Respect Quasar

so, a bunch of fights to add to this.

nova's may beat that feat, but the other one (you know where he made a 'solar flare' LOL) was at least as good. moving on....

@dmills. i'll show the battle against phoenix and mordred first. it starts with mordred taking mental command of rachel (a great feat in itself, tbh) and this is the result:

(note in the second scan he says once the lens is up he can't make it stronger--but he COULD have made it stronger had he expected her level of power. ie--the power/strength of his constructs VARIES)

(note here too that mordred attacked quasar while he was fighting rachel...) now here, the bands hold him. he tries to break out, has a plan to break free, but before he can enact it, cap britain arrives first and breaks him free first. then the battle resumes....)

you can see he is clearly tackling both at once--as i said earlier....

an excellent showing imo against 2 very powerful opponents. put up who ever you would like to match. 👆

a quick note here too--that was issue 11 of his series. that was early in his career, still his old costume. he became much better with his powers as the series went along....

nice job of (a) ignoring the fact that you failed to tell everyone mordred's attack was a sneak attack in the first place and (b) ignoring the REST OF THE FIGHT THAT DIDN'T INCLUDE THE CHEAP SHOT. and who knows, his plan may have worked or eon may have gotten to him. there was a plot that needed developing....and after all, CAP BRITAIN broke them by hand! lol obviously they weren't as strong as other bands might have been.

anyway, more lowballing while you yourself left out context. do it one more time and i WILL report your a$$. leave the debating to someone who has an idea of who they are debating. believe me when i say dmills does not need my posts to pass through the zop-translator.

moving on....again. here is another time you completely left out context and lowballed. here is quasar vs creel:

fight was actually over right there. creel was done but for his plot device, handy-dandy adamantium....which he just happened to be carrying around. lol well done leaving that unimportant detail out zop. 👆

so wendell actually beat him twice--even when he had adamantium. another very strong showing. would creel have blown up on his own? maybe, but he might have been able to keep the power in control. doesn't matter as wendell took him out anyway. 👆 and again, this was early wendell.

okay, so i'll upload a few more things over the next couple days then we can take a closer look. here's quasar's battle with masterson thor:

http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/saemund/media/thor5_zpsf2233836.jpg.html

i know it wasn't the real thor, but it was a much better battle all around and i think i'd give the edge to quasar in their respective showings. but you're right, they are very close in terms of power. i'll add more stuff so people can get a better idea of what quasar can do.

nova's best stuff is by far the annihilation stuff, imo. my ONLY problem with using that is that it is really nova's shining moment--he was the one getting the push in that arc, so it doesn't surprise me that in that arc he came out looking the better. his feats there were great. what i wanted to see was how he TYPICALLY performed. we can talk more if you're interested when all the feats have been presented. this is good--i've already learned a couple things about nova, and frankly, that's what i was after.

this is inadvertently turning into a quasar respect thread, lol

anywho, this is a team up battle (like nova/thing) against a planet ravager--terminus. cosmic spidey doesn't do much except help bfr him though, and the opening shot quasar takes shows all i need to show regrading his durability....

and here is the much discussed watcher battle. i think it surpasses the sphinx battle mostly because this was more 1on1 and quasar does some serious damage on his own. note too that quasar mentions the watcher's power level and he'd already met the stranger and terminus by that time.

But of course, one died and one lived. It's not like he completely outshone Quasar though. He relied on a plot device to save him.

And the only important being in the whole thing was Galactus. Nova just fisted his throat which for some reason was open.

K.

Leo wishes you were never born.

Upper hand, maybe, it's not like he was really winning, or actually won.

Well, funny you should ask good sir.
Here's Quasar just tossing the shit out of Evilvis, and kind of fighting Magus...

And then here's Quasar kicking the shit out of Evilvis again.

Obviously Nova's performances against Evilvis were way more impressive because he was Quasar's exact equal, but yeah, that happened, twice.

lol that's just bran-speak for he luvs you.

yeah, beating up a twin isn't anything new to quasar--i did like how the WM calls the evil twin a significant threat to his safety though. lol anyway, beating his doppleganger isn't a big deal. here he beats THREE versions of the protector of the universe simultaneously:

http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/sclements1/media/vp9.jpg.html

and if anyone missed it, those versions were considered by quasar to be even more powerful and better trained with the bands than he himself was. they were recreated by thanos when he had the IG. a very nice feat imo. there was a fourth (marvel boy) who quasar defeated very easily a little later.

Originally posted by leonidas
the fight with the bug has always annoyed me a little. all he seemed to do was drain/devour quasar's energy, but that always seemed a little pi$$y to me. the q-bands are just a conduit to INFINITE power. and by that i mean they actually tap into the power of the abstract INFINITY. note in the first one maelstrom actually compares the power of the bands to the IG!

http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/sclements1/media/1.jpg.html

http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/sclements1/media/2.jpg.html

the next scan is just kinda cool i though. i like what gaea says about wendell. this is after he saved the universe from maelstrom.

http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/sclements1/media/3.jpg.html

and finally a nice little showing vs IG thanos. note in particular in the second scan what he used to create the fist he hit thanos with....

http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/sclements1/media/4.jpg.html

http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/sclements1/media/5.jpg.html

he actually used/absorbed and redirected the IG's energy back at thanos! that is a pretty spectacular feat for the q-bands imho. he actually did pretty well for himself. obviously he couldn't win (and thanos just made the 4 protectors and left) but still, a very strong showing imo.

more later. this is actually kind of fun going through some of this stuff again. hopefully some people are getting a little better appreciation for how powerful wendell was. 🙂

hmr. too bad. if you have a definitive source you could have another way to gauge relative powers. anyway, a couple more scans. this one vs the abstract anomaly in the dimension of manifestation. not a classic style battle exactly, but still a pretty cool victory in the end and some cool armor:

http://s1151.photobucket.com/user/sclements1/media/6.jpg.html

they'd battled previously but after a brief engagement quasar just quantum jumped away. just another example though of quasar's standing as a cosmic hero. he was asked to contact ETERNITY by captain america. of course he was also given the task of using the UN against magus and his IG. that was one of the things i liked about him--he was always in the heart of the big stuff--obviously the COSMOS IN COLLISION arc where he became INFINITY's avatar and defeated maelstrom who was OBLIVION's avatar was a perfect example of that. i'll post the famous battle against ss shortly.

Originally posted by leonidas
okay, so here's the ss/quasar 'battle'. they only really go at it for a short time but quaze more than holds his own. i wonder had it gone on how things would have ended up. regardless, i liked the parallel drawn but lt--quaze is eon's herald, ss, galactus's. puts quasar's station and power level in perspective imo, and he certainly seemed to be a match for old norrin. not sure nova did as well. even giving up the fight it took some time for ss to take him out and he was fighting for the whole UNIVERSE. pretty well motivated i'd say....

the starbrand was a BEAST in that arc. ereshkigal effortlessly altered order and chaos. would have been interesting to see her tackle lt. also implied there was the idea that the new universe wasn't just another universe, but a whole other multiverse where lt wasn't supreme--he couldn't even possess the starbrand. more cool ideas from the series. i liked the new universe tie in. too bad they mucked up the current version of the starbrand so badly. 😬

Awesome thread! Спасибо, from Russia.

just a couple more scans from TI. i loved this feat--note not only how powerful the shields were, and their shapes, but he took power from ALL the annhilators to create it--without asking. lol
