If Surfer's smart and uses his speed advantage, maybe. Despero isn't Thanos. I realize he's above top-tier herald types, but it wouldn't be a curbstomp.

Agreed...but I'd give it to Despero more times than not, though. 😬

Despero is quickly becoming over rated ... his durability is far less than the likes of Superman, his strength may be a little higher and his TP is pretty good ... but as soon as he comes up against a powerful character who isn't effected by TP he should get beaten fairly easily.

Surfer wins 6-7/10 due to good showings against telepaths.

What speed advantage? You mean the speed advantage that couldn't help him beat two bricks like Thor and Thanos?

I see Despero doing to Surfer what he did to people who are physically stronger than Surfer.

Durability far less? I hope your are talking about JLA 118..

Despero is a poor jobber. Surfer in a cakewalk.

I think you don't understand the meaning of "jobing".

I'm talking about a few instances spread out over many years.

Yes but Surfer has more than a few low durability showings spread out over the course of his career also(not low as in streetlevel of course, but definitely A LOT lower than his average).

Actually...he has some lower then streetlevel, such as being ko'ed by a brick being flung at his head, and being stabbed by a thug with a knife.

I've heard you mention the "brick" and "knife" events on numerous occasions, please tell me when it happened so I can check them out for myself, because something about them sounds a bit off.

Also, being downed by lightning is hardly a streetlevel durability showing. Besides that, when he was hit by Storms lightning he was....

A. Severely weakened already.

B. Focused on something else(it was a cheapshot).

c. Fine moments later.

The brick was from Karnak. Still a low showing.

The knife was from a magic user. Magic... not some thug, but the ultimate plot device of Marvel, hardly a low showing.

Wait, you mean THOSE are the instances she's always bringing up? In that case, we might as well take PC Superboys durability down a notch, since he was hurt by Karate Kid(which I see as basically the equivalent of the brick incident, seeing as how the brick was thrown by Karnak). Also, we should take down Supes durability a notch, since he was taken down by a bullet(even though it was made of Kryptonite).

If Despero is not all that durable, Surfer may take him. The Surfer is certainly more resourceful than Despero, he is fast and without PIS he can be a beast.

The truth is that I see some of the top tiers taking some wins against Despero if there is no PIS.

Yeah. That speed advantage.

Just like the one that Flash always uses to beat Deathstroke. Or the one that Superman uses to stomp...well....ninety percent of the fights he's in.
