The (Dr.) Manhattan Project

Intro: For the purposes of this thread, Dr. Manhattan is a megalomaniacal Alien from another galaxy who is bent on world domination.

Notes:

The Marvel and DC universes are one in the same.
Dr. Manhattan has all of the abilities he is known to have.

Scenario: Manhattan has arrived on Earth and declared that, in a weeks time, he will destroy all of Earths citizens. He has already obliterated nearly everyone with superhuman abilities; be they human, mutant or alien.

Somehow, lets just call it PIS, the following people have survived...

Reed Richards
Tony Stark
Hank Pym
Martian Manhunter
Bruce Banner (has full control over his alter ego)
Dr. Doom
Michael Holt
Bruce Wayne
Ray Palmer
John Henry Irons

At their disposal:

Their brains and of course, their respective abilities.
Basic knowledge of what Manhattan is capable of.
Any technology that is NOT of alien origin.

With their collective resources, money is obviously not an issue.

No outside forces are available. This means...
-no Asgardians.
-no Lantern Corp.
-no Silver Surfer
-no Thanos
-no Tribunal
-etc.

Extra note: CIS is off, so they will work together and there is no double crossing or infighting. Ego's remain, but for the most part, they work as a team.

So, within the time of seven days. will they be able to devise a plan to stop or kill Dr. Manhattan? How does it happen? Do any of them survive the encounter?

I'm going to say they can do it within that time period and they
may even be able to recreate the accident that gave him his powers
seeing as there are a couple of people here who are very knowledgeable
in physics but what could completely destroy them is if manhattan chooses to
look into the future and counteract whatever they could plan it all depends if
manhattan actually chooses to do something about it or not as we have seen
that there are somethings that he just accepts and feels he can't do anything about

He doesnt really look into the future, past present and future all the same to him, all happening simultaneously.

I think they migh come up with a way to banish or contain him, but it's speculation.

Well the thing is he knows the future but he doesn't change it.He knew JFK was going to be shot but didn't stop it.If however he is completely hellbent on world domination and would use all of his powers to their fullest extent I don't think they could stop him.

He doesn't change it because it's already happened. The future is what it is because he didn't alter it, otherwise it'd be something else and he'd know about it just the same..

Banner, Doom, and Reed are MUCH more intelligent than Ozymandias, and they've all dealt with beings with a similar nature, such as Silver Surfer, Molecule Man, The Beyonder, and Sentry. I'm certain the last 3 would take the majority over Manhattan. Even the Surfer has shown time travel on occasion. Doom would eventually take his powers, and even if he didn't, locking him in the Negative Zone would slow him down enough to give them more time. I think that Reed and Victor could solo this if they needed to.

Doom solos.

Reed solos.

Spite, the blue guy gets stomped.

as much as i back dr manhattan on these forums, this is way to many top minds put together.

Start spraying tachyons all over the place and his advantage is negated, then they just figure out a plan and implement it.

With CIS off?

Unlike Watchman Manhattan, he'll actually do something about his future knowledge.

But what if they try and block his omni-time vision like Ozy did, one may ask? Technically, Dr. Manhattan should've been aware of events just before, and just after his time vision got obstructed. But he just didn't act on it, because it's what he does...

that doesnt mean hed kno who did it. he can only see his own timeline.

lol, this aint spite!

I made the thread with the thought that it would be a challenge for the group to defeat him. I do think they can do it, but i hardly think any of them can go solo.

Perhaps, Reed, Doom or even Ray could trap him solo, but killing him would probably need to be a group effort.

doom would steal his power and then kill him with a thought.

HE ISNT. HE CAN SEE HIS TIMELINE ONLY. and if doom can disrupt that with tachyons, he wont see it coming. not that he can do anything about it, because : "He doesn't change [the future] because it's already happened."

I'm not talking about his perception of time or his ability to alter it; I'm referring to his overwhelming grasp of his own mind. That conscious swapping crap aint gonna fly.

wut. you said doom has access to any tech that isnt alien. all he needs is his own tech to steal manhattan's powers and then make his head pop once hes powerless
