Name that DC counter part so I can understand better
Ok ON these forums, it seems like there are some characters in the MU that just defy logic as to why everyone thinks they just win no matter what. The general forum feeling is that Marvel and DC are pretty much equal. But i'm not Feeling that at all. So I'm going to name Some Marvel characters and I want you guys to tell me who from DC is thier closest Counter part in power lvl,skills,and brains, That would MATCH them 5/10 or even a little better in a fight. This is so I'll know if my thinking is wrong, and to also challenge you all to do your homework on DC so it won't seem like certain characters just get auto wins here.

Re: Re: Name that DC counter part so I can understand better
Be serious. Cuz I need to know. It seems like people dont' know enough about DC to even give good sound judgements. SO I wanna see if people know or are they just giving auto wins to these characters that they know better.
Re: Name that DC counter part so I can understand better
The problem is that DC doesn't necessarily HAVE a counter part for all these characters. By the same token, Marvel doesn't have a counterpart for every DC character. But here's my closest estimation...
Thor-Shazam or Wonder Woman
Odin-There's not really one, I would place Odin somewhere between Highfather and Takion
Silver Surfer- Hal is the closest one, but Surfer would take the majority, on the other hand, Ion or Parallax would definitely take the majority over Surfer
Thanos-Darkseid is in the same ballpark, but both of there power levels fluctuate depending on the writer, so it's hard to accurately determine who's more powerful overall.
Insane Genis Vell-I think Parallax would be the closest thing to a counterpart.
Sentry-Duh. Supes
Sersi-I don't really think there's a counterpart for her
Galactus-I don't really think there's a counterpart for him either
Warlock-The problem with Warlock, is that he's a powerful character, with an ULTRA powerful weapon. So I don't think there's a good match for him, because he's got a one hit kill attack.
Quasar- Gl Kyle(no Ion powers)
Wolverine- He doesn't really have a counter part either, because he's basically a mid level, who's power set let's him hang with high level heroes(for a while at least), but he still has problems with some street level guys.
darkseid is definetly above thanos
and genis vel is nowhere to parallax
there is also a dc odin i think he around marvel odin
galactus -imperiex
warlock - mordru

Re: Re: Name that DC counter part so I can understand better
I have always Thought Of WW as Thor's counter part. Maybe CM but he doesn't really have a Godly aura abouthim. Orion is a bit more powerful than Thor but he's pretty close to Thor's role.
DC Odin is the same as Marvel Odin. Or maybe DC Zeus as he seems to be the premier Sky father of DC.
Despero is the closest I can think of to Thanos. maybe Hank Henshaw.
Takion is likely Insane Genis vells Counterpart.
Maxima is most def Sersi's match
Galactus is prolly matched by The quantum Zealot or The over Master.
Warlock's match is easily Metron. Metron is as smart as worlock and has the mother box to match the soul gem. and the grandmother box as well as the worlogog. But those dont' count since he rarely uses them.
ur right about quasar's match
Deathstroke is Wolvies match easily.
The Silver Surfer is matched by Wave Rider ,Auron, Insane Light ray or Firestorm Elemental.
of course I could be wrong and am over rating the characters.

Re: Re: Name that DC counter part so I can understand better
Sounds pretty accurate, save Thor and Parallax. I don't know who would be a DC counter part to Thor. He is often portrayed as a top-tier brick, but he has shown damn near as many powers as a Lantern, or a Herald. He has WAY too much versatility to be compared to Shazam or Wonder Woman.
Besides that? Yeah...
Odin - Highfather.
Surfer - somewhere between taking a majority over hal, and having a majority taken from him by Ion/Parallax.
Thanos - Darkseid.
Genis - Parallax seems on the same level as far as the story/personality, but definitely not power. As others mentioned, Parallax was a multiversal threat, while Genis only unmade/remade universes. :-/. As was mentioned, a full potential Captain Atom seems right around here.
Sentry - Superman, without as many out-the-ass powers, but with his 'photokinesis'
Sersi - Maxima.
Galactus - Imperiex, though, isn't Imperiex portrayed as MUCH less of a Jobber than Galactus? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else...
Warlock - Mordru? Perhaps Mordru's magic seems much more plot-devicey than Warlock, though.
Quasar - a top Green Lantern (Hal, Kyle, etc.)
Wolverine - Hmmm? Besides the Spectre? I can't really think of anyone who's powers are martial arts and healing. Plenty of DC characters have EITHER, but no one who has BOTH comes to mind.
Maybe Azrael - he has the skill, claws, and an enhanced physiology...
And, as mentioned, I can't think of anyone for Thor.
There's literally NO WAY that Darkseid is DEFINITELY above Thanos. The reason for this is because it's IMPOSSIBLE to determine which of Darkseids showings are ACTUALLY him, and which are avatars. Darkseid fans have this bad habit of assuming that every fight that Darkseid looks good in, is the real him, and every fight where he has a hard time with someone, is an avatar. But think about this, Orion is destined to take him out, so he can't be as unbeatable as everyone makes him out to be.
That's actually very possible, I don't know much about either, I was guessing.
Unless I'm mistaken, DC's Odin doesn't have the showings that Marvels does, and given the fact that DC's Thor doesn't look equal to Marvels, it seems more like Marvel Odin would take that fight.
Depends on Big G's power at the time doesn't it?
warlock - mordru [/B][/QUOTE] Don't know the guy.
