Exactly. When it comes to the gems, you have to consider who is using them. Take it this way: If you give Moondragon the mind Gem, and then give it to Psylocke, Moondragon will use it more effectively, considering she knows it well. However, Thanos will have the best usage out of it. The same goes for the Nega Bands, and so forth.
We all know Galan has plenty of time to waste! j/k
I don't see Drax winning this at all. I would like to say the power gem is strong enough, but not without proper preparation and understanding. Old drax was too dumb, that is why they gave him the gem. He was tough enough to stop people from taknig it, but not smart enough to use it to its full potential.
Juggy666, how old are you cause all you ever offer on these debates is like 2 or 3 words and some smiling faces. Why can't you offer a real conribution to the disscussion?
Drax takes Supes power away and gives it to himself. then pulls a thanos on him. End of Story.
Obviously it doesn't as seen what the mere Power Gem is capable of. Nothing that impressive really. With the rest of the Gems and a proper wielder it seems to posses pretty much infinite strength. Alone with Drax, NO. Nothing compared to Pre-Crisis Superman.
The guy literally sneezed solar systems away, handled planets like they were ping pong balls. Before Drax had any idea what's happening Superman would already be feeding him with planets travelling warp-speed.
First a little 'get-your-facts-straight' nitpicking...
Thanos only had the Soul Gem at the time he fought Champion. But like you said, he didn't beat him through brute force...he outsmarted him.
Thor didn't have the Power Gem when he first beat Surfer and Warlock together...that was sheer bloodlust under his own power.
My opinion on the topic of Drax vs. Superman: I can agree with Starhawk to a point...that if you understand what the Power Gem is and the type of power it grants a wielder, then current Drax would, without question, be far more effective with it today than he ever was as dumb Drax.
There is also no way to measure whether or not he would be a threat to PC Superman without any feats. Guesswork can only take you so far and holds little water in the face of actual feats.
Current Drax would be extremely dangerous and powerful with the Power Gem, but able to do some of the things PC Superman did? Highly unlikely. You need to turn your hyperbole filter up a little if you're relying on the statement of 'it gives him complete control over power'. Sounds a lot like Apocalypse and his ability to 'grant himself whatever power he chooses'.
I understand that and I appreciate your comments. My point is that the Power Gem could be used to steal someones power away. And Current Drax would think of that.
(On a side note, if anyone out there plays Heroclix, in the next set is Pre-Crisis Supes)
