Genis allowed himself to be beat by Zemo. Genis beat Sentry's ass all over the place, and destroyed multiple planets, all while holding back. And Sentry has owned Terrax easier than Surfer could ever dream of. Hell, Tyros (depowered Terrax) lasted pages upon pages against Surfer. Sentry put the real Terrax down in one page, easily. When Atlas beat Genis, it was because Genis was being controlled by Purple Man, who made him shut off his cosmic awareness. Genis even says later on that he wouldve seen Atlas' attack coming a mile away if his CA wasnt turned off. Genis' cosmic awareness is also so attuned that he sensed that the HoM universe was fake, and seemed to rip a hole right out of it, showing he was more powerful than HoM Scarlet Witch.
Rick Jones doesnt know jack shit about what Genis is actually capable of, that was clearly shown in the Walker arc, and even so, i dont remember Rick ever saying Surfer > Genis, i just remember Genis threatening Surfer and Surfer backing off. AND that was a much weaker, much more inexperienced version of Genis that's fighting here.
And Genis destroyed the multiverse. Entropy just brought him there. It was clearly shown and especially stated on-panel that Genis was the one that provided the energy to destroy the universe, which means he did it. He also did alot of the work recreating the universe as well. So it's more like Genis gets 99.99% credit for destroying the universe, and 50% credit for recreating it.
Also, as Mr Master pointed out, Genis is an omniversal telepath. He embarassed the Overmind in telepathy after breaking out of Purple Man's mind control, and the Overmind is so powerful he telepathically linked everyone on earth at the same time a few issues later. Surfer doesnt have anything against telepathy on that level.
And oh my god please dont say Surfer can dump Genis in the microverse. I saw someone say that and that's absurd. Genis uses access to the microverse by far better than anyone. That's his forte.
And you think Surfer creating a black hole is impressive? Dude, Genis was casually creating multiple black holes through not only space, but time, at the same time. Hell he accidentally sent Songbird to the future and the rest of the T-Bolts to the past. And all subconsciously on top of that.
And you're talking about being cheapshotted by Atlas, one of the strongest Marvel heroes to date, as if it's such a bad thing. You wanna bring up Surfer's bad showings? Karnak with a brick? Having a hard time with Spider-Man? Getting owned by Black Panther? Need i go on?
What Radioactive Man says actually does count for alot. I mean, the guy is a scientist, specializing in energy and everything, has fought Thor and Surfer level beings on multiple occasions and has done very well, and on top of all that, HE WAS STUDYING GENIS FOR WEEKS. And even though he's fought guys on Surfer's level of power before and done good, he still said Photon's power was beyond his comprehension. That counts for a lot.
And Rewmac, first off, im sorry for the personal attack. Sometimes i just get frustrated and i overreact and i apologize for that. But the feats in Surfer's respect thread, EVERYTHING there Genis could duplicate, and easier than Surfer did at that. And by the way, some of those things arent even worth mentioning...Rogue passing out from touching Surfer? Dude, Songbird who doesnt even absorb powers like Rogue touched Genis and it nearly gave her a heart attack, if Rogue touched Genis she'd probably explode.
Oh, and all these feats while he was Photon? There all while he was distracted, aka not able to show his true potential. And when you think about it, this is actually just Sentry and Genis vs Surfer and Firelord, cuz Stardust is made of energy, therefore his ass is getting dispersed all over the multiverse in the first second by Genis.
And just for the record, im not hating on Surfer or ranting about Genis. I like Surfer alot too, he's my 3rd favorite cosmic dude behind Photon and Firelord, he's just out of his league against Photon.
Genis >>> Surfer
And Genis and Sentry win.
Oh, and one more thing. What happenned the last time the Power Cosmic faced off against the Odinforce, aka Surfer vs Odin? Oh that's right, Surfer got owned in one casual backhand. Completely knocked the hell out. What happenned the last time Genis went up against the Odinforce, aka King Thor, Odin's equal? Genis embarassed his ass, took his shot laughing and dished out his own making KT scream out in pain and was down for the rest of the issue and the beginning of the next one. Yep yep.
