Apocalypse vs. Storm
Rutog seems to think Storm is capable of beating Apoc. So Storm is getting her so-called 'full potential' , but only according to what reasonable posters are willing to say, and not Rutog's 'cosmic level' Storm.
Apocalypse is classic incarnation.
Let's get it on. (Digi, leave this one open awhile. We're trying to prove a point and stop Rutog from making anymore of these threads.)

Bigbran, if you honestly believe a word of that horse hocky, then you are not only far more biased against Apocalypse than I thought, you are also an idiot on par with Reggie Hudlin, who I'm almost certain Rutog is, or at least socking for. And frankly, I don't think you're anywhere near that stupid.

What do you have a problem with in my quote, BigBran? I am not saying that Ororo can fight Galactus now. One day, I think she can, however. I think from what has been established about her powers and her potential, she could very realistically be pushed in this direction by a writer if that were his intention. This is backed up by continuity.

this "Full Potential" thing is a bit of a dubious method of argument, imo.
if the character isn't manifesting that level of power in any present time line (alternate universe), nor has access to such power in the present then it just - literally - doesn't exist.
Galactus could potentially eat up the whole universe, wiping out all the Stars that Ororo is so fond of. there'd be no environment left whatsoever.
The Silver Surfer has a portion of Galactus' Power Cosmic, so even he would be more powerful - at "Full Potential" - than a "Full Potential" Storm.
The Incredible Hulk has a universe that he can tap into infinitely, so he positively stomps all over Storm and her godhood. her "million stars" are as nothing compared to his universe. so "Full Potential" Hulk, written that way, would be insanely powerful and superior to Storm.
Magneto could have control over strong and weak magnetism - at "Full Potential" - making him a virtual god of the universe.
none of these characters actually demonstrates such power, though they all have some degree of claim to it (all of them have as much, if not more, of a claim to their "full potentials" as Storm does to hers).
anyway, from what I remember of Apocalypse (ripping the X-Men to shreds in a manner that Magneto would have been impressed with), I'm going to say Apocalypse takes this.
