No order just top 5

Please don't put an order because that leads to more arguments than civil debating.

Orion
Thor
Superman
SilverSurfer
Sentry

Those are my picks
What are yours

Again please don't rank 1-5 just the top 5

Branlor Swift
Surfer
Morg
Stardust
Firelord
Red Shift

I'd include Fallen One but we didn't get to see much. Air Walker's a glass cannon, Nova is a girl, and Terrax is sad at times. Destroyer wasn't around that long so meh.

If we're counting non canon, then I could see why you'd throw Superman, and Thor up there. Not sure when Orion or Sentry have been heralds though.

pym-ftw
I meant level not heralds of galactus

BTW your missing destroyer armor
ninja

Mshinu
Nate Grey
Hal Jordan
Thor
Silver Surfer
Lobo

DarkSaint85
And Aunt May, Golden Oldie.

My top 5 in no order:
Superman
Thor
Gladiator
Surfer
Green Lantern Jordan.

Back to the ole issue of what makes one a herald?

What if we define it as a character that could perform all of the tasks required of a herald of Galactus under their own abilities? In other words, without Galan having to change them in any way. Obviously not including characters that have been empowered by Galan in the first place of course.

IMO Flash is at least trans so I won't include him

Surfer
Superman
Hal/kyle
Thor
Orion

Note: WW didn't make it because her lack of versatility of fighting a variety of foes. But definitely she would be in the top 5 if we only considered Top heralds in a one on one situation against another herald.

In all seriousness, even though he can't be classified as a herald. With CIS on, he is on par with the majority of them.

Philosophía
I always find it rather odd how from DC, there's only Superman that's being put in the same 'top tier' with Thor and Surfer, when people like Black Adam and Orion are easily in their league.

Black Adam's combat record up until Flashpoint was actually astonishingly good.

You don't think Orion is physically on their levels?

Galan007
He is. However, I believe Majestic is physically more powerful than Orion, and he's also quite a bit more versatile. That's why I'd pick him over Orion.

Harbinger
Probably has more to do with having a high opinion of Majestic (dude's moved planets + is a supah genius) than necessarily having a low opinion of Orion, if I had to guess.

*Strength: Majestic can effortlessly move planets.
*Speed: Majestic can travel FTL for weeks on end, and perceive/react on a nanosecond-by-nanosecond basis.
*Durability: Majestic survived an explosion that destroyed most of the earth/moon, possesses a nigh-unrivaled healing factor, and is effectively immortal/ageless.
*Intelligence: Majestic is a scientific genius of an extremely high order, is able to think at the speed of light, and can process billions of bits of information per second.
*Weaponry: The Kusar blades-- capable of cutting/blocking energy attacks. Capable of cutting Majestic himself.
*Misc abilities: Majestic has used his energy vision to reprogram the Eradicator, to alter the entire atomic structure of Jupiter(essentially transmuting it into a different planet all together), and to create a duplicate Sun from scratch.

Orion is very powerful, but I just don't believe he is quite that powerful-- which is why I'd replace him with Majestic. /shrug

All of his abilities taken into consideration, Maj would definitely beat Orion soundly. That's not to say I think Orion is weak(far from, in fact), but Majestic is just... Above him. Significantly above him.

Yeah, in all honesty what are Orion's speed feats to say he could touch Majestic?


Actually no, phuck that noise. Orion solos.

so basically u think Maj can take Orion about 9-10/10.. < those are stomp numbers..

nuh uh... nuh uh.. with all of Orion's abilities taken into consideration no way it's a stomp.

CosmicComet
I'd put Orion a little above bullet timing speed wise, unless I'm missing some huge speed feats.


That's not fast enough to challenge Majestic.

Batman-Prime
^Actually I would consider how they are treated when meeting people in their "tier". Majestics met Superman and it was clear as day that he considers him his equal, though we all know Supes would still beat him. On the other hand, Orion does pretty well against Superman. In a comic fight my bet would be on Orion tbh. A split seems more probable then an one sided stomp.

abhilegend
Majestic wouldn't demolish orion at all. Its debatable whether he can even take a majority and I would give orion a slight node over majestros due to astro force.

No phuck that noise.

If you treat 'portrayals in fights' seriously, you'd end up with the conclusion that Batman is faster than Superman because he can avoid shots from the likes of General Eiling or Grundy whereas Superman gets tagged by them readily.

Likewise, you'd have to believe Hulk is FTL for being able to punch a nanosecond level guy like Gladiator--which would also make Colossus and Wolverine nanosecond level guys for also hitting Gladiator.

You don't get access to speed levels that you don't at least get mention of. Fights alone aren't enough, because, you know, its plot ridden.

Do you believe Orion is fast enough to rebuild an entire city in seconds by hand? No?

Then he's not in the tier of speed I am talking about.

Wait what?

How in the hell is Majestic going to go about beating Orion soundly? Seriously underselling the Dog of War here.

It's extremely debatable who wins the majority in a fight. Majestic might have greater speed feats but Orion is flat out more powerful and versatile if you take into account the mother box and Astro Force. And the latter is almost always a bigger factor in fights between beings of this caliber.

Like we haven't been over this at least a hundred times before, Carver.

Galan007
Anyone can answer this...

Speed feats for Orion that are on par with perceiving/reacting by the nanosecond?
Strength feats for Orion that are on par with moving planets effortlessly?
Energy feats for Orion that are comparable to transmuting the entirety of Jupiter instantly, and creating a duplicate Sun?

When I see those, I'll believe Orion can hang. Until then, yeah, Majestic would win soundly.

Since you've read these fights, you should be smarter than this. Superman knows he can take the hits and Batman knows he can't. Superman often underestimates his superbrick opponents' speed and Batman does not. And Superman almost always fights these opponents with pure power, not hit-and-run Flash tactics. This is Superman, not Flash. Originally posted by CosmicComet

Then he's not in the tier of speed I am talking about. Orion's fought Superman several times showing them to be physical peers. Simply dismissing them out of hand because you think they should have gone down differently doesn't change these facts. And these facts should heavily inform your opinion.

If Orion was under some blue Astroforce star amping him, maybe he would.

Then neither is Superman in an actual fight. You'll have to learn to deal with this. You can't simply ignore Superman's character established by thousands of comics.

He flew from new genesis to earth in a heartbeat.
He shook entire apokolips with a double hand strike. Earth can fit in a small lake on apokolips.
He was going to destroy earth while firing astro force to the moon and contained oblivion bomb which was going to destroy entire universe. This is fun.

And you realize all of that is entirely irrelevant if he can't hang with Majestic's battle speed, right?

No. What I'm talking about is completely divergent from the idea of Superman simply taking a hit to test something or shield someone.

When we have scenes like Superman being able to charge at Eiling, while being drawn as sort of blur, yet still being hit, whilst we know Batman is absolutely not that fast at all and yet will still be able to dodge the same kind of punch, we know something wrong.




No. We have forum rules to deal with things that are divergent from what should happen. Eliminating PIS and the characters 'fighting to their best'.

Ignoring the meaning of speed feats in fights that happens in comics is due to what? That's right, a product of PIS.

Ignoring the city building feat vs supposed blue sun amp for even just a moment--since that would be getting in to another tangent--we have Superman speed feats, and then we have Orion speed feats. One person, is millions of times faster. Millions. That's far greater than the speed disparity between someone like Muhammad Ali and say George Chuvalo. And the thing is, Orion isn't even hinted to at least be on the same sort of speed level as Superman, even if he had a clear cut statement, it may suffice. But he doesn't.

You don't get to ignore the meaning of something like that in a forum fight where we aren't writing stories, 'just because'. An argument such as this is simply a matter of sentiment. It doesn't 'feel right' to say Gladiator would annihilate Hulk since he's millions of times faster by feats--but I don't deal in sentiment. I deal in what is derivable objectively.

Of course you would make this sort of argument. Because it would give you the sort of leeway to actually argue for characters who have absolutely shit speed feats in the grand scheme of things vs those who have great ones. Otherwise those kinds of fights become completely obsolete. But it doesn't gel, and when inspected for consistency, the logic falls apart.

We know, for example, that Hulk is a guy that Peter Parker is fast enough to readily dodge. Indeed, Parker has even remarked that Hulk moves in 'slow motion' to him. How do you then justify Hulk being able to hit someone like Gladiator in a forum fight then, if Gladiator is fighting 'to his best'? You can't. Period. All that remains to be said is the whole 'in-character in play' argument, though the problems of this being obvious in that this would require you to believe that its 'in character' for someone like Gladiator to be retarded (seeing as you'd have to be to stand in place and let someone who's taking minutes to simply blink, land a blow on you), as well as the fact that Gladiator was 'in-character' when he performed his speed feats (obviously he wasn't pretending to be someone else). So sure, one can still make the argument that Hulk would beat someone like Gladiator if 'gladiator doesn't use his speed', but, what if he does? Then what? What's Hulk's answer? Nothing. Absolutely, nothing. The entire argument against the far faster character relies on it 'not feeling right' to say he could easily beat the far slower character without the latter being able to do anything about it, and the 'in-character' argument then just admits that the only way the faster character can win is not through their own merits, but the actions of the faster character--admitting that their fate is entirely in the faster character's hands.

Suck it up. They 'fight to their best' afterall. None of the sentimental begging holds water thus.

edit: It's funny, though, you tried to make people argue for Superman being able to easily beat the likes of Lobo and other bricks within their own universe since they have no speed feats on par and rely only on fights to show any sort of relative stature with him, and now when I actually argue within this sort of stance you're like 'no you can't say that'. So basically, it boils down to you wanting some excuse to say Hulk can beat someone millions of times faster than them, and try to take some casuality down on the 'other side' when they don't argue in favor of it. And yet when the argument actually agrees with your attempt to take some casualities, all of a sudden it still doesn't work. Lol. I like Orion very much. Just as I like Lobo And it is indeed a 'casuality' for me to say they would lose to Superman in a forum thread since they don't have the speed feats, or even implied speed to compete with him. But, c'est la vie.

Anyway, it seems like Orion was able to stop the bomb because the Astro Force is comprised of the exact opposite energies of the Oblivion Bomb-- thus he was able to cancel it out. However, I'm not quite sure how that'd help him against Majestic..?

Admitting that you're forcing the exclusion of completely sensible explanations serves your argument how?

Superman flying a straight line tackle can be batted down by superbricks... not shocking. Your bald-faced assumption that General Eiling was fighting Batman as hard as he was fighting Superman such that the punches he throws are exactly the same... also not shocking.

Ignoring the meaning of speed feats in fights that happens in comics is due to what? That's right, a product of PIS. Stop conflating CIS with PIS. Stop inventing feats and fighting styles. Stop pretending you can translate superspeed watching Flash eat pie as proof that Superman can throw 1,000,000,0000 punches in a second. If you just do three simple, rational things, you'd have far less issues. Originally posted by CosmicComet

Stop pretending that superspeed talking leads to superspeed blitzing.

You don't get to ignore the thousands of comics where Superman doesn't throw 1,000,000,000 punches in a second, let alone 1,000s at an opponent. Just like Thor fanboys don't get to ignore Thor not BFR'ing every single god damn opponent he faces in his comics. The important distinction: at least Thor's actually performed that numerous times against opponents.

This isn't an argument, it's a statement of unextraordinary and undeniable fact. Superman does not go around blitzing people at nanosecond speeds. Your hamfisted appeal for consistency doesn't even have a basis to begin with. Originally posted by CosmicComet

How do you then justify Hulk being able to hit someone like Gladiator in a forum fight then, if Gladiator is fighting 'to his best'? You can't. Period. All that remains to be said is the whole 'in-character in play' argument, though the problems of this being obvious in that this would require you to believe that its 'in character' for someone like Gladiator to be retarded (seeing as you'd have to be to stand in place and let someone who's taking minutes to simply blink, land a blow on you), as well as the fact that Gladiator was 'in-character' when he performed his speed feats (obviously he wasn't pretending to be someone else). So sure, one can still make the argument that Hulk would beat someone like Gladiator if 'gladiator doesn't use his speed', but, what if he does? Then what? What's Hulk's answer? Nothing. Absolutely, nothing. The entire argument against the far faster character relies on it 'not feeling right' to say he could easily beat the far slower character without the latter being able to do anything about it.

Suck it up. They 'fight to their best' afterall. None of the sentimental begging holds water thus. Because we've seen Gladiator fighting at his best on-panel. And Gladiator doesn't buzz around like the Flash when fighting an enormously strong opponent that manages to surprise him with his own speed and is already on top of him like white on rice.

So deal with it. Your entire conception of comic characters fighting at their best isn't just wholly disconnected from characters fighting at their best on-panel, sometimes it's completely contradictory. You can try to deny that these characters have never fought at their best on-panel (a retarded proposition), and that these imaginary non-feats of fighting styles and fighting feats serve as some objective basis for your opinion (a retarded sentiment), but you're simply stuck in your own deluded world.

You want to rage against how comics portray characters, rage all you want. Stop pretending like your objectively deconstructing some double standard here. All you're doing is revealing your own arbitrary predilections.

To accept the notion that Orion can simply 'fly' from New Genesis to earth, you'd have to ignore continuity that has been established dozens upon dozens of times since then... ie. you NEED a boom tube to get from the 4th World to the 3rd dimension, because, well, they are an entire dimension apart. :-/

Yep, this is the size of apokolips Motherbox scales beings down when they enter the 3rd dimension, and scales them up when they enter the 4th World:
http://s4d2.turboimagehost.com/t1/13077671_0.jpg

Other than Orion flat-out telling/showing us this in NG #10, it was blatantly shown during OWAW, when Apokolips itself was boom tubed near earth. As you can see, Apokolips was roughly the size of a moon in comparison to the earth:
http://s4d4.turboimagehost.com/t1/13077668_1.jpg

http://s4d4.turboimagehost.com/t1/13077669_2.jpg

So while Apokolips might be bigger than earth from a dimension away, it is, proportionally speaking, the size of a moon next to earth. Thus, Orion 'shaking' it is, proportionally speaking, no different than 'shaking' a moon... Which really isn't a big deal to elite heralds.

Superman flying a straight line tackle can be batted down by superbricks... not shocking.

Stop conflating CIS with PIS. Stop inventing feats and fighting styles. Stop pretending you can translate superspeed watching Flash eat pie as proof that Superman can throw 1,000,000,0000 punches in a second. If you just do three simple, rational things, you'd have far less issues. This has nothing to do with writer or poster sentimentality. Stop pretending that superspeed talking leads to superspeed blitzing.

You don't get to ignore the thousands of comics where Superman doesn't throw 1,000,000,000 punches in a second, let alone 1,000s at an opponent. Just like Thor fanboys don't get to ignore Thor not BFR'ing every single god damn opponent he faces in his comics. The important distinction: at least Thor's actually performed that numerous times against opponents.

This isn't an argument, it's a statement of unextraordinary and undeniable fact. Superman does not go around blitzing people at nanosecond speeds. Your hamfisted appeal for consistency doesn't even have a basis to begin with.

So basically, it boils down to you wanting some excuse to say Hulk can beat someone millions of times faster than him, and try to take some casualty down on the 'other side' when they don't argue in favor of it. And yet when the argument actually agrees with your attempt to take some casualties, all of a sudden it still doesn't work. Lol. I like Orion very much. Just as I like Lobo And it is indeed a 'casualty' for me to say they would lose to Superman in a forum thread since they don't have the speed feats, or even implied speed to compete with him. But, c'est la vie.

Well, like I said, depends on the situation. But that's just IMO. But instances of perspective (when it's obvious that perspective occurred) and artistic symbolism would def be some of the moments wherein it would be silly to use as direct measurements.

But there ARE instances where size is very indicative in art. Not here to debate the fact as I'm enjoying just reading about it. I just happen to agree with Galan's position on the size but I agree with you on Orion's position in terms of power (I also happen to think he would take a good number of wins from Majestic due to his implied power levels).

And just so you don't try to argue this dead horse any longer, here's scans which flat-out state the Apokolips is in a different universe/dimension than earth, and only accessible via boom tube:

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Superman/WonderWomanv2173pg01.jpg You can't be serious.

First scan: Apokolips/Warworld are CLEARLY in the foreground, while Earth is CLEARLY in the background. Why? Because Apokolips was intended to be closer to the reader, while Earth was intended to be farther away. If you have any additional questions regarding this subject, I suggest Googling "depth perception", and/or "depth of field." I honestly should not have to be explaining such simple concepts to an alleged 'comic book fan.' :-/

Second scan: Symbolism, plain and simple... Unless you think that Pluto(which is the 'planet/moon' Warworld was converted from) is the same size as Earth..? :-/

That said, the above illustrations are not, in any way/shape/form, comparable to this scene:
http://s4d2.turboimagehost.com/t1/13094931_3.jpg

As you can see, Apokolips and Earth are in the same general space, and we can CLEARLY see that Earth is VASTLY larger. End of story.


That is likely why ALL of Apokolips was visible over Metropolis:
http://s4d4.turboimagehost.com/t/13095042_4.jpg

Conversely, Mageddon, which actually WAS larger than Earth, could not be viewed in its totality when it moved close to Earth, because, well, it was simply too big:
http://s4d4.turboimagehost.com/t/13095043_5.jpg http://s4d4.turboimagehost.com/t/13095044_6.jpg


To break it down even simpler for you: Apokolips was smaller than Earth, so they were able to see the whole planet from Earth. Mageddon was larger than Earth, so they were only able to see part of it from Earth. Easy, right?

Three decades. Hardly that long. Nope. Good try though. It should be discarded because more recent evidence depicts Apokolips as Moon-esque in comparison to Earth, when they are both the same scale. Again: the most recent info=most canon, so Orion 'shaking' Apokolips really dosn't impress me.

The only blitz that matters is his battle with an amped Spartan, in which he perceived/reacted to Spartan's movements on a nanosecond-by-nanosecond basis:

Please post scans of Orion battling with that type of speed, or I will take it as your concession that he simple ISN'T that fast. Stop dodging.

You're going nowhere Galan. That very old statement will disprove anything you can bring up.

Apokolips beings used to only take up the planetary space of earth... in the same arc as the "omg it big" scan

With that said, there's no proof Earth isn't hundreds of times smaller than Apokolips.

...Though I doubt it will matter to him, because he has a single 30-40 year old cropped scan that is half-assly in his favor. Phuck the multiple scans we've posted.

*wonders how he will work Superman into this side of the argument..?*
