Who wins?

deathslash
Spectrum wins IMO. She just has too many ways to take Clark down and his most reliable powers (super strength, heat vision, and ice breath) can't effect her.

Superman.

She can give him some lumps and perhaps some bumps, but she shouldn't be able to do anything major.

Absorb her, maybe?

Or the hv hurt intangible Weird.

Or the hv hurt intangible Weird. doubtful of that first one. His absorption of energy is a passive ability. The only time that I recall him doing it non-passively was in TDKR.

His heat vision is only as fast as light though. Monica is also as fast as light and could simply dodge it. Moreover, being intangible and being light are two different things.

Much less versatile electric characters have done it.

Superman wins 6/7 . Superman absorbs her. easily. He's been absorbing energy offensively since Byrne at least.

Nothing Supes does will affect Monica. Even in the '80s, even Zeus was NOT able to affect a non-weakened Monica

https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/14/149643/3509630-av284_18b.jpg

Here's Thor confirming that Monica hurt Zeus more than any mortal has ever done

https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/4/49974/4128935-photzues5.jpg

also Monica can drain way more energy than both Radioactive Man and Solaar combined, those two had zero issues nearly killing Supes in the JLA/Avengers issue, only reason superman survived was because a dying vision supercharged him with the stored solar energies that were in his (vision's) solar energy crystal. Superman got so much supercharged that he wasn't longer effected by what those 2 beings were doing to him. Monica's energy drain>>>>> stored energy that vision used to supercharge Superman, and that was BACK before Monica got perma amped the 2nd time

Comics don't tend to be realistic power set battles. If this were true, there wouldn't really be tiers of characters--everything would be about individual matchups with a lot of rock/paper/scissors.

Superman is on a higher tier than Spectrum, and in a comics fight the writer would probably give him the win somehow. You're right that in theory (unless his HV can affect her) Superman has no way to win. But that is just theory. Hulk would probably find a way to beat her.

what do you mean about the comics part?

SquallX

Baziemarc123
What?

She can even turn into a Neutrino Stream. Remember, Neutrinos are smaller than electrons, IIRC. Also, her energy-based phasing is so high that even Zeus was NOT able to affect her w/ a direct blast (back in the '80s). She went all out against Zeus to the point that she was temporarily unable to use her powers due to exhaustion.

I'm not sure what your question is here, exactly. The entire post you referred to is pretty much about comic book conventions.

Comics tend to have certain conventions. There's a bias towards physical, humanly relatable powers--the stuff of myth and legend. So more exotic and versatile powers tend to be given less credit than they should. Meanwhile, strength and invulnerability/durability/toughness are king. Speed is a physical power, but radically accelerated speed is not the kind of power you saw in ancient mythology much, and for good reason. Despite being an enhancement of an ability all humans possess--like strength and toughness--having such speed is much harder to relate to than being really strong. It makes you less human, in a way.

So comic companies want a hierarchy where certain types of power sets are over-represented at the top levels, and it modifies its reality implicitly to support this hierarchy. Non-flying bricks never get blasted backwards by the recoil of their own punches. Nor are they thrown into orbit in every fight.

Similarly, there's a bias towards having 'interesting' battles that are relatable and can be presented visually in a satisfactory manner given the limits of the medium. Auto-win uses of powers are typically not used as they would make for one-sided, boring fights. Superman might use super speed to get a small edge on a brick without super-speed, but he'll almost never use it decisively. This is mistakenly thought of as CIS or even PIS, but it's neither. It's part of the unwritten conventions of comics.

With even remotely realistic usages of powers, the top levels of the hero hierarchy (such that it is) would be be filled with speedsters, ethereal energy manipulators mages, and psis. I say 'such as it is' because there would be less of a defined hierarchy as far more battles would be extremely one-sided and decided by how certain power sets match up, rather than by raw power. A speedster might beat any being he can touch--and beat it badly. But any being he can't touch probably roasts him. Most fights would end in under a panel.

It's important to rate fights using such conventions IMO. It's all we really have evidence for. Once you start trying to inject more realism than the comics typically do, and in ways they don't typically do so, you go down a rabbit hole. It seems like it would be easier to argue fights using such parameters, but ultimately you tend to find that we lack enough specific data about the powers of participants to decisively argue fights in this way.

Spectrum fries his brain

Baziemarc123
Where's the scan of Supes vibration phasing being greater than someone who can counter temporarl shields?


Where's the scan of Supes detecting a Neutrino steam? Neutrinos are smaller than electrons and Monia efforrtlessly turned into one back in the 80s

Even Thanos wasn't avle to keep Monica from enterting his brain through his eye when using her powers, Thus if Superman can't see Monica, he's not doing anything

Baziemarc123
lmao exactly what I thought

Superman oneshots her with heat vision.

Monica can turn into Neutrino steam which are SMALLER than electrons, he can't use his heat vision if he won't be able to detect or see something that small. so show proof

Superman has looked down to smaller than electrons multiple times. He can even look down to quantum realms.

proof of supes looking down lower than that?

Iron Man did it with the right frequency i.e tech, and his absorption abilities is far more impressive than superman

Baziemarc123
also Iron man used prep, and wanda's magic and Monica still got out of it

Baziemarc123
This is from Ultimates Vol.1 #1 Monica's confirmed to be LIVING EM Energy, thus supes heat vision isn't doing anything to her

Also Superman is still vulnerable to red solar radiation and radiation that matches the EM Frequency of Green Kryptonite, both of which Monica can effortlesstly turn into

Spectrum powerset will be really tough on Supes. He'd have to come up with something unconventional to beat her.

Baziemarc123
she was able to phase through Zeus WHO'S an skyfather lighting bolts via her light image, something she can do against Superman.

Baziemarc123
This is from Ultimates Vol.1 #1 Monica's confirmed to be LIVING EM Energy, HV ain't doing nothing, She's sentinent energy, she has been shown to be absorbed as well as willingly forcing herself in an opponent multiple times and even when she is absorbed she is still conscious

Superman won't even touch her

https://s22.postimg.cc/ga9bkr6x9/image.jpg

so yeah would need to see proof of Superman absorbing sentinent energy aswell. I'll wait

Try again, even while prepped couldn't contain her. you're getting destroyed on here again

and Monica can transmute the energy inside Superman from within Superman

Tiers don't mean a thing at times. Look at the Hulk vs Doc Octopus. There's plenty more where we see lower tiers getting the win over characters that they had no business winning against. Imagine how many High Heralds the Spot could destroy for example. Sometimes power set, or weaponry supersedes the tier gap. Just saying.

lol true

Baziemarc123
Still waiting for proof Superman can detect/ see things smaller than even electrons

abhilegend
Superman still oneshots her with HV.

Baziemarc123
Monica is confirmed living EM energy, his HV would need to be shown of one-shotting SENTIENT living beings

Baziemarc123
and his HT can't hit something it can't see. Monica can go smaller than an electron

Baziemarc123
Monica's recent cosmic awareness can allow her to duplicate red sun radiation and kryptonite. in REAL LIFE, the human body can withstand up to 1,000 Grays worth of Full Body Radiation Exposure IF it's done gradually over the course of months to years. It could NEVER survive a oneshot massive dose of 1,000 Grays or more all at once. It's the same w/ Base Supes. He won't be able to survive a oneshot massive full body exposure dose of Green Kryptonite radiation.

abhilegend
Superman can look down to quantum particles and create enough of them to destroy a barrier not even a black hole could.

https://s15.postimg.cc/wpetd5mfb/image.jpg https://s15.postimg.cc/g1nbanzdj/image.jpg

And Anti particles like that flat out almost killed her.

i've been trying to think of a villain similar to monica that superman has beaten but i'm having a hard time finding anyone. i don't really see her having a sure-fire way of putting him down, but he'd need to use his powers pretty intelligently to take her out. this is a tough one to figure tbh.

He has beaten Lightning Lord in pure electricity form and has beaten several energy beings.

In all honesty HV would be enough to beat her.

Will that happen before or after his brain is turned to mush? Also, in the scan you posted, Swamp thing was still too fast for him to detect.

Adam helped her reach another level of power once he repaired her energized body. Superman wins if he can damage her on a similar level as Proxima was able to. If not, I'm not sure why she couldn't jump into his body and drain his power?
