Silver Surfer vs Hal Jordan: Who is More Versatile?

Who can do more with their powerset?

Based on past feats? Surfer.

Potentially? Hal.

I'd also say that if we include only their best feats, including some absolutely wacky PC feats from Hal (which are still canon for him), that it's roughly equal. But Surfer has made more use of his versatility through the years, so it seems more prevalent.

What do you think Surfer could do that Hal couldn't?

Cover his body with cosmic "glaze" while flying naked on a surf board and not have it be considered gay.

Only cause Jack Kirby created him. And because Mobius did some work with Surfer.

Hal's PC feats are nuts... basically anything he wanted to do, he did it.
So considering them, I'd say they are more or less equals.

I've always seen that match as a 5/10 split, every time it gets posted.

Well there are things like, stripping away the Old power from skaar, (an energy souurce powerful enough to sustain galactus for thousands of years), draining peoples lifeforces,synthesizing the Odinforce,transforming into pure energy,Assimilating with earths core,perceiving all periods and aspects of time simultaneously, Using and manipulating the astral plane, telepathy and other mental powers (he has even been able to affects the thoughts and feelings of evryone on earth simultaneously)etc. All these are things which i dont think current Haljordan is capable of.

don't forget his cosmic awareness, half the universe's population was erased and he felt it.

Nothing Ben Kenobi couldn't do. biscuits

not if his miticlorians (spelling lol) are mutated/deactivated.

That's kind of hard not to sense. 😬 If he didn't sense that, then his cosmic awareness would be worth jack shit.

"perceiving all periods and aspects of time simultaneously" I smell something wrong here. Scans?

And Hal probably has feats that Surfer could not do. Like storm through the GLC in Emerald Twilight. Or outwill their own death. Or any of the crazy (still canon) PC shit.

the thing about "PC" stuff is that it was completely ridiculous, if hal was stronger now than he was back then, he still wouldn't do those things like he did in the pc days since the writing was bad.

for example: pc luthor can take down pc superman with iirc an orange, flashlight, and a can. is that a testament to lex's mind or the fact that pc era comics were for kids?

Both. 313

they didn't care back in those days, only the forth world stuff was brilliant. hence the crisis.
