He-Man v The Growing Gauntlet Part the Second!

so, seems i may have underestimated the prince, after telling everyone he is often underestimated! heh. i love irony . . .

anyway, let's try this again--each enters one at a time, til the one in front is in trouble then the next enters instantly. let's make it a bit more challenging . . .

1. namor
2. a-bomb
3. sasquatch
4. wendigo
5. kalibak
6. hammerles thor
7. immortal hercules
8. rulk

so, how many can he take. strictly h2h.

Stops at 4-7

I think he stops at 7. I'd give him the strength edge over all of these guys (yes, Hulk fans), but Thor and Herc are a good fight, and added to everyone else would be too much for Adam. Those two alone might take him, just because he can be knocked out.

Also, leo, are we to assume that everyone from the gauntlet is still around for each new addition? Because I'm fairly sure that, say, Namor would be incapacitated by the time we got to about #3.

But yeah, He-Man clears that first GG you made, and one-shots half the list. This one is better.

if he can one-shot people then they are out. but that's a pretty impressive feat to 1-shot any of these guys in straight h2h. they are all very durable, skilled or very fast, and working with others it's hard for me to believe MOST wouldn't survive long enough to get help and work together. when powers and weapons are involved i think the one-shots are a lot more viable and can happen more easily.

I didn't say he'd one-shot Namor. I said Namor would be out eventually, which he would be. A few on your earlier gauntlet would be one-shotted, however. Or thrown into the next zip code, etc. But I was really just looking for clarification. My earlier assessment stands.

making it to 7 before he falls is still REALLY friggin' impressive . . .

imo, he stops somewhere between 6-8.

7.

Well, I see Kalibak as the first to give him real trouble. And by the time he gets to Kalibak, I see Namor and A-Bomb being down for the count. So he's never fighting more than maybe 2 until we get to Thor, which is where the real test begins. And then Herc would put it over the top.

But if you throw all of the first 6 in at once, I'd say he loses. Maybe even the first 5. But in this format I don't see that many staying around all at once.

for hyperion prime. 🙂

I honestly think He-man can clear this. He is way stronger than any of them except maybe Hercules

He can't be stronger than Thor and not stronger than Hercules

Ok he is stronger than them all, but Hercules is the best fighter in the group is what I should have said.

Kris, even Hulk takes 2nd place to He-Man in comicdom for plot-induced strength powers. He's the strongest in this fight. That's not even close to being in question. But that doesn't make him invincible.

A-Bomb is pretty solid, isn't he? Not like he'd go down quickly. I think five has a good chance, and if he does get past that, six shuts him down.

how far does he get?

I agree with 7. He can likely dispatch 1-3 without too much difficulty, but by the time he winds up facing Wendigo or Sasquatch (depending on what state either is in by the time the help arrives) + Kalibak + Thor he'd be exerting a lot, and when you add Hercules to that mix he'd be fighting in my opinion an overwhelming force (sans the Sword of Power. With the sword he could possibly make it to a 3 on 1 with Thor, Herc, and Rulk).
