Who would be a good matchup for Zoom now?

Started by cdtm3 pages

Is this from the Flashpoint thing?

Zooms supposed to be responsible for the coming reboot, but it's going to be a hard sell explaining how anything he can do can affect "everything", from Supermans origins and costume to other characters who predate Flash...

That's the point of having new feats, right? If Zoom got upgraded, what he did or failed to do in the past is irrelevant. Superman failed to fly in 1938, Flash couldn't run faster than lightspeed, Thor couldn't move faster than lightspeed...it's all changed, and none of what came before matters when you're talking current versions

any decent precog (Franklin Richards), or Time Traveler (Classic Strange).

lol, and yet if I paired Superman against those characters, you would say he wins by speedblitz! hypocrisy ftw.

Anyway, I'm fairly sure Quan is talking about Hunter Zoloman Zoom, rather than Eobard Thawne Professor Zoom, who's the one from Flashpoint.

Lucifer might be able to get a couple of wins against him, but it would be an uphill battle. Zoom is just so fast, most of the time Morningstar wouldn't even know he was in a fight.

Living Tribunal is completely outclassed. Before he can even think of attacking, the fight will be over.

Absolutely. LT has often been taken unawares even by much slower opponents, and has never gone up against anyone even approaching Zoom's level of speed. It would be like pitting a slug against a mongoose.

Random poster: Zoom could take down a skyfather.

quanchi112: That's odd because I've never seen him taken down a skyfather and failed to take down much less than skyfathers, do you have any scan?

Random poster: So just because he's failed to take down character weaker than skyfathers doesn't mean that he can't take down a skyfather?

quanchi112: Scan?

Random poster: Zoom could take down the Living Tribunal because the Living Tribunal have been taken down by less.

I'm sorry but quanchi112 just roasted you.

Zoom's best feats are so fast they can't even be depicted on panel.

So then what has happened currently that makes you think he can best odin ? Simple question so quit dancing around it.

I did no dancing. I never mentioned anything about Zoom beating Odin, in fact I think he'd get his ass kicked if he tried. I was merely making a point.

That said, Zoom may reach the point where he would be able to take on Odin soon enough

More wishful thinking.

Jubilee.

Waverider.

Iron Fist.

Extensive Chronol Powers
His temporal powers are extensive, and not bounded by the 4th dimension. With the capacity to pull of Zoom like feats. Time Sink can hit a second earlier, or a year late. He demonstrates this, by not only dodging Legion lightening attack. But took a time out go look for a knife.

Legion assimilates Time Sink, gaining the ability to call up all his abilities, and experience on the whim.

Legion can now pull off Zoom like feats.
