Heralds v JLA PtII

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



leonidas
the previous heralds v jla thread was hardly what i'd call fair. green arrow? blink

well, the jla has a LOT more to offer than that particular lineup. let's revise, shall we . . .

nova
firelord
morg
terrax
silver surfer

v

Team A

orion
dr. fate
captain marvel (classic)
green lantern (hal)
j'onzz

and one more variation on the jla:

heralds

v

Team B

firestorm (ronnie)
zatanna
triumph
zauriel
superman

do either jla teams win against the 'all mighty' herald team??

Soleran
no

Broly92
nope

leonidas
roll eyes (sarcastic)

team a wins at least 5 of 10. team b it's unlikely you know well enough to fairly say.

Broly92
Team A only because of Dr. Fate and Hal win 4/10

Soleran
actually I think the JLA can take the majority in both if they are given say 5 minutes heads up to at least get ready for the speed.

Otherwise human durability is the downfall.

leonidas
who on the heralds will blitz? ss, but the ring can counter that blitz. terrax, morg, nova and fl have never been shown to blitz. once it gets down to pure fighting, either jla team can win in a number of ways. heralds could still do it. airwalker and nova are the weakest links though. fl is all right but ss and morg are the big threats here. they can be held of long enough for help to arrive though.

UniOmni
Leo, the herald teams are somewhat shitty and you know it.................. Nova? She's like the Aquaman of heralds. Trade her for stardust and we get a battle. Though Terrax with his axe should be able to cleave most of the other teams in two.

And this is my problem with rumbles/fights. Why must it come down to hth?? We all know thats DCs strong point, and not Marvels. Can any battle trump the almighty punch??

laughing

where were you and your complaints when the heralds fought a jla team with green arrow on it?!

and who says it would come to h2h? confused with guys like ss, fate and green lantern it would be as much an energy battle as h2h. though terrax and morg genrally engage h2h as often as anyone on the dc would.

and i just used the heralds that were given in the previous thread when everyone said the heralds would crush the jla. hell, there's a whole thread -- 100s of posts long -- debating whether ss alone could wipe out the jla!

i don't see the teams being all that uneven at all. team a takes majority imo, but heralds could most certainly win. could it be that someone is actually underestimating the heralds 'round here . . .? eek!

Soleran
Heralds written to what they are supposed to represent would DESTROY JLA. They are not only given the power cosmic but the ability to understand how to use it effectively, writters forget that last partsmile

I think without a few minutes prep and heralds at full power and use would destroy the JLA, however that tends to not be the case. JLA should win minus human durablity.

If written to their power set however the heralds once again would destroy the JLA.

batdude123
Team A takes the majority. Soleran, I respect your opinion, but no offense you don't know what Dr. Fate is capable of. He is one powerful SOB. Team B, that's a toughie. If the heralds don't take out Zatanna within the first few seconds, then they are pretty much f*cked. Team A wins the majority, as for the second fight, it could really go either way.

Zatanna - "sdlareh pots"

Heralds are frozen in place. Zauriel chops em in half.

Zatanna, PIS in the making.

leonidas
you keep saying human durability sol . . . where do you see that? fate ahs uber-strange-like shields. j'onzz, WAYYYY above human. cm, WAYYYYYYYY above human. orion, so far above human the light from human durability takes 1000 years to reach him. and gl, auto-shields that can stop pretty well anything.

human durability? blink

and the only one versatile enough to really be used in the way you were speaking is ss. nova and fl use stellar energy -- a far cry from ss's ability to control almost any form of energy. morg is a brawler with cosmic power and terrax is similar -- less cosmic power but with earth control. ss has great versatility. the others aren't nearly as versatile as he is.

edit: yeah, i figured zatanna was capable of stopping them but could someone save her from a blitz . . .?

Yup if it weren't for human durability and speed I would agree, speed blitz, dead team.

Heralds have never been known for speed blitz.

SS hassmile And guess what you only need one.


Also I might add that I said if the heralds were written the way their power was infused with them. Writers make them ass, even I can think of better ways to use their powers. Essentially the heralds can give everyone the mass of a star and have them collapse on themselves.

He did when fighting Thanos, I cannot help herlads get less page time then the JLA. Even in the annihaltion series SS speedblited the ships. With all their powers and their pwer source the JLA are whipped.

You mean when he flies through the ships? Any GL, MM, Superman, WW, etc can do that... that was no speed blitz.

I hope the "speed blitz" you are talking about isn't where SS tried grabbing the Gauntlet off Thanos SLOW MOVING arm and missed anyway. laughing

Soleran
SS is multiples faster then the speed of thought, power cosmic allows him to identify threats with my prior statement. Is Fate that fast, nope thought not.

Pass the hateraidsmile Doesn't matter he has shown it, unfortunetly we can mostly speculate on heralds powers as compared to JLA as less showings.

That doesn't change the fact Heralds could as I said just give all JLA the mass of a star MUCH much faster then thought and thats just the start.

Soleran you never give the JLA ANY credit at all. You automatically hear the name "Silver Surfer" and you think "This guy can beat anybody because he's super duper fast." You are going by a false perception of Silver Surfer that is never portrayed of him. His flight speed and his ATTACK SPEED are two totally different things. In attack speed, he is no better than Thor.

I have no interest in a sip of your hateraid.

It's obvious who the hater is here, and it isn't me..

You haven't provided of shown proof of anything. Over 30 years of continuity and you bring up half baked scenarios from 1 herald. wink

SS has never speed blitzed Thanos.

leonidas
the mass of a star . . .? and gl can whip up a planet-sized bubble that blocks all ambient cosmic rays from entering thus cutting off the source of all their power. big grin that would end things right quick. and gl speed feats are about equal herald feats.

we did? confused anyway, i wasn't the one debating with you over the blitz. i said gl speed feats are equal to heralds. and you're wrong about the thought portion. the ring CAN act of its own accord without conscious direction from a gl. that's how it can protect a gl without the gl even knowing an attack was coming. smile

ss can blitz, i agree. it's not shown often, and combat speed is even rarer -- not sure it's EVER been shown.

SS has shown travel speed. Lobo does the same flying through space on his bike all the time.

Silver Surfer's flight speed and his combat speed are two totally different things. His combat speed is nothing that the JLA line-up couldn't handle.

i think he's saying he wouldn't have TIME to blitz because the herald's (ss's) blitz would already have happened because ss's blitz would have blitzed him before CA (CM?) even had the chance to think about his own blitz.

Don't like it I guess, was that a speed blitz right in YOUR discussion? Not to mention all I wanted to prove is that Heralds "thought" process is MUCH MUCH faster then humans and as such even if they don't move can act faster and their manipulation skills put to use.

How can you even call that JLA line-up "human?" None of them are human in any stretch of the imagination. Silver Surfer never shows combat speed that is three hundred times the speed of light like his travelling speed. He hardly EVER speed blitzes, and when he went all out against Warrior Madness Thor he got his ass kicked. Please stop flaunting a false perception of his character. Team A gets the majority.

Its not my argument, its my fact. Thanos with the glove is a far cry from laughing at a speed blitz seeing as what the gauntlet allows the user to do.

More importantly, Heralds are jobbers. JLA would win simply because writers are ass with their powers. Like I said if everyone of the JLA were given the mass of a sun as fast as heralds can function guess what, they are stopped and possible dead.

So EVERY single showing of the heralds is PIS? blink Come on now Soleran, I though you could do better than that.

Soleran
Did I say every single showing of heralds is PIS, no of course not. Thats you putting words somewhere. What I am saying is that given the powers of Heralds and what they are suppoesd to do the JLA would lose plain and simple.

Its the writers that simplify heralds to tanking not their powersets.

Lets not confuse interpretation for fact, SS speed was mentioned. Captain America didn't have a speed labeled. So once again I ask you did it say CA speed blitzed, no, so lets not confuse the 2 shall we.

By the way flight speed is a blitz, why on earth would you even attempt to confuse it?

batdude123
Once again, I don't think you realize the difference between flight speed and combat speed. THIS is flight speed.

I am bringing up obvious points which you are derailing, you have yet to answer the question directly.

What I am saying about Heralds is that they have less comic paper used then the JLA. So I am not saying the JLA that are written to full potential, just that the Heralds written at full form take the fight.

So... just because other people could pull it off, that makes it not a speedblitze? I don't really get that logic. Supes, WW, and MM can and have pulled off speedblitzes as well as low-level speedsters and streets-levelers like Spider-Man and Quicksilver. How fast a speedblitz actually is depends on the speed of the character pulling it off.

Exactly, but has SS done it in battle?

There are over 30 years of opportunity.

My point was that all of those can fly through ships like that.

If I see someone run or fly into someone else really fast, I consider that a speed blitz. If Surfer were to to that to Superman, it wouldn't necessarily work due to Supes's durability. If he were to do it to Zatanna, however, it would most likely kill her.

So speedblitz! What do you want someone to hold your hand and say that, I am failing to see your point.

So we have seen SS do it several times now, you have even acknowledged it but you refute it becuase its not a superman ss? What is it exactly?

Regardless, if they move that fast its fairly safe to believe they can think that fast and thats where the win comes from with their powersets.

Accel
Surfer has no real feats to indicate his combat speed (dodging, punching, etc), but he has utilized his flight speed to pull off a speedblitz in fights before...

Imo, Hal would be stalemating Surfer for a long time. That fight could really go either way. That leaves DR. FATE, Orion, J'onn, and Pre-Crisis Captain Marvel to beat on the other guys. I say Team A takes the majority, however Team B won't.

Soleran
Team A can take majority, team b loses its pants. So sayeth Batdude132 so it be done.

yep.

I certainly don't disagree which is why most most my discussion came down to speed and speed of thought.

Oh and Batdude123 was probably just saying that for me anyway, he saw me getting abused and just felt bad!

He can analyze and manipulate matter and energy, and restructure or animate matter at will, even transmuting the elements. He can heal living beings (though he cannot raise the dead), and has proven capable of revitalizing or evolving organic life on a planetwide scale. He can alter the size of himself or of other matter, cast illusions, manipulate gravity, absorb and discharge most forms of energy, fire energy blasts, form and manipulate energy constructs, and can phase through solid matter. Now some of those a GL can do, but not all. big grin

Rols
I dont know why you people are arquing about SS not being able to speedblits, everyone can speedblits but it would depend on your opponennts, if they are more stronger or have some sufficient ability to block your blits, then you wouldnt be able to proceed the blits. SS is very fast and posesses over 100 class strength, he could easily speedblits over the X-men but would not be able to do it against say Darkseid or Thanos who posesses capabilities above him.

Regarding this fight majority is won by Jla, Morg and Terrax posesses incredible strength however they mostly rely on their brute strength as shown on all their fight which would be quite a disadvantage fighting this versatile Char. Firelord, Nova and SS have more of a chance ko'ing some of this char. I dont really know much on some of the Jlas Char. to fully give a better opinion.

Regarding the fight with Thor and SS, I say he didnt go all out, because he was there to help a friend, and he wasnt really injured at Thors attack as stated by Warlock event dough he fall unconcious.

Change the lineup and we have a battle. Add Stephen to the heralds, as well as Stardust and BRB. Since the JLA apparently has people who were on the JSA, rather than JLA. Make it fair people.

Soleran
adding more people to the heralds lineup would make it a crushing defeat rather then just a simple victory:P

leonidas
er, all of them have been jla members in the past. and it's HERALDS, uni. uni my man, if you don't like the thread . . . sad

it's been given some decent discussion though. wink

UniOmni
Dr.Fate was a JLA member Post crisis?? If so, my bad.

batdude123
Here's some more stuff a GL can't do:

His (Silver Surfer) senses enable him to detect objects and energies light years away, and to perceive matter and energy in a subatomic detail; he can even see through time, and with concentration can achieve limited perception of past and future events in his general vicinity. The Surfer has demonstrated limited telepathic ability on occasion, and has proven able to influence human emotion and sensation.

If the heralds are written to use even a 3rd of their more exotic powers they'd turn JLA into grapefruit

yep. quite a while ago, but i was just looking for a closer fight. the point of the thread was to try and show that just because they're heralds doesn't mean they win EVERYTIME against just top-tier heroes.

sometimes the top tier guys can play hardball too. big grin

Transmutating elements is done every issue. Their costumes? That's matter manipulation.

Revitalizing matter on a planetary scale? Kyle Rayner and Kilowog in the Rann/Thanagar war.

Alter his size or others? John Stewart in recent JLA Classified. Hal and Kyle numerous times. Kyle once changed his own DNA giving himself natural super powers for a short time.

Cast illusions? Hal Jordan Vs Hector Hammond

Manipulate gravity? Hal usually does this when he schools Dr. Polaris. Polaris once absorbed all magnetic energy in the universe and he still couldn't beat Hal.

Absorbing and firing energy? Constructs? Phasing? Obvious abilities.

Detect objects and energies light years away? Ring does it for him. Read Cosmic Odyssey

Perceive matter and energy in a subatomic detail? Again, ring does it for him. Hal did this during a Pre-IC issue with his nephew.

He can even see through time? Hal has traveled through time.

Demonstrated limited telepathic ability on occasion? Green Lantern: Mosaic #5 or 6? I forget.

Seriously, you're not about to school me in GL knowledge or anything like that.

You're simply grasping at straws. Years of character development, and yet SS hasn't done what you are implying.

Clear off your cosmic fanboy blinders and see what hasn't transpired.

Because you want it to happen, it doesn't mean it's going to happen.

Foolish is the one who brings up arguments without proof, like yourself.

You've degraded this into childish insults already saying enough about your position.

That was to the quote of surfer being as fast a H2H fighter as thor.
Plus the quotes that he never speed blitzes.

Simple as that.
True, but does Z have super-speed of any sort without using a spell first?

If not, Surfer can take her out before she finishes saying even one-syllable spells.

Not that I know of. There isn't any certainty that SS would go after her first though. Any hesitation on any of the heralds part and she can utter the word.

Had this been a bloodlusted battle, I would have put more consideration into it, but seeing as it's not, and SS is a pacifist, I see Zatanna pulling it off.

Accel
True. It really depends if Surfer is willing to take out Zatanna right away. If he isn't, the heralds are in big trouble.

Common knowledge, however, is part of each forum battle, meaning Surfer would know that Zatanna poses the biggest threat if he doesn't take her out right away.

Team B

firestorm (ronnie)
zatanna
triumph
zauriel
superman

He'd still have to decide. Go for the magical human? The fallen Angel with the magical weapon? Give Superman a heads up to attack first? Firestorm time to pull off any kind of attack? Or maybe Triumph time to drain them?

Each one is a threat in their own way. Chances are they would try and go for Superman first since he would be "bragging rights" should anyone actually beat him.

Accel
Well, it's not like the heralds have to attack each opponent one at a time and Surfer was never known for letting his pride get to him. He could take out Zatanna first while his teammates go for the rest.

This is so painful to read, people place the heralds as retards. Cosmic Awareness allows any of the heralds to identify the target before the fight.

Rings also have to recharge, guess what heralds don't. In other words gl's are foockedsmile

so it was herald not heralds. just checking . . . big grin

i still don't buy your 'poor writing' for all the heralds. gl is at least as poorly written. superman almost never uses his pis-vo. cap marvel almost never uses his magic lightning to to combine himself with another superhero to increase his powers. dr strange -- cripes, don't get me started on strange! fate (classic is whom i intended) is connected to a freaking lord of order who is more on galactus' level than the ss's! that dude should NEVER be surprised or defenseless -- against almost anyone.

i really don't know what else you expect from the heralds. ss is the only one of the group i listed to show real versatility. the others were almost elementals -- air walker, terrax, firelord/nova. ss went beyond them all by a long shot. morg is just a beast -- brute force and cosmic destruction. very much like a low level thanos. poor writing can always be called. consistent showings say that to write all of them the way you would like would make THAT showing the pis.

Team A matches up with the herald team nicely.

and your 50/10 split was my first impression. maybe team A 6/10. as in all these kinds of match ups, it depends a lot on who tackles who.

Zattana's spells aren't the be-all and end-all. Sufficient power can overcome them.

Yeah they do. The rings give them heightened awarness and the rings also make moves without the user having to will it.

Surfer is obviously the most powerful/versatile on his team.
Nova's probably second.

Who would you say is the top dog on team A?

That's the purpose of the auto shields.

leonidas
hard to say. in this arena, magic may be a trump card so perhaps fate. orion is ridiculously powerful and with a motherbox far more versatile than most think. that showing in the hunger against ss really WAS silly. i hate byrne. not sure of the herald's immunity to tp. i know ss's is strong. i seem to recall fl and nova both being controlled in the past. if that's the case, j'onzz could seriously f the heralds up.

each of team a is strong in a unique way.

The ring itself allows the wearer to manuever around objects faster than the speed of light without having to will it.
