It's literally defined by it being intent, so this is quite the stupid thing to say.

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dic...ish/side-effect


If you punch me in the face with your fist because you wanted to give me a black eye, it's both correct to say "Phil gave me a black eye" and "As a side effect of Phil's punch, I got a black eye".

Just depends what you want to emphasize, and it doesn't depend on whether or not you cared more about giving me a black eye than punching me with your fist.

Or are you going to feign you didn't just say something incredibly stupid?

Firestorm creating salt is a matter of transmutation, the blackhole was specifically attributed to an energy discharge by Surfer... not the same thing.

If I wanted to give you a black eye and punched you in it, is the black eye a side effect, or the primary effect of what I wanted?

I take it you're as good at physics as you are at knowing what words mean.

Take a hike, read how black holes are created, then come back to me.

No, he didn't. The writer didn't take it into account and there is no mention of it in any issues Morg appeared in.

Thor is wrongly placed above BRB. Superman is and always was above Cap when he actually cuts loose and has defeated Captain Marvel straight up and almost beat him to death.

Surfer just doesn't has the quality or quantity of Superman's high end feats. Superman's average is Surfer's high end feats.

He still had it when the whole Tyrant thing went down. Consider it a retcon if you like, but it's still accurate to say that he beat Morg w/WOL because the recton deemed it to be so.

As for the rest... blah, blah, blah... feats still hold significant weight on KMC. If you don't like it, try to get the mods to change it.

I know how THAT black hole was created... because of Surfer's energy discharge. It's right there on panel.

Yeah, I need to see this retcon before you go any further.

Yeah, they do. Just not as much as you think. Surfer can't even singe Superman's hair by feats if you want to go by that route.

Superman has actually tanked a black hole that was pulling whole multiverse in. Try to beat that if you want.

Which he intentionally generated to create a black hole.

Black holes aren't created by shooting energy randomly. It involves compression of matter.

Like I said, this is another topic you're clueless. Read on it, then come back.

Talk to Ambient, he's the one who pointed it out to me a while back.

And hey, I haven't been trying to compare Supes and Surfer in this thread, I've only been addressing Surfer's feat. Then you chimed in with your typical "feats aren't what matter" type of arguement and here we are.

Kryptonite not native to Superman's universe has been shown to be ineffective. Even if Surfer could make it work, he'd have to do it while getting punched in the face.

Red sun radiation is not an insta-lose for Supes. He's flown through Krypton's red sun before ffs.

Except that this one WAS... as specifically noted on panel. Car's also can't be picked up and thrown by human sized characters and nothing made of matter can go faster than light in real life just so you know...

I debunked Roldz claim a few years back actually. I know everything about that claim.

Yeah, random feats don't matter in large scale of things. Even in the same series we see Surfer going all out against T&A and no black holes are created or he even managed to do anything to them.

Only relative performance matters and Surfer is piss poor in that.

Can't get any clearer than that.
You really helped clear up that Surfer generated a black hole... as a secondary effect to his energy discharge.

It's literally defined by it being intent, so this is quite the stupid thing to say.

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dic...ish/side-effect


Here, let me help you out Phil:

quote:
Merriam-Webster: a secondary and usually adverse effect (as of a drug) toxic side effects —called also side reaction
No mention of intent.

quote:
Dictionary.com:
2. any accompanying or consequential and usually detrimental effect
No mention of intent.

As I said, cherry picking definitions.

The black hole was an accompanying, consequential effect of an energy blast. It's worth specifying that the black hole was an accompanying, consequential effect of a different action that Surfer took because, intended or otherwise, it emphasizes that the black hole was created indirectly, and therefore with greater ease.

Man, if only we had a word for that....

You refusing to acknowledge the validity isn't the same as "debunking".

Not on KMC. On KMC feats matter and since this is the place where the debates are taking place that's just the way is whether you like it or not.
