Perhaps I'm confusing this with another storyline, but during the Thunderbolts, while he was getting pounded on, weren't there people to whom he granted flight who lost it, and the island he was supporting started to lose altitude, etc.?
Gravy would be fighting two fairly heavy hitters. It's a toughy.
Not that we disagree, of course...I think we're both voting for Graviton.
i dunno....... Nefaria is a major league Badass....... the sky island story was before Graviton trained himself to use his powers more effectively but in that one the island stayed aloft while he slept..... in T-Bolts 56-58 he find the Redeemers (while looking for the T-Bolts as they are in their old base) and shows an entirely new level of control of his abilities, he holds all the heroes he doesn't want interfering in midair and hold all the worlds major cities up as well (to protect them)...... and at the same time he slaughters the Redeemers...... he is eventually beaten (obviously) by the Bolts as he hadn't incapacitated them (because he wanted to kill them while showing his superiority to them) they blindsided him while he was reshaping the entire planet into an image of himself....... basically if he hadn't forgot about them and let them get that close he would have won easily
Nefaria may be able to win through sheer power....... he outclasses all other earthbound class 100 guys in terms of strength and invulnerability, he's got some kind of eye beam and can fly at fantastic speed..... i don't know if Graviton's shield has a limit to the amount of force it can stop, but if it does then Nefaria is the guy to get through it
Hmm...increasing the density of your own molecules is a vague statement. You should read the discussion I'm having with Ill for more info about that. it doesn't necessarily suggest microgravitic control. See, what makes Magneto so formidable is that his EM energy control is so minute that he's able to destabilize the EM charge between atoms. Graviton hasn't really shown that micro a level of control. My guess is because, like his name implies, he actually controls gravitons, and not gravitic energy. And if that's true, then he's limited to controlling gravity fields, and not cellular bonds.
And if THAT'S true, then it becomes a force on force debate between Gravy and Nefaria.
