And I totally acknowledge Surfer's powerup(official or unofficial, however you see it) in Annihilation, I'm just skeptical as to whether or not it'll be shown to this extent with any degree of regularity. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but Marvel's let me down too many times in the past for blind faith on my part...

i think it's already been established and it's here to stay. where do you see norrin now? sky father level? thanos level? what?

Nah. He's never been shown as much much stronger than he was. Was more of a slight (yet considerable) upgrade. If it were up to me, I'd still put him in high herald level but on the highest end of the bracket.

could be, but the owning of bill shows otherwise. i say he's close to Thanos. but that's just how i see it.

Thanos is as far beyond Surfer as Surfer was beyond Bill.

Hyperbole aside, could have been an outlier instead of the norm. Don't see it being looked at as an average showing of SS in the long run.

Seriously, the fight between Surfer and Bill didn't quite sit right with me. I mean I LOVE to see Surfer kick ass, but he honestly seemed to have too easy a time taking Bill down IMO. Personally I think it was right to have Surfer win decisively, but I think there should have been some back and forth action to make Surfer work for it.

I think it's great and all, but given the way Surfer's portrayals fluctuate I think it's going to end up being on the "High End" side for Surfer rather than the average.

I also didnt expect surfer to win that easily. I mean, considering that the bill he fought against was an angry Bill was out for revenge id think that the much would have been tougher. ESPECIALLY because surfer wwas holding back and apologising to bill during the fight.

Regardless i cant say im unhappy with the result tbh. 😄

i hope surfer treats thanos that way. with a smile. 🙂

Im not sure that is going to happen anytime soon. Annihilation would have to have upgraded surfer HUGELY for him to even come close to doing that to thanos. (Hed have to be skyfather level definitely)

what if everything that has been told to you is a lie? that surfer with the power cosmic is every bit as powerful as Thanos? that surfer was only using 20% of his power and holding back? the shit would hit the fan!

Hey did you check out the link in my earlier post? I recently noticed an on panel blitzing tactic for Surfer in his fight with Durok...

Nice. With instances such as this, its even more of a wonder to me how people can call surfer using his board on BRB a plot device. its not like its the first time he has used it in battle. Its just a case of smart fighting.

lol. that would be a great day indeed. Honestly though id still like to see a surfer/thanos match in the near future. Just to see how hed fare against thanos currently and give us a better idea of his current power placement.

But instead of chalking this up as a high showing, perhaps we need to start acknowledging that the Annihilation Wave storyline DID introduce a power upgrade for the Surfer (a lot of ppl still don't).

Tbh the "board to the back of the head" is one of Surfer's most often used tactics.

it would seem a very effective maneuver against 'slower' enemies like BRB and Thanos

True. i see surfer using his board as being in the same vein as thor tossing his hammer.

perhaps...don't see it being a viable tactic against someone like Superman though (not that Surfer will ever run into Superman outside of KMC threads)

Plus, Superman is bound to have one of his "let's not fight" speeches.

I don't see how you figure it's not viable against Supes. Surfer's board is capable of more than enough speed to tag Supes anyway so if Supes's back is turned...

BRB was basically standing there like a statue trying to deflect surfer's blast with his hammer...making him a perfect target for the board

superman would never do the same...he'd be dodging surfer's blast by flying around in circles at superspeed...something brb is not capable of
