Crystal can't control his body. His power over his own body is far superior to Crystal's control over earth for one thing, and for another, he's organic granite in the same way Thing is rock. He's not a stone statue, his hide is simply extremely dense.
By your logic Crystal would own someone like Ego because he consists of elements she can manipulate.
Sandstorms, compressed sand, and Zero G punches????
No B-Dub.
That's not going to down my team.
Your Wendigo's still need to advance on me to attack, which means they will enter the sandstorm your team is creating. Under the cover of the sandstorm KK will own the Wendigos like nobody's business: he can fly at mach speeds in his Legion Flight suit and all of the Wendigo's (and Dupe Boys) are psionically linked by their pain receptors. KK can hit any member of the collective with a debilitating nerve strike and it effects the entire group, and if Wendigo Prime is killed or mortally wounded, all the Wendigo's dissapear.
Same goes for your Duplicate boy clones. The other Duplicate Boys may have Crystal and Powerhouses powers, but DB prime is basically a normal human and can be killed easily. He has no protection whatsoever. At least Multiple Man has his curse, DB Prime is pretty much powerless.
After I down them, it becomes a 4 on 2, and my 1 (Monolith) could take your whole 14 max (6 Wendigos, 6 Dupes, Crystal, and Powerhouse) by himself.
You don't have enough firepower, you don't have enough versatilty, and you definitely don't have enough skill on your team to win.
Thor flew up and whacked Living Monolith upside the head, Monolith back handed the lil gnat away.
Monolith is like 15-20 times bigger than Thor at the least, and Mjolnir is not a gigantic 1000 ton hammer. Hitting someone human size with a hammer is way different then hitting someone King Kong+ size with a hammer. No where did it say "The Thunder God, with all of the might of Asgard, strikes true with the mighty Mjolnir, with an Earth shattering force that wakes the Dead Gods of yon early creation", all it shows is Thor flying up and hitting Monolith, not knowing what he was dealing with, getting backhanded like a lil b*tch by a 30' giant, and then saying he underestimated Monolith because as he usually does, he rushed in head long and didn't assess the situation.
You really think that the sand will have no effect on KK? pffffffft he is still just a man, hes not god, he may have advanced training and supersenses, but the sand WILL through him off. Molten rock burns at all your characters. Did I say the Wendigos would go into the sandstorm? uh huh, I can lead them with winds having the smell of your team, around the sand storm, going behind you and attacking from behind. Gamora and Vertigo are of no consquence, the sands bury them and the Wendigos eat the body parts that MIGHT stickout.
KK and Monolith get sand, oxygen snapping in their faces (making them see lights) power blasts, molten rock, and zero g punches for Monolith. Yes those tactics will win me the day
does the legion flight suit protect him from the sand because thats what it sounds like Illadelph12 is saying but Blair is acting like it doesn't protect KK from the sand barrage, so which is it?
A sandstorm isn't going to do ANYTHING to Monolith, B-Dub. He's too big, and he doesn't need to breathe for extended periods of time. Besides, it will only take him seconds to bumrush your team and crush them, and you really don't want to go blast for blast with me, especially considering that a majority of your team has normal human durability and 12 members of your team share a psionic link of their pain receptors.
Monolith could just go solo and kill your whole team.
Thing's got plenty pf durability. He did survive a severe beat down from Champion and tried to get up for more, after all. One whack from Thor, and not nearly a full power whack, pales in comparison.
Also, you don't have multiple Powerhouses. Alex has the ability to swap powers with his siblings at will, not embody them all at the same time. The other siblings aren't around, so at best, he'd be able to switch to and use one at a time, and Dupe Boy would be copying Alex's base powers, and not be able have the powers of his siblings unless Alex was using it at the time because they are not on the battlefield and Dupe Boy has no knowledge of their powers.
and no, Alex had all of their powers in his New Warriors run, he was the only one would could take all the powers. The sandstorm for KK is not about hurting him, but disorienting him and then hitting him with molten rock, lightning (lightning gets as hot as the surface of the sun right??)
The sandstorm for Monolith COVERS him in sand, and the combined efforts of Powerhouse and Crystal compress him, then pour molten rock all over him.....
Monolith is a class 100 10 ton giant, Crystal and Alex are not overpowering him in any way shape or form, especially not "covering him in sand". (?????)
Monolith is not going to stand still and allow himself to become a giant sand castle. Especially not by two weaklings that couldn't harm him in any way.
Also, how in the hell are Crystal and Alex going to protect themselves from Monolith? There offense is of no effect, and Monolith could crush them in his bare hands like he was going to crush Angel or SPIDERMAN (who is more agile than either of them) in the scan, or just crush them under his mass. Monolith could just go human battering ram and fly around doing the booty drop all over the battle field and crush every member of your team who have no defense against him.
As a matter of fact, yeah:
Monolith flies around and heat blasts and sits on every member of your team because they can't do nothing to him and he weighs 10 tons and can travel at mach speeds.
Powerhouse goes at mach speeds and has more mobility that your monolith.
Its not about waiting to cover him, 30 feet is not tall enough to say he cant be covered rather quickly by a more mobile team, with sand disorienting him and squizing him, goining into his nose, ears, mouth...you get the picture
and then being burned by a sheild of molten rock, and then being covered in it. In fact I use that with my sandstorm burning at you while your visibilty is zero
Monolith blasts, Powerhouses intercept and just get more powerful.
Think of it this way, I have humans with bombs compared to you tank, I place bombs on tanks and thanks to my mobility get the hell out of there....
translates into: Sand disorients the big guy, molten rock burns him, and my team is much more mobile your monolith
[I hate debating against friends. It's nothing personal B-Dub.]
Look, B-Dub, Powerhouse is by no means more durable than Monolith. He can take an energy blast, and he can erect a force field, but Monolith could physically crush him at will. Alex can't down Monolith, and unless he's going to just evade for the rest of the fight and allow his team to die, he doesn't really have much choice in the matter. You're not going to cover him in molten rock, he can move, he's not a stationary target, he can travel at mach speeds and simply bulldoze Crystal, and if you're spouting lava all over the place you could take out your own teammates in the process.
KK could always just beat the living shit out of Alex after Dupe Boy Prime and Wendigo Prime are dead. All of Alex's firepower will serve him no good against KK, he can just dodge and close the distance and then beat him down like he stole KK's rent check.
