A battle to the death who wins?
LORDSIDIOUS01
Which SS is this? Which Firestorm is this?
Starhawk
Firestorm, he has survived worse then the power cosmic. If it's Elemental Firestorm, he swats SS like a gnat.

I like FS in this fight. He seems to put his powers to better use in combat.

Firestorm for the win.

it's very cool to have a firestorm fan here.
Now then, I think the Surfer grabs the majority.....
Starhawk
Not of course. Firestorm has suffered through worse then the power cosmic. And do not quote SS beating agies and tenebrous because that was PIS on PMS.
And as I said if we're talking Elemental Firestorm, then he squashes SS like a bug.

Do you read Firestorm at all? Since it got cancelled for lack of readership I assume no?

I'm referring to the fact that Ronnie Raymond and the professor, and the professor is the elemental firestorm, while ronnie was the earth based one. No, I haven't gotten the chance to read Jason Rusch's series, why? Because I live 3 towns away from a comic shop

LOL @ Firestorm being overrated here. I guess everyone has their time to shine on KMC. At least it happened to a good character for once.
TricksterPriest
I happen to like Firestorm alot. The concept of a smart hero who uses physics has always impressed me. And yes, the proffessor is back. Though Darkseid just grabbed him from the matrix and dragged him to Apokolops.
Anyways, Firestorm loses. Against a lesser opponent, he'd do great. Unfortunately, the PC is a little too much for him. Not to mention Surfer is probably the best of Galactus's regular heralds when it comes to innovative uses of it.

Don't worry not allot of people read it.
Still I admit SS might give normal Firestorm a battle, but Elemental Firestom would use SS for a toothpick.

I fricken love Ronnie Raymond, i love the character's power set and they fuction. i don't love jason yet, Haven't read anything with him yet
Starhawk
His powers are different, he can fuse with anyone to create Firestorm but who he fuses with has an effect on his powerlevel. I still prefer Ronnie as well with The Prof as Elemental Firestorm.

if I recall correctly what made the professor an elemental in the first place is the fact that he knew how to manipulate everything to a much more superior degree. But when's the last time we saw the elemental firestorm character anyway?

Problem with Firestorm is he's always been a B-/C+ character in DC's eyes, and he suffered for it. Like we didn't even know Ronnie died til Infinite Crisis, and it was soooo weak. shrug I don't think they'll make the same mistakes with Jason though...hopefully

Basically the Firestorm matrix works like the Phoenix Force. It's the force of creation in the DCU, there have been many hosts and the matrix exits in the multiverse. Martin Stein was able to become Elemental Firestorm because much like Jean Grey is the perfect host for the Phoenix Force, Stein is the most compatible host for the Matrix.
Stein is the only person who can access the Firestorm Matrix while outside the Matrix itself.
During Infinite Crisis he turned back into his human form to become Jason's tutor so he could properly use the power of Firestorm.
I will do a respect thread soon.

No, just no...

Power Cosmic on average >> Firestorms Nuclear Powers.

Defeating the Air and Water Elementals

But in the end, he couldn't even resist the force of a Black Hole.
Regular Firestorm on the other hand has shown the ability to manipulate Darkseid's own Omega Force.

Kind of like Superman Prime is supposed to be the most powerful Superman.
But on panel feats would suggest otherwise lol.
Personally,
I have seen greater feats from normal Firestorm, then I have from Elemental Firestorm.

He's flatout on a level above Firestorm, simply more powerful. Firestom i would place around the level of Air-Walker or Nova.

When someone's flatout more powerful than someone else, usually how does the more powerful person win? By straight-up beating the hell out of the weaker guy.

Okay, thats pretty much his best win ever. Or one of them. Surfer's beat Aegis and Tenebrous, and Uni-Lord, and Ravenous, and Firelord, and Quasar, and Terrax, and Morg, and a shitload of others. Firestorm is outmatched here. And Orion is overrated.

Quasar let him win-IMO quasar beats surfer for the majority
Tenebreus and aegis -cmon that was not a true win
i think surfer for the majority-but it will be a hard fight IMO

In the latest issue of Firestorm, Kalibak's power had been greatly amped, and he beat Orion pretty damn easy.
Then Firestorm beat Kalibak without too much effort.

Id agree that Darkseid is VASTLY overrated on these forums, but SS will not take one win against him (much like every time he faces thanos) SS takes the majority over firestorm though IMO
carver9
well darkseid seemed affraid of the surfer when he came to apokalips for his master, so he decided to sick his creations on silver surfer instead of fighting him on his own. Then when he had the chance he snuck surfer from behind with the oe.
I also think that darkseid is overrated on these forums. Recent darkseid get pound on a regular basis by superman. Classic darkseid was no joke but recent darkseid aint nothing but a punching bag. Classic and recent darkseid are 2 different people but that is the darkseid that you would have to use is the updated one and silver surfer will whip his a**.

I'll go a step further and say Firestorm is being overrated in this thread. Orion's overrated. Surfer and Darkseid are overrated! Heck, you and I are overrated!
...But I agree. The Power Cosmic does seem to be able to do anything Firestorm can do, but on a higher level. Surfer himself seems to have better speed, strength, perception, and durability on average. That alone is a huge advantage.

Can Surfer resist being merged with Firestorm? How has Surfer done against beings who can go intangible?
Estacado
Surfer can become intagnible as well.

Can Firestorm resist being merged with Surfer's board?
Estacado
Couldn't Surfer imprison him into his board somehow?

The other way, of being merged into the Matrix, is more likely than that however, considering Surfer did it once since his creation, and Firestorm does his every issue.

so in ur eyes my numbers were one off. u act like i was 3 off or something totally different. im confused to by ur post. u say surfer would win 60 percent of the time but u dont know how. what do u guess? if u guesses why wouldnt u put it 50/50. u are confusing.

I personally am not convinced that he would take this, .
But IF SS did take this, it would certainly be by a very narrow margin.

well ye si understand but using the word if i would keep it like 51 percent meaning that u havent come to a solid conclusion so u gave him the slightest of majorities. but i guess ur happy with 60 majority. ok

Cosmic awareness-IMO it decides the battle when its this close,but i wont argue someone saying firestorm-but barely(or tuff battle)
Firestorm is no joke especialy on the boards, where they fight to their best ability

Isn't the same thing true of the folks arguing for Firestorm? What can he do to stop the Surfer who is using his abilities to their fullest extent, including his speed, cosmic perception, strength, and Power Cosmic?
Out of curiousity, how many people has Firestorm merged with that have had the capability to resist him?
Galan007
Originally posted by Acrosurge

FS could redirect or simply avoid any blast SS throws at him, through both intangibility and atomic manipulation.
FS can create monster like constructs to aide in this battle, and well as boom tube-esk portals...
It's very close imo.
Roldz
This 2 is complete similar, from the use of there power to actual comic feats cept for FS constant manipulation of matter..
The only weakness i see of Firestorm that SS could manipulate is the bond between host and matrix, somethin SS has done so before assimilated his own to that of another and acquired all of its powers, then again its a double edge sword..

The current Firestorm seems to be superior to the previous. And the previous was no joke at all. The current fire storm pwned kalibak who had just gotten a serious power increase who was able to punk Orion. NOw some may say that Orion actually had a decrease. But this isn't the case. Orion was able to humiliate Stompa. And Stompa has always been a near match for Barda. Orion would give Surfer a hard time. So It is easy to assume that since Kalibak pwned Orion, and then Firestorm turned around and put the smack down on Kalibak, this fight could go either way. I give the surfer 6/10 based upon surfers experience, and skill. Tho Fire storm seems to be able to do green lantern type things as well as his matter manipulation.

Just before Orion got pwned by Kalibak, FS was already giving him a bit of a beating...
