The main 3 consist of:

Silver Surfer
Thor
Beta Ray Bill

CIS/CIP is off for the trio. They use ALL of their abilities and is fighting to kill. This rule only applies to the main 3.


The JLA consist of:

Superman
Wonder Woman
GL (Hal)
Martian Manhunter
Orion (standard gear)
Captain Marvel

Prep-Man
JLA.

-Pr-
JLA Massacres.

Harbinger
WTF? JLA stomps.

carver9
I'm just seeing a barrage of blasts coming from team one that includes the God blast, blast strong enough to create black holes, intagibility, etc...

Harbinger
What in the hell makes you think Thor gets the chance to fire off a GB? Beyond numbers, there's too much speed on the JLA's side for the three to win.

so they'd fight the way you want them to, not the way they would even when not holding back?

SumOfAllFear
jla stomp.

ww and superman take care of BRB in less than a minute\
CM and MM take out thor in two minutes
Orion and GL take out surfer in five minutes tops

chomperx9

With CIS/CIP off only for the 3, I could see them holding their on and maybe winning. The JLA wouldn't be nearly as effective with their usual mentalities.

This is what I was thinking. Amping abilities, Thor going into Warrior madness states, surfer shooting blast strong enough to create black holes, Beta Ray bill hitting people with planet destroying hits, etc...

Thor wins cause of this!

"Come Storm!"

Rage.Of.Olympus
I think the trio could hold their own. Even win. The JLA team consisting almost entirely of beings who often engage their opponents up close really helps. Thor could battle remove nearly the entire lot of them with a few zaps. The trio better avoid getting dog piled etc. by any means.

Prep-Man
Orion, Diana, and Hal can teleport. So, they aint being BFR.

idk about Orion, and didn't diana have to meditate and focus alot of "teleport" and also she did it like how many times? And with CIS off, Hal's ring is gonna get drained.

Juntai
When Orion can just open boom tubes, no one is getting bfr.

Bouboumaster
If they can send bfr Captain Marvel and Manhunter far, far away, and that Surfer quickly kill Sups, they might have a shot.

But most likely, JLA stomp

Well, since any of them have the tool Surfer have in his Cosmic Awarness power, it might really well be more difficult than that.

Guys, don't forget it's CIS/CIP OFF for the main 3 (while the JLA still has CIS/CIP). The team can pull off wins here. Surfer turns his board into a FTL monomolecule blade and start lopping off heads. He can travel back in time and kill the JLA before they were born, shrink to microbe size and open black holes in their heads.

Thor can just lifeforce suck them. Godblast them while they try to resist super typhoons that he's creating....

BRB is just useless, tho.

I say JLA wins 7/10. The main 3 takes wins tho.

BRB is equal to Thor. I respect the **** out of BRB, and he is one of the more interesting marvel characters.

D_Dude1210
BRB is not as versatile as Thor in using his abilities. And in this CIS/CIP environment, he doesn't have any cheap abilities that can exploit the stips.

Brute force isn't gonna win him anything in this fight. Team JLA has far more brute force than the 3 can ever muster and all BRB has been shown to be good for is hitting stuff.

Its pretty obvious you just want to make a pro-Marvel spite thread. laughing out loud

Even with PIS/CIS on for JLA their numbers make this bad odds for the "Main 3".

I know about Orion and Hal. Had not clue Diana could do it. What scene/issue are you referring to?

Still, if they manage to take out even half of the JLA members by battle field removal from the get go, this evens out their odds a lot.

They need to fight smart here.

no, it's not. they don't fight the way you want them to. they just fight with less restrictions than before.

Rage.Of.Olympus
Although I love Bill, I don't see the point of him here. Thor makes him a bit redundant. I don't know who I'd replace him with so I guess Bill is better than Gladiator or some other generic brick. Massive offensive power plus the potential to be incredibly versatile will do.

First, you didn't fix anything. I changed my quote back the way I intended it. Shall we take a glance at your posts and see if you end every one of them "in my opinion?" The answer is no. Most people with half a brain know that we are stating our opinions on these fights. Althought in reality, you do seem to think that everything you say is gospel so I can see how you might have been confused.

And your Thor fanboyism is off the charts so don't even play that very weak card.

You basically posted my answer. Everything I say is the gospel truth. You on the other hand....well, the "in my opinion" phrase is your fall back card.

Be right back.

A phrase that I didn't use is my fall back card. Your logic is . . . astounding.

Oh, I have no doubt that you believe that. The problem with the gospel truth is that it rarely, if ever, is actually true. But keep living in that made up world of yours. I'm sure it must keep you very happy.

Which less restrictions? I take CIP to mean self-imposed moral inhibitions to lethal use of power and CIS to mean poor use of a powerset due to lack of creativity, intelligence or strategic finesse. With both off, why can't we refer to them using their powers in anyway their powersets allow it?

What self-imposed limitations of power use should remain?

you're right to a point. morals go out the window, and they're prepared to use lethal force. it STILL has to be something they've either done before or shown to be reasonably capable of given their own intelligence, though.

Well, they have done all the things people here are claiming and I thought elimating CIS would take care of the intelligence limitation to a point. Like Rhino, who isn't smart enough to avoid pools of wet cement would have a better chance at winning with CIS off - not that he'd become a tactical genius without CIS and pull batman tricks out of hsi ass, but his grotesque stupidity would be disregarded. Likewise thor would focus on range attacks, energy drain and BFR instead of brawling it out like a moron.

no. intelligence isn't disregarded. intelligence is constant regardless.

and yes, with no restrictions thor would fight smartly, as would surfer, superman, green lantern, flash, blackbolt etc

they're still bound by their own intelligence and tactical ability though. they're not going to think up strategies that we do just because it's in their powerset.

because J'onn is a better psychic than Norrin?

D_Dude1210
Well, the tactics I mentioned are all viable.

Norrin is probably the most dangerous with CIS/CIP off.

With CIS/CIP off, I can see Norrin taking down Superman via weakness exploit before they can even react (due to CIS/CIP on the JLA side, they WON'T go for the blitz and Superman will most likely tank the first hit like he normally does). Then maybe shrink down to microverse level, enter CM's brain and pop a singularity in there. After that, I can see the JLA reacting and things get a bit more interesting.

Also, time travel cheapness is a viable tactic here for the Surfer. He's done it before.

That's how Surfer does it. Now, can any member of the JLA do this?

Surfer has the Cosmic Awarness, which does the job perfectly. Probably better that any feat of tracking John ever had. Also, in telepathy, Surfer is no slouch himself:

his cosmic awareness isn't nearly as developed as you claim. he's no genis.

i've seen all those scans before. i don't know what they're supposed to prove, considering last i checked requiem wasn't canon.

being "no slouch" isn't the same as being able to match one of the premier telepaths in DC.

he's not telepathically beating j'onn.

oh, teleportation.

gl rings can scan in to other universes, though. a long shot but a possibility.

aint no way these 3 will win over that many.

Orion & Green Lantern > Silver Surfer
Superman & Wonder Woman > Thor
Martian Manhunter & Captain Marvel > Beta Ray Bill

Isn't this a spite thread? Anyway, the Justice League via numbers.

D_Dude1210
Surfer and Thor are pretty awesome w/ CIS/CIP off. Just to point out a few things the Surfer can do and HAS done in the past:

-Turn his board into a FTL flying super accurate guillotine
-Travel back in time to stop the JLA from being born
-Shrink to microverse level. Add that with the ability to open black holes = ouch.
-Pull people in the Astral plan where (apparently) the Power Cosmic can pretty much dominate anything.

Thor has the godblast and lifeforce suck as well.

Sadly, BRB is useless here.

Not saying they win, just saying they don't get stomped. Might even pull a win or 2.

Lord Feron
JLA but by the skin of their teeth.

That doesn't really make sense pr. I mean it stands for Character induced stupidity the root examples of CIS in action are guys like Rhino, so if CIS is turned off it seems like it means that intelligence goes out the window. If the character is still dumb, his character induced stupidity still seems to be in effect. CIP being turned off would certainly be different scenario though.

We borrow the term from CBR and by their definition pretty much any logical extension of a characters powerset that's supported by feats is acceptable when it's turned off. Not that I'm saying we have to be like them mind you, but if we're going to take the term in a different direction we should probably clarify it in the rules to avoid confusion and tell people the proper term to use if they mean our equiveant of CBR's No CIS.

i was talking about CIP, sorry.

CIS is an inaccurate term imo.
