This thread is dedicated to powerful and enigmatic beings known as the Elders of the Universe. This thread is dedicated to the Elders as a group rather than an individual member due to the Elder’s relatively low appearance count, but I’m going to try to steer clear of feats involving the Infinity Gems unless they do something particularly impressive with them. Alright we’ll start with a feat that‘s applicable to ALL of the Elders…
This is the Elders describing talking about reforming after being reduced to atoms and eaten by Galactus… (please log in to view the image)
I’ll get things going with the jobber of the Elders, the Champion. Now I’ll admit that Champion’s good showings are few and far between, but he does have a couple of decent feats to his credit…
Easily counters an attack from Mantis(one of the most skilled h2h combatants in the universe) and then actually manages to capture her in something resembling a Full Nelson… http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/...rsmantisya0.jpg
So we’ve seen the jobber of the Elders, now for a change of pace we’ll take a look at their “Big Gun”….
Ego the Living planet.
First we’ll have a look at Ego’s first run in with Galactus. Ego loses and is saved by Thor(I’ve left out everything after Ego goes down), but it’s still not a bad showing on his part when you consider the opposition…
I know that the Runner has his own respect thread, but I’m including him anyway because I don’t like the thought of leaving any of the Elder’s out of their own damn respect thread. But this is all comes strait from the Runner’s respect thread, so most of the credit goes to Inhuman for these scans…
Here is his fight against Silver Surfer.
Runner defeats surfer almost effortlessly. Seems he was toying with him.
Surfer realizes that runner is much more powerful than he is. He is brought down to his knees and is defeated. Runner didnt look to be going all out at all.
Thanos has never been speed blitz by surfer, but runner was able to do it in this fight. Yeah , i know he had the gem. But lets look into the gem for a sec.
The elders didnt really tap into the gems full powers. some didnt even know they did anything at all. Or rarely taped into any of their power.
-Runner comented that he would SOMETIMES be so fast he was at a certain place just by thinking it. meaning instant travel. Meaning those specific times he would tap into the gem.
-In the thanos fight. I dont recall runner instant traveling. Im pretty sure he blitz thanos with his own speed. Because like I said before the elders rarily taped into the gems powers.
Thanos tells runner that the gem didnt make him faster. It sometimes allowed him to instantaneously teleport. mentally.
That means Runner was always as fast as he apeared in this fight. He only taped into the gems power sometimes when he would teleport. He didnt teleport in this fight at all.
Thanos turns runner into an old man via the time gem he has.
If thanos and runner didnt have infinity gems in that fight who knows
Here thanos turns runner back to normal via time gem.
He realized what collectors plans were with baby runner. runner is pissed, and beats the hell out of the collector.
Here Runner displays telepathy, intangibility, and his patented “likeable” power. It’s also heavily implied that he can traverse multiple lightyears in moments… http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?...ers14315lh5.jpg
Well bro all his powers were in his weapons he didnt have psionic powers like the other Elders and he was left stranded on a planet with no tech. So he was ****ed
If it wasnt for the Surfers ability to affect matter Surfer would have lost.

Champion survived the crash landing on the planet Thanos left him on. He found some wristlets that increased his power, and defeated every warrior on the planet, none of them were a challenge for him:
Ok since he's the one that's taken the most grief about losing to Surfer, next I'll cover the Obliterator. And while he HAS lost to Surfer, Surfer's never been able to beat him in a strait up fight. The first time he won by transmuting Obliterator's weapons and teleportation systems and leaving him stranded on a deserted planet. And the second time Surfer actually ran away because the Obliterator had somehow aquired some "Power Cosmic Proof" weapon systems and there was nothing Surfer could do to stop him.
