Silver Surfer vs Earth

Consider the damage Batman can do. With prep, he's taken down foes far more powerful than he is (not all PIS). While SS ain't no Batman, he doesn't need to be: the vast array of powers at his disposal more than compensate.

Think of it this way. Suppose the shoe were on the other foot: Surfer's hangin' with the Earth Team, while Dr. Strange's the one planning a first-strike attack. What chance would the Team have then?

Another thing: let's suppose Strange does legitimately possess abstract level limits to his powers. How often does he go there? AFAIK, not very. His average power level is much further down, much closer to human.

Surfer, on the other hand, even on average, operates on a much higher power level, even if his limit does not (?) exceed Strange's. Overall, Surfer is the mightier of the two, except in those instances were Strange has the time to prepare and reach for those levels beyond the Surfer's power.

He doesn't get that opportunity here.

I have a question on how the auto-shields work...

How do the shields detect an attack? Wouldn't they also negate his sense of touch, since everything that touched him was automatically stopped by the shields? How does the shield differenciate (sp) between a harmless touch and a bullet? It obviously didn't stop Hitler's pistol...

On that note, it's said the reason that penetrated was because of the "Dark Energy" stored in the gun. Couldn't Surfer replicate that energy with the PC like he does every other type of energy?

SS with prep theres just so much he could do..
And in regards to auto shielding, i think that was a spell casted prior to the battle and in this scenario he wouldnt have that opportunity to do it...
SS takes this fight..

W/ prep he can probably cast a spell to shield himself but nothing like programable auto shield.. If he took injuries from an assault by Ghost Rider, SS 100+ tonner going at above say mach 10, im pretty sure Strange would get killed by a blitz like that..

Auto-shields don't need spells to be casted. That's why they're so convenient.

Im referring to the attacks GR manage to land to Strange and we all know GR is way below 100 tonner strength..

Do you have scans about this autoshield? This the first time ive heard about it and Strange has been knock unconscious before with a normal good ol punch..

Currently, Strange is supposed to be getting depowered, which could provide an explanation for that. IIRC, he's taken attacks from GR just fine in their past encounters.

Just check his respect thread. I'm sure you'll find something in there.

Doom will be owned by a bloodlusted Surfer. Hell, strange could beat him and wipe the entire galaxy with his silver face.

Also, because they are inconsistently applied, "autoshields" seem to border on PIS.
