Proof that Surfer's known Gladiator "for a long time" or proof of Surfer discovering the weakness in a past encounter?

I'm sorry.

Your scans simply don't measure up, there's no proof that Surfer would be able to discover the weakness of someone he's just met without getting into a brief skirmish.

Sort through this. I am. I love Curt Swan. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing.

Wow, you already looked through it? You're super-smart. I already did too, but it was so I'm giving it another go through.

PC supes clears this four times without sweating.

Detecting a weakness is just a specific use of Cosmic Awareness and Surfer's used his CA to pick up info on plenty of people and things(including racial traits) that he didn't know about before. Hell why do you think he has it in the first place?

You're reaching at this point...

I saw it when it was created...

It's from a planet in a universe different from his that no longer exists. When DCU matter transmutators tried this against S-Prime during IC, it didn't work.

To clarify, SMP doesn't have a K-nite weakness. His Krypton was swallowed by the native Red Sun - no Kryptonite to be weak against.

And actually, I think FP Gladiator would give PC Supes a better fight than Sentry would. A lot better of a fight.

Oh, you're quite the old-schooler aren't you? I don't know, I read through that thread again. I think I might re-read through the SS and Thanos respect threads too, but I don't think I'll change my mind. PC Supes was a crazy-ass, ghetto-beast. JMHO.
Oh and I changed my mind, PC Supes vs Surfer goes back to 10/10.
Supes clears it easily.

Surfer easily beats Supes 10/10... see how easy that was?

Looks like Supes clears this.

Nope. He stops at 3...

Surfer will kill him in 10 seconds or less. forget using cosmic awareness to use Knite, he'll use it to get Muhammad Ali on him again.

Yep, after reading the respect threads, I say Supes clears it. Don't be irrational.

From the forum rules...

"No Bias Claims
"Batman can beat Thor because he's cooler!" That's an example of how not to debate. We would like to see the rationale behind any claims that one character can beat the other rather than a claim based on popularity and subjective bias.
Also, we insist that all claims be backed up by evidence from canon sources. If you claim that Spiderman is stronger than Superman, then you have to prove it. "

I don't think PCS is cooler than anyone else. I also don't think that I have to back up my claims concerning him considering so many others have already done so in this very forum. I am not saying noone can possibly beat PC Superman. I'm saying that none of the combatants listed could in my opinion. Are you trying to make a case for yourself regarding your recent post in the "Rules and Debating Discussion Thread?"
Ref your post there on Sept. 27th;
" Barring that, we need stricter policies in regards to supporting your case with evidence for those posters who have a tendency to point others to respect threads or cite feats and abilities for characters rather than scans on the grounds of the feat/ability being "common knowledge that everyone should know". All to often I've looked into "common knowledge" only to discover that's actually a common misconception brought about by a misrepresented source or outright speculation."
If so, then find somewhere else to go to because I'm not biting. This is PC Superman, arguably the most famous and iconic comic book character in existence. It's my opinion that he would clear this gauntlet. I'm not pulling every comic I have out of their jackets, stuffing them into a scanner just to prove a point to you. Walk on home, little man.

And what counter do you have for Supes's vulnerability to K-nite, red sunlight, and solar energy absorption that suggest Surfer couldn't beat him?

I don't have to make a case for it because it's already part of the forum rules. In the discussion thread I was just pointing out that we need stricter policies on it because there are entirely too many posters like yourself who demand proof while outright refusing to provide any of their own and then accuse others of being irrational.

So you admit that you're flatly refusing to abide by forum rules then...

So you deny that part of your motivation for keeping this argument going is the post ref above? I think you have an agenda. Perhaps there's a rule that pertains to this. Could you pull it for me?

Yes I deny it. I've been having similar arguments since long before I ever made that post. Ask pretty much anyone and they'll tell you that I've posted the "No Biased Claims" whenever it's applicable on a pretty frequent basis for quite a while now. And it's funny because pretty much every time I do I get the same indignant reaction that I'm getting from you. In fact if you run a search for post made by me that feature the words "No biased Claims" you're likely to turn up quite a few results stretching back for months.

But even if you were right about that post being the motivation for this discussion(which you're not), it wouldn't change the fact that you're blatantly setting yourself and PC Superman above the forum rules in this debate.

"So you admit that you're flatly refusing to abide by forum rules then..."

No I'm just saying that even though I like this site, and have been visiting it for three years now, I'm not going to damage my collection for anyone on it. I pointed you to the respect thread, which in this case, I believe is relevant. Go to it or not. If you would have kept quiet, I wouldn't have argued anymore. If I thought you had a good argument, I would have ceded the point to you. Neither happened. SHHHH!
