Hm I don't know... Doc was extremely powerful... but so is MM. And which Firestorm do you mean exactly ? There were several.

the thing that realy sucks about firstorms powers is u gotta be smart to use it if ur not ur fycked well dr.manhatten and MM all u do is think it. so this battel is realy between MM and Dr.manhatten dont get me wrong the only way firestorm could be on there level was if he had some one like dr.dooms brain.
i think mm is far more powerful but the dr can see the future so he could see the fight and know the outcome and if he loses he will know why and that knowledge will change the course of the events and he can keep doing that until he sees one with him winning if at all possible and just go from there. i hope that makes sense.
i know dr manhattan can only see events related to him but since he is in the fight he would have been able to see it in the past since its in his future.
why cant he change it? if he looks into the future and sees he will get hit by a bus in 2 min on main street with this new knowledge why would he be unable to stop himself from crossing the road.
he stated himself everything he does is pre determined, and that he doesnt chose to look in the future. He just exists in his future, present, and past all at once.
then why did ozzy use the tachions or whatever to block his precog. if the future is already pre-determined and manhattan cant change it what was ozzy blocking his future seeing for if he cant change it. and jalek i wanted to let u know im asking only to try to figure out how it works not to argue so thanks for the info.
Because he can't see in the future and didn't know it was apart of his.
Manhattan stated on panel that everything he does even his very responses are all pre determined. That is why he is surprised by things he already knows will happen.
