B. Surfer fights Thanos the way he fights most people. Energy blasts. OnlY Thanos is approximately 40 leagues above Surfer, Superman, any top tier and thus said approach won't workt eh way it does on other heroes or villains.

On no you don't really think this do you? You can't possible for real in honestly think either of these points are anywhere nearly correct.

well the earth weighs around 6 x 10^24 tons which is 6,000,000 quintillion...thor lifted the midgar serpent which is at least comparable to the weight of the earth... so if you want to use that number of 60 quintillion as the max for superman you're free too....

As soon as you start bringing celestial feats into the mix, yeah, "quintillion" becomes an almost quaint number.

No. the midgard serpent didn't weigh nearly as much as the earth did. Thor also was on a ship which was pulling him along with the serpent. Feat invalid.

I was just going to say the same thing...

He has even tried to use speed against Thanos... and got caught.

😂

Although it never said how much the snake actually weighed (not that I saw anyway), the second part is ridicules.

He did? Is this when he flew directly at Thanos or was there another instance?

Uhmmmm.... that makes Superman look pretty weak. You know what? I think the writers of comics need to be fired. Or how about just merging both Marvel and DC??? I wish they would, then we could see who the true heavy hitters are.

I sure as hell never saw Surfer try to use speed as an advantage against thanos.

In the feat itself, the snake appeared to take up MUCH less volume, not to mention the fact that the Earth is much more dense than snake-flesh.

However; in 'myth,' the serpent weighed as much as the Earth, hence where that belief comes from.

The one where he got killed.
He flew at him shooting blasts, and then Thanos uppercut him (because Surfer can't affect him with blasts).

this is why they should curb comic strength feats to something a little more manageable heroes don't need planet moving feats to be impressive

Nope. Norrin's taken worse physical punishment than any punch from normal Supes could come close to equaling.

And no, it's entirely correct. Surfer fails miserably against Thanos because Thanos is probably at least twice as powerful than any top tier. And that's a low estimate.

And that was different from any of the other fights they have had where surfer fought like an idiot? i didn't see any creative use of speed.

He flew directly at Thanos...and shot blasts at him... generic blasts that won't take out top tier bricks.

There wasn't any speedblitz there.

I don't recall anything like that in the myth. He encircled the world (completely underwater) and his only feats involved poison, flooding the planet and weighing substantially more than a cat.

Surfer has beaten foes far beyond thanos. Surfer jobbers to Thanos. Surfer has also been harmed by lightning. Superman certainly can harm surfer. Superman can absorb all of the light of the anti sun. Surfer went mad from one lil star absorbtion. You see, if you look at them both, They really can beat the crap out of each other.

Really? It's easily possible that I'm mistaken. I just thought that the Jörmungandr was described as equaling the Earth's weight.

Surfer's full out blasts have shown that they can't hurt Thanos anyway...

That must be why Surfer has KO'ed Hulk... with less than the effort he put against Thanos...

I never said blitz, I said 'speed'. Trying to knock Thanos off balance with power and speed, is what it looked like.

Which matters little when he can't beat Thanos. That's terrible logic as well.

No he doesn't job, he can't do anything to him in the first place.

Surfer was harmed by lighting... when at the start of the comic, Surfer couldn't even walk, and Wonder Man beat up on him for like 10 pages, without KO'ing him... Pissed Wonder Man.
And in the time Surfer came back to fight, there is no way he can grow to full power.

You also forgot the time Surfer took a cosmic bolt from Korvac to no effect that would have destroyed a planet...

Surfer absorbed a bunch of energy from a red giant...
And absorbing anything is irrelevant right now...
