i see BA winning for a slight majority. i feel he has the durability edge.

@ Gecko4lif

I never said "tanked it". But since you brought it up, yeah he pretty much did, although I'm pretty sure he shielded himself. Which is more along the lines of what I was getting at.

Black Adam stomps.

Nova cannot beat an stronian in straight combat and Teth has similar status. He'd need to bring his A-game to compete with regular Black Adam, a more powerful version should take this handily.

@blanket,

That's pure conjecture. We don't know if it was his most powerful shield. Are you implying he'd need his most powerful shield to take a Black Adam punch?

No. I was just implying that he's not going to use the same quality, and isn't going to hide behind them... because he never does.

@bentley,

So we should just ignore the full spectrum of Nova's powers?

Ok. I see that I'm swimming against the tide with this one (as usual). But let me ask you guy's this. If a thread entitled "Hero X vs Blank Man" was created and a detailed description of the full powers and abilities of both heroes was provided, one corresponding to Black Adam, the other to Nova Prime. How many of you would honestly pick the Black Adam powerset over the Nova power set?

Whoops. I forgot that I promised wildshadow that I'll be nice from now on. Sorry Nihilist. What I meant to say was that your uninformed and biased opinion is dismissed. Respectfully of course.

Nova is one of my favorite characters (if not THE) and I have been collecting every single issue and appearance he's had since Annihilation.

That said, he loses this one.

Nova fan here as well, but Adam seems more "invulnerable".

I think Nova would go down fighting and I could see him injuring Adam badly but he is losing this.

He almost never uses his power in a level that would bother Black Adam -let's not forget this is an strongest version-. His opponent doesn't have any particular weakness to exploit and with speed, uber strength and magical lightning would eventually pierce through Nova's defense.

If you really think Nova can win, you surelly don't talk about physical combat since that's how BA wins this. How can he take this?

Black Adam rips his head off.

WW3 Black Adam rapes him

@bentley,

Fair enough. Obviously Black Adam is physically stronger. Nova could amp to match him, but he hasn't shown that level of strength on panel yet so I won't speculate. But he is class 100+ on normal levels.

Nova's durability is top notch, right up there with the Hulk and such. But his grav shields make him damned near invulnerable, as evidenced by him taking the Galactus solar system destroying blast easily. BA would have to get past that first. Nova obviously would make use of his ranged attacks. Then he could open a stargate in Adams head. He has been downed in a similar manner before.

Nova is criminally underrated here.
