Superboy Prime vs Kitty Pride

She gets the jump on him just after dumping a certain person at the altar.

Who wins?

SquallX
The power of the coochie after dumbing a man at the altar is beyond even omnipotent being.

it's an interesting question. at just standard levels, i don't think he'd be able to punch her. i think she would likely phase him into the ground, but that wouldn't do much more than pi$$ him off. he'd break free then have to do some fanfic attack to hit her. could be some sort of energy attack maybe? or maybe his rage fuels a punch that can hit or affect her somehow? not sure tbh, unless he has a feat of hitting someone/something intangible? and not just dimensional walls...

qwertyuiop1998
Didnt she once say she is more susceptible to sonic attack iirc?So maybe SBP can just roar really loud?

He didn't say she starts off phased, though.

Even getting the jump on him doesn't negate the rule of."active powers off", got to be explicit with that stuff.

cdtm
But even if she starts off phased, I think he can punch her.


He literally punched his way out of the Phantom Zone. He should have been a Phantom himself.

leonidas
i assume the spirit of the thread would dictate she starts phased.... and unless there is proof that he has hit someone who is intangible while he's in a physical state, i'm not sure how he would hit her any better than anyone else can. the use of sound is possible i guess. i'm sure there are some ways, i just don't see punching her as being the best way--unless again he has done it and i don't recall it.

When has she shrugged off cold?

Plus sonics, light still affects her (Super skrull blinded her), and last I saw when she was with Star-Lord, she still needed to breathe...

She also struggled with ultra dense materials.


And SBP is pretty dense.

Given the nature of her power its your burden of responsibility to prove that cold affects her.

But Leo seems to think Iceman managed it, but then his temperature manipulation is atomic level so is a lot more intricate than a macro cold breath attack in her nearby vicinity lol

Sonics could effect her and light for sure. She can breathe through solid matter now. Her need to hold her breath whilst phasing was phased out eek!

I don't think Kitty can even touch Prime if he decides to go intangible.

She can't breathe in space, for example.

Cool. So Prime would basically have to smash the planet or as Squall said burn up the atmosphere.

Theres no doubt that Prime would win in this scenario (mine said indestructible planet) but it does serve to highlight the limits of his powerset.

Mission accomplished wink

He has whatever powers he needs for the plot, you want reality warped use Prime, You want a guy to survive a universal blast use prime. Escape the speed force Prime. Absorb a guardian Prime, turn Myx into a ***** or defeat DK use Prime. He is a no limits fallacy.

DarkSaint85
Or just fly very fast and create a vacuum.

Now what if he was dealing with intangible entities who didnt need to breathe?

Interesting smile

Are you joking? Did you just claimed Prime has a limited powerset?

leonidas
@squall--that's a good idea. i have serious doubts prime would think of removing the oxygen via superspeed though. maybe, but he's generally too petulant to think like that in a battle imo.

DarkSaint85
In Death Metal, he's a lot less petulant.

He changes reality by punching things. On top of that he doesnt know how he changes reality, he has no control over its effects, he doesnt know what triggers it.

It has limited offensive capability in general and definitely against someone who his punches cant connect with.

Furthermore his punches connected with Darkest Knight and SBP ended up dead erm

In the big scheme of things he has a very limited power set as opposed to a high level reality warper or cosmic being.

Hes a brick with a randomly triggered, uncontrolled retcon punch smile

He surprised me to.

Go on Squall with your bad self wink

DarkSaint85
Didn't he break out of the Speed Force by punching? With enough finesse to arrive back a week or so after he originally got trapped?

Bentley
I also don't believe Prime would bust the atmosphere as a tactical movement, maybe by accident lol

Also: I thought Kitty phased a giant space bullet and was in space for months, how did she breath there? Real question

She did, and the whole breathing thing, iirc, is as inconsistent post-Claremont as any other X-Men character's powers. Hell, just a while back we were arguing about whether she would still have that power boost she got.

Stilt would be better caught up with it than me though, so he'd have more insights as to whether her breathing issues are still a thing.

The breathing thing kind of went out the window during her Astonishing arc, you know, flying a phased alien bullet into space for years. Then she came back and couldn't un-phase. I find she can stay phased as long as she pleases in X-Books over the last decade and a half, the breathing only showing up in crossover material for plot reasons.

Sonics work IIRC. Only thing that comes to mind off the top of my head is her getting downed by a WWH thunderclap, but I feel like I've seen other instances.

As for cold, it stands to reason that she should be immune to all temperatures while phased. She's gone through lava, lasers, Omega Sentinal blasts. Now Bobby is a different story, he has more potential to control her molecules than vice-versa. The vague nonsensical description of her powers has always been that she pushes her molecules through the gaps in matter and (to varying degrees) energy, but any powerful telekinetic, matter manipulator, etc. can just "grab her by the atomic structure." In Bobby's case, should be able to slow them regardless of her phase state.

she's also been in space without trouble--tangentially showing cold can be ineffective, as well as radiation. but yeah, depending on HOW bobby used his powers, he SHOULD be able to affect her though by getting a little exotic. his usual tricks just pass through her though.

DarkSaint85
Green Lanterns have also been in space, showing cold is ineffective on them.

SBP still froze them and smashed through them, though.

I am also interested in how Kitty would do when trying to phase against him. We know dense materials give her a lot of trouble - when Thane encased her in amber, it was pretty dense and she was left gasping for air:

https://i.postimg.cc/T1Czcj08/RCO091-1559190666.jpg

The thing with Kryptonian super breath, or at least Superman's, is that in DC, EVERYTHING, even intangible phased beings who split molecules, are still made of particles that are subject to being affected by freeze breath.

DarkSaint85
Then we have the time Shaw killed her. Does anyone know (honest q) why she didn't just phase out?

https://i.postimg.cc/02X9n15B/RCO025-1579801489.jpg

Or just not breathe? As far as I can tell, those Krakoan vines he used were nothing special.....they grew really quickly but that's it.

A severely weakened Anti-monitor that had been attacked by the Guardians en masse and had a yellow power battery detonated in his vicinity. Lets not conveniently leave out context especially when it makes all the difference wink

So we have two things SBP can do. She still needs to breathe, it would appear, from the latest comics, and we are debating a 4th method, freeze breath.

Now we know she still has molecules, even when intangible - her phasing (IIRC) is just her sliding her molecules between the molecules of whatever she is phasing through.

In short, she still has molecules to affect. Which freeze breath certainly works on. Leo just doesn't remember him killing the GLs because he is old.

Obviously the old superspeed vortex would remove her breathable air, creating a vacuum. How much mass does she have phasing remember, he has microscopic vision and heat vision.

But didn't Prime escape from the Speed Force, with enough precision to only arrive back a week after he left? That's...pretty good going in terms of just 'punching things'.

He also escaped from the Phantom Zone, through punching, which is.....precisely what he wanted to do, and was able to control that.

I wouldn't say using HV and cold breath, or simply just shouting (lol) as 'exotic' applications of the Kryptonian powerset. I mean, it isn't as if we are arguing he uses his HV to create antiparticle/particle pairs or cancel vibrations with a whistle or anything 'exotic' like that.

The superspeed vaccuum is literally just him flying fast, lol. I can achieve the same in my car with the windows down.

Not true. He has to make a solid connection with something and he doesnt know what hes doing, he is unable to trigger specific intended effects. He just punches and sometimes things happen, sometimes they dont.

To make universal alterations he has only done that whilst punching something thats universally significant

But he broke through the Phantom Zone, which iirc isn't a 'solid' barrier to make a connection with.

Neither is the Speed Force barrier (despite it's name) a 'physical' barrier to make connection with.

Nor is the 5th dimension, when he went to grab Mxy.

Forgive me if im wrong (unlikely) but its never been revealed how SBP broke out of the Speed Force. So asserting that it was by "punching" whilst plausible given how hes written isnt actually a canon fact is it? confused

So its the equivalent of referencing Squirrel Girls defeat of Thanos as a way to amp up her in the hierarchy without actually having a referenceable method/power for how it was done.

Furthermore, as for Superboy Prime breaking out of the Phantom Zone, the Phantom Zone has gone through numerous revisions throughout DC continuity with its appearance and demonstrated characteristics varying throughout.

See this very useful site:

https://ifanboy.com/articles/dc-histories-the-phantom-zone/

In Teen Titans v3 issue 32 a Phantom Zone arrow was used to teleport SBP into the Phantom Zone. Said attack left a breachable viewpoint with physical characteristics through which SBP could see back into normal reality and the heroes could see him.

Note that SBP was able to press his fingers against this physical viewpoint:

https://imgur.com/2AJA2sb

https://imgur.com/YoB5hfk

Through a punch he was then able to shatter it due to its physicality.

SBP is not the only person in DC continuity to be able to breach through such a viewpoint and demonstrate its physicality:

Notice the stretching dimensional membrane as the criminal reaches through

https://imgur.com/a01mx8z

Notice how the struggle between Krypto and the criminals cause the viewpoint to shatter with physicality:

https://imgur.com/KGMoU5e

As demonstrated the Phantom Zone technology creates a two-way viewpoint from which both sides can view each other. A viewpoint with physicality that can and has been breached by Kryptonians other than SBP.

SBP breaching it cannot be argued to be an ability unique to him.

Unfortunately for the fans out there its a rather more grounded and boring explanation. Its just down to the Phantom Zone technology and the physical characteristics of the dimensional viewpoint which allowed this brick to punch through.

Case dismissed.

Ive just proved conclusively that the Phantom Zone tech creates a viewpoint with demonstrated physicality.

Ive proved conclusively that it can and has been breached by other characters.


Its your burden of responsibility to prove that without that portal viewpoint, if after he was sent to the Phantom Zone the portal just closed behind him and he was out of sight, that he couldve punched his way back.

All you proved in the scan with SBP was that he could physically press his fingers against it.

But back to the thread at hand. What's stopping SBP from simply....hovering 10m above the ground lol. Kitty would NEVER be able to reach him laughing out loud

Kitty is lighter then air because she can "phase" through it, effectively flying.



I'm making that up, but I just know someone will bring up a bs application.


*One google search later*

Well shit.


You'd think she'd drop like a stone, instead of flying up. Or just float in place, if she phases through all physical forces of the universe.


And how does she even breath?

Did you answer who won in this thread?

If you have not, then tell us who you think wins? Simple question, Prime or kitty?

Always thought he had to punch something "solid" or "punchable". Not sure how he got out of speed force, but most likely he punched something based on the other times he's escaped a place.
I dont think he just punches air to effect change, be it escaping a dimension or affecting reality.

But only he did was punch and he broke through the 5th dimension

Which....I mean, we all agreed on that he could physically touch it. That's how he punched out of it.

We all agreed that he could touch it? Please reconcile that with your previous comment "But he broke through the Phantom Zone, which iirc isn't a 'solid' barrier to make a connection with." confused

As for Mxy. That incident shows that Superboy was responsible for abducting Mxy but never gave confirmation of how. So without knowing how whilst we can theorize, we cant assert a particular method as canon.

But given hes known for punching till he gets what he wants, that would be a believable interpretation. smile

So its confirmed on panel that SBP was able to access the 5th dimension via the Guardian powerup:

Your claim was Kitty cant reach SBP if hes 10metres above her.

You were incorrect.

You dont have the foresight or grasp of the bigger picture to set traps.

The debunking of your assertion had you scrambling around the internet looking up Kittys powers. laughing

That doesnt reconcile it at all as your point was with regards to the Phantom Zone. I debunked that.

With regards to the 5th dimension that was achieved through his Guardian powerup as stated on panel.

Versions of Superman can punch anything. That's pretty much his thing. I know it sounds like a no-limits fallacy, but DC did it first so why ****ing not.

I talked about and referenced the Storm scan nearly a year ago:

So as OP said Superman is allowed to defend himself, no, she can't.

I know a lot about Shadowcat and what defeats her, lol no scrambling needed.

Yet another point of yours, debunked.

And I clearly knew about how she walks on air, lol - your problem is KMC's search function, which is not your friend laughing out loud

Let me ask the handsomest, smartest poster how Kitty walks on air:

and yet this "trap" hasnt helped your overall case at all or stopped me from highlighting the limits of Superboy Primes powerset in comparison to top tier entities.

Lightning is physical.

If it hits a suitably non conductive element it will just impact instead of being conducted.

I guess Kryptonians are non conductive bricks then. smile

It's still stupid that he's punching lightning the way he did.

Not Kryptonians, though. Superman. Superman isn't an average Kryptonian. Superman (and his versions) is whatever DC wants him to be. Which means if he (or Prime or Earth 2 or whatever) wanted to, he'd just pull some vibration bullshit or freeze breath trick out of his hat and Kitty would be screwed.

Maybe in the comics, but we're debating canon/demonstrated abilities here so this medium avoids such nonsense fortunately.

If DC hadn't infested the comics with that kind of shit, I'd agree with you.

KC Superman punched magical lightning, forcing it to arc and stirke Gog in the shoulder.

Superboy Prime seems to just punch his way out of everything, no matter what it's made of or what it is.

Normal Superman... I'm not even going to start with him because it's a nightmare.

I'm not saying that he's guaranteed to figure out a way to hurt Kitty. What I am saying, is that trying to classify Superman's powers and the applications of them is a fool's errand. He's too ridiculous.

Yep, use a low showing for Prime to downplay him.

Prime has had 3 low showings in his post Crisis reintroduction.
1. Not killing Conner and Krypto
2. Losing to the Titans brand to the ending of Post Crisis and beginning of the New 52.
3. Losing to Shazam and Adam.

Know what, I take #3 back. This Shazam if he is still the same Shazam from JL, he was powered up by atelast Trans level being. This. Shazam if they are still the same defeated Yuga Khan of all people by himself.

So congrats.

Yup.

A lack of objectivity is what would be beneath me.

As it stands it doesnt matter if writers have a tendency for making Superboy do increasingly loony things. We cannot take that precedent and then enshrine him in a no limits fallacy. Thats not how it works here.

In the forum we discuss a hypothetical battle between characters considering canon established feats and powerset only whilst removing PIS as a factor. When he does a crazy feat, we discuss said crazy feat. We dont make him unlimited because of your opinion on how far writers are willing to go with him in future unpublished stories. That fallacy is something thats beneath you erm

I didn't say he's unlimited, though. I said DC has ****ed with the character(s) enough that trying to classify them is pointless. You're trying to shove a square peg in to a round hole.

You're the one that said limited brick, not me, remember?

Regardless of the writers treatment of the character we still have canon, demonstrated feats and exploitable weaknesses to work with so writer lunacy is thankfully a non factor here.

Youve taken my comment about him being a brick completely out of context. In comparison to the kind of characters the more fanatical on here are asserting he's greater than, characters with energy, matter, chronal and reality manipulation at their disposal, SBP is a brick comparatively. There are no two ways about it smile

It's not a non-factor when it's been introduced in to the comics themselves. That's all I've been trying to say. DC has abandoned any pretense of Superman characters being tough, strong heralds. He's basically a joke character now.

Maybe your context should have been better, then. hmph

But yes, people tend to ignore the more abstract characters when talking about power because threads containing them tend to be pointless.
