Or more easily, what class does he fall under?

Rom is making a comeback in comics this summer, this time under IDW instead of Marvel, so this is in recognition of his return.

I have most of the original ROM run in issues. They're so hard to read lol

CosmicComet
As in they are bad, or the font is ageing?

Well, i know he cant beat DCnu Cyborg.
I started that thread last year and ROM got trashed by popular opinion.

CosmicComet
Wow really? Didn't Rom fight Gladiator at one point?

riv6672
I never heard that. If he did i guess it didnt matter. It was all Cyborg.

Can you post a link, riv?

rom was actually very powerful, low herald for sure with a pis-loaded weapon. his weapon should have been capable of pretty easily disrupting cyborg if that fight ever happened. borg could possible hack his armor though but i'd figure the weapon would work faster than a hack. regardless, if most certainly wouldn't or shouldn't have been one-sided. he's a very old character. most likely people don't know what he was capable of. he's gone toe-to-toe with hulk and many other powerful characters.

Neutralizer cut off the Iron Fist.

And Cage hurt himself trying to attack him.

Rom also kicked around The Blob, and even staggered Hulk.

Two lesser Space Knights defeated Terrax.

Pre-Bendispower Cage.

BP Cage is more indestructible than Cap's uru-enhanced shield or Kirbmantium.

yeah, pretty easily. he manhandled colossus at one point to iirc while battling the x-men. his comic was....pretty terrible. the dire wraiths sucked, but they were pretty powerful. rom had some solid showings in his time.

A somewhat related thing:

Big G himself tried to consume the planet and population of Rom's enemy.Failed horribly.

Hit and miss comic for me. Far better at the start, then dropped downhill

The constant stream of crossovers were neat, including Dr. Strange and Zom.

leonidas
yeah, that was hilarious when galactus got his a$$ kicked by the dire wraith homeworld. was it the black sun? those darkwings, or shadowwings or whatever they were called beat g's a$$. lol

the whole series wasn't terrible, but a lot of the stuff was. i think he'd be cool to bring back. they had that spaceknight in annihilators who pwn'd each of them. that was funny....

leonidas
anyway, to answer the question asked--he couldn't handle terrax alone, so he'd likely cap out around the start of the mid herald tier or the upper low herald guys in most cases. his weapon could be pretty hax though so he's sorta tough to place. i think guys like superskrull and ronan would be great fights for him. least imo.

riv6672
Seems reasonable.
