Bishop vs Doom

Alright. Bishop can absord massive amounts of energy, which means he can take a blast from any of Doom's weapons. He's a skilled fighter who knows how to counteract a whole library of super powers (like flight, super strength, invisibility) and can make himself stronger, fire the energy back at amplified levels, or channel it into his plasma weapons.

The stips are random encounter, neutral territory, Doom is in his basic armor but can have any gadget her normally carries around except the gun that neutralizes superhuman powers.

Can he absorb magic?

Doom wins.

I... honestly don't know. It is energy, but I don't know if he's been attacked with it before.

Bishop can only absorb energy. So say if he was facing Havok who's has solids or Strom with lightning. He'd fall if hit. He prob. can absorb magic energy but he doesn't absorb "energy magic" if you get my drift.
Doom is like a walking tank. I think he'd nail Bishop. If he didn't get it over with fast though Bishops energy powers could prob. overwhelm Dr. Dooms armor.

Bishop wouldn't lose to Havok or Storm. He can absorb ANY type of energy directed at him. He once took a fully powered blast from Onslaught that would haver destroyed the X-Men, and absorbed it with ease. I'm not sure if he can absorb Magic, but don't count him out so early. Bishop can win.

can he absorb a bullet........ erm........ i mean without being injured or dieing........ cos i'm sure doc Doom would have a few old fashioned guns lying around

Actually, yes he can, and has. Well, he can't absorb the actual bullet, (of course), but, if he is aware he is about to be shot, he can absorb the kinetic energy of the bullet upon contact, causing it to fall harmlessly to the ground.

If he got shot in the head, that wouldn't work.

And why not?

Because he has to use his mind to control his body, his body absorbs the energy.

If his brain has a bullet shearing through it, I doubt it'd work too well.

What if Doom would just strangle him with his strenght?

People actually forget that Doom is an accomplished martial artist.

Yeah, exactly. If Bishop could absorb KINETIC energy, then he'd be immune to physical atacks. Would a punch from Superman do anything to him? I personally think it would...

Seriously, what if Doom did just strangle Bishop? Bishop has no wind to blow Doom around with.

T-That's Storm, Swanky.

I'm just saying, without wind, Doom cannot be stopped.

No, no, no - you need lightning too. To hit the ground with. *nods sagely*

Alpha, Bishop could absorb the energy of the bullet as soon as it touches his skin. Yes, even if the skin is on his head.

Actually, Bishop has absorbed hits from Juggernaut. He is not immune to damage. If he isn't expecting the attack, he can't absorb it. Yes, theoretically, Bishop could absorb a hit from Superman. IF he expected it. Superman could hit him long before he expected it.

Bishop is equally adept at fighting as Doom is.
