The Ultimate Hero

Let's say that you learned that a very dangerous and powerful high-herald level villain is planning to attack your city and that's all the info you have, and you can only call one hero from the list below to come defend your city, who would you call and why?

Superman - Earth's Adopted Son

Hal Jordan - The Personification of Willpower

Silver Surfer - Protector of the Cosmos

Thor - The God Who Walks Amongst Men

Not Superman. Probably not Hal. Just as much power/versatility as the Marvels, but also more noticeable weaknesses in both. It would be possible to get unlucky with a villain who could exploit them.

I'd flip a coin between the Marvel duo. No glaring weaknesses in either, and loads of power/versatility.

Gotta go with surfer. He is the out and out most powerful and since i dont know the villain, its best to be on the safe side

I call on the Silver Surfer.
He can materialize any object or food that the city needs.
Can heal the injured or evolve the people of the city to super beings and fight the EVIL together. 🤣

The abilities:
Power Cosmic enable Surfer to do these.
1.Amp his strength
2.Move in light-speed
3.Energy blasts
4.Very Durable to any assault, physically or energy projectiles
5.Resistance to Telepathic assaults.

My other heroes listing:
Silver Surfer
Thor
Superman
GL- funny if that evil herald counters his energy base ring. 😂

Great scenarios thread idea OP!

Just for his speed, yeah, probably Surfer. I feel like there's no drop in power/versatility between Surfer and Thor though, and there's certain types of villains that Thor would actually do better against. His energy soak is pretty much unmatched in all of comics, for example (Sub-Skyfather and below, of course)

...I'm gonna be stupid and say Superman.

I mean, I'd pick Silver Surfer, but he's too much of a pacifist. He holds back too much...otherwise he'd just do "I could squash them with a gesture. I could expand the orbits of their atoms until they phased out of reality. I could boil their fluids, crumple their machines, build singularities in their eyes - all without effort." and win nearly every fight with ease.

Thor is the same way. Rulk fight for instance, he chose not to use the Odinforce. WTF not?

Superman holds back, true. But he does what he needs to do to win, regardless.

Supes is good but he's got too many exploitable weaknesses and not enough versatility for an undisclosed threat.

Hal's good too, but being a human who's powers are dependant on willpower has it's own share of potential problems.

Thor would be a great choice if it weren't for his "warrior's spirit" that causes him to take serious lumps before he uses his hammer for anything useful.

And that leaves...

Surfer. Power, speed, versatility, Surfer's got it all. It might take a minute before he gets serious and stops trying to talk the villain into leaving peacefully, but once he gets past that point there's no one in his tier that you'd rather have in your corner unless you know specific details about your foe that would make one of the others a better choice(like a vulnerability to magic or something to that effect).

Well SS gonna protect me and my city of personal females slaves. So why would he hold back for my account 🙁 and of course Enyalus your invited. lolz

In that case, I'd say screw my city and order Supes to come to Vason's city and chill with Surfer, offering double protection. Could have Surfer generate a bunch of yellow sunlight and amp him up. 😉 While they're fighting, you and I will be handling the women.

k no more homo jokes durband from me

Yeah i agree with goober thors warrior mentality will seriously hinder him. He is likely to slug it out with the guy first causing huge damage to the city and putting people in danger. Its only after thor has gone physically toe to tote and failed that he will start thinking of using his more exotic powers. By that time part of the city wud be destroyed.

Did I mention they're females with penis? Just like some of girls on KMC does*
^^ I ask SS to transform my gender, so that make it up k?

Aw, that's messed up. I'm taking my Superman and going home. 😛

Any of these characters generally holds back, tries to talk it out, or fights below peak before cutting loose. I don't think we should be allowed to invoke CIS against one character but not all of them.

Obviously I'm in agreement with Surfer, though there are possible villains that Thor would be more suited to handle, but we don't know which villain it is or their power set.

I accounted for all that 😉 .

Don't get too cocky, goob. Just because you're favorite character defines his tier and leads it in total power doesn't mean you can gloat. Thor does lead the lifetime series something like 2-0.

Superman is king of this thread. He sells more comics.
