AMAZO against Libra

Both AMAZO and Libra are power-copiers but who is actually the greatest power copier?

AMAZO

Historically, Libra could only take on half of a character's power. Amazo, on the other hand, doesn't have that limitation.

So why was the Spectre helpless against Libra at one point?

That didn't have anything to do with him copying powers.

Because at the time God had forbade Spectre from judging Libra.

I really hope he returns especially given the fact that even his "killers" recognized that there was no way killing him would be that easy.

Also I believe it was stated somewhere that Libra had been rescued by Desaad and turned into a New God by Darkseid to serve as the avatar of the ALE.

I'm sure Libra will be back at some point. Quite honestly, I don't think he can be perma-killed.

The only question is how he'll be reincorporated. Its like Darkseid, no chance he isn't coming back some day the only question is how they'll explain it after having him completely and utterly erased from existence. Perhaps he's in Limbo right now doing time with Merryman.

The one thing Libra has going over Amazo is creativity. Amazo's powerful as heck, but not always smart with his abilities. Libra, while less powerful, has the creativity and intelligence to make best use of his powers.

Same reason EXile Mimic beats 616 Mimic. EXile has his powers at half, 616 at full, but EXile's so much smarter I'd give him 9/10 easy.

Regardless, I hope they go that route with Darkseid's return, instead of just reintroducing him into continuity without giving any real explanations pertaining to how he returned.

I don't hold Libra's intelligence in such high regard, I'm afraid. I mean, the one time Libra tried to use his powers wisely/to their max, he unwillingly spread his essence throughout the cosmos (an accident it would take him years to recover from.)

True. I just mean, he has more *capacity* to be clever with his powers than Amazo.

(2) If bad judgment was that important in discerning the intelligence of comic book characters then Reed Richards would probably be a border-line retard.

Imo, Amazo's ability to copy the full power of anyone/thing >> Libra's ability to copy half of *insert random variable(s) here* power.

That was just one example. Regardless, Libra may have quite a bit of potential, but he has never really impressed me much.

He'd get half of Amazo's power - but Amazo would also be capable of copying both the full power of Libra AND his weaponry. There's really no way Amazo can't win, me thinks.
