The following Characters stand beside the bomb, eating icecream.

Captain America (Yes, with his shield)
Deathstroke
Wolverine
Black Panther
Thing
Colossus
Savage Hulk
Wonder Woman
Superman/Thor.

What happens to each of them?

Round 2.

100 Tsar Bombae

Same list, who manages to go unharmed?

Average showings, let's try not to high or lowball too hard. awesome

Savage Hulk tanks it.

This bomb split planet Sakaar apart (planet 3 times the size of Earth).

Thor and Supes clear both. Not saying they are fine. But they live.
Hulk has the potential to if angry but at base gets koed at worse by the first andnprobably vaporised in the second. If he was amped up some (gotten a little more angry) he would clear this with the first two.

Thing and Colossus MIGHT survive the first. Doubtful though. Diana can probably take the first and dies on the second one.

Captain America easily swallows 100000 bombs like this and then spits outs Democracy. America force >>>> soviet bombs

Not sure why the rest of these guys are even here

Lets add this to it as well.

Indestructible Hulk Annual #1

Hulk shrugs off being at ground zero of an explosion which apparently completely destroys a decent-sized island. Hulk is blown 630 miles away by the blast but is apparently awake and active when he lands.

Hulk states he will be just fine after being hit by this. And he tanks it but it does burn all of his hair off .

Thats who Im assuming he was using since he put him under Diana. I was thinking the weakest version of the Hulk

When was Hulk only at 100 tons? Even during his Classic era.? Do you have scans proving this case because to my knowledge, a calm Hulk held up a mountain twice the size of the Appalachians.

But people should read up on this bomb. Put comics to the side for a second. The fact that they dropped this on the planet is ****ing insane.

Which bomb?

It used to be that at base. Hulk was supposedbly at 100 tons and as he got angry he got stronger. But it never made since because he would immediately jump to lifting billions of tons. If you look at the way he made the order you would see where I was coming from.

PreDCNu Superman survived supernova level explosions. Supernovas>>>>>>>>>nukes. Even uber ones from Mother Russia!

Well I dont understand why half of the people are even on here. I mean Deathstroke? Black Panther? Maybe if he let the Hulk swallow him.

Well its freakin Cap. The dude wades through and flips around herald/trans level battles. For some reason galaxy spanning empires that have been around a billion years put theyre entire race and fleets at his sole command and discretion.

Wolverine has taken a couple. He was shown as being present in Hiroshima when the bomb went off (no, not just in the shitty movie either) and I am pretty sure he took one in a Wolverine vs Venom mini but my memory might be off. He also took one as Deathverine no problem (wasn't even KO'd IIRC). Obviously Logan doesn't tank nukes in the same way as the top tier guys do so it depends on how crazy the writers are feeling about his healing factor.

Wonder Woman has a fairly ambiguous nuke surviving feat from just prior to the reboot. She punched an ICBM in space and it exploded - technically speaking that wouldn't have made the warhead detonate and the art didn't do it much justice but the way the scene was written it seemed pretty clear the writer was going for a nuclear explosion.

The savage Hulk (as I'm sure you are aware) has a ton of nuke and nuke+ showings, most of them not even resulting in a KO. He took a "high megaton" nuke in a completely calm state (although I think the huge emphasis placed on Hulk being calm by a lot of people on the internet isn't really born out in any actual comic showings but still) in Incredible Hulk Annual #6. The explosion blew him across hundreds of miles of ocean but he was fine when he landed. In Incredible Hulk #174-#175 he also was completely unharmed by an explosion that was very explicitly bigger than any nuke ever detonated (and these issues were published 15 years after the Tsar Bomb was tested). Hulk was literally bear-hugging the source of the explosion when it went off, and endured atmospheric reentry immediately after and being spiked into a mountain by Black Bolt as he neared landing. He was conscious and fine at the end of it all, so yeah, Hulk would take the Tsar Bomb too - and that's without dipping into the numerous nuke and nuke+ feats the gravage Hulk amassed in the Pak era and after.

Superman probably has the most showings and best record against nukes of any character in comics. Even Byrne has him able to take a 40-megaton nuke to the face, although he was KO'd in that instance. Prior to the reboot he had laughed off nukes more times than is worth counting, they just weren't a legitimate threat to him. Waverider claimed Superman shrugged off an explosion equivalent to a *million* nukes in Hunter/Prey without being KO'd (it's possible, maybe even probable, that he was exaggerrating somewhat, but the general point should be clear enough).


Cheers.

Do you have scans of the wave rider showing?

I think some people are thinking 'hiroshima' when the word 'nuke' comes up. Tsar Bomba is... Exceptional. It's basically insane this thing was ever detonated. Tanking a nuke is one thing, this thing is several orders of magnitude above your standard nuke.

But yeah, I do know a lot of these characters have showings above it, but also beneath. Curious what the general concensus would be. mmm

Also, I was thinking Hulk more at the level he was at when he encountered Proxima.

Anyone who survived a planet explosion can tank billions of nuclear bombs at same time, without any problems.

That's why I said SM/Thor/Hulk survive. Everyone else is deadski.

I never doubted some would clear. Humanity is capable of wiping itself out, but we've not even come close to something that could say, crack the Earth in half. mmm

It's more about getting a spectrum.

Byrne Superman survived the explosion of krypton under red sun and kryptonite radiation.

It's the same Hulk as in recent times. And he could tank the Tsar Bomba as easily as any of his other nuke-tanking incarnations.

Classic Savage Hulk's hard durability is noticeably greater then Wonder Woman's. He's on the same level as Superman/Silver Surfer imo.

His high end durability feats might be comparable but his durability is weaker on average to Superman(maybe comparable to Byrne age Superman) and Surfer.

But ya lol at anyone thinking he dies form Nukes.

Hulk is durable, not at superman's level of durability though.

Savage Hulk would get pierced first before Surfer or Superman, and even Thor. Damage soak is another story though.

It is not.

Superman survived the equivalent of thousands of nuclear explosions in H/P

He's also survived in stars, which are who knows how many magnitudes of power above the Tsar Bomba (could look it up, but I'm lazy)

He's survived supernovas, etc.

He definitely clears this.

If we go by what superman has endured, he probably wouldn't even feel it. The guy has laughed off a nuke standing on an island full of kryptonite FFS.

We know him hulk and thor and captain america clear it. Can a case me made for Diana, Thing or Colossus?

I don't know how nuclear radiation would affect DCnU Diana. Pre-reboot Diana could probably tank it. Thing definitely tanks it, based on some of his higher end energy/heat resistance feats. He won't be affected by the radioactive fallout either. Same goes for Colossus imo, although I am not 100% sure about him.

Colossus might die by a nuke, same as Thing. Colossus was ****ed up by Pyro and Pete Wisdom's knives. Diana would most likely survive too though her durability fluctuates too much.

This nuke is a quite a bit more powerful than average. I dont see them living through 100 though. Maybe Diana as she is somewhat seen as Supermans peer. I mean I know he is above her but he shouldnt be that far above her.

Superman is far above wonder woman in durability. He has shrugged off attacks without any scratch which have nearly killed her.

During the KING OF THE WORLD storyline, he was up and fighting Dominus despite being smack dab in the middle of radiation levels(from various different experiments and productions of synthetic Kryptonite, so it must have had at least some weakening effect) that were so high, it was deadly for Diana and J'onn for an hour.

The explosion knocked out Wonder Woman for an hour when she was far away from the explosion while superman woke up immediately after that. Here is the explosion.

It's true, but everyone seems to agree that Superman makes it through unscathed already. Where's the Wonder Woman love? uhuh

And yet.....Diana and J'onn are argued to be his peers, or superiors by some people.

Surviving the Tsar bomb is nothing compared to what some characters have gone through. Anyone with mid atom-level durability or higher could handle it.

These should also always be kept in mind (imho) when considering explosion-surviving feats:

1) Unless the character has wrapped themselves around the device, when it goes off, the character's body will catch only a fraction of the total released energy. Most of it will radiate away in other directions, where the character's body isn't.

This holds more and more true the larger whatever's exploding. If a superhero's body catches and survives, say, 1/6 the explosive power of the Tsar bomb, that same body may only catch 1/billionth the total energy of, eg, a supernova.

2) Explosive power is fleeting, and this makes a huge difference when surviving something, as opposed to ongoing exposure. This is why actual, real people can survive lightning strikes, though the power of a typical bolt is >100gW and is 10x hotter than the surface of the sun.

The above is in contrast to, say, surviving the core of a star. There, the energy is all around you and unrelenting.

Think writers look at things different when it comes to swimming in stars vs tanking a Nuclear explosion.

Yes. The swimming in stars is by far the more impressive of the two, unless the writers are idiots.

Oh, I agree with you buddy but writers don't look at it like that. People that has flown through stars shouldn't even feel as punch from Thanos or whoever but guess what, they do. Hell, Terrax has survived in a Black hole in a weakened state but has been owned by far less. Writers doesn't look at things like we do.

Colosuss surivied a reentry recently with no scratch, so I'm pretty sure Colossus is tougher then the days he was fighting Pyro. I don't think Colossus has tanked any of the caliber of Tsar Bomba those. Thing should die too I guess.

Wolverine might have chance because he surivived nukes before by healing. Not as powerful as Tsar Bomba is, but you know how marvel writers want to dickride Logan.

pre-nu52 Wonder Woman should be able tank radiation, since IIRC She did withstand nuclear plant radiation, or being next to the sun during Beserker Superman vs WW feat, or withstanding a reentry. There is the possibility that her bracelet might take a chunk of the force away from her. Since Wonder Woman's aegis do have the ability to protect big radius energy/explosions before.
