The problem is that you will be hard pressed to find a high tier character that possess all of SS's abilities or to the degree he cna do them.

He can do far more than superman can. He can match a GL in versatility but has a higher starting physical base.

Plus he out of his class he is the one who possess the highest speed and reaction times.

You combine all that and you have a hard time just flat out finding anyone who is matching all of his abilities.

imo the most overrated character can be superman. now i give him full credit for what he does but dc gets ridicuolus in the bigger sotries where superman saves the day. he should be insignificant to some of these threats but he gets to kill them or stop them. granted with help but its ridiculous sometimes.

When has Surfers traveling speed ever translated to combat speed?

His versatility, while impressive, isn't to the lv of a GL. At least thats how he's commonly portrayed. He usually uses the PC to shoot blast, very rarely, if ever is he portrayed the way KMC portrays him.

Hell no. You take out the PIS and Surfer's a freakin beast. But just so everyone knows, I don't consider many of the people you listed as being overrated either. Most of them have the feats to support their fans claims(though probably not the claims of the fanboys, but the same is true of Surfer).

Surfer docent have much fanboys on KMC to begin with, so i cant see him being overrated to begin with.

Haha... yeah right.

Surfer has a lot of fans i.g. goober, soljer, and myself..for the most part we don't overrate SS, and we do use logical explanations for his wins.

but he docent have fanBoys like the hulk wolverine and yes even Superman imo..

Which lantern?

From what I've seen, the lanterns are very suspectible to speedblitzing and "sneak attacks" I don't think it's possible to kill Silver Surfer in the same way you can kill a lot of the Green Lanterns. I.E sniping them, like a certain Sinestro Corps member did. Silver Surfer's durability and strength is generally higher than that of Hal and Kyle's.

He displayed some pretty decent combat speed the first time he met the Hulk. A more recent example would be during his fight with Ravenous. He's clearly moving around Ravenous, making it hard for him to keep up.

Surfer isn't overrated. Lanterns are underrated however.

Compared to other characters in his tier, such as Gl's(Hal, Kyle, Alan), Thor, Superman, etc, do you find Surfer overrated? People talk a lot about Superman being overrated, but how about Surfer?

no, Surfer is not overrated... alot of the time he's as good as any reasonable person says he is...

Also, moving...

I think Alan Scott is underrated.

Space Jesus is in no way over-rated.

He's never discussed enough to be under or overrated.

Exactly, it's been ages since I've seen him in a popular vs thread.

It's like he doesn't deserve to be set up against the other herald level characters!

G'nort is the most underrated lantern ever...
