Originally posted by The Great GalenSuperman can escape a black hole. But unamped Surfer fighting Red Shift inside a black hole, pre-Annihilation upgrade, while diverting his energy to heal Alicia Masters, keep her armor functioning and guide his board through hyperspace, is a better durability feat than unamped Superman ever had. Which is why I think Surfer's durability > Superman's. I can't recall anybody faring well against Thanos who is weaker than Silver Surfer. Name me some. The Sun-Eater explosion is overrated here on the forums. I think Thanos' observations are more reliable than a reporter's. But I'll agree with your interpretation that Superman's heat vision can exceed that of a star's. Doesn't quite matter against Surfer though.
Superman also escaped a blackhole, and I still don't see why T-VO wouldn't work on SS. My point was that other opponents have faired better agaisnt Thanos then SS has, opponents who are IMO lesser foes. I read the arc with the sun eater explosion, it's not something really difficult to grasp but I'm open to other interpretations of it. Having hits HV stated by a reported is just to give a indication of how powerful it is, like when Thanos stated SS's beams could cause a black hole as a residule effect.
I need to reread Unilord saga. Out of curiousity, how many people here have actually read the Unilord story?
Originally posted by The Great GalenSilver Surfer actually has a better on-panel feat of combat superspeed than Superman does. In fact, a lot of characters do. Silver Surfer has also faced speedsters before. But I know that neither matters to you.
Why would he though, its a mutable point because the retional behind it is a bit convuluted. Supes has the application and movement to fight like a speedster while SS does not....I'm going by feats and not what"SS should be able to do".
