Is the underline supposed to be no prep???
If it's just an impromptu battle without BFR then Doom should stomp.
He brings more offensive capacity to the battle, standard gear for B5 has good defense but precious little else.
Doom's armor has weapons and he has magic.
With Pre Querl has much more of a shot, especially if he knows what he's up against. Still a god battle though.
Now, normally i'd agree with you, but a month or two ago i started a B5 thread and was told he had quite a lot in the way of offense. I'll try and find it if anything.
First that wasn't in the B5 thread as I recall but in the Booster thread. You questioned me why I rated Booster so much lower in a battle than Querl. I stand by it, but look at what offense I showed. Pre COIE Querl carried quite a few weapons as standard (hell he seemed to always have the one he needed just like Bat's). Post we're only talking a few things.
Now let's look at the weapons Doom has as standard.
His armor is forged from a titanium allow and was forged mystically and reinforced by magic in Tibet. It also has a force field, enhances his strength substantially, as well as his durability.
Offensively lasers, concussive force blasts, electric shockers, Rockets, Hypnosis ray, but MOST importantly his absorption tech. The stuff he uses to absorb the Power cosmic from SS, etc.
Added to all this he has his vast knowledge of magic which gives him even more avenues of attack.
What is to say he doesn't just drain all the power supply of Querl's gear to power his own. Without prep Querl won't have prepared for it and it's a standard move for Doom.
B5 is great and IMO a prep match between these two would be a bloody great match. I just think that Doom has a too much an advantage in an impromptu encounter due to having more standard gear plus magic knowledge, especially with BFR denied.
Now with BFR on the table than he could use his force field projectors to send doom a few continents away to give him a chance to even things up once he realizes the offensive capacity he faces. While Doom is returning from the BFR he could rewire one force field projector into an energy weapons, or tame trap, phantom zone projector or something like that and even it up.
Good idea on the ff projection. Thats still a viable tactic, given the standard starting distance in these match ups, the field of battle is at least that large...
But this is DCnu and yet you are listing feats from pre crisis versions. What are his best feats since the reboot? What puts him on the level he can compete with a prepped Doom?
