Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
yeah, yeah.....
as far as mentioning the others--i was curious to see how far up the ladder you'd put him. someone who can stomp AM as easily as you made it seem he would would almost have to be high herald. higher? who knows, maybe you're even right--maybe if he faced surfer he'd just drain him for an easy win. the way you were talking LEADS to those sorts of implications, but...you never answered my question. so, he WOULDN'T beat gladiator? wonder woman? but he would stomp a hole in AM, who you've compared to both superman and wonder woman? makes no sense. so he's limited to...mid heralds? then i can't see you thinking this would be a stomp.
point is, if you don't know where YOU think he stops, then....what's the point of commenting at all? (just to aggravate me isn't a good reason )
about the non-totems: you were using that spidey arc a lot--the initial one he appeared in. at the time, his powers were less fleshed out and it was thought that he was stronger fighting the totems because of the way he could drain them. the idea that ezekiel could bloody him with a single shot while spidey couldn't even scratch him helped support that idea. i think that is still partly true--it's why spiders have such a hard time against him. but he has drained others since then as well, but he doesn't seem to gain power like he does when he drains a totem. solus did gain power when he drained the enigma force though, as it was pure life energy, so....i don't friggin know.
we also saw spidey kill morlun in 'the other' arc. the whole thing was weird, but again, we see he isn't invulnerable:
i think there is enough support, and enough questions regarding the exact nature and limits to morlun's powers, to suggest this is far from a stomp.
@sin--morlun recognized genis as a cosmic entity and still didn't care, then drained him. even if he wasn't as powerful as 616 genis, i still find it impressive, and it was a scene i'd forgotten about.
Obviously you're in the "Riv never debates a topic" camp. Thats cool.
I've recently enrolled in the "Carver is biased as ****" school.
Tonight's homework was pointing that out and getting a kick out of it.
Morlun seems to delight in masochism... Likes to play with his prey, see the confusion then fear in their eyes. Underestimating Arthur for too long will lead to defeat. I think he'll resort to draining early however once he realizes how strong 💪 Arthur is. Provided he survives long enough of course..
It's not always the case, sometimes people just love to lowball. You can see this in literally every single Karate Kid topic. I think some people got beat up by a school bully who used karate and I dunno..it left a mark on them.
High end super speed is indeed a very valuable tool and yes a lot of times speed kills. So to me that is why I wouldn't make a fight where one person has high end speed and the other person lacks high end speed and also lacks any other way to survive.
Since it's either they win via speedblitz or we spend 1900 pages arguing over whether or not a character will use their speed or if they'll just be content to allow themselves to get beat to death. You see because 99% of superheroes are sado-masichists who love pain.
All these other things are circumstantial. Especially death spores being an automatic win..or battle computers. I mean Midnighter is kinda shitty all things considered.
I just think people need to really consider the abilities of characters before posting a fight.

Where is the bear totem though? It's just not fair. F*ck spiders.
