surfer is not blood lusted but superman is

SS doesn't need his board to fly. And why is Supes blood lusted but Surfer isn't? Any way Norrin bfr's him.

Because comics. That's why.

But I find this bogus, considering how much power he uses up doing everything else: flying should be among the easiest things for him to do. Plus, in comics, 99/100 times the Surfer tumbles from the sky when knocked off it.

Anyway, I see a bloodlusted Superman taking this.

chomperx9
ive never seen surfer fly without his board. ive seen him use his powers without the board but not fly

Mindship
He's done it on very, very rare occasion. The first time, he turned himself into a ball of energy to do it.

surfer wins it regardless. the board is something he can recreate instantly, if he requires it. he doesn't need it for flight, for motion or for power.

surfer can simply bfr superman into a wormhole or to some other dimension, for the easy, clean and non-violent win.

norrin

StyleTime
So you all believe The Silver Pedestrian walks right over him?

chomperx9
i think he has more abilities with the board than without it. like thor cant do certain things without mjolnir but he is still 100 strength level without it

Stomp. Superman

lol it's funny how stacked this seems in favor of Supes, yet Surfer can still win.

the board doesnt give him any powers. except maybe makes it easier for him to fly. its an extention of himself that he can recreate at will.

Same here. Supes should win this, but theres a chance he cant. Give Surfer his board and blood lust and the outcome shouldnt be in question.

Surfer doesn't need his board to fly but he also kind of does.In the warlock/surfer ressuerection pip steals his board and surfer is just sitting there for pip to bring him to adam.But surfer also can't really move without it.
I suppose he could propell himself with cosmic energy and thats what it looked like he was doing when he was "flying".
Surfer cannot recreate his board but he can make it into pure cosmic energy and move it whcih is what he did to escape his earth imprisonment.
As for fight with bloodlusted supes and surfer with no board supes takes it easy.

chomperx9
he has the board for a reason. must give him some sort of extra strengh level and speed. i doubt surfer can fly light speed without it.

Surfer still kick Sups ass.

Doctor-Alvis
He has it because back in the 60's Jack Kirby was like "Dude, ever see someone flyin' on a surfboard? No? Watch this ****."

I think he flies faster with it. Like warp speeds faster. And he can trap people in it. That's about it as far as I can tell. In theory it could be anything because he's remade the board himself. If he wanted to he could make it a silver Huffy.

redhotrash
So true, Surfer is such a product of his time period. Almost picture him in a surfer's pose with beach music playing in the background. Thors hammer knocks him off and you get "Do-do-do, Whipeout!"

Also, why are blackholes such jobbers in comics?

Supposedly, Kirby came up with the surfboard because he was "tired of drawing spaceships." The Surfer himself was simplistic: no toes, fingernails, no hair nor ears, not even a costume. Heck, all you needed was some blue coloring to simulate silver. I guess Jack was looking for a character that was quick and easy to draw, especially in contrast to the fancy-armored Galactus.

Surfers cosmic awareness tells him that certain radiation waves will weaken superman and do to superman what he did to gladiaor

superman is a solar battery... Surfer has shown he can drain hulk of all the gamma radiation in his body in moments...

Surfer also already drained solar energy from an alien girl, so...

Who isn't....Superman

Mindship
It's been my impression that when Superman is enraged enough, he isn't so easily taken down by his weaknesses.

xJLxKing
He ain't. He recentlty survived an Kryptonite exposure but the same can't be said for the other Kryptonian who instead died.

Wild Shadow
sigh.. surf boardless surfer still wins..

he can fly without it but it takes him effort to do so.. he has bn shown to fly without it and bn surrounded by energy.

it is also simply a manifestation of himself.. its like giving a farmer the cosmic power and having a shovel appear in his hand with the ability to move dirt.. that is how the power manifest to such a person but it is inherent in him and can be changed and altered with conscious effort.

also the board can be remade by surfer like liquid metal from his own body..

all the board does is make flying 1st nature to SS..

anyways SS still beats superman but not b4 taking a quick blitz pounding..

As the saying goes, It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. This is not just a comparison of power, it's a comparison in attitudes: Supes is out to kill; Surfer is probably monologuing.

current Surfer does seem to let his fists do some of the talking, even if he does so very reluctantly.

take the BRB "fight" for example, Surfer monologued but then decided that they weren't really communicating so...

if he's willing to put that kind of hurt on a friend and former ally, he has enough "fight" to take out scrappy-do here.

Even then Surfer still has way too many advantages to lose this. suppermans physical attacks can be nullified by forcefields and even with surfers limited mobility, surfer can still use drainage/red sun radiation to weaken him greatly or take him out completely. Then there is the fact that even in a straight shootout surfers blasts are more than sufficient to take out a full healthy superman let alone a heavily weakened one. Even without his board he is still superior offense and defense wise which gives him the win here.

Yeah. I'd give the win to bloodlusted Superman, but its still pretty close. I keep thinking back to the Silver Savage and scans already posted here against Red Shift without his board.

It's not a walkover, but Supes wins.

Even without his board he is still superior offense and defense wise which gives him the win here. I've always maintained that in terms of overall power and versatility, Surfer is indeed ahead. In regular mode and all else being equal, I think he can take Supes even w/o weakness exploitation: he's that powerful.

But w/o his board, I can see Superman more likely getting in with h2h speedblitzing, his rage empowering him long enough against weakness exploitation, and getting through Surfer's forcefields far more quickly than, say, nonbloodlusted Thor had.

I guess it depends on how big the power gap one sees between the two. Though I do see Soarin' Norrin as the stronger, I don't see the difference as insurmountable.

Agreed on he first part

On the second part tho, the forcefields that surfer used against thor were certainly not some of his best and even then that was olden era surfer who was much weaker. his forcefields have stood up to the blows of an enraged bannerless hulk with know effect at all as well as alot of other dangerous forces. As for the rage thing, i honestly dont put much stock in that at all. IMO Its indeed a large stretch to say that supes rage would enable him overcome surfers forcefields, surfers depowering attacks as well as his regular attacks which can take him out of their own accord let alone when he is already weakened, and then KO him given surfers extreme durability unless surfer was deliberately trying not to put up a fight.

Naah, I didnt say this was the only way that I could see Superman winning but I can see this happening a couple of times.

I just see the CIS factor of Surfer gaining him a couple of loses. If both of them had CIS off, then yes I agree, Surfer would get the majority but this is a fight that is more in Supes favor.

I would love to see a "Herald Madness" Surfer take on some of the combatants who've gotten the better of him in the past. shifty

With regard to Surfer recreating his board for this fight: isn't that counter to the point of this thread?

Originally posted by Starscream M

But what he wont have is the degree of experience that Supes has in fighting in this manner (ie, close-quarters). Superman's combo of strength, h2h speed and bloodlust, against boardless* Joe Pacifist is, IMO, what scores the win here.

* by being boardless, Surfer loses his best attack vantage against Superman: rapid-flight, longer-ranged attacks.

Thanos saw surfer coming... The glint in his eye...
If u are as fast as your opponent... And your opponent is not only teyin to run to you and snatch something out of your hand...

And all u had to do was move your hand a few inches... What is more difficult...

This argument has been put up around here for a while now an it's stupid.

Makes sense, since Thanos' PC reserves are greater than Surfer's.
And Thanos is nigh-skyfather, whilst Surfer is merely high-herald at best.

I consider him a trans level being since he has the feats proving this and since he can outright STOMP some of the Herald (all if you think about it) if you took CIS off.
