. it's not something they always do.

now if its a match with 3 others on both teams, there can be a distraction for either side, THEN I could get him sneakily.

only sue was fighting, emma was talking. hardly combat. yeah, sue is one of the most powerful people in marvel. she only needs one shot to take down a lot of people. what defense dopes emma have besides going to diamond form which she wasn't in this fight? she wasn't keeping up a defense.

If you're asking, "isn't it possible that Sue could nail Emma with one shot?", then the answer most assuredly is yes. Most of the X-men and FF have one shot KO power over each other, so we're not really debating that. We're debating who could take who out first and how. So in that respect, I agree that Sue definitely has the ability to take out Emma with one shot. The better question is....will she? In some scenarios (like the one in X4), yes. In majority scenarios, I'd say no.

Haha, next would be me again. I grabbed two of those v-shaped paper tickets.

Could she have? Yes. Bearing in mind she came out of nowhere while they were fighting someone else, or confronting someone else, I'd say it's a bit dodgy but yes, she could have.l

The fact that Sue can react faster than Emma one on one says to me that Emma wouldn't have the win against Sue as easy as you claim she could.

-AC

demigawd
"So now that we are past this point, who is most likely to win?"

if anyone hasn't figured that out by now over four different FF vs. X threads, they never will....

But I'll make it concise: FF is vulnerable to psis.
X-men are psi-dominant.

About as clear-cut as Shit-eating Man vs. Mr. Shit.

Alpha Centauri
But is it realistically as clear cut as "Emma will mindwipe them, done"? I don't think so.

There was another thread with "bloodlust" turned on and everyone was ready to accept that if Sue protected them all, Jonny would go nova for the win. So your opinion can't be that conclusive.

About as dodgy as Emma trash talking and Sue knocking her out, yes.



It's only easy in scenarios where Emma isn't taken out in the first second of the fight. As VV Doom pointed out, there are infinite possibilities, it's just that most of them don't look good for the FF, who are, as said throughout three different threads, psi-vulnerable.

Given that it's Emma's only offensive power, I have trouble seeing why it would go any differently. I mean, it just wouldn't be logical for Emma to think, "I'm a telepath. They're vulnerable to telepathy. So I think I'll...run up to Ben and punch him".

With bloodlust turned on, I don't really see a different outcome. In fact, it's even slower, because now the FF are waiting for TWO actions. Sue shielding them, then Johnny supernoving everybody. In that amount of time, Emma would have made Sue shield the X-men and made Johnny supernova the FF.

This fight would be more fair if there weren't a telepath involved, which is why I was trying to steer everybody to the other psi-free thread, but then we got into that whole prep debate instead.

I never understood why people continually assume it takes Sue ages to shield them. It takes seconds, if that. He hasn't gotta stand around and call time out while she does it.
