This is the Mera that the forum said could beat Thor, Hulk, even the Avengers vs Superman. Let's use this Mera... https://comicnewbies.com/2017/07/06/mera-vs-the-justice-league/amp/

This is standard Supes, no amp, no bfr. The fight take place in the same area as the scan above. Who wins?

Standard Superman is above Hulk Thor etc in speed.

I know she froze Flash, so there's that.

Link? Outside of this one outlier she does not have the ability to solo an avenger level team. plus there's context to her fight with the league. you'd need an extremely low level Superman to make this non spite

Superman is multiple tiers above Mera. I love her but she stands no chance.

How is he not tiers above her?

If a writer had her bench a mountain with a struggle it would be one of if not the best feats in her life by orders of magnitude.

I asked for a physical feat and you give me hydrokinesis.

(Of which even her best does not approach Superman's average.)

Tenuous A vs B comparisons in comics are often inadmissible. Batman scales to Wonder Woman by your same standards.

Ben Grimm scales to Hulk despite canonically being billions of times weaker. Not valid.

Nothing is stopping an average, massively holding back Superman from accidentally putting her on life support in a forum setting.

Mera throwing even a 10,000 ton sub would be one of the best achievements in her career physically. An ant compares better to Eddie Hall than Mera compares to Supes.

So either it's a low showing for Flash, or you're saying she's faster than Flash.

Hmmm...I think Mera's feat is actually a good discussion point for outlier vs overstated. How much of it is actually outlier and how much of it is simply being overstated? While she's demonstrating some high level things here, the League appears to only want to talk to her. Supes, Diana, and the Lanterns literally never attack. You could argue the Lanterns got pre-empted by Mera, but Jessica's comment about round 2 indicates they weren't fully committed when they went in. Cyborg and Batman would be vulnerable to those things regardless. Flash is....kinda blitzing I guess, but it's debatable how fast he's going.

The comic's presentation doesn't sync up with how it's spun online to me. It feels like the scene emphasizes the League's desire to help her, not fight her. It's like picking up a kid during a tantrum and getting hit by their flailing arms.

Might just be me though.

It's a little bit of both -- although I'd say the outlier part a bit less. Nothing she showed there is an application of raw power that could be considered out of the ordinary, it's just that the application was to show off the versatility. The heroes were obviously going easy on her and wanted to calm and help her, but what we can deduce from that is that:
a). she can use her powers with finesse ;
b). she can use it pretty quick to dehydrate
c). she can use it for BFR

It depends how you're seeing it -- obv most of the Justice League could still solo her if they get serious, but it's a good demonstration of what she can do overall.

No!!!!

As per Carverrules, Superman can't do any of his feats. It must be slow HV, slow enough that Batman can avoid it.

Weak, weak enough that Alfred can tank it.

Anything more, and it's disqualified.

But...you're not going off what was stated. It was stated they were only trying to help Mera. It was stated they didn't want to hurt Ocean Master. On top of that, their actions matched the statements, especially in the case of Supes/Wondy. They literally never even tried attacking her.

You're literally looking at those statements, and going "I want to believe they were trying their hardest even though the actual dialogue and their actions says otherwise."

Wonder Woman had her arms around his neck, hence my comment about snapping his neck, then said she doesn't want to hurt him. Where is the what if scenario? Then she went to save Batman and Orm just attacked her. Your cropped scan cut that out though, so maybe you didn't realize it.

https://postimg.cc/Wddn7wDd

At what point is she fighting him? Then Superman heats up the water, and Orm attacks them while they're doing these other things. These are factually free shots...

Again, I'm asking what exactly are you arguing here? Do you think they wouldn't slap the shit out of either Mera or Ocean Master if they were actually trying?

EcstaticGrace

EcstaticGrace

StyleTime
No, the bubble statement wasn't false. I said it was misleading because 9 panels/ 2 pages isn't a measure of time. I can drop that though to focus this discussion down more.

The other things are true as well, but as I said, you completely threw out context. You accused me of lying when I pointed out the comics explicitly show them not trying to fight. All those other things could be true with the JLA still holding back. They're not mutually exclusive.

This is why I keep asking you to clarify what your claim is. What are you saying here, exactly?

It's not his name that is the problem.

It's that fancy, non-standard iPhone apostrophe that's not considered a standard character by kmc standards (lol, repeated myself so many times).

Since the 2015 server move, KMC hates it. Raz promised to fix it and he never did.

StyleTime
So if Grace doesn't use apostrophe, the quote will work? Or is it just a permanent thing?

I can't quote Phil either, so I guess I always thought it was the special dot in the "i". Didn't know it was any use of the apostrophe.

It's not permanent.

Phil's case is perm, because of his special "i" which happens to be a part of his very username.

Ah, I see.

Cool. Grace stop using that apostrophe, or our longstanding friendship is over. thumb up

StiltmanFTW

EcstaticGrace

StyleTime
Yes...it is. If they're just giving you free shots, there's not much to say. If you stand there talking, and someone randomly swings and KO you, it's not indicative of what would happen in an actual fight.

I didn't mean when Diana restrained him. I'm talking about her going to save Batman, when Orm decides to attack her. You know, a free shot?

https://postimg.cc/Wddn7wDd

There's nothing made up about what's happening there. She was going to save Batman when Orm attacked her. She wasn't fighting back. It's free. This is a fact. Is my scan link not working? Can anyone else see it?

As for Mera holding them. Maybe. Maybe not. We don't know because they weren't fighting back.

Superman is faster than that version of Flash, especially with PC feats in operation.

I'll gladly BZ you.

Rules are that I will use Mera showings from JL 24, as I have been all this while.

Her scalings will be by using other characters. So Barry's highest feats (where he has nigh instant reactions), WWs and Superman's greatest strength feats, and Batman's greatest stealth feats. Also, the Lanterns and their auto shields.

Cyborg will be used too, namely his resistance to BFR.

If you wish to throw down, I'm game.

Edit:. Carver, you didn't reply to my question about Proxima Midnight's spear.

Hello!!!

I'm asking about the speed of her opponent. Surely you can answer this?
