The X team has strength in numbers, backed by awesome coordination/teamwork, and the homefield advantage.
SS is a fighter, and will either go for Johnny or Thing's powers first... which means Scott gets the first shots off.
Wolverine or Colossus can turn this into a brawl while the others provide range, while Kurt and Hank are back up, retrieval and distractions. I doubt, with Scott, Logan and Piotr targeting him, that SS is going to be able to tag either of the furry blue mutants.
And in order to put Colossus down, he'd have to put all the others down and then take it to a brawl, one on one.
what if ss starts in the air???only knightcrawler could get to him and could he get through his sheilds.either that or he goes supernova, ss aint got any problems with collateral damage.
The Xmen all get there organs melted, i dont wanna here Cyke blasts yada yada - human durability = fail..BIG time, NC plays it smart and stays out of range and Colossus?? What temperatures can he witstand?
Torch with Things durability soloes them, and so will SS imo
Unless SS fights like a complete moron he should win this. Reed's powers would allow him to shrug off everything the team has with the possible exception of Cyclops's optic blast and that's easily countered by IW's forcefields. And SS's antimatter blast should capable of one shotting pretty much everyone on the field except maybe Colossus.
IW could beat this team you named by herself. Skrull has her powers, things, reeds, and johnny's, plus HIS OWN. He's High herald level seriously. He could turn invis and own them all. Or shape change and fool them into not knowing who as who. Or kill them all in a nova blast.
Why does Reed have to keep moving to stay rubbery? I seem to remember him wrapping up Wolverine and resisting his claws while staying pretty stationary(when the New FF was hunting the Human Torch I believe).
And his Anti-Matter blast is often forgotten(I probably wouldn't know about it if I hadn't made the respect thread) but it's still a part of his arsenal. I have no problem admitting that he's not likely to use it right out of the gate, but if they somehow manage to get him on the ropes I don't see why he wouldn't. And with SS's history of taking shots from Thor and Surfer, I find it hard to believe that this particular X-Men lineup could put him down before he decided to use it.
He has to continuously shift his form, even if he's visually staying in place. It's why he can be KTFO'd by an attack he doesn't see coming.
I see his anti-matter blast being similar to Jubilee's telepathic immunity/resistance... a cool power given to them in their conception, and then unofficially retconned out of their powerset when later writers wanted to stick to the core powers, and not deviate.
But seeing as I still believe that Scott's gonna tag him from the get go and that Kurt/Logan/Piotr can make up the distance when he's knocked back, and splitting SS's attention between brawl and range, that he won't have time to explore esoteric abilities.
He'll resort to his main fighting method, which loses to a well coordinated team like this.
In theory he would start melting at 9000 degrees F. However, he's never been put to the test, so one must wonder (especially with his increasing durability over the years) if he could possibly even withstand that to far greater temperatures. Eh.
I've never seen SS go for bubbles in the brain before. Have you?
And I've also rarely, if ever seen him make a full bubble shield, rather than simply a partial bubble... which means taking the time to deflect Cyke's beam would result in Logan clawing into his back.
