On paper they are supposed to be way beyond heralds. I think it's their passive nature that makes them susceptible to getting punked once in a while. Quasar tanking an amped punch, knocking one down, and even absorbing it's energy are pretty high feats. Hard to take much away from what he was able to do in that scene.

Then how do you explain a Watcher dying in the Herald My Rage blast but Thanos' corpse was unharmed?

How do you explain how Nova survived and I believe he even shielded Phyla and the others, yet the Watcher got owned.

Can't really explain. How can BRB put a crack on Galactus's noggin on one hand, but almost cause reality to collapse while fighting other powerful beings? Comic inconsistencies....

I'm not a watcher expert, so if Leo or someone else can shed some light on what kind of power they wield, lets hear them...

Just thought of something...
Maybe that watcher could care less if he died since apparently, they can bring themselves back to life.

it was the energy of a star. he didn't create any flare....

The Aakon created something that was destabilizing the sun which was causing sunspots to form. They were pretty much making the sun unstable hence the giant sunspot. They intended for the sun itself to be the "bomb" instead of a bomb that Nova first thought was aboard the Aakon ship.

I'm still unsure as to why Richie said the giant sunspot was "different somehow".

^ Quasar did something pretty similar with anti-matter sunspots that were blanketing the Sun.

See what I mean? You accuse me of lying but you don't even know what you are talking about. Rachel never hurled moons, she hurled small ASTEROIDS (you can even compare them in size to Necrom's body). Necrom was the one hurling moons. She never slaughtered heralds. The only herald she beat was Nova, the WEAKEST of Galactus' heralds.

lol lowballing. you need me to highball rachel? asteroids or moons, she has retarded feats to match the poor showings she's had. no nova counter. 👆


One flying brick, one speedster, and one energy manipulator. And they didn't even need all three of them. We saw this when Hyperion had to fly ahead to check on Strange, Whizzer and Spectrum had him all under wraps.[quote]

no scans, no context, no nova counter. 👆

[quote]Quasar beat him when he stopped becoming suicidal. Deathurge even states this "nor can I be harmed by someone who wishes to die."

and? he resisted him for a prolonged time, then won. no nova counter. 👆


The same guy Hawkeye beat by using a smoke arrow. Luckily for Nova those exploits won't work on him or his power.

lol lowballing. no nova counter. 👆


He was going to die anyway. Since he touched the Q-bands and mimicked them yet was unworthy of the power. Did you forget Quasar saying this? Even if Quasar never lifted a finger against Creel once he touched the Bands and being unworthy of them, he was going to die. Go reread the issue if you don't believe me.

worthy or not q could have done the SAME thing to him by simply force-feeding him the bands. no nova counters. 👆


Surfer actually made him shout out in pain. Quasar did nothing of consequence to Surfer. If the fight continued Surfer could have amped his strength to CL100 levels and humiliated Quasar like Gladiator did.

lol a cry of pain=winning now? q was constantly draining him. ultimately he would have won the fight most likely. how'd nova do again? oh yeah, you likely don't know. and nice lowball. again. thor has to STRAIN to break a small shield. q constructs DO vary depending on a number of factors. no nova counter. 👆


Masterson wasn't exactly going all out either now was he? We saw what happened when he started to put his foot down. The electricity caused a feedback knocking Quasar down and breaking him free of the Enchantress' spell.

lol q was ready to behead masterson, but yeah, masterson was clearly going to win. so q has stalemated thor and ss. nova counter.....?


It says right there on panel what he did : He "allowed the power of a nearby star to FLOW THROUGH the Quantum Bands and RIGHT ON OUT" creating that flare. If he was indeed capable of what you are suggesting he did, he wouldn't have needed Binary's help when the was trying to save the Sun.

lol it's on panel. lowball all you'd like. i'm seriously thinking of reporting you though cuz this is preposterous.

You're the one making sh|t up Leo. Nothing I said was a lie or false. [/B]

lol uh-huh. asteroids/moons. sue me. stop lowballing quasar and start working on showing anyone what nova can do to win this or get the hell out of the thread my friend.

not bad. i like rich's a little better, but odg is right. it's similar to a different q feat. i'll see if i can scrounge it up later.

Yes, highball Rachel, this should be fun. And there is a HUGE difference between asteroids and MOONS, especially in this regard since the we saw on panel those asteroids were nowhere near the sizes of the MOONS Necrom flung at her.

and? he resisted him for a prolonged time, then won. no nova counter. 👆

Dude, Deathurge straight up said that the reason Quasar won was because he stopped being suicidal. It's not anything special to deal with Deathurge. Whizzer and Spectrum were doing it just fine.

lol lowballing. no nova counter. 👆

But it's true. Hawkeye beat him with a smoke arrow.

MMhmm. But on panel AM was going to explode anyway. So .......

No, cry of pain not equal winning stop putting words in my mouth. Quasar did nothing to Surfer and admitted no matter how much power he drained Surfer still had enough to knock him for a loop. Surfer's attacks caused Quasar pain, Quasar's attacks did NOTHING to Surfer. See the difference?

lol q was ready to behead masterson, but yeah, masterson was clearly going to win. so q has stalemated thor and ss. nova counter.....?

When Masterson was about to get serious he made a fool of Quasar. Quasar stopped holding back and Masteron electrocuted his ass I'd post the entire fight but what's the point?

lol it's on panel. lowball all you'd like. i'm seriously thinking of reporting you though cuz this is preposterous.

Go ahead, report. The Mods can READ what's on panel. Quasar did nothing but allow the power of a nearby star to FLOW THROUGH AND OUT of the Q-Bands. If he did what you were claiming, containing and absorbing the power of a star, he wouldn't have needed Binary's help to save the Sun. Both scenarios occurred during the same writer.

lol uh-huh. asteroids/moons. sue me. stop lowballing quasar and start working on showing anyone what nova can do to win this or get the hell out of the thread my friend.

Yeah, I mean what's the difference between 15 foot asteroids (approx) and MOONS. 🙄 It's all the same in Leo's world. Yet you accuse me of lowballing and making sh|t up.

hmm, maybe i'll do the rachel thing, but it's seriously off-topic here. and listening to you lowball anything that would be shown would be uber annoying to boot.

anyway, i'm glad we have this straightened out--quasar dealt with phoenix/mordred simultaneously, stalemated thor and was in no way ready to lose but was going to behead masterson, stalemated ss for a prolonged length of time, did very well vs a watcher (and celey, watchers DO vary in their levels imo. they have great feats--aaron the rogue and uatu in particular, but it's still a nice feat for wendell), beat quantum via probability field manip, beat creel, beat the abstract ananomaly, matched galactus's eye beams briefly, absorbed and controlled the power of a star, beat death urge, etc.... btw, those are just a few showings. he's got A LOT MORE. he performed these types of feats regularly. he has very few low feats and was very consistently portrayed throughout his series.

and....................i know you've ignored this over and over, in favor of lowballing every quasar feat, but do you plan on actually mentioning, you know, [b]NOVA in any post at some point....? or the fact that q has already used nova's powers? you know, something relevant to YOUR stance that nova wins......?

feel nova wins, i don't care. but don't tell me or anyone it's based on past feats or history. annihilation doesn't detract from all of quasar's previous showings, as much as you like to favor singular feats over whole-scale depictions. i'll simply ignore any more of your posts that don't have something about NOVA in them

You wont' because she sucked as the Phoenix Avatar and you know it.

He was FAILING to deal with Mordred/Phoenix at the same time. That's why Mordred broke free of Quasar's construct. It was Excalibur that saved Quasar's ass twice. Once when Captain Britain freed him from the Crimson Bands :

And the other time when Nightcrawler and Widget BFRed Mordred into another dimension freeing Rachel from his control. You can't even get this right.

Yes, list those "great feats" for Aaron and Uatu. Doom with Aaron's power almost KOed himself busting IW's force fields!

Beat abstract Anomaly? You realize he "beat" it by giving up right?

We can't even begin till I straighten up your exaggeration and outright errors regarding Quasar and his fights/feats.

Ure talking bout the time Wendell was sucking up the anti-matter contaminating the sun. He apparently was transferring it into the quantum zone. Epoch warned him that it would take days to finish the deed, but was quite a feat seeing as he had to go inside the sun to accomplish it.

It was Binary who ended up creating a "white hole" which sucked up most of the anti-matter in a few pages. It was stated that she had the powers of the sun making that attempt easier for her than Quasar's...

No clue brother. I just settled on calling it "dark matter", but the scans suggest it's some weird type of energy.

The second image is a duplicate. Sorry gents. Here is the correct scan in the sequence of events.

In contrast, Rider actually contained the energies within himself. A phenomenal feat imo.

@Leo, I think lowballing is the worst form of debate here, so I'll try to post Nova scans that at least parallel some of the Quasar showings that you named off. And I'll also try to compare and contrast some of the encounters that they've had with common opponents, which is where I think Nova has a small advantage (if any). Sound fair?

entirely. 👆

ignore zop. if you find some comparable feats i will post scans. i was intending to give a broad-form list of some of the things q has done. it (should) go without saying that context of course comes into play, but i was giving highlights, waiting to see a similar list put forth by someone who was supporting nova.

as i said a long time ago--i'm open to having my mind changed (i'm a new warriors lover from way back) but there hasn't been much posted from the nova side (zop's lowballing aside....) so, yeah, i'd be totally up for a nice informal compare/contrast between the 2. 🙂

Here let everyone see the entire thing IN CONTEXT :

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

3) Binary laughing at Quasar's attempt to save the sun, notice how Quasar reacts as soon as she begins setting up her white/black hole :

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

4) Continued, look at the before/after pic of the Sun! A) It was COVERED from end to end by the anti-matter sunspots, B) Her power extended END TO END and gobbled it up :

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Again notice Quasar's reaction. This wasn't a "herald" level feat.


This wasn't a good feat for Quasar.............at all. This was ALL Binary. He even thought she was an "omnipotent" that Epoch called in to save the Earth.

Nova's "sun feat" sh|t's all over Quasar's "sun feat" here.
