Fight To the death.
Fully Geared Orion.
Hal's ring just came hot of the battery.
Classic Thor.

Team 2 barely.

Wasnt/isnt Thor susceptible to matter manip? Actually, i believe that Adam is the only one on team 2 that isnt. Supes vulnerability to magic will be a factor here only if Thor and Adam are in the fight long enough. This is a nice fight.

My question is, what does fully geared Orion have?

His Astro harness and Mother Box.

Im having a hard time deciding. Powerwise, Supes is the weak link of his team, but his combat speed would help him last a bit depending on who he were to fight first. Imma go with a 5/5 split for now.

Team 2 6/10

Team 1.

Team one.

Surfer > Thor, Orion, Black Adam
Hal > Orion, Thor, Black Adam
Superman > Black Adam, Thor, Orion

Team 1

6/10 Team 2

Team 2

Thor //> SS (he has better results against SS so far)

Orion //> Superman (SUperman never ever beat Orion but Orion has KOed him with one blast of the astroforce)

BA and GL are difficult but in WW3 BA was stomping a team with Alan Scott on the roster among other powerhouses.
He can at least hold his own until the others help him.

The last time Superman fought Orion, he blocked the Astroforce with his heat vision. When did it knock him out?

When it comes to veratility, Hal>everyone
when it comes to best all around power set, it's cleary Surfer>everyone.
When it comes to hitting the hardest either by energy strike or blast, it's Thor and Orion.
Superman has everyone beat in speed and overall effectiveness of his punches.
Black Adam has the best durabiliity of anyone here.
I'm going with team two for the slim majority.

Silver surfer cannot beat Thor. Not for the majority. At best he can split.
Silver Surfer Cannot beat Orion. Where Orion is not a versatile as surfer, Orion is a better fighter and has more power at his command.
Silver surfer can beat Black adam. but only after sustaining many injuries himself as BA has all of superman's strength's and none of his weaknesses.

hal Jordan can beat orion and BA. but barely. He can't beat Thor.
Superman can beat Thor due to his speed. But he can't beat orion or BA who are strong and fast enough to match him.

Orion can one shot surfer or superman. I dont' know how hals' shields would do, but i'm guessing, hal won't get one shotted.
Thor can beat Surfer or hal IMO. Not easily, but he can win. BA is just a problem for anyone on team one. he's superman esque, with better fighting, better durability, and a kill instinct.
Keep in mind these are just my opinions and there should be no need to get your boxers in a bunch if you disagree.

Orion has already one shotted superman. And in just hand to hand, he's stalemated superman.

What makes you think he can oneshot the Surfer? Thanos needs multiple blows to ko him,but you think Orion can. Based on?

Thanos isn't in this thread. And Orion was stalemating Superman recently using brute strength and speed and skill. Surely I'm talking about the AF one shotting Superman or Surfer. what are you talking about?

Did you read about Orion's battle with Superman in dong?

So,since you say the astro force can oneshot the Surfer I am just supposed to believe you. Based on?

You don't believe anyone based upon anything if it's a dc charcter vs a marvel one or against Thanos or anything or anyone thanos based or related. This conversation ends.

couldnt have said it any better

In DOTNG, Superman matched the AF with his heat vision. And currently, Superman has taken Darkseid's Omega Beams, so I am pretty sure he coudl take the Astro Force. He may not me smiling afterwards, but he's not gonna just lay down for it, either.

Not to defend Quan, but that scan is history. Quite literally. That was like the first meeting between Superman and Orion - Superman's become steadily much more powerful since then.

Thor beats Surfer, just as he always has.

Orion beats Hal, because even the greatest GL of all isn't as battle-capable as Orion.

Black Adam beats Superman because he has equal strength, speed, invulnerability and senses plus has a slight magic advantage and is more brutal.

Every battle is tough, but Team 2 wins it.

It is the only technical victory.

But when Surfer goes up against Thor in v1 of Surfer's title, he's being amped by Loki and he is beating Thor. However, he makes it very clear that Thor, and Thor's hammer, is more powerful than he normally is (which is why he is confused that he is winning the battle...he can sense that Thor is more powerful than his Cosmic Power).

So I consider that, if not a win, a clear indication that Thor WOULD have won that fight on fair terms.

And It matters not as Orion has also gotten more powerful. Or didn't you notice that orion has matched superman blow for blow.

Wasnt that like their first meeting? Surfer of that era could get his enrgy absorbed on the fly by iron man and was nowhere near as powerful as recent pre- annihalation surfer let alone current upgraded surfer. Really i dont think that fight shud be used when comparing the two characters anymore considering the amount of changes and improvements that have occurred over the years. Thor does not have the enrgy /matter manip feats that SS has. Also while he has displayed alot of exotic powers he uses them nowhere near as efficiently or frequently as SS. SS also has the glaring speed advantage and IMO a durability advantage as well. Thors major advantage is his superior strength and fighting skill but aside that SS has him beat in almost evry other category.


Back on topic, regarding this fight team 1 wins. SS is the most powerful character in the field and superman has the best battle speed and is physically the strongest.

Exactly, anyhow this is how I see the fight.

Thor>SS

Orion=Superman

BA>Jordan

Due to supes and orion stalemating, I give team 2 6/10

Yes.




The fact that it is old doesn't discount it -- it's in continuity. Yes, same as those Iron Man showings.

Current upgraded Surfer got put into an Arm-bar by Black Panther and held there, and got his energy totally absorbed on the fly by Black Panther as well -- without any of the negative side effects we saw when Iron Man did it back in those good ole days.




I don't agree. It's continuity, it still counts.




He has quite a few, actually, including driving Galactus -- Silver Surfer's creator -- away with a Godblast.

Does he have as many versatility feats as the Surfer? No. Because the Surfer uses versatility more often, that tends to be his 'thing'.

But in terms of BATTLE feats, Thor is much more a warrior than is the Surfer, much better equipped for this type of thing.




I don't agree with the durability advantage. Thor's resistance to blunt trauma and energy is prodigous. Only to piercing/sharp objects does he tend to be weak (and the same can be said for Thanos, who has totally destroyed Surfer on a number of occasions).




As the Surfer himself admits, Thor's raw power is also greater than the Surfer's.

The fact that Surfer often times doesn't use his versatility in battle also comes into play here.

Ok seriously how can u use a thor and surfer fight that happened when surfer was nowhere close to the level he is currently at? Im not discounting the fact that it is continuity but frankly it cant be used considering because the surfer has gotten way more powerful since those days. Whether it is in continuity or not is of absolutely no consequence because SS was nowhere near as powerful then as he is now. In essence using SS and thors first encounter to determine who wud win in a fight between the current incarnations of the characters is equivalent to disregarding all the upgrades and improvements SS has had over the years which have made much much much more powerful than he was during his first encounter with thor.

Nextly that whole blackpanther incident was complete PIS and should NEVER be referenced in any debate. This shud be common knowledge by now. Also BP used Dr dooms tech to absorb SS enrgy. Dr doom has managed to do the same to galactus and even the beyonder so that is hardly a bad feat. It is in no way comparable to SS getting his enrgy absorbed by iron mans armour( And iron man was much weaker in those days).


Also i maintain my stance that thor does NOT have the matter and enrgy manipulation feats that SS has. Im a big thor fan and ive seen most of his best feats. Driving off a severely weakened Galactus with a Godblast is great and so is cracking exitars armour. Howver he has nowhere near the quantity of feats that SS has when it comes to skillful application of enrgy and matter manipulation powers. SS has shown that he has matter manipulation powers on the planetary scale multiple times. Evolving an entire planet billions of years into the future,Deactivating all the machines on earth and causing perpetual darkness across the planet and healing an entire planet of a dangerous disease affecting them on a molecular level are gud examples of this. Also SS molecular bonding legacy with the nega bands to his board also shows his high molecular manipulation abilities. SS also has feats to show he is a superior enrgy manipulator like while severely weakened Channeling the enrgies of the crunch in order to defeat Tenebrous and Aegis. A feat which galactus admitted wud be difficult for evn him. Also SS showed that he can even manipulate the Odin force when he recreated beta ray bills hammer. A feat which thor himself wud have bin unable to do.

Thor is a warrior and in a physical battle he wud take SS for sure. This is why i have a problem with most encounters between SS and thor because SS seems to always attack thor physically and then get bashed by thors hammer instead of using his other powers. Heck in blood and thunder he evn got into a test of strength with thor. Howver if SS uses his speed and versatiliy advantage he wud easily nullify thors strength and fighting skill advantages.


Durability wise i know thor is right up there but SS still takes it when it comes to feats. Taking numerous aimed to kill blasts and hits from tenebrous and Aegis who are peers with Galactus without being koed trumps all the thors durability feats. Thanos destroying SS on numerous occassions is highly irrelevant as thanos has shown he can hold his own with thors father Odin. In other words he is on a whole nother level than either SS or thor.

In their first meeting, surfer might have admitted that thors raw power was greater than his, but this statement cannot be applied here for numerous reasons. Firstly it came from a surfer who had his powers restricted due to his banishement to earth by galactus. Also the statement came b4 surfers numerous upgrades and was from an era where SS was far less powerful. Lastly SS feats since then prove this statement to be false and inapplicable concerning his current incarnation.

Surfer also does use his versatility( Enrgy absorption, matter manip,) in battle. He does not use it as frequently as he shud but this is because SS is a pacifist and detests any form of violence and so willingly holds back during most of his fights. On KMc howver, he will fight to the best of his abilities.

So I consider that, if not a win, a clear indication that Thor WOULD have won that fight on fair terms. I just think in blood and thunder arc that Thor had a plot device in his corner. Kinda like a Superman going all out. The writers can make him more formidable. I think if the Surfer went all out and was as vicious as Thor in blood and thunder that he would beat Thor. But,I do agree that Thor matches up very well against the Surfer. Its close.

Superman> black adam............Only if superman loweres himself to BA's level. and is willing to kill. Superman has never one shoted or beat BA ever. If supes fights dirty then yes hes > then black adam.


I think this fight could go either way.

I dont understand how Superman fighting dirty allows him to beat Adam. Someone help me with that one. Does he gain a new powerset or something? I think Adam may possibly the toughest one to take out on team 2 with Orion as a close second.

Adam never pulls his punches and theres the whole magic thing.

Id love to see Orion and Adam go at it in a current comic.
