Storm could suffocate Herc. It would not kill him permanently, but it would knock him out for some time.
Major down for Herc is his lack of long range attacks, so i don' see him doing anything useful against Storm.
Except chuck huge pillars and statues at her. Or leaping at her and knocking her out. The guy fights Skrull gods and Ikarus. Storm is a chump compared.

It's not so much about general power and might, but about particular powers in a particular fight. With fitting power matches, a mere mortal might be successful where a god failed. Ofcourse Storm is no Kly'bn (hope the spelling is right) or Ikaris, but one big advantage of her's in this particular fight is, that Herc's only way of getting her is throwing something or jumping through exactly the element she controls best and with which she proved being able to perform "godly" effects. Once the thrown object leaves Herc's hands or Herc leaves solid ground there's no further force directing the path but aircurrents and gravity, so ...
Between her and Herc, I highly doubt she'll put him down for a KO. Eventually she'll get tired and Herc would move it for the kill. He needs to land one shot at her for a fatal one wound to occur.

👆 That's the post I was looking for that sums it up. She can drag it out by flying but she's got nothing that will put him down for the count. Sooner or later, he'll hit her or just barely graze her and its over.

thunderclap?
Originally posted by wannabeI see it just like her getting hit with thors lighting. A clap from a demi gods who specializes in power.Don't get me wrong, in a comic it might work for whatever dubious reasons, but if she's written reasonably to her full capacity i don't see a thunderclap do anything to her.

Well, fact is he can be suffocated, he cant fly and he's no energy based ranged attacks. Suffocating him is rather easy for her to perform, so even if it takes hours it won't tire her enough to fail.
The question as i see it is: Can Herc do something to Storm easier than she can do something to him? Since her powerset (played out reasonably) is pretty close to a worst case (non cosmic) scenario for a brick like Herc, i'd give this win to Storm. Man, she just has to levitate him and he'd be practically helpless ... like any breathing brick would/should be.An attack that is pretty much nothing but a front of compressed air ... against Storm ... brilliant Idea! 😉

How is she going to suffocate him? If this is a closed arena fight I could see something like that but then again in that environment, it gives him a good chance of catching her with several leaps.
For this fight he does have range attacks. His environment. He can't fly but he can leap pretty high with rocks and pillars in arm and use those as projectiles in the air. He needs but to land one hit and she's dead meat.
Originally posted by KingD19Cut him with wind blades, seriously?
Herc can leap about a hundred feet straight up, Storm can fly so much higher it's ridiculous. And she can easily suffocate him, surround him in a vortex, which would suck all the air from his lungs. She could also cut him with wind blades, or hit him with enough lightning to fry him.
Who has these wind blades cut before?
Also, Herc is Herc; Storm will end up sleeping with him.
