The (Dr.) Manhattan Project

then its basically apples to oranges when discussing his powerlevel vs someone like galactus who wont fight him by coming from tons of different angles and force him to use duplication to fight him

If G wants to, that's what he'll do. He is "beyond dimensions".

I posted that as an example of how he can't even match the SS. Manhatan's demonstrated upper limits in power scope are far below the SS's and what other upper limits he might have in raw power output are impossible to tell, as they were never shown . The feast he does have in this category (and every other) are far below SS's just the same.

So going by all on panel evidence, he is below the SS and claiming otherwise is speculation.

Yes, but in the MU it would make you a mid, possibly high, herald.

and possibly able to defeat surfer. link-rape

They plainly state he could only take a percentage, 40% or somehting, of the soviet nuclear strike and the usa would still be destoryed.

I believe the russians has 51,000 nukes and ozymandias said "even is doctor manhatten can sop 99% of all those nukes it would still be enough to wipe out all life on the planet.

I did the math.Thats about 70-80 nukes a continent.

The book says he theoretically should be able to stop at least 60%, if all soviet missiles in USSR and Europe were launched at the USA.

The percentage that get trough, together with the US counterstrike would efficiently kill all organic life in the northern hemisphere.

what does the nuke scenario have to do with this? the team is trying to save the world, not kill Manhattan at the cost of also killing everyone on Earth... it would be counterproductive to just nuke him.

Also, nuking him wouldn't even work because in this scenario, he isn't trying to save anyone so he could just avoid them. Setting off nukes would actually be benefitial to his cause.

We're not discussing nuking him, we're merely claiming he isn't capable of stopping all those nukes, while someone like the surfer could; thus Dr. Mahattan isn't as powerful as the surfer. People like Doom or Reed could run a train on surfer with 10 days prep solo.

Jonn solos.
