Ah yes, a planet-busting super god vs. a regular dude who needs prep for pretty much everything. What's that, you say OP?

I dunno. Maybe Constantine is even more uber than I realize. Someone more familiar with him will have to chime in. This reeks of a stomp to me, though.

If superman uses his ftl movement speed he wins this. If he doesn't and fights him like this is a joke, constantine has a pretty good chance against him. Go to Constantine's respect thread if you really want to see his crazier feats.

I've been there, it's really good. But a lot of times it's hard to know exactly how much (if any) prep went into a feat, when it's removed of its context. I don't want to overstep my bounds of knowledge.

One of those rare occasions we agree. Without Prep (at least a little) con John is screwed. If he didn't have a chance to at least put a mystic spell of protection around him what is stopping Supe's from tearing him a new one??

Why does he need to use his speed here? He could clap his hands in John's general direction and KO him.

My question would be..has John ever even been shown to put a mystic spell of protection on himself that is strong enough to protect him from someone strong enough to bench press a planet?

Superman wins.

If Superman speedblitzes immediately, he wins. If Constantine has enough time to utter even a single word, he wins.

What scenario can you see happening?

I'd say the latter is the most likely of the two.

Galan007
Originally posted by carver9

Constantine dropping superman that easily? Never gonna happen in a comic.

The versus forum isn't a comic. wink

Prof. T.C McAbe
In a Forum fight Superman would go for the speedblitz. 10/10

Galan007
CIS still applies, so no, he wouldn't.

...Unless you can provide scans of Superman speedblitzing his opponents in 100% of the battles he's been in, of course. smile

CIS still applies so Constantine dropping Supes with one word is as legit as Superman blitzing someone he knows from the start, unless you can provide Constatine dropping his opponents in 100% of the battls he's been in, of course.

Superman wins 10/10. Galan exposed as another Fanboy 10/10. Today is my day.

You certainly said that Constantine can and will drop superman with a single word.

Going with you CIS argument that Supes won't blitz from the go, it leaves only one conclusion.

Why so offensive? You went full retard with your 100% statement, being made fun because of it shouldn't be something new to you. You are well known for you phucking double standard and blind fanboyism. Accept it.

You still get a dur for the retardness of your posts here. ^^

You still get a dur for the retardness of your posts here. ^^ You said that in a forum fight, Superman would blitz Constantine 10/10. I felt the need to correct this laughably faulty logic, because CIS still applies--and anyone who is familiar with Superman on even a remedial level knows that it is absolutely not in character for him to run around speedblitzing every opponent he ever faces... Just like Constantine doesn't run around killing all of his opponents with a single word 10/10... They just don't. However, this certainly doesn't imply that I think Constantine wins "10/10", like you egregiously tried saying.

It is amazing that you cannot simply admit that you were wrong with your presumptions, and move on. Instead, you continue to make yourself look like a childish idiot.

Galan007

Imo, it really comes down to whether or not they know who they'll be facing prior to the battle commencing. If they have this preexisting knowledge, then Superman is more likely to attempt a blitz right away. If they don't have this knowledge and go into the battle 'blind', then the circumstances would favor John moreso.

Dunno who wins. I certainly don't think it's a cut-and-dry battle either way, though. /shrug

You didn't answer my question though. Is it really in character for John to throw such powerful spells against heroes right from the start? Because from what I've read, he isn't that much of a bastard.

John dead fished Frankenstein with a few syllables, and Frank is a lot more resilient to magic than Kal. Like others have said, this type of thing basically makes this fight a quick draw.

beatboks
Also on the whole "depends on if Superman knows who he's facing" argument. Has something happened to relieve Suoes of his suoer senses? Doesnt he have super visiin, super hearing? Doesnt he know John constsntine and what he's capable of? Can someone tell me how Suoes would not sense John tense etc when he sees him and know that hes planning to face him. Not hear him start to speak. What likelihood is there in a forum fight that he would allow him to finish that word??

Just out of curiosity, who did John Constantine drop, with a single word, that was on the level of Superman?

Yeah, that's a protection spell, but not exactly of the nature I was asking. In other words, that tells us nothing of the amount of damage John could soak up with a spell.

No idea how powerful Omac is, but did Shazam or Diana actually fight..well, intelligently? As in, not forgetting their powers?



If he's immune to high level magics how is John Constantine doing anything to him? Why'd they make him into Dr. Fate for no reason? Wait is Dr. Fate dead?

Most of those aren't exactly on the spot, ready to use spells.

Now you guys are just nitpicking. You asked who John has owned with a word, and I provided a canon example of him doing so. The fact that he did so to a character whose primary 'power' is being immune to most forces is just an added bonus. thumb up

Not only that, but in one of those two examples, constantine generates a shield that briefly keeps Blight from attacking him.

I still havent seen anything that answers my question.
unless we're treating Superman like a comolete idiot there is now way he wont see or detect Consantine with his senses and because he knows what he is capable of prevent him from saying a word.

Does anyone here doubt that Supes can move fast en I ugh to take John out before he speaks. I'm not talking about how mm often he uses it in story for plot, but capability. Does anyine question that he was nows what john is capable of? The answer to both is yes. Therefore without prep John cant take a majority, its that simple.

Con John is a favorite character of mine from Vertigo, I'm the first to admit the Nu52 powered up version shits me more than a little because it wasnt necessary, but there is no way he can beat Supes in an impromptu encounter because of senses and speed. With prep, another story.

Another thing to take into account, is that APPARENTLY, John has already been prepping for most threats (like a magical Batman)...so whilst he may not have specifically preppped for this fight (as OP says), he at least has some kind of plan:

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11112/111123610/3338033-new+52-+contingency+plan.jpg

As for ending things with a word:

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11/113883/3153918-let+go2.jpg


But yes, IF Superman speedblitzes off the bat, he wins. IF Constantine gets to say a word, he wins.

Am repeating Galan, obviously, but people are not focussing on 'IF' being the operative word here....

Supermex
Let say John is able to gets off one word... What would one word do to Superman?

What would one word do that some say it give John the win?
