Superman v.s The Silver Surfer

i tend to agree with the former -- the board thing was still ridiculous imo . . .

oh, and for those wh assume ss can simply manipulate his shields, don't forget that quasar with the q-bands SEEMED to have an upper hand on ss in a battle they had. ss didn't seem to be able to control the q-band energy at will. the point? ss doesn't and can't simply control all forms of enery at a whim. some require far more effort to gain control over.

😕

you know q LET him win, right . . .?

in any event -- what i've been saying all along is this isn't an 'easy' win for ss, as so many believe. most think a shot of k-nite beats supes, or red sunlight automatically means he'll lose. it doesn't. there is still some question about whether ss can control supes shield and there is a LOT of questions about whether he can transmute organic matter -- ie turn supes to stone.

using the observable, on-panel feats both have displayed, i don't know how (unless you are an 'anti-fanboy' -- worse even than 'fanboys' imo) you can say this is NOT at least a pretty close fight.

Just as some of the Surfer's powers require more effort and concentration than others, the same should be said of Superman's abilities, especially the more obscure ones like this TVO thing (which, IMO, is starting to smell a bit like a plot device).

I think the concensus being reached is that Superman has the ability to beat Surfer...but not quite as much ability as Surfer has to beat Superman.

It's a shame they never fought in their crossover. When I first bought that mag and flipped through it, catching that panel where Surfer is apparently blasting Superman, man what a disappointment when I read the story and found out what was really going on...though I did like the part where Superman was clearly impressed by the Surfer's power.

I know. I posted the first one because Quasar said the Surfer could have broken through his construct anytime he wanted. And in the fight, its not until the 4th scan that Quasar actually realizes that he's been tricked and decides to let the Surfer win. At first both sides were fighting to save the universe (I therefore assume neither was holding back) and it seemed like Surfer had the advantage.

And I agree that it would be a close fight as Surfer never seems to use his myriad of powers to their greatest effect in a fight and Superman doesn't seem really to have any upper limits as he seems to always holding back. 😛 Who knows just how powerful either really is.

TVO thing..wats that?

Look on page 6 of this thread. Avalonofthewind posted some scans of it being used and explained it. 😉

Dominus has cosmic awareness, Darkseid has it, GL's have it, Eradicator has MULTIVERSAL cosmic awareness. Surfer comes from a different universe, as has been made canon, if they fight on neutral ground, how will SS know the frequency? Supes can easily fool him using Torquasm VO.
