Try and beat Absorbing Man sans PIS/CIS

Started by tkitna5 pages

I was going to say Leech, but what would it matter if his powers were taken away as he's still a pretty big dude that could still beat Leech up. I guess the same would go for Rogue, but I was wondering if they would cancel each others powers out.

actually, this is a pretty good challenge. Here's a non obvious one-

Husk, from the former generation X. Start the battle out in the form of quartz or something strong, but brittle- engage absorbing man so he takes it's properties.

back off, shift to adamantium or something that increases strength, then shatter absorbing man with a long distance strike, like a tree trunk through the torso.

That won't kill him permanently, but it's enough to disable him for a win.

Would someone like blink or nightcrawler teleporting parts of Creel's body off count as a win? I don't really see how he can absorb that energy, but I could be wrong.

If AB absorbed the Lasso's enchantment, it wouldn't effect him, his enchantment would cancel it out.

I think any sturdy character that works in a certain element would have pretty good success against him. Someone like Surfer, Poison Ivy, or Green Lantern. If he turns into their element they would probably win because of their superior mastery.

He'd probably change into anti-matter. And that'd suck.

Wouldn't he die if he did that?

So long pig does Ragman take the win?

Seems like it. I can't think of a way to counter it but someone else may.

Why would he die? Does anti-matter destroy itself?

RAGMAN FTWband

Well, if it were created in a state of matter (our "positive" universe) then touching matter would make him explosive. (total opposites or something of that nature)

Not 'explosive' persay....

It just so happens that if matter comes into contact with antimatter, it transforms into pure energy.

So perhaps, becomming antimatter would only turn Absorbing man into energy?

Exploding doesn't mean death, he's exploded millions of times and reformed...all while fighting.

So the only way to beat Absorbing Man in this situation is a high level, disembodied telepath that can destroy his mind?

That or RAGMAN

I refuse to absorb any information on Ragman so I just keep thinking you guys are talking about Geno from Super Mario RPG. Rotate D-pad!

in your sig you do realise you don't take thor's hat,you just knock it off 😛

But it came off 'cause I jumped him. In the confusion, I take it and run.

I'm thinking about doing a series of sigs where I steal and collect various hats, thus gaining power. Like a ridiculous highlander.
