authority, apollo jack and jenny are too much for team 2

Sparks against BB would be fun. Electron manipulation against...well, surely Jenny does the same, right? Plus, Hawksmoor can amp her.

It's Hawksmoor against the rest that is the real fight. He could phase all of them into the ground a la Shadowcat.

Crystal's powers also give her molecular control over the city

Not quite the 'god of cities' that Hawksmoor is, but she still lifted the city of Attilan

And is otherwise mostly just limited by her creativity here

Alternatively, she can join in the electric manip

Yeah, but it's not *quite* the same, I feel.

So for example, Crystal fires a lightning bolt at them. Jack could.....change the amps/volts/whatever, to a harmless charge. Same with her fire etc. Whatever she shoots, he can negate.

Within the city, he's basically a reality warper. In Tokyo, he told the city to ramp it's electric charge up, and in another city, he told it to change its density, change its gravity etc. He rewrites laws of physics in a city.

Even her geo and ferro kinesis would be countered on the same basis, is Jack just tells the city to change their physical properties..

Smurph

DarkSaint85
He's changed the density of buildings, which imho would negate ferro and geo kinesis, for example. So if Crystal hurls boulders (as an example) he could make them less dense.

I am also curious the extent of his powers - if Crystal makes golems out of the rocks (as an example), could he just tell the rocks to not obey her?

Edit: because this thread needs scans, otherwise it returns to the golden age of 'trust me, bro!' KMC debating...

Jack controlling the density of buildings:

So in that scan - if he tells the buildings/materials around Crystal to ignore her (just as he tells the rivets not to blow), then.....would they not? I assume not, considering in the scan they are ignoring fundamental physical laws, lol.

As for razing NYC:

how can black bolt solo when apollo is more powerful

Smurph
lol nah

Karnak vs. Midnighter would be hilarious to read.

Philosophía
It feels like the Authority is relying a lot on Hawksmoor playing it safe for everybody, while the Inhumans team doesn't have that overreliance on Black Bolt -- though they kind of have to, since BB can just open his mouth and possibly end those that don't leave through Doors beforehand. Apollo hasn't impressed me terribly, so I wouldn't say he'd be a terrific help/backup in case things go haywire -- Lockjaw I'd say is, funnily enough, stronger and more versatile than him.

I feel Crystal can handle Jenny with abilities to spare. I don't think it'd be a good idea for her to turn into the electricity form against her for one:

And of course - Crystal has a shitload of other things going for her, including blowing people up from inside their bodies, blowing up heads with seismic waves --- and essentially controlling the environment in totality for miles. The latter treads into Hawksmoor territory , but it's worth noting the range she operates at where she's in multiple enemies' area of powers.

That being said -- she is kind of a glass chin, so she can be KOd. If that happens, it spells trouble for the Inhumans. But, she has good defenses, too:

And of course, her elemental control is stronger than Gladiator

shifty

Meanwhile, Karnak and Midnighter are starting to fight, praying the others don't notice they're on the field. Gorgon stomps his foot and tickles Hawksmoor's balls. Swift gets into a hairy situation with Medusa. But none of them really matter that much.

Not sure who wins -- I think the more straightforward the fight is, I'd favor the Inhumans. The more it gets into tourney style where you can mesh their abilities to their peak play station efficiency, the more it favors the Authority.
