Nova Prime Vs Apocalypse

I think what dmills meant was that although Apoc can reconfigure his molecules to change shapes etc, Nova offensively using gravity will still affect him, even if he can shift his mass around...

No, Apoc can teleport beside him or become so dense, strong that he could be able to resist the gravitational force.

Call me crazy but I think Apoc becoming more dense would exacerbate his situation just a tad.

Bumpy 🙂

i see your bumpy and raise you a bumpity. 🙂

Couldn't Nova just BFR Apoc?

well assuming they are on earth, rich would never resort to a stargate. also not sure he'd use a gate on one opponent. let's say it would def not happen often...

Why does he care about that when jobbing, PIS, and CIS are turned off?

didn't see the cis was off. the stargate would likely obliterate apoc well before it bfr'd him then. i was much more interested in seeing how this battle would turn out without the use of a power he would never actually use in a battle....

tbh, i'm still not 100% sure how this would turn out. i'm leaning towards nova but apoc is tough to put down.

Apocalypse can teleport. More times than not Rider's getting impaled or decapitated in this fight.

LIES!

Nova Prime would have Apocalypse laid out faster than Rogue was in the XTAS.

gotta go with lob on this one. speed and shields make it tough to see apoc winning via h2h for a majority. i have a tough time seeing rich putting apoc down for good though. still, rich seems to have more options available, hence the reason i still lean towards him for a majority...

Apocalypse could go for the mental attack.

Apocalypse wrecks that dick rider.

Most of Nova's offense will have very little effect on Apocalypse to begin with. Bullcharging into Apocalypse isn't exactly Nova's best option either. He'd be better off keeping his distance. Apocalypse is stronger, more durable (particularly his Celestial Armor), and can adapt his physical makeup to make himself even less susceptible to what Nova attempts, and he can also erect shielding and teleport. Apocalypse also has energy attacks as well. And since this is a no PIS/CIS scenario, that means things like life force draining and body swapping are in play for Apocalypse (though not necessary for victory). Nova doesn't have Jarnbjorn at his disposal to bypass Apocalypse's Celestial armor durability. IMO, that's a big factor.

^even without the recent boost to his durability Apocalypse still seems to thrive on energy, whereas it's an effort for Nova to absorb it.

Nova is immune to telepathic attacks.

I don't think teleporting would help if the guy decides to open up a stargate. Apoc also just isn't fast enough to tele-shank Nova before he reacts.

Which, if he has no other method of achieving victory..it would be silly for him not to do everything in his power to not die.

No PIS/CIS means Nova opens up a stargate in Apocalypse chest.

well, tough to argue with that logic...or that tune. 👆
