A week of prep and files on the opponent supplied by the targets arch-nemesis, and I'm sure they could come up with something.

Let's see, Beast, Professor X, Shiar Tech, a week of prep against Supes, and Lex Luthor providing info on Supes for them to work with to kill him...

Hmm...

Beast would create emitters that would release a field of synthetic kryptonite radiaton and red sunlight to weaken Supes when he gets in close proximity to the X-Men. using concealed emitters with say a 50 yard radius that Beast would wear, and also have units planted near where they planned to confront Supes Also, he could create synthetic kryptonite (Batman did), make it into a powdered form, and give it to Storm, who in turn will create a thunderstorm and seed the stormclouds with the kryptonite which would polarize the kryptonite particles and create a type of kryptonite acid rain over the battlefield when the confrontation begins (Storm would not be on the frontlines, this would be a subversive, covert attack. She'd create the storm front from a distance, quietly, having the storm roll into town like a natural occurence, and Iceman would be with her).

Cyclops, NC, Beast (with emitters on his person and planted around the battlefield), and Wolverine should be the first to engage combat with Supes, luring him to the center of the highly populated city of Quebec by having Beast and NC scare civilians in Downtown assuming the boyscout won't go all out around civilians (neither would the X-Men, but I'm assuming they are villains in this scenario since they are hired assassins).

Supes will come in and try to talk (as usual) while the other team members prepare to enact the plan without speaking since Professor X can coordinate everything telepathically from Cerebro.

[Considering that this thread specifies that Luthor commissioned the X-men, I'm assuming the X-Men would initiate combat (i.e., call Supes out).]

As Superman speaks it begins to lightly rain, increasing in intensity as he continues his speach and time goes by. Wolverine insults Supes and calls him a "Tights wearin Mam's boy", and unsheaths his claws just as the downpour has reached sheets of rain (Acid rain laced with polarized kryptonite and accompanied by Iceman who has intermixed with the rain in liquid form). Professor X covertly switches on the array of emitters from there base of operations as Wolverine rushes Supes, who stands there in his usual "You can't hurt me little man" pose, not knowing he's bathing in kryptonite from the rainfall and radiation emitters that are bombarding the area in red sun light and sythesized kryptonite radiation. Logan's first slash does nothing, but then his second slashes the S on Supes chest. Supes looks down and is bewildered.

At that moment, Professor X and Emma assault his mind using enhanced portable Cerebros from a lead laced basement at the outskirts of Quebec when Supes is beginning to weaken. Wolverine keeps up the assault on the distracted Kal El, slashing away but not doing much damage at all. Iceman (in liquid form and not visible since he came with the rain fall) encases Supes legs in ice and he falls down, and then Cyke and Beast move in to quadruple team Supes with close range exposure to the emitter on Beast's person. As Supes weakens further from the radiatioon exposure, Iceman (still not visible) encases more of his body in ice, then the X-Men fall back as Storm (with targetting being relayed telepathically, no talking) directs chain lightning into the weakened Supes water drenched and ice covered body, helping conduct even more of the electrical current through his body.

Supes lays there smoking and tattered, drenched in red sunlight rays and kryptonite, his mind filled with illusions of his first battle with Doomsday (in the Lex files) and Lois Lane being tortured on Apokolips, calling for him as he lays powerless to help her. He screams and writhes in agony as Logan and Beast wqith his emitter move back in for the final blow on the weakened Kryptonian.

"Goodnight bub..."

SNIKT

Game over.

🙄 right 🙁 😕 🙄

Wow... whirlysplat did a great job discussing his views. It looks people think the new x-men can win this battle.

It's a good story....just incredibly implausible. Acid-Rain Kryptonite? 🤨

Okay Draco69... you seem to think Superman can win. What do you think will happen in this fight? Don't forget the x-men do have prep time.

🙄 sometimes things speak for themselves 🙄

So Whirlysplat what do the new X-men do with their money once they win?

I agree.

A "Kryptonite Tornado" sounds more tangible. Right?

You understand the concepts of cloud seeding and acid rain, correct?

You understand the concept of implementing a fictional element into weather science right?

plus why doesn't he just use super-speed or heat-vision? or fly above the clouds and hit them from above like an ICBM? Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile.

Info on cloud seeding.

And Draco, we're debating fictional events and characters in the first place. In comics just about anything is possible, and given that in comics kryptonite exists, and Storm controls the weather, and in order to seed clouds you need particles of an element (in this case, kryptonite in the place of silver iodide or sulfur) to become polarized within the clouds, it's actually sound.

Maybe not popular to DC fans, but given the premise, it is plausible.

That's the problem. How do we know that kryptonite is capable of becoming polarized at all in a cloud? It's sound on the basis that kryptonite is an element that is capable (like sulphur or silver iodide) of becoming polarized. Which you have no proof. It has never been done. And I'm pretty goddamn sure Lex Luthor would have thought it before Beast or Professor X.

could he still not hit them before they could start the rain?

Well, the thread originator stated the X-Men were paid to kill him, but Supes doesn't know that. In my scenario, they cause a disturbance in Downtown Quebec and lure Supes out to remedy the situation. Supes wouldn't know it was a trap, and he wouldn't know who the X-Men were or what they are capable of. Supes more times than not does not simply rush in and kill his opponents, it's not in his character. He tries to quell things peacefully if possible. The thread originator does not state Supes has any prior knowledge of what's going on, only the X-men have 'prep'.

He could. However according to the premise. Superman is just gonna stand there stupidly and do nothing. For god's sake, even the most trace amount of kryponite has an adverse reaction to him. He won't just stand in krypto-rain like nothing's happening. He's completely underrating Superman's intelligence. Superman's super-genius. He builds stuff that would make Iron Man look like an amateur.

ok...........they have prep time....they have alien technology....they have beast....they have the most powerful telepath in the world....they have argueably two of the most powerful mutants in the world.....iceman cannot be detected by supes....iceman can make everyone "air".....storm, pro x and emma would probably still be able to use there powers in that state.......telepaths hit him from within.....storm and iceman make really cold rain that storm then uses to conduct lots of lightning, while iceman freezes supes nostrils and his mouth........he may not be harmed by the temp.....but hows he gonna breath??

In my scenario Storm's not on the battlefield. She creates the storm quietly from a distance in a manner in which it appears to be a natural occurence so Supes does not suspect anything. Every time it rains Supes does not think a villain is behind it. The Earth does have weather after all.
