Silver Surfer vs Beta Ray Bill

Darthgoober: It seems we have very differing memories of Thor's fights with Firelord and Airwalker respectively. I'll have to read them again before continuing on those points.

Thor has always been much more than just Mjolnir, whereas because of Odin's granting of a 60 second reverse-curse on BRB, BRB has always been defined by Stormbreaker alone.

Yes, but IIRC, against Wonderman he messes with his ionic phase and he simply drains Hulk of his gamma energies. Thor has never resorted to bypassing their physical might to beat those two in particular.

It doesn't have to be as outlandish as SvFL for it to qualify as such, it just got the name because it's the most well known and recognized instance of it. SvFL is defined as...

[b]Spiderman vs. Firelord, or SvFL, is a shorthand that refers to any time when a character performs a feat that their powers and skills should be blatantly insufficient for, and is not repeated or is rarely repeated again relative to the character's overall established career, as well as the character's opponents' established showings. In statistical terms, it is an outlier, something that is radically beyond the character's established capabilities. For example, Spiderman defeating a herald of Galactus is a case of the SvFL exemption; however, Batman being able to sneak up on Superman is not because he has done so frequently under different writers.

Now correct me if I'm remembering wrong, but didn't Thor own BRB then beat Surfer immediately afterwards, then beat both BRB AND Surfer, then later the same day beat on Surfer and Warlock and go on to thrash Maxam and Drax w/Power Gem not long after that? You yourself said that Surfer was more durable than Thor, so how can you see Thor withstanding assaults from ALL those people over that short of a period of time as being "consistent" with how he's normally written? Especially when Drax w/Power Gem gave him one Hell of a fight on his own just a few issues earlier? [/B]

I don't see an unhinged Thor beating Silver Surfer and Adam Warlock as radically beyond his established capabilities. He already proved proved superior to Silver Surfer in their first encounter.

As for your memory of the events, I think there was more time between Thor fighting AW/SS and the Infinity Watch. I'd also like to point out that nobody was trying to kill Thor, they were only trying to subdue him. Also, in nearly all of those fights, Thor initiated the fights with cheap shots. Consistency is not the standard that governs PIS. The standard is a radical departure. Considering the beatdowns that Thor has taken before, his performance is not a radical departure, e.g. fighting through being blasted several times by Celestials, being beaten on by Surtur and still fighting at near full strength after only being given a few minutes respite, etc.

And I think mentioning Thor matching PG Drax who was subconsciously drawing on the PG the entire time and being given an opportunity to do so throughout their fight supports Thor's showing against AW/SS more than hurts it.

Cool I'll see if I can track them down, because it's been a while since I read those issues too.

But here's the thing, Surfer's statement was made in regards to Thor's hammer. If Stormbreaker's equal to Mjolnir and BRB had his hammer when Tyrant labled Surfer as the most powerful of the group, it means that Surfer's statement from the first fight no longer applies because a hammer that's equal to Mjolnir ISN'T more powerful than he.

Something else I just noticed. Surfer's statement from the first fight happens after Surfer's successfully seperated Thor from Mjolnir with a force field after failing in his initial attempts to do so with bolts of cosmic force. Thor's amazed that the hammer doesn't return to his hand and Surfer says "I have seen his mallet's magic! It is truely mightier than my cosmic force! Then why should it stay out of his reach unless...?". Now maybe it's just me, but that doesn't actually sound like Surfer's admitting inferiority to Thor's hammer but rather an inferiority to Odin's enchantment that causes Mjolnir to return to Thor's hand. Thor hadn't done anything in that fight to make Surfer think that his hammer was more powerful than the Power Cosmic, Hell Surfer pretty much had the fight WON when he said that.

He absolutely beat the bejesus out of Wonderman during the Infinity Crusade and had to heal him to keep him from dying and he one shotted Hulk with his surfboard in their first encounter. I wasn't talking about the times he exploited their vulnerability to the manipulation to their internal energies.

Thor's having high end feats isn't enough to justify the arc. It's not just based on Thor's showings, it's also based on the past showings of his opponents...

Spiderman vs. Firelord, or SvFL, is a shorthand that refers to any time when a character performs a feat that their powers and skills should be blatantly insufficient for, and is not repeated or is rarely repeated again relative to the character's overall established career, as well as the character's opponents' established showings.

For example, Spiderman defeating a herald of Galactus is a case of the SvFL exemption; however, Batman being able to sneak up on Superman is not because he has done so frequently under different writers.

Let's keep in mind that aside from beating Firelord, Spidey's also taken on and taken shots from Hulk, Juggs, Absorbing Man, Surfer, Thor, and who knows who the Hell else. Surfer and the rest have more than enough showings to their credit to place their losing to Thor as badly as they did one right after the other like that as "outside the norm".

Again, you yourself have said that Surfer's more durable than Thor, would you support the statement that Surfer could withstand assaults from BRB, then an exact double, then both BRB and the double, then the double and Warlock, then Drax and Maxam? If Surfer can't and Surfer's more durable than Thor, then there's no way Thor should have been able to.

You keep on getting hung up on the Warlock/Surfer incident but that's only one part of the big picture that qualifies it as SvFL. The average portrayal of pretty much ALL Thor's opponents from that arc place them as being a lot closer to Thor in power than they were portrayed as being. It's right on par with the way Hulk used to take on the entire Avengers rosters when it consisted of 4 or 5 people that should give him Hell one on one, or the way fights where Supes/MM/WW beat multiple members of the Justice League that can split even with them.

Oh it's absolutely acceptable for the period in which it was written because Surfer was being written as depowered at the time(both by his imprisonment and the sonic shark). My only problem comes when people try to use it as proof that classic Thor is outright more powerful than current Surfer as opposed to being more powerful than a depowered version. Hell during that time period Thor, Surfer, and every other character in existence had radically fluctuating power levels from issue to issue.

Well Loki used his power to amp the Silver Surfer but like I said, at that time Silver Surfer and Thor fluctuated like other characters at that time period. Thor was off fighting the likes of Galactus etc. on his own. So like I said, that statement is perfectly understandable at that time.

I don’t believe Classic Thor is more powerful than Current Silver Surfer. That statement shouldn’t be applied as the sole base of someone’s decision. It’s simply inaccurate in my opinion. Throw in the fact that Current Silver Surfer also received an upgrade from Galactus recently, and it’s not right.

But what are these occasions of Thor winning that you're referring to? Surfer won that first fight, he only lost during Blood and Thunder.

Silver Surfer never won the first fight. He downed Thor by an onslaught, while separating him from Mjolnir, but as he said, it was evident that Thor held back majority of his power, as he got up, and shattered the barrier in on hit etc. Silver Surfer didn’t win that first fight at all.

Yup, I’m referring to Blood and Thunder. I certainly don’t think it would be that bad of a stomp. It would be a more even fight between Classic Thor and Classic Silver Surfer, but I see Thor edging out the majority.

Originally posted by darthgoober
I disagree in that I think Surfer would be the one to pull a small majority and I don't think Thor has anything short of the Godblast that Surfer couldn't match, but wholeheartedly agree with the rest.

Well, it’s you’re opinion, and argument for Silver Surfer can definitely but in my opinion Thor takes the win.

Originally posted by darthgoober
Again I agree. I've never taken the instance at face value, I only pointed out that more recent statements made by Thor counter older statements made by Surfer. Surfer's just as prone to underestimate his own abilities and exaggerate as Thor is.

Well like I said, the statement Silver Surfer made back then can be seen as valid, but it’s “not” applicable later on and shouldn’t be the sole bases by which a person bases this fight on. It’s simply wrong.

I agree. Like I said, both are known for it.

Originally posted by darthgoober
I agree. My point was never that Surfer's statement was more valid, just that the two character's relative level of power isn't as consistently portrayed as people make it out to be. That's why I just said that Surfer's statement was offset by Thor's(meaning they balance out). I don't hold either statement to be "true" while the other's "wrong".

Fair enough.

I don't see how you came to that conclusion. Because if you recognize that Thor's power exceeds Mjolnir, then you should hold Surfer's statement against him even more. Because he only compared his Power Cosmic to Mjolnir and assessed it to be superior, yet, he had not taken into account Thor's own immortal power. I'm not going to blame him for not doing so, because Thor didn't let it loose and has only done so in certain situations; i.e. Galactus, Celestials, Blood and Thunder, Mangog-buster, Durok-buster, etc.

IIRC, Surfer had witnessed Mjolnir's power, he and his board get smacked by it and his blasts get absorbed by it. I think his statement clearly indicates his own assessment and his surprise comes only because he didn't realize that Loki's magic was responsible for the forcefield's strength. Loki has, in the past, kept Thor away from Mjolnir using the exact same technique, except it was a box-shaped forcefield and not a globe-shaped one.

Oh, those. Not to nitpick, but doesn't Surfer state the wounds are superficial? And it doesn't surprise me that Surfer used the board to one-shot Savage Hulk. But if you want to pick specific instances of mutual opponents, Thor has one-shotted classic Abomination and one-shotted Loki whereas Surfer failed to do so.

[/B]

I'm not just using his high-end feats of durability, even though he's consistently been portrayed with extreme durability, e.g. not being one or even two-shotted by Korvac as opposed to everyone else, to name another one. I'm using his average feats. Blood and Thunder is consistent. Now since you seem to be focusing on this, let's do consider his stamina and recovery. Because every time an opponent like Wrecker or Absorbing Man or even sometimes Ulik actually ends up knocking out Thor, minutes later (if not moments later), he gets back up and pummels them. When I get home, I can throw dozens of scans like this out at you. His stamina and recovery is godly. No pun intended. So when you have Thor moving from fight to fight, I don't see the incredulity in it, because here, he doesn't even sustain enough damage to be knocked out. And as you said before, it's a while before he encounters the Infinity Watch.

As I state before, radical departures govern PIS. And your focus on his consistent showings is apropos in governing radical departures. But you're ignoring the most appropriate source for his consistency. And that's his fights against Heralds. Because it's quite clear that Thor's been portrayed as consistently superior against all the Heralds he's fought, including his past confrontation with Silver Surfer. So why is Blood and Thunder such a radical departure? Consider: Thor's been shown to be superior to Heralds in all of his past fights when (i) he's holding back, (ii) he hasn't unleashed his full might and (iii) the Herald isn't holding back. And in Blood and Thunder, Thor is (i) insanely unhinged, (ii) keeps getting a cheap-shot in to start each fight, (iii) unleashes his full unfettered might, and (iv) none of his foes want to kill him. So? I simply don't understand the incredulity.

So let me get this strait, Surfer fought in wormhole? Or are you simply making up reasons, to bring about distinguishing factors between the two?

sigh. So this is what it feels like arguing with the mentally impaired. U read my previous post and somehow comprehended that i believed surfer fought in a wormhole? U really saw an implication of that somewhere? lmao. Damn ur not even trying to make sense anymore.

One simply sucks you into the event horizon,Keeps you there while your infinitely compressed, and the later simply serves to teleport you out? You are aware, that an event horizon exists within every black hole. Its nature is to pull you in, and can vary well displace you at its other end, once it runs its course?

Yes basically a blackhole sucks u into its centre where u are crushed. This was clearly the purpose of stardust blackhole. In the case of a wormhole, a blackhole is its entry point and the "other end" is the corresponding white hole which expels u in a different location. U suggested that stardusts blackhole may have been intended to BFR asteroth which would mean it was a wormhole. For this to be true however he would have to create a corresponding whitehole at another location. There was no indication of this and so ur claim is baseless and false.

Maybe “Uve just gone from sounding simply sounding” and ponder if people “still use sentence structures” Little Dummy?

????...........Errr, didnt u know that when ur trying to use personal attacks u should at least be coherent? lol. Rather poor attempt.Keep em coming though

Riiiggghhttt. Twisting the gravity, in a the black hole will all of a sudden discriminate and choose who will get pulled in. As if such claims where specified, or the nature of the black hole would act in such manner. Yet the surrounding debris is being pulled in with greater ease then before.

Maybe you should go back into thinking, its rotating counter clock wise.

lol.I claimed it was moving counter clockwise? Seriously i now were pretty far along in this thread ur new strategy of formulating nonsense out of thin air and claiming i made such arguments is weak even for u.

Further twisting the gravity of the blackhole DOES indicate that it will operate in a different way from normal. Asteroth twisted the gravity of the blackhole so that it wouldnt affect her but would affect bill and stardust. Their is a clear on panel portrayal of the uniqueness of this gravity twist.
When Asteroth says "show u something of the cosmos i will" She causes some pieces of debris to rush towards bill to be affected by gravity differently and causes them to rush toward Beta ray bill thereby causing them to move in an opposite direction from the blackholes natural gravitational pull.

Surfers Black Hole incident is a perfect base of comparison, because we actually see two exact black holes un tampered by a Cosmic Being of a higher order? And Wow such a massive durability feat, its too bad he was laid on his ass by meteor on the first issue.

Its is a good direct comparison because we see how both characters fair when pulled into the centre of a blackhole. Asteroth didnt augment anything so ur "tampered by a Cosmic being of the highest order" argument is irrelevant.

Also ur bringing up a prior low point in that arc which is irrelevant is more evidence of debating ineptitude.

When actual matter manipulation, works on a Conscious, Healthy, Empowered; “Beta Ray Bill”. Then you will have actual grounds, to make a conclusive point. Otherwise, matter manipulation will have no effect with someone who wields an enchanted item with a portion of the Odin Power surging in his body because of it

More gibberish. U have no proof that bill has any more resistance to matter manip conscious or not as its lear its not inherent within his biological structure. Further ur claims about it being ineffective cuz he has "an enhanted item" are not only unsuported by anything but ur personal delusions, but are even more laughable because Surfer actually manipulated stormbreaker itself.

You and Darth brought up the inherited speed advantage. And I complied. Look I will repeat it again, I Id better known as id369 acknowledge Surfer warrants the speed advantage over Bill.

However my response is; its not significant enough to sway the overall outcome of the match; considering other being with inherited Super Speed have not overwhelmed Bill. Characters in the Herald class, and I used Thor vs. Surfer as a back reference to enforce my point.

Does Surfer still have the speed advantage? Absolutely. Yet Bill battle honed experience, is suffice to cope with it considering their history. You understand that it’s a match among characters in its totality and not just their power sets? Come back, when you learn to distinguish them.

This foolishness has to stop. All u do is ignore what is said since u cant counter it and repeat the same thing over and over again. Your response is a deliberate omission of context and a useless attempt at glossing over important details. The "other beings" that have superspeed and have fought bill [B]DIDNT make use of it in combat against him. So how the hell can u try to use that as a reference in regards to how he counters against superspeed? Its Retarded. Its equivalent to claiming that superman has been able to do well against energy manipulators and hence will do so in a VS match despite the fact that in those fights the energy manipulators NEVER made use of their energy manipulation abilities in the first place. Ur repeated use of classic thor vs surfer to supposedly back up ur point is therefore inane as well considering that surfer never used superspeed in any of their fights.

Further its evident that u have hardly even read the rules and dont even know the meaning of a combatant fighting "in character" to "full capacity". Fighting in character indicates that the combatants use the abilities they have shown are within their character to use in a given scenario or context to the fullest. Arguing for surfer using his speed to give him the advantage over bill isnt arguing powersets u idiot. In addition, arguing that bills "battle honed experience" will be enough to counter it without any examples of him countering an opponent ACTUALLY USING COMBAT SPEED IN THE MANNER BEING DESCRIBED has nothing to do with being "in character". It isnt based on history but is a piss poor generilization.

You are deterring the point of my reference. And circle back to the same damn matter manipulation reference from your opening statement. The debate in it of itself is not advancing, because you refuse to acknowledge a point, and recite an earlier claim that’s outside of the current point. Essentially locking this entire post in a loop hole.

Damn now uve started imagining things.
Ur idiocy prevents u from beng able to even read the posts ur quoting. I didnt deter the point of ur reference at all. The statement of mine u quoted was in regards to the speed issue.lol. TRY AND READ NEXT TIME. it helps. Im sure i ur case it would help a whole lot really. I was describing ur nonsensical attempts to ignore context and details in regards to speed in surfer and thor matches. U showed horrendous comprehension skills and missed the point of a post yet again . The reasons the debate is not advancing are ur recalcitrance and failure to actually read before responding (something i would have thought even u capable of doing 🙁 )

In lame terms, you are your own victim to circular logic.

More like a victim of ur all out attack on rationality and logic. rip1

I sense hostility 😐

I sense a win for Bill. Surfer's speed debunked!


????...........Errr, didnt u know that when ur trying to use personal attacks u should at least be coherent? lol. Rather poor attempt.Keep em coming though


Hehe, that was worth a chuckle.

I am glad you don’t approve. I plucked out the comment from a member that has trouble putting his comments together. But hey what can you do about it right?


sigh. So this is what it feels like arguing with the mentally impaired. U read my previous post and somehow comprehended that i believed surfer fought in a wormhole? U really saw an implication of that somewhere? lmao. Damn ur not even trying to make sense anymore.

For this to be true however he would have to create a corresponding whitehole at another location. There was no indication of this and so ur claim is baseless and false.


I believe your caught in your confusion, and lost gripe of the point I was trying to establish.

I commented, that initially Stardust remarked that if Bill gets pulled into the Black Hole he would not escape. I suggested ; I guess Stardust is unaware that a black hole may lead you else where, once it runs its course similar to how Surfer and Redshit was displaced. Or that Bill has his own means for escape.

This is going by the fact, that no farther information is being revealed other then the fact that Stardust created a your run of the mill event horizon. To suggest that there is no corresponding white hole, is to add a suggestive opinion. Since by default black hole tend to have a white hole. You do understand that what an event horizon pulls in, must be ejected out?

There was no indication to suggest that what took place was anything else but a standard event horizon, and so your claim is baseless and false.

lol.I claimed it was moving counter clockwise? Seriously i now were pretty far along in this thread ur new strategy of formulating nonsense out of thin air and claiming i made such arguments is weak even for u.

Further twisting the gravity of the blackhole DOES indicate that it will operate in a different way from normal. Asteroth twisted the gravity of the blackhole so that it wouldnt affect her but would affect bill and stardust. Their is a clear on panel portrayal of the uniqueness of this gravity twist.
When Asteroth says "show u something of the cosmos i will" She causes some pieces of debris to rush towards bill to be affected by gravity differently and causes them to rush toward Beta ray bill thereby causing them to move in an opposite direction from the blackholes natural gravitational pull.

From the illustration of the black hole. We clearly see the rotation of the black hole rotating clockwise. This is before and after Asteroth tempered with it. Earlier you suggested that Asteroth twisted its gravity effectively reversing the gravity rotation. Well if you are reversing the gravity rotation, your basically stating its moving counter clock wise.

Again you have no real premises to suggest, that action was due to the reversal of the gravity pull. Why would gravity single out, a single piece of debris from the rest of the shattered planet? You know the rest of the debris is still being pulled in. And yet Stardust does not mention, the temperament taking place after Bill destroys the asteroid.

For all we know, Asteorth could have tossed the asteroid through her own means. And then tempered with black hole.

Its is a good direct comparison because we see how both characters fair when pulled into the centre of a blackhole. Asteroth didnt augment anything so ur "tampered by a Cosmic being of the highest order" argument is irrelevant.

Also ur bringing up a prior low point in that arc which is irrelevant is more evidence of debating ineptitude.

Its not comparison when the event horizon has bin tampered with. It brings about new factors that can not be quantified. If the black hole was left intact, then a more reliable comparison could be concluded.

And Surfers low showings, goes to reinforce what I stated earlier. That he is plagued by low’s following his highs. In which members need to draw an average. Besides Bill isn’t going to attempt to infinity compress Surfer, he will use blunt force to traumatize the Surfer. I dare say Bill hits much harder then that Asteroid.


More gibberish. U have no proof that bill has any more resistance to matter manip conscious or not as its lear its not inherent within his biological structure. Further ur claims about it being ineffective cuz he has "an enhanted item" are not only unsuported by anything but ur personal delusions, but are even more laughable because Surfer actually manipulated stormbreaker itself.

Consciously his biological structure is being supercharged by the mallet. And well when the Stormbreaker happens to be every bit of equal to Mjolnir, I would like to think that it benefits from its ability to manipulate energy as well.

That’s why no one has or will give the nod to Surfer in effectively apply matter manipulation on Bill in battle. Well everyone but you.

It isnt based on history but is a piss poor generilization.

Oh so I repeat the same thing over and over again? Then let me bring up another point. Tell me how good is Bill’s reaction time, and perception of speed? It has to be significantly high, in order to cope with the incredible flight speed, react fast enough to intercept fire arms or energy blasts.

But the biggest give away, is Bill reciting what he perceived. As in the case of Silver Surfer v3 #121-122.
Surfer was, koed by a ball of energy traveling a multiples speed of light. While Quasar had a bit of trouble making out what happened, Bill recited what he perceived, with out effort.

If Bill can calmly perceive an object at multiples speed of light. I would think, he should be able to perceive Surfers movements, and adequately apply what ever means of actions.

Now, we understand that Surfer has moments of applying speed in action. However those are only maybe 10 scans, and maybe handful where actual light speed was applied in combat…out of over 250 general comic book appearances? There is no way, Bill will get overwhelmed by Surfers speed.

What you have left to understand is that, feats are only an aspect that can be factored in a fight. A characters history, and generalization of what takes place also must be considered given the fact, that essentially illustrates said characters habits and tendencies. If a character applied speed in 10 battles, and didn’t do so for 200 other plus encounters. Its not PIS to say, he may not apply so here given his history.

It would mean something, if it didn’t come from a bush league debater.

Ohhhh.

I keep on telling members, Surfer is bound to meet up with Bill. Hopefully my next prediction comes true, and that’s Surfer Speed and Matter manipulation being close to a non factor against Bill.

since when does a being who is immune to the hazards of deep space, created by a being who was born before there even was any space, have any.....blood?

Yeah, being struck by another Herald level is definitely the same as being restrained by a street level. Surfer shouldn't bleed, it's no great deal.

He's bled before. Most herald levelers have blood in their system and travel space just fine so it's really not a big deal.

Yeah, especially since there's no biological explanation for blood since SS doesn't eat, sleep, excrete, breathe, or procreate.

So you're right, and I agree with you. It's definitely the same as being restrained by a street level since Surfer clearly has human physiology and muscular tissue that makes the armbar effective. I'm glad you understood that.

Herald levelers is not the same as a herald. Off the top of my head, Terrax, Stardust, the Fallen One, and Nova have all never been shown to have blood in their system, and that's almost 50% of Galactus' heralds.

Also, SS's recent portrayals in Annihilation suggests that he does not have normal physiology (i.e. blood).

Obviously, mcduffie also wrote surfer as having human physiology, which goes back to my comment.

No muscular tissue?

Take a look at him after the silver coating has been taken off, in Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus :/

****ing joke.

Surfer in a BRB comic... maaan I hope they don't job Surfer to BRB here. :-/

Silver Surfer has "turned off" his silver coating before and revealed a humanoid form skin and all

nice avatar/sig

If Surfer can beat BRB then he certainly can beat classic Thor since BRB is slightly classic Thor's superior. But many Thor fans would disagree. IMO, Surfer fighting at his best with CIS off easily annihilates BRB or classic Thor easily.

How is Beta Ray Bill, superior to Classic Thor?

Justify that.

Classic Thor > Beta Ray Bill.

Silver Surfer, won't annihilate Beta Ray Bill or Classic Thor easily. That just silly.

Please, post you're prove to support this. I really would like to see it.

What from all of their encounters, makes you believe that?

It might be just you're opinion, but it's a baseless opinion.

This is how. BRB beat Thor in canon. Second, BRB was handling WM Thor fairly well. So I say BRB is slightly Thor's superior.

SS fought WM Thor stupidity, almost like how firelord fought Spider-man. Thor threw his hammer at SS and missed. Thor was a sitting duck in space for some seconds. Some seconds is supposed to be an eternity to someone who has light speed reflexes. Yet SS didn't nail him.

I mean what can Thor actually do to SS if SS doesn't get close? Now if you factor in SS's stupidity then I see your point. Probably this is why they are so evenly matched.
