Both teams get 1 month of prep and all the resources at their disposal. They will fight at the end of the month. Which team would win this prep war?


DC:
Darkseid (Leader)
Brainiac (Chief Scientist)
Batman (Chief Tactician and Strategist)
Lex Luthor (Weapons Expert)
Cyborg Superman (Technology Expert/Master Builder)
John Stewart (Energy Manipulator)

vs

Marvel:
Thanos (Leader)
Reed Richards (Chief Scientist)
Dr. Doom (Chief Tactician and Strategist)
Apocalypse (Weapons Expert)
Tony Stark (Technology Expert)
Silver Surfer (Matter and Energy Manipulator)
Forge (Master Builder)

Darkseid is unfair. New God technology tips the scales too much.

apocalypse, tony and forge ?

team dc for the win

Team Marvel.

You put Thanos, the dude who outpreps Marvel Universe with Forge, the guy who have the power to create anything?

Spite! Marvel win.

And I haven't even start speaking of Doom and Richards.

Doesn't Apocalypse have some sort of access to Celestial tech ?... if so Marvel wins

Dc. They out class marvel

change surfer for kang

Darkseid brings with him all the resources of Apokolips and NEW GOD technology. Which blows all the other tech out of the water. And New God tech has destroyed UNIVERSES. Not to mention boom tubes and motherboxes, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

And in case you forgot, Darkseid can retrieve items from time or send them backwards with his Omega Effect, under his own power.

Darkseid even on his own power tips the scales too much, giving him all his resources is outright spite against Marvel.

Kang should've been in. Still, its true that DS's base tech is plain better than the others, it would be only be fair to put Galactus's tech or Arishem's at the very least to match them -or beat them, your pick-.

Kang has destroyed universes though...

Kang is better, but you're right that Galactus would be needed.

And btw, it was a mere Motherbox that destroyed a universe. Yeah, you heard me.

It's like giving me a nuclear bomb to fight off a mugger...its way to powerful and it would kill me as well.

Also, tech edge isn't the sole determinant of this war, tactics and strategy are key components as well.

team marvel already have 2 infinity gems from the get go, reed can just gather the rest from his illuminati chums. they're also capable of creating cosmic containment units.

facepalm Darkseid masterminded Countdown, DOTNG (at least somewhat retconned, but we know he defeated New Genesis) and Final Crisis. Not to mention being a key linchpin of the assault on Anti-Monitor during COIE.

I merely pointed out that one should not frame the outcome of this battle solely based on technological edge.

That, and Brainiac's advanced tech was also my initial impression. But I gotta give Dr. Doom, Apoc, and Surfer the edge over their counterparts Batman, Lex, and John. Plus Forge is going to have Apoc tech...

And Psycho-Gundam brings up an excellent point: Team Marvel has the Reality and Power Gems.

All that taken into account, and Team Marvel stomps.

Marvel is missing Sage who will outprep like over 80% of them.

Reality + Power Gem is one of the best gem combo's you can get w/o the entire gauntlet.

Also, Forge can create, anything.

And he has a month with one of the most intelligent entities in the MU, along with Doom and Reed. And if Apoc knows specs for some of his celestial tech, Forge could build some insane weapons and tech.

Batkick.
FTW.

Man, you know Reed is going to build a device to transfer the kinetic energy outputted by the Batkick, magnify it, and send it back at the DC Team for the one-shot team kill.

Exactly. Anyway, the Batkick can't be harnessed or controlled, even by Doom. The Batkick is Doom.
On a related note, someone besides me, should start a Batkick respect thread.

That's a lie. Doom can steal anything.

You know that's how Mary lost her virginity, right?

if i were to add another character to team marvel i would pick maelstrom.

he's a universal threat almost on the scale of thanos, if not an par with him. though not as cunning and intelligent overall as the titan (but then again, who is) his plans have almost as much hatred for life as thanos' which usually means massive casualties.

Yeah, Maelstrom's intelligence and prep is up there.

You should put Lucifer on Dc if the gems are used

Thanos know Celestial tech AND have already mess with Galactus technologies.

Same for Richards and Doom.

Both Thanos and Doom have built time machine in the past, and Richards have upgraded Doom's.

Thanos already captured Galatus and turn him into a bomb.

And they have Forge to built... well, whatever what they want.

Marvel ftw!

Dude, Apocalypse is useless.

You have THANOS, RICHARDS and DOOM.

Apocalypse is nothing, lol

blasphermer

apocalypse is never "useless", it's just that the writers had difficulties creating stories for him.

now that he's the "mutant messiah" figure now, maybe we'll get more cool shit again. and the whole celestial pact deal is unfinished, maybe he'll get an upgrade or something *shrugs*

Darkseid has the ale if means anything.

he owes them something, maybe he will be their emissary or something.

It really doesn't. Reality and Power Gems get given to Thanos, and Thanos goes, "No ALE for Darkseid during this battle." And it happens. Laws of physics be damned.

hmmm reed has two of the greatest weapons in MU at his disposal, the UN and his son

That is an insult. The ALE far exceeds the gems. Not to mention, only one side of this fight has protection from temporal assaults. And New God tech can easily travel through time.

No.

Yay! ...So can multiple people on the Marvel side.

Except New God tech is just plain better at time travel. And yes, team DC is protected, because Darkseid has temporal awareness. Not to mention he can use the Omega Effect to attack at a point in the future.

How is it better a time travel?

Boom tube, mobius chair, history of involvement in human affairs since the earliest age of humanity.

I wasn't arguing that they weren't protected. I said they weren't the only ones who were.

So have the Celestials...which use Celestial tech, which at least three members of this team have access to.

They have Surfer that can navigate for fun in time and space. So what.

Thanos used GALACTUS to make a bomb.

Thanos is so good at tech that he used GALACTUS, the most powerful mortal being in the MU and turn him into a universe destroying bomb.

Doom used Galactus tech as well.

Originally posted by Mindset

Heh, that's a good point. Galactus' has had longer to develop his tech than the New Gods have had. And he's a scientist. Figures that his tech would be more advanced.

Debatable. Humanity has gone through several ages, and New Gods were the first of the great races. Sorry, Old Gods. But the New Gods have the same technology.

TP...

That's a pretty weak lineup for DC. That's not even dc's best to offer. Plus you have Reed, Thanos, Stark all on the same lineup. Stomp on Marvel's side. Well not really a stomp, but they win a solid majority, despite a New God on the DC team. Replace some people here and there and it would be a better fight.

Dunno about that. Old Gods had things like Gog, and Madeggon. And then there's Wonderworld. And the P. Giants.

Change Marvels team leader from Thanos to The Watcher and it's a curbstomp

Marvel Team grabs the Infinity gems from Reed's Illuminati chums, Thanos grabs the HotU and Doom grabs pre-retcon Beyonder's power.

Marvel Team curbstomps.

The Old Gods were trying to prison Mageddon not use it. Wonderworld are separate beingd and P. Giants have nothing to do with them from what I know.

Originally posted by Tattoos N Scars

Cosmic armor gets one shotted by the combined power of the HotU, IG and the Beyonder power.

The released power then vaporizes the entire multiverse.

Result: Stalemate.
