Who has the most versatile abilities. My personal opinion Silver Surfer is one of most versatile. No Abstracts Elder Gods Skyfathers Imps Elder Demons.

Symmetric Chaos
ReedRichards

Newjak

Disappear
super-skrull's done a whole hell of a lot by himself that the fantastic four can't do together. his annihilation series was a prime example.

Galan007

Ion.

I consider Dr Strange a one trick pony aka Magic and Reed is smart but if you took his smarts away Fantastic Four would have never been

golem370
Ion is abstract right?

Superherovandal
no i'm talking more along post IC ion.

golem370
Not to familiar with Ion is he below Skyfather?

His he more powerful then Thanos because he was just below Skyfather level.

If Strange is a one-trick pony because of magic then Surfer is one-trick because of Power Cosmic....it's really a double standard. Strange has met or exceeded most of the feats you showed in the first post.

What did you think I was referring to?

This is a guy who built (or programmed more likely) a machine that translated scents into video images in a matter of moments. You really can't get around Reed's versatility thanks to his intellect.

Superherovandal
yeah seriously half of the versatile people would be one trick ponies then. take away a GL ring and whats a GL take away powercosmic and whats a herald? take away magic and whats a magician.

That settles it nobody has versatility, since if you take away all their powers they're not versatile anymore.

Adam Warlock.

It's Thanos.

He has PC , Insane Intelligence, mysticism, and is a Eternal .

They're both one trick ponies.

I get what golem is saying. Surfer's power is the power cosmic which he can use to do a whole variety of stuff which makes him versatile of course, but he still only has one power.

For example, look at Hulk. Would you say he has the powers of:

Super weightlifting
Super kicking
Super punching
Super jumping
Thunderclaps

or would you just say he has super strength and be done with it?

Scoobless
Impossible Man

I think digi is saying they are both versitile,but it was golem who says surfer is versitile and strange is not, when strange like surfer has one power source and strange can do a variety of things like the surfer can

I think Martian Manhunter is very versitile

that's true, and he is UNDER skyfather as well.

Endless Mike
Pre - Crisis Superman.

He would basically just make up a new power whenever he needed one.

thumb up

Tyrant
Galactus.

Well I mean does Silver Surfer's power cosmic give him his other abilities like matter and energy manipulation and telepathic powers?

I believe so..99.999% sure he was a normal humanoid with no powers before galactus made him a herald

I would say Doctor strange is more versitile....magic can duplicate almost any power....
but i can understand that in the case of surfer loosing Cosmic power and stange loosing magic...basicly makes them normal humans

Now Martian Manhunter has a insane power set,and for a character that is in his teir he is insanly versitile

SpunkySmurph
Black Bolt is up there as well.

Moreso then Martian Manhunter.

So true, especially the very old comics.
Super-weaving....super-dancing...just terrible.
