Tactical Power

Pick any power fighter (eg, Superman) and any tactical fighter (eg, Captain America). Explain how the power fighter would benefit from training or strategic advisement from the tactical fighter. They're not fighting as a team. The power fighter is on his/her own once actual fighting begins.

During "Superman/Batman", we got to actually see what a tactical fighter (Batman) could do with the abilities of a power fighter (Superman).

Good issue, IIRC.

Public Enemies is terrific. But remember, there they were fighting as a team. For this thread, Superman wouldn't even have the benefit of a throatmike.

that's the only story where batman was actually endowed the powers of superman [via some type of magical kryptonite.] he proceeded to own the JLA as though they were nothing, etc.

at any rate, a power fighter would fair much better in a given battle [or would at least be far more efficient] with additional tactical knowledge.

But not like Supes and CAP.

Supes is not on the same level as Cap for tactics.

I think he may have been talking about the 'superbat' arc of S/B [issues 53-56.]

In any event: there, the tactical fighter received power.
This thread is sort of the opposite.

supes is not like supes?

as in tactical planning? no.

but in a fight, actually fighting intelligently and not being an idiot with your own skillset? Superman is as good as most.

And among those feats is the ability to absorb radiation strong enough to knock out two Supermen within minutes, GRAB a hold of light vision and so on. Future All Star Superman had developed telepathy among other things. Though I guess this speaks much more about potential than tactical power.

that's not tactical use of powers. that's evolution/potential, as you said at the end.

Tactical Fighter: Lady Shiva
Tactical Power: Captain Marvel

If those two ever have a baby....OUCH!

actually superman is the illest tactician out....the simple fact that he has yet to kill a motherf ****er in battle despite his enormous power is testament to that. as was seen when he went against Manchester Black and the rest of the Elite.....and he took them all down with superspeed...and he was able to disable MB by using micro bursts of heat and laser visions thru his retinas to give him a concussion, thus neutralizing the powers of one of the most powerful TP/TK in DC earth..period

there are shit loads of other intances i could name

TF: Deathstroke
TP: Spiderman
