Yeah, I admit this question should have been better formulated, as there are a number of folks in the mid-herald category (BRB, Blackbolt, Gladiator, Nefaria, etc.) that seem to belong (and be considered on forum) as high herald. What I wanted to find out was which character people thought was most powerful who, at best, could only get 1-2/10 against a character like supes or surfer, not counting weakness exploitation.
Speaking of... Did any of you see the superheroes squad show? LOL every Nova cliche was trotted out. The Nova Corps is destroyed. Nova is easily captured and has to be rescued by this tongue in cheek version of the Avengers. He's not really offered membership in the "Squaddies" as if he's not quite good enough. He's portrayed as underpowered in comparison to the Squaddies. He really doesn't get much of a chance to show his powers till the very end - but at least he kinda sorta saves the day. The only cliche that they forgot to add were the infamous depowerings lmao!
Easily Captain Atom.
