Dr. Mahattan vs Genis Vell

Started by marvelmadness132 pages

Genis takes it. I don't know why so many people put Manhattan so high on the totem pole, he's really nothing but a weaker silver surfer. He has transmutation, cosmic awareness, etc but has never used them to the degree that most high heralds do.

Genis can lock space, and contain him there.

lol

Dr. M has never even shown the ability to cross dimensions. Genis can just BFR him to the negative zone.

Manhattan has never left the Milky Way 😬

I realize that Genis probably wins, but Manhatten only had one book so its hard to guage how powerful he really was. I do think that Moore intended him to be just shy of god though and I think he gets a raw deal around here.

Genis was pretty much god in his own series. That was one of the points of that series, which they talked about often, that he thought he should be considered god because of his power, regardless of what he did with it.

Its locked space, Dr. M would have to show if he can overcome Genis spatial ability using some form of point reference.

But Dr. M can teleport!

Thats the nature of putting characters who are from books that are more implication and concept then feats in a vs forum like this

Manhattan was like a god in his world because he was the only super powered being in it. He's impressive but if you threw him in the 616 or New Earth universes he'd simply be one of many herald level beings, with many beings above him. The guy wasn't even capable of stopping a full nuclear strike, something the Surfer, Doc Strange, or Supes would have little trouble with.

Good point. Perhaps Vell wins this way.

Vell can possibly win by BRF to another dimension.

"Locked space" has no meaning to me. You must provide the definition and show applications of it and how it would relevantly pertain to defeating Dr. M. Be specific!

I have a better question: will we ever find a good matchup for Manhattan that isn't spite one way or the other?

Genis Vell wins.

^Good point. Maybe a decent magic user would make a good fight.
