JLA vs Imperial Guard

Yo.

Eh, most of them are blasters with very little ability to take damage from the likes of Donna and SG in return, and also quite a few members of the Imperial Guard died during the War of Kings, leaving newer replacements in their place with a lot less experience (at least one slot had 3 different members in it during the war).

the exact same thing applies to this JLA team, unless U think Bats, Jade, & Jesse have better durability than the blasters in the IG??

and while they did have a number of their group die, I dont think their exp will count overly much in this scenario given that they outnumber the earthlings *aleast* 3 to 1, and have a much greater variety of offensive & defensive abilities to bring to this fight.

which doesnt matter since he'll still likely be smarter than any1 on the JLA, plus the fact that they have about 3 possible tanks PLUS 2 scrappers on their side (1 of them the KK-analogue), so Donna & Bats are handily covered, and SG herself can be covered by Voyager, Magique, or Oracle by themselves.......

U think Jade(and Im guessing Jesse?) is "low-herald"??

.......wow. I dont see anything in their past depictions to support U that defense AT ALL; perhaps U can fill me in?

to be fair, the Inhumans have a much larger variety of powers to bring to a battle..........

Jade? Of course she does, GL aura and all. She's good for both protecting the team and fighting many enemies at once.

Jesse and Bats don't, but Jesse's got her speed for defense and Bats are good at avoiding being hit, and of course unlike the Imperial Guard they have multiple herald levels to take point.

And much less powerful abilities in general, and most of their offensive powers ultimately boil down to blastly, and defensive ones are in a minority.

The most powerful members of the JLA are going to be very hard to deal with and are worth quite a bit more than 3 a piece.

Donna Troy? Sister of Wonder Woman? Recently beat up Super Woman? (Diana's evil counterpart from the Crime Syndicate of Amarika) Has a lasso that makes people of weaker will (i.e. anyone in the enemy team) do what she wants?

And Jade's a Green Lantern type, yea I think she's probably low herald.

And of course there's Supergirl.

Jesse's high meta.

What three tanks? Or, more specifically, what tanks could match up to Donna Troy? Of the ones active, only Neutron seems to be a definite class 100, and I don't think is on her strength level, and being a rookie definitely won't be on her skill level. There's Titan, but simply being big isn't going to give him a chance against her. Then there's Commando, though I don't know his exact strength. Unless it's pretty darn impressive, odds are very good Troy'll whip all three of them on her own and be ready for more.

Onslaught (KK analog) isn't in an active member.

Voyager's not active, and a fragile teleporter is hardly a sure win against someone as fast as Supergirl.

A telepath or illusion user is not likely to handle Supergirl by themselves. Delay Supergirl by themselves, sure, but she'll still win, and taking out the enemy telepaths/illusion types are what Bat people and speedsters are for.

I thought non-active members were included...

It's the current roster. So no-one who's dead, off the team, or ruler of the Shi'ar Empire.

They would be royally screwed then ermm

they always replace the dead though.

Generally yes, but it can mean they have "Person with power set X who just got on the team," rather than "Person with power set X and a decade or two of experience."

Yo.

Jade isnt = GL, not even close; if she was, she wouldnt have died during IC while Kyle & Kilo lived.

I cant think of a time shes ever displayed the range, the variety or the power output, aside from the time when she wore a Ring herself.

sure......until she gets tripped up, and it only needs to happen ONCE for JQ to be taken down, and nobody needs to go h2h w/Bats since an AoE (and they have a few ppl quite capable of that) will affect him just as easily as anything else.

which is still more than that JLA -team have collectively, and becuz of that this is the IGs fight to lose, not the JLAs.

just becuz Donna is Dianas magical clone doesnt make her = WW. we've no info on how strong that version of Superwoman is, and no idea if she was god-blessed like Diana was, which *would* put her far far above other Amazons, and lend good battle cred to Donna in that instance.

already spoke about Jade, SG is a force to reckoned with to be sure (altho not unbeatable, especially here), and if JQ = her parents in powers/abilities then she *isnt* a high meta since they werent.

nowhere near that, really.

1)Neutron, Smasher (the Ultra Boy -analogue), Titan & (formerly, cuz Im remembering hes dead) Warstar; all of them together have enuff of a STR/DUR combo that they could keep SG busy for awhile.

2) Donnas not a bad fighter, but like I said she's not = WW, and only blind fan-wishing paints her as such.

that fragile could drop her right in the middle of Kryptons debis field, which both removes her from play & in all probability insta-kills her. SG is fast, but its not like she *cant* be touched by anything (or any1 on this team, for that matter).

being a kryptonian doesnt give 1 an extraordinarily hard mind to invade; its happened to her cousin *quite a few times* (Tom Kalmaku w/GL Ring, the Shark, Manchester Black, Dominus, the human Brainiac), and Id be willing to say his mental DEF's are much better than hers.

and even if she *did* get free, she'd still have to locate exactly which 1 it was that atk'd her, and thats not gonna happen simply by *sight*.

She's not on the level of Kyle and Kilowog, but she's still equal to many other Green Lanterns IMO. I could *maybe* see her considered as low as High Meta, but a very good one at that.

Very good for fighting a group in any case, bringing both defense and firepower to the team.

sure......until she gets tripped up, and it only needs to happen ONCE for JQ to be taken down, and nobody needs to go h2h w/Bats since an AoE (and they have a few ppl quite capable of that) will affect him just as easily as anything else.

Most of the Imperial Guard will go down if they're hit once, and they don't have Jesse's speed, and Donna, Supergirl, and Jade'll be tearing right through them.

Oh, and Jesse has Super Strength too.

which is still more than that JLA -team have collectively, and becuz of that this is the IGs fight to lose, not the JLAs.

I disagree, not with all the powerhouses on the field.

just becuz Donna is Dianas magical clone doesnt make her = WW. we've no info on how strong that version of Superwoman is, and no idea if she was god-blessed like Diana was, which *would* put her far far above other Amazons, and lend good battle cred to Donna in that instance.[/quote]

It's the same Superwoman that's fought the JLA on many occasions.

Donna's been closer to Diana than ever since her resurrection. She showed herself noticeably stronger than Starfire when they used to be about equal, did a stint as WW where she fought some of Diana's class 100+ enemies, the Superwoman incident, etc..

already spoke about Jade, SG is a force to reckoned with to be sure (altho not unbeatable, especially here), and if JQ = her parents in powers/abilities then she *isnt* a high meta since they werent.

She's better than her parents.

IMO she's more skilled than her dad with speed, and she has her mom's stats on top.

1)Neutron, Smasher (the Ultra Boy -analogue), Titan & (formerly, cuz Im remembering hes dead) Warstar; all of them together have enuff of a STR/DUR combo that they could keep SG busy for awhile.

Titan? He's merely big, he'd go down no problem. Likewise Warstar, a robot body is nice and all but it's not good enough against a Kryptonian or Titan-empowered Donna.

And Smasher, they lost *three* Smashers during the war. A total rookie with Ultraboy type powers (though iirc not the same power level) is going to run into a lot of problem, he is literally his planet's fourth candidate for the job.

Original Smasher, maybe, not current. This one lost to Queen Medusa easily in a fight, and Medusa's skilled and all, but she's not super high in the power charts.

2) Donnas not a bad fighter, but like I said she's not = WW, and only blind fan-wishing paints her as such.

She's not equal to WW, but she's still pretty high up there. Highly skilled and closer in power than ever.

that fragile could drop her right in the middle of Kryptons debis field, which both removes her from play & in all probability insta-kills her. SG is fast, but its not like she *cant* be touched by anything (or any1 on this team, for that matter).

And that fragile is also off the team.

How does he use his power anyway? I can find out he can teleport but not the requirements. Touch, throw something, what?

She does have a pretty strong will, and the team has quite a few people who'll be looking for Telepaths. That's pretty much Batman's job.

Once they have the enemy mind located, they rush and take out the telepath and there's not much this Guard can do about it.

Why do you guys type in green?

I've always found in-post signatures and special font styles to be somewhat asinine.

no offense, but I post it in that color due to liking how it appears on-screen, so dont take this the wrong way but the answer is "no".

sorry, but her recent showing in JLA doesnt automatically mean shes = an avg GL, nor does it overshadow her past showings. I do grant that she can function in both the capacities U mentioned however.

sorry, but simply having a few bruisers on a team doesnt automatically give them the win, for if that were the case then the kryptonians wouldve been successful when they tried to invade Earth awhile back.

and I know she does, but that doesnt mean shes in SGs class, now does it? tbch, Id put her around Spiderman -lvl based on observing her thru the years......and its not like her fights w/JQ (or anyone else reall) were all ktfo's either.

and I must do the same, since this JLA -team only has 1, *maybe* 2 powerhouses.

actually, post-IC there've been 2 Superwomen, one of whom even had kryptonian-like abilities, and from wat I remem of Donna stepping into WW-role for a time she had quite a time doing it, largely due to her not being god-blessed like Diana was.

moreover, Id like to point out that SW wasnt knocked out by Donna (their fight was most even), and she apparently was faking being kayo'd by SG.

ppl who grow tend to get stronger, as well as more durable, so U cant discount him (nor was I saying they could SOLO them either), and it doesnt how many Smashers die since its the powerset we're comparing (nor does being 4th make 1 an automatic incompetant either).

sure, and the number of telepathic assualts shes fought off are how many?? and how easy do U think it is to find a tp'er anyways; look for the person who has a halo-effect around their head?

yea, I dont think *thats* gonna work too often........
