What can make you change your views on a battle in which you have a definite winner ?

What is the lowest feat that the character you'd think would lose in a given match would have to perform (other than a direct confrontation ) in order for you to think he'd win in a fight ?

Say you're of opinion that Thor beats Surfer. Or Captain America beats Batman. Or.. you get the point. Specify the fight and what the other character would have to do in order to change your views.

c'mon, phil. you've been around more than long enough to know that opinions rarely change. if someone goes into a thread with a decided winner already in their mind, the chance of that predetermined choice changing... is slim to none.

I can attest to the fact that its nearly impossible to change your mind if you get into a debate.
The best I can hope to do is stop debating if its a hopeless argument.

More info on what the character can do.

I know when i first joined this board in 04, i thought Superman would likely be top dog since i only read his comics and didn't own a single marvel book.

After reading more and buying old books, i learned how mistaken i was.

Likely why i give Surfer the edge in most top tier fights against bricks, great or small.

HV is nice, but blackholes are better.

Yes, that's true. But hypotetically, say you think Firestorm would beat Skulk Waver (random name). If a comic would show him resisting transmutation from a high-end user, or wading through certain type of attacks, would you change your mind? And what would those attacks be?

You think Captain America would beat say.. Batman. What is the lowest feat(s) the latter would have to do in order to convince you otherwise ? I say lowest because it will be too simple to have you say a ridiculous thing "have him overpower The General" or something similar. That's essentially the question.

And I mean current views. Not some blabbering on how "oh, I was so uninformed years ago until I discovered how much that character sucks and the other one rules!!" like the baiting post above.

I disagree with the majority here. If you have a character with a intensely dense fanbase, then yes they are going to argue to the death, and no amount of scans, logic, or common sense is going to change their mind. As we speak Im debating Lobo vs Wolverine....
However, if you take characters who's fans dont have such a vested interest, you'll see opinions change from time to time. You wont see many Super Skrull posts going over 100 pages long.

It was just an example but, why not just start right here. Could you give an example of what character Firestorm would beat in a battle in your opinion and what that character would have to do in order to change your views ? Or not Firestorm, but any other match.

^ for instance: for me to believe surfer could defend himself against zoom, i would first need to see him reacting to an opponent on zoom's speed level.

Actually...I did have a sloowww change of heart regarding two characters based on the visual evidence (no, not them). The on-panel evidence was just too, well, consistently evident that what I always used to think...was wrong.

And as far as two other characters go (now them), I've been in a reconsideration state of mind, oddly enough because of something I myself wrote in yet another debate featuring one of those characters whom I was defending.

I'm not asking you to come up with insane scenarios/feats for what are obvious loopsided battle in order for the underdog to take it.

I'm asking you to tell me what would a specific character have to do within a comicbook (a specific feat, or a fight against another character) in order to swoop your opinion on his performance in a battle that you currently consider him to lose. You can do it for 50/50 fights aswell, if you like.

Batman-Prime
Thor speedblitzing Gladiator. Means fighting superfast against glads, similar to flash fights if you get what i mean. Glads can do it, when Thor would fight him while using superspeed, all over some planet, i would change my opinion to Thor 60%-40% Superman.

I don't think that Daredevil can beat Batman, but i don't know the char good enugh. I used to collect them after Miller took over and Romita draw them but he wasn't that impressive. I wouldn't give him more then 2 out of 10. When i would see him beating CA, i would change my stance to 4 or if he has more wins then CA, 5 out of 10. wink

Starscream M
for me, it would be superman vs thor.

my current stance is that superman's speed is vastly superior to thor and as such superman would handily beat thor if both performed to par

what would convince me otherwise is if someone shows clear evidence of thor being able to attack at blitz level super speed as well as defend against a almost flash-level speed blitz

i won't hold my breath for either

Worse still. People use very old feats, while the current incarnation hasn't show them and appears more "realistic" and less powerful, while ignoring recent high end feats of the opposed char and coming up with low feats from ages past.

What's the problem with using feats from 30 years ago?

Unless it's been retconed, the character has lost the ability to do said feat, or gotten noticeably weaker since that time, then the feat is valid, and you would have absolutely no basis or grounds to dismiss said feat.

Take Thor for example. You won't see me using his ability to manipulate time which was clearly lost in a debate. But if I need to, you best believe I will use the example of him shooting lightning out of his hands as say an example of using his god of thunder powers or an example of versatility which happened in 1960.

Another example is Odin. Clearly he isn't on Galaxy busting level currently so you won't ever see me using examples of Odin wiping out Galaxies casually currently. I will however use it as an example if I make sure to note that I am referring to Odin at his older more powerful levels or say at the height of his power.

In my opinion, I don't care if a character has feats from the 50's 60's 70's, but WHEN ALL HIS Feats for debating comes from 20+ years ago, there is something wrong.

I don't if it wasn't stated that someone got depowered, or retconned. If Thor shots lighting that destroyed mountains in the 60's and then he shoots lighting and only destroys buildings in the 2005, you bet your ass I would see that as a invalid feats

Fortunately, someone like say Thor has feats from modern times. Arguably Thor's greatest strength feat, and a great deal of his feats of versatility without Mjolnir come from modern times. And it doesn't matter if I decide to use feats for a Thor debate from only the 60's and 70's and nothing else. Unless it was explicitly shown that he has lost said power or ability, gotten weaker, it was retconed, then you would have no basis to have any problem with said feats.

Or maybe Thor wasn't exerting as much power in the second instance. If you see Thor destroying mountains in the 60's, and then you see him destroying buildings say last year, that in no way indicates that he cannot destroy mountains with said lightning, unless in both instances he was stated to be using all of his power, and he accomplished noticeably less damage. Which has never happened by the way.

And of course Thor would have more feats back then than he has in say the last two decades. Him being dead, having much less appearances etc. impact his number of feats.

Don't try and compare that **** up DC calls a continuity to using older feats for characters in Marvel.

Using Pre-Crisis feats for characters such as Superman is invalid. Do I honestly need to explain to you why it is so?

Anything Post-Crisis or been re-shown is valid though.

And yes I could, use feats from 2000 to 2009 only if I had to. Of course I would only be limited to his new run, which unfortunately doesn't have a lot of feats in regards to battle and the last few issues of Volume 2, which does have some impressive enough feats, but the most impressive come from Rune King Thor, and King Thor and those are also invalid if we assume it's Classic Thor. It would be easier to use older feats, but debating for Thor while using feats in the last decade is certainly doable and even using those he would still be Top Tier, and have enough showings to show that he could beat say Superman.

that midgard serpent feat should never be used today because it is not representative of this era's thor's strength...kapish?

To call one an idiot is really idiotic especially when this is my opinion. Do I called you a Thor Sucking Moron because you are defending Thor?

It's pretty easy really. When ever it comes to Thor Vs a High herald character where feats are presented, it can easily be seen that the scans all are from 15+ years. Yet, there are almost(actually completely) none from 2000+. If they are, it is a rare occasion and usually the feats isn't too impressive, but again if You don't believe, I will prove it. I will take all the feats from Thor's Respect thread which are older and use them while you use feats from 2000+. Yes, you are right, you won't have as much, but surely you should be able to match the strength, speed, or power output.

When have I ever compared anything to DC. If I were to, it would be ridiculous. As of now, Superman has traveled with the LOSH, that makes it canon (if that's the correct term) to PC.

You have no basis for an argument. Arguably his most impressive strength feat, being the World Engine didn't happen that long ago.

That's utterly stupid. Unless Thor tried and failed to overpower or lift the Midgard Serpent recently, proved unable to reach those standards of strength, or that feat was retconned then it absolutely IS a representative of Thor's strength today, as nothing says otherwise.

I think limitless is a crass term when it comes to measuring strength, incalculable is what's used to describe strength that's well beyond basic Class 100. Like Martian Manhunter is shown to be weaker than Superman yet he's still said to have incalculable strength. That means that while his limits have never been measured in terms of lifting he's still not infinitely strong because Superman can overpower him.

Why? don't you know basic math?`

80% of his comics are from the 70s and 80s, 80% of his feats are from the 70s and 80s. Pretty simple, nothing wrong there really.

And we're taking it down to the 80s now? lmfao. The X-men and Avengers are taking one hell of a hit then as well. Not to mention the majority of marvel cosmic simply vanishing into thin air. Damn!

If it doesn't say classic then he would have the Odinforce. Or we'd have only Thor 603 + his annual. That's two comics.

Except the time they have both shown unquantifiable strength, or the times they have both risen to the occasion and defeated opponents or gone toe to toe with opponents that previously neither have harmed etc. or opponents their supposed piers cannot defeat. I've seen Thor temporarily, drop Kurse, the Destroyer, Mangog, hell even Odin, when pushed, when on average he can't even make any of them, even feel his attacks, even when his apparently going all out.

It really simply depends on the writer is all.

That's why it pays of to read the comics of the characters you argue about.

One of his greatest strength feats come from the early 90's as I recall. So does some of his greatest versatility feats.

He just has more feats from the 70's and 80's because he has vastly more appearances and as a result more showings from back then.

Wait, wait. Did you just lie? I'm just trying to see if you really know what the hell you're talking about here.

Because first we never used Thor feats that were newer than year 2000. Naturally you have not read any of these comics, so you get a little frustrated and think you've come up with a killer argument. Then you're faced with the reality that Classic Thor stops in year 2001. Oh no! What then!

This is when you came up with the brilliant plan that we never posted any of his feats from the 90s! Ha-ha! The respect thread probably has not a single feat from those days! But alas, once again you were proven wrong. The respect thread is smitten with feats from the 90s. Ah shucks, such bad luck. It's just not simply fair that the claims you make up on the spot should turn out to be false. Dangit!

But here here, perhaps there is yet hope! Maybe there are no worthwhile feats from the 90s! Yes, this must be the case! But oh no! It turns out that in the 90s Thor fought and defeated the Dark Gods and better yet, it was the time when BRB, Adam Warlock and Surfer all went down like flies! Or wait, wasn't that the time when Thor pushed back the world-engine itself? Perhaps his greatest strength and willpower feat 'till day! No wait, the 90s, that's when Thor drained the Presence of his life-force, a very popular argument with the kids these days! Oh damn, there is just no getting a break for you, is it?

Let's hear the next ridiculous claim. 3 strikes, by all accounts you should be out by now.

I think you made my point

Except if we talk about Thor, he has HASN'T gotten noticeably weaker or anything of the sort. He hasn't gotten weaker at all.

Stop being dense and making shit up. If you are referring to Thor of course.

There has been absolutely no evidence, that he has gotten weaker. You're argument consists of, "HE HAS MORE FEATS FROM BACK THEN SO CLEARLY HE WAS STRONGER BACK THEN", when you fail to take into account the fact that he has more than 90% of his appearances from those years. The showings he does have from the early 00's and the 90's however do rival and surpass his showings from back then. So you're argument is completely baseless.
