(Plays the theme music from Terminator 2)

For those of you that dont already know this, Cyberdyne Systems Corporation is the company responsible from the creation of the extremely power, extremely evil, computer program known as Skynet; in the future Skynet initiates a large scale nuclear exchange and brings mankind to the brink of extinction...

Uatu is aware of what is to come and the longterm ramifications which will result from this event occuring, and so has picked the following individuals to stop Skynet from initiating the nuclear exchange...

1) Bruce Wayne
2) Tony Stark
3) Hank Pym
4) Nick Fury

In this senario, Skynet has just attained sentient status, has decided to kill off humanity, and is getting ready to start Judgement Day (the firing of the ICBM's at Russia which will cause Russia to fight back and launch its ICBM's at the US)...

Furthermore, being a sentient program and possessing incredible computational ability (can do 20 petaflops/second), Skynet can put its consciousness into any computer wired to the internet in the world at will...

Each of the above individuals has 1 hour to successfully pin Skynet down, hack into the computer its consciousness is located in, and shut Skynet down before the nukes launch...

Can any of the above individuals do it?

(and yes, I left out Doom and Richards for obvious reasons)

Deadline
Well if all of them go together then as a team they can win. Not sure if Nick Furys hacking skills are that good but he's obvously very good at strategy. So I think they could all do individually but I'm not sure about Nick.

TheLordofMurder
They dont go as a team, but individually...

They could all do it not sure about Nick.

Pym.

a 1990 computer network is nothing compared to what we have today, the limits of the "cyber ghost" are far smaller.

Well at 20 petaflops/sec, Skynet would annihilate any current supercomputer in the world in number crunching ability...

TheLordofMurder
Blasted...should have made this a poll topic; could you do that for me Pr?

TheLordofMurder
But anyway, I honestly dont think any of them could stop Skynet in this senario...

Just my opinion though...

Pym is better with AI, though.

Tony is best with AI. Pym's just as likely to make Skynet Ultron 5.0 as he is to stop the threat

But they only have 1 hour and there are hundreds if not over a thousand of them; I dont think the exact location of all of them are common knowledge...

And if one of them was able to find out the location of all of them (Fury should be able to obtain this info almost instantly), I find it hard to believe they could physically destroy them all within an hour...

If the goal was to shut down the computers used to launch them, Skynet would be attempting to block their efforts; in T-3, Skynet was simutaneoulsy manipulating computers all across America...

I am sure the best of them as pertains to computers (Pym and Stark) could stop some of them from launching, but I cant see them stopping all of them within an hour...

Very true though; Pym might make things worse...

Tony is still a technopath no? He probably has the best bet.

He also has the best bet of taking out the nuke threat by launching all his armors to take out all the nukes at their sites.

Good point; he would have the best bet of physically stopping all of the nukes...

To comments that reed was left off for obvious reasons..

When Tony faced off against sentry he hacked cloc and broke through reeds firewalls and safeties in minutes disabling everything... He even commented on reeds poor software skills...


Tony for the win

Take out nick, and add either Cyborg Superman, or Braniac, because Fury's useless here.

... Cyborg superman was able to take over the alpha lanterns...and the manhunters... Cyberdyne would be a mid afternoon snack to him.

Brainiac would be overkill also...

And nick fury is never useless... Except with his secret avengers issues which I feel were a waste of his talents. :-/

When it concerns technologies, and certain things, yes he's useless.

He's more a strategists, than he's technology wiz.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Pym

The cosmic entity Eternity reveals to Pym that he is Earth's "Scientist Supreme", the scientific counterpart to the Earth's current Sorcerer Supreme, as he is able to create science with effects similar to magic. However, Loki later claims to have been posing as Eternity in order to trick Pym.

Apparently it's in Mighty Avengers 34

rotiart
I think it was the issue where hank used science to capture loki.. And then boasts It was something like he was chosen by eternity. Loki says he was eternity. Hank gets pissed and uses a device to hurt loki. Loki cries out to Thor for help... And Thor comes and asks Hank to release loki... I don't think Hank bought what Loki was saying though...

Course Loki being the god of mischief and lies... Who knows.

Guys, why do you keep asking to replace one person with another? This is not a team scenario, the question is which one of them can do it best? Tony is the obvious answer.

Well wiki just stated thats what Loki said, it didn't say it was true. Yea I read that bit of the comic and I suspect Loki was messing with him. However Loki did say what we were all thinking. To paraphrase what Loki said " Are you kidding me you really think the universe would pick you over Reed Richards and Doom?" He did mention Cho but I don't know shit about him.

The scientist supreme thing is a load of bullocks and should have been Reed. Pym GTFO.

The Dark Cloud
It said who could beat "the corporation", not one of it's computers or machines. All of them would instantly be crushed...corporations are all powerful. Cyberdyne would deny any of them employment based on prior negative publicity and inappropriate business attire during interviews. Then cyberdyne would initiate a hostile takeover of their financial assets. it would also blacklist them from all but menial service jobs.

It would corner the market on their occuptional specialities and then outsource them to China for cheaper labor.
Bruce, Tony, and Hank last for about a year on unemployment and food stamps, Nick is lucky and gets hired at Wal Mart.
Meanwhile Cyberdine's 28 year old CEO makes about 1,098,456,322 times what they do in bonuses and stock options alone.

Eternity also said that Reed was the "Explorer" and Tony the "Engineer".

Pym has shown real Dr Who like qualities lately. He was also a Skrull for a long time. Ever since his return he's kicked ass.

It has to be stressed that Loki was completely captured by Pym when Loki spewed his desperate attempt to create hostility amongst the team.
Pym had Loki on a hook. And Thor saved him.

Made me think of the period in Avengers West Coast where he had lost his growing/shrinking powers (supposedly permanently at the time). He just called himself plain "Dr Pym", became the resident team scientist, and even dressed like the old Dr Who, complete with scarf and floppy hat and seemingly endless pockets full of gadgets.
