SS > Gravity manip

Blackholes are infinite gravity and high lvl ss guys disregard them all the time

Magic > Laws of physics unless the person manipulating the gravity is more powerful then the source of the magic.

True.Day to day life normal gravity manip would be cool but as a hero only massive manip would do you good.

But if we're talking the uber gravity manips, isn't it fair to compare them with the massive strength types?

Bring in the Draxes, Validus's, and Mangog's. Classic Drax is probably the weakest of the bunch, and he still tore apart a star with his bare hands, and stars have intense gravity.

Maybe.

Sometimes magic is clearly > science, and sometimes science manages to trump magic. (Jamie Reyes is a great example of science trumping magic, as the scarab treats magic like any other energy type, can absorb it, or even cancel it out with an "anti magic bubble". How Xanatos resisted Oberon's uber magic in Gargoyles using conventional generators and a force field is another example.)

@cdtm,

The feat where drax rips apart a star had to involve some type of energy/matter manipulation. Otherwise, how can you rip apart energy?

Well, Hulk also grabbed onto the energy of a force field, treating it like silly putty.

It doesn't make much sense, but I guess it was a silver age thing..

I guess it's one thing to move, lift, push, pull extreme weights. It quite another to have your body actually weigh hundreds of tons.

I think one advantage super strength would have is throwing things. You can definitely lift more with anti-gravity, but how strong would your anti-gravity field need to be to make a baseball match the speeds of a professional pitcher?

Strength doesn't come into the equation as much as acceleration.

Controlling a fundamental Force is > Strength any day unless the control is very limited.

gravity manipulation pwns.

perceptive gravity manipulation would pwn even more tho. give someone an object that is light as a feather to them, but 1 trillion tons to anything it hit or something like that xD
