Black Adam Vs Ultraman

Heck, even back in the Silver Age he was tanking magical attacks from Dr. Fate:

...So shrugging off high-end magic definitely isn't a new concept for him.

You're probably right.

But that makes this a really low end showing for Adam, which is unusual given who's doing the writing. (Adams has been a favorite of Johns.) OR, it means this Ultraman is comparatively uber compared to past versions, above Superman and Cap.

I don't know how anyone could possibly see this as a poor showing for Adam-- he was simply the first measuring stick used to show us how uber Ulty is.

...And Johns LOVES Adam, so that's saying something.

He should have used another character instead of Adam. Someone like Captain Atom or something.

Lol. If Ulty would've beaten DCnU Captain Atom at all--let alone that easily--it would've definitely skyrocketed him near the Skyfather tier at the very least, imo. DCnU Atom was ridiculously powerful.

BA was a good measuring stick.

id give the edge to ultraman but I think his wiping of BA was bullshit. I remember when prime fought BA. Yeah adam couldn't do much to him but he tanked a hella of a shot and recovered right away.

When it comes to D.C as far as they are concerned Black adam and shazam are nothing more then shit,fodder if you will.

Well, Ulty did take out Superman off panel...

It's not that I don't agree with you.. Ultraman is supposed to be the uber, at the moment.

But in the future, if a writer happens to have Superman fight Ulty on completely even terms, and worse yet has him win, that's where it makes Adam look bad...

But time will tell.

This is a new continuity, and no they are not. Especially not Teth. True Billy has been treated like shit recently, but those are all alternate versions.

I think it was kind of overkill, but it was awesome so yeah.

...But even if that wouldn't have happened, Supes still wouldn't have been a threat at all. He was already circling the drain due to extreme k-nite poisoning.

I can agree with that 👆
