Not in terms of an actual fight. I want to see which character in your opinion is more merciless and why you think so?

BA's more merciless. But without his MB to calm him down, Orion is certainly more vicious. I remember his anger overloading the MB after he was made a slave on Rann. Not a pretty sight at all.

I tend to give this to Black Adam. That public execution and eradicating that country sold me. Guy is just a stone cold killer.

Orion.

BA would never be able to kill Thousands of Thangarian Warriors in a few minutes.

Orion could blast the entire planet out of orbit or destroy it. Something BA can't do. Sorry.

Orion was raised on New genesis, so that gives him more of a center.
BA is just badass. I still love his solution to Psycho-pirates attempted manipulation from IC. So three stooges.

Destroying earth is nowhere near as easy as you just made it sound.

Orion>>BA in every way except Strength. I'd give them equal footing.

Do you he would never be able to because they would beat his ass or something? If so then that really doesn't mean anything here. I'm so sure that killing a bunch of new born babies just because they were born in Country X is way more merciless than killing Thangarians.

Without the MB, Orion would kill anything that stood in his way to victory. Orion killed thousands of peaceful aliens retreating to their worlds. After they'd already been broken and battered by DS who took their Gods from them. So um. Yeah. Orion for the win.

Adam could just kill every single person on said planet which is way more merciless than destroying the planet.

Orion doesn't hit harder than him. Do you also think he is more durable?

He may have done that but I was just saying that your previous claim didn't mean much in this topic seeing as this is not a test of ability.

Oh, BA all the way.

BA is awesome. I'm not a DC fan because it seems like you have to be the Flash, Batman, WW, Superman or a GL just to get some spotlight, but Black Adam is one of the only DC characters that I like. He has my utmost respect.

ba is faster then orion and can fly. I think orion is more durable and stronger then BA buy a small margin, provided we are not talking bout WW 3 BA.


regaurdless this would be a awsome fight.

I have been reading a lot of dc lately and its quite good. Give it a try.

hmm i have to disagree. I think orion is stronger then BA here. ba is much faster though and hes meaner then snake shit. this just amps is strength levels during a fight.
Well in terms of Overall Physical Ability

Superman=Orion=BA.

So I have to give Orion and BA close footing on the strength thing.

I think Orion is more viscious than Black Adam.

After all, he is the "Dog of War" on New Genesis.

I'll try, preferabally starting out with some BA or Captain Marvel.

Adam.

I'd say Orion overall is more vicious/ruthless. Teth Adam is an anti-hero but he only really goes off when there's very good reason to. Orion on the other hand is much easier to provoke to violence especially without his MB.

Well said. BA can be portrayed as level headed and still seem in character. Orion just always seems like he's ready to explode.

I say Black Adam is more durable.

Tough call on the merciless part. Not the meanest thing BA did but I remmeber when a person was trying to blow themselves up infront of BA. BA just swoops in ripps his arm off and says something like "You have three more chances to tell me...." I thought that was like Whoa! Rip off one arm with not even a question.
Then again Orion is all crazy angry all the time and will kill people even when they surrender (does BA do that?)

Hmm...I disagree. Even WWIII BA (who was amped) looked like shit by the end of the arc. I can't see Orion looking that poorly after taking on J'onn and Alan Scott, etc.

Does Orion rip off face for fun?

yh, i remember that aswell , i would have imagined MM heat vsion would not be able melt his face as CM has withstood Superman HeatVision and there were arrow piercing him n stuff

also i was really disapoinetd when i saw MM look at power gril and flash and say many of us are stronger than him and faster but none is as ruthless , every punch is meant to kill

i thought BA was uber powerful like only rivaled by superman ???

Orion.

He killed every man,woman,and child directly and felt no remorse.

It was world war 3. It every everyone vs. Black Adam.

Black Adam

based on ww3 should we assume MM heat vision>BA/CM durability as it was able melt his face , isnt ataht a bit cinrtadictory as CM has withstood Superman HeatVision in past , ww3 was wrong when there were arrow piercing BA and peopel making him bleed heavily

also was MM correct to say 'many of us are stronger than him and faster but none is as ruthless , every punch is meant to kill' looking at power girl and jay-flash and

i thought BA was uber powerful like only rivaled by superman ???

I didn't take that line literally. I think it was there to imply how vicious he was.


BA doesn't have Superman's weaknesses and also doesn't hold back.

i feel like it shoudl be in his powerset /durability range to not be phased by such assault , superman woulb'nt of lost any teeth

maybe writers just did that as a one off as a plot device

maybe writers just did that as a one off as a plot device I think the wanted to show how nasty this whole affair became. It was friggin' ww 3. BA annihilated a whole country and even his friends couldn't even accept his actions and some like the atom smasher couldn't believe it.
