Rouge vs. Hulk

"Eventually he'll get frustrated and just grab her leg or arm. That should give her powers enough time to start draining."

A) She wears a full body costume and even if she didn't Hulk isn't stupid enough to do such a thing.

B) It'll take 5 seconds for him to grab her and hurl her across the country if he chooses to.

All hero's get ripped costumes when they fight strong people, and their costumes are like ripped everywhere but in the groin area and for the girls, in the chest area. So like if he hurls her, she'll get some of his powers, then just come flying back.

"Quite a telling remark. If you own the comic then page number isn't relevent. Such detail would only be needed if you were searching for the info somewhere else. "

Spoken like a true expert in the art of bullsh#t. There is nothing in that comic that says Rogue can't absorb hulk, that's a fact and you know it. I have the book, she absorbs Hulk's power in on page 7 in book #5 of contest of Champions. A disclaimer by Claremont is not present and your argument is as I said, null and void..

"Weaken him enough to knock him out by draining? She'd have to grab and hold onto him. I don't believe she could do that at all, let alone for long enough."

She doesn't have to grab on and hold does she? She can grab on take some power and then use it against him more quickly than he can react. When an opponent is being drained they're obviously not operating at their full potential and are barely conscious at best and Rogue is much faster than Hulk even when he's at full strength.

I think that maybe her draining stuff has something to do with the amount of time she is in contact with them. Probably like 5 seconds or something, so punches or smacks would not work, but Rogue could lure Hulk into grabbing her by flying and evading him. Eventually he'll get frustrated and just grab her leg or arm. That should give her powers enough time to start draining.

Actually, her powers are suppose to be near instantaneous. There is no lapse, no window of time where she cannot drain others. It's either whether she can absorb or not a particular person..

oOo, so then she'll get more powers from him, get hurled, be addicted to the power rush, and come back for more like frat boy's on weed.

So in a final act of desparation you resort to name calling. Typical behavior of people who see that they've lost an argument and have nothing intelligent left to say.

ummm, your point...

I would also think that the greater the surface area of her skin that touches her opponent, the more quickly the transfer would occur. I don't think that's ever been stated , but it would seem to make sense.

Maybe, cuz she tends to use 2 hands when she's trying to absorb stronger people.

I've seen the face, the lips, the hands, arm, etc. but I would like to see her absorb someone from her feet.

Oh, and that reminds me of another drainee. Saphire.

who?

She was under the employ of Roche, one of the drug lords in Madripoor. She absorbed the energies from people by kissing them. She can be found in Wolverine's "Save the Tyger."

oOo coolios.

"oOo, so then she'll get more powers from him, get hurled, be addicted to the power rush, and come back for more like frat boy's on weed."

Did you miss where he said supposed to? She hasn't actually done it.

"She can grab on take some power and then use it against him more quickly than he can react. When an opponent is being drained they're obviously not operating at their full potential and are barely conscious at best and Rogue is much faster than Hulk even when he's at full strength."

You're suggesting she's gonna fly around, touch him, take a bit, then do the same? Hahaha. How funny. You say she isn't gonna have to grab and hold, then you said she can do it by grabbing. How do you grab and not hold? Bit random, bit silly and fake. Barely conscious when draining? I've seen people get touched by her and be perfectly coherent. She's faster than him, so? She can avoid getting hit maybe if she moves fast enough. Hulk isn't a slouch therefore she has two choices, dodge or attack. She can't dodge and drain despite what you think. She does not have instananeous draining, you think she has, and whether her "bio" says it or not, it has never happened. She's had skin/skin contact with people from punching and stuff and not drained them. All I've seen from Lady, Radioboy and yourself is "I think", "She should" and "She could".

Has she ever absorbed someone with skin touch in a small time window? No. Has she absorbed from being attacked by a punch or a kick? No.

What you'd like her powers to be and what they have been displayed to be are two different things. Does anyone here she believe she can keep taking Hulk punches to the face, each time gaining a bit of power, until she has reached her max? No, she'd be dead.

Finally:

"There is nothing in that comic that says Rogue can't absorb hulk, that's a fact and you know it. I have the book, she absorbs Hulk's power in on page 7 in book #5 of contest of Champions. A disclaimer by Claremont is not present and your argument is as I said, null and void.."

I do know it, you know what? I agree. Where did I say Rogue is incapable of actually absorbing Hulk's power to a degree? Nowhere. She has a max, she can't absorb it all. She does it in Contest of Champions, a comic created, and I quote "For the sole purpose of having heroes fight for the sake of it. The heroes are controlled by nanities which are basically like robots." I also quote "I had a Shadowcat/Rogue storyline that I wanted to play out but I never really got the chance. This was a perfect conduit to see it through."

-AC

I didn't say she had to grab, I said touch.

Maybe her draining is instantaneous, but she wants more of it. In that case, she'll just keep touching him occasionally and it will save up.

And I said she's wearing a full length suit.

Touch? Even LESS likely for her to get his power then. Thanks for aiding my point.

-AC

Did you just like, choose not to read my thing about battle ravaged suits.

and if she does it the tedious way, her hands are still free.

Rogue is superhuman in facts along with, she can absorb power, thusly making the combatant much weaker and unable to fight in some cases.

Rogues power is applied by a simple tap of the combatant or victim, if the finger is not removed, all power would soon be absorbed, or some, making the victim much weaker, and most likely unable to fight, gripping or holding would be much quicker in absorbtion and much quicker in weakening also.

Rogue could do this to even superman im betting, its not just Hulk that can be defeated by her.
