Surfer takes it 10/10 in every battle with the exception of Imperiex, against Imperiex it's 0/10. The main issue being that Imperiex contains and is powered by a Big Bang, which is on a completely different scale than what Surfer has any hopes of dealing with. Galactus would be a better fight for Imperiex.

With the exception of Captain Marvel and Black Adam (who both are too weak to be considered a meaningful threat) the other characters all have notable weaknesses that the Surfer can abuse. The color yellow and blue, technopathy, etc.

Even Robin managed to break Hal Jordan's windpipe (which would've killed him if he didn't recieve emergancy treatment) after painting himself in yellow in All-Star Batman and Robin #9. So that's a very clunky weakness against someone like the Surfer.

Isn't that yellow weakness no longer valid for Hal?

It's a standard weakness for the Lanterns, and as far as I'm aware Hal has not been made exempt from it.

I'm not sure what "bz," means, but I tend to look at these things objectively.

With greater power levels the discrepancies grow, and eventually all you'll get is 0/10:s and 10/10:s.

It was removed back in like 2005. It's a weakness for newbies, but they get training to remove said weakness.

All star batman and Robin is an elseworld and non canon, you dingus.

Your idiocy is really something.

This is what marvel fans have been reduced to on the forum. Citing an elseworld comic.

MrMind
yellow weakness was eliminated way back in 2005 after green lantern rebirth

astner clueless as usual

DarkSaint85
I'm also unsure how the colour blue is a weakness...

I was referring to the color-coded rock-paper-scissors schema introduced in Blackest Night. I thought you'd be aware of it.

Either way, looking back at it technically it refers to the Blue Lanterns, not the color blue.

Surfer creates blue Lantern ring from his ass to counter Sinestro with his cosmic awareness?

This is actually a good case.

No, because Yellow Lanterns are weak against the Blue Lantern Corps, not the colour blue. So I was unaware why you were bringing up generic colours.

Edit: so are you admitting you were wrong with Hal and the colour yellow?

You're not fooling anyone.

Originally posted by DarkSaint85

Yes. In the scene qwerty posted, it's made clear that the Lanterns can overcome their weakness by feeling fear and overcoming it.

I checked out the battlezone and it seems to be more about talking shit and stirring up drama than engaging in any meaningful debate, which isn't my thing. So I'll decline that offer.

But you're free to post any of the matches in the Versus forum, and I'll check them out.

I'm not trying to fool anyone. But then, I don't need to convince you or anyone.

So, about that noncanon scan you tried to pass off in this thread.....did you think All Star Batman is canon? Or do you think it's relevant, even without my point that it's no longer a weakness?

No, you are. You're pretending that you knew of this, and you just couldn't make the mental connection with the color blue and the Blue Lanterns.

Yes. But apparently it's part of Millar's canon.

You never substantiated your claim. No reference. No scan. And your particular claim is still not substantiated, the scene Qwerty posted from No Fear is not what you referred to.

DarkSaint85
Sure, if it makes you feel better laughing out loud

Yes, the smiley is deliberate.

So yeah, another point that you're wrong on - it's not canon. It's not even part of the new Multiverse that's just been created. But you referenced it, so that's something I guess....goes to show that just throwing out references willynilly like they mean something is no substitute for actual knowledge.

So to recap:

You're wrong on Hal having a yellow weakness.

You're wrong by using noncanon scans

You're wrong on the generic colour blue being a weakness to Sinestro.

I just like tallying up your wrong points and keeping score to throw back in your face whenever I like. Does it make me a bad debater in your eyes? I don't care, I'll still bring it up and throw it at you.

It's a weakness shared across all of DC, tbf.

This blue vs Blue confusion is confusing.

So are you saying that Surfer can abuse Sinestro's weakness to Blue Lanterns?

Or did you just get the colour and the Lantern Corps confused?

So is that a yes or a no? I'm 100% happy to use Pre Crisis feats, and as I said, that yellow weakness was removed in 2005 (not retconned away, btw - it's called character evolution. Hal DID have the yellow weakness, as did all GLs, but in 2005 they got over it, basically).

So thanks for acknowledging that PC feats count.
