Originally posted by marwash22No. I mean ill count people like Tony, Doom, Iron lad etc because their respective armors are their power-sets. However, artifacts etc will just make the waters more murky then they already are.
are we counting characters who are versatile via the use of items? e.g. Thanos, Temugin, etc?
If we're keeping it below Skyfather:
Classic Strange is my top.
After that it's Thor. Surfer often wins their vs. forum matchup, and I agree, but in terms of sheer versatility (and they both have oodles of feats) Mjolnir is a goddamn swiss army knife of versatility. He's like Mega Man x1000.
Here's a good way to gauge it: "If you were against someone, but didn't know who, who would you pick?" Surfer's the better matchup sometimes, but Thor's the all-around play. Surfer gets punked occasionally vs. certain power sets. Thor's far less likely to encounter such stomps (see also: Thanos's pimp hand).
4th, Doom
...
Metas? Tony, no question. I consider power sets like Mimic to be cheating for thread purposes, but yeah him too.

By this definition, I'd say Ironman meets the thread's criteria the best. As physically powerful as any meta-level brick, with a ridiculous amount of tech on him at all time that he uses effectively in combat, rounded off with his capacity to call on all previous technology and armors- a capability that he makes frequent use of.

Let's take actual use into considering- copiers are kinda a cheat, but a lot of the time they aren't a fraction as creative as the original.
Rogue's one of the few copiers I know who comes up with *more* original uses for the powers she gets. For example, Emma+Scott=scatter lasers. Or using Rockslide+Dust+Mercury+Armor=Exploding armored metal forcefield-reinforced cloud of spikes.
