Black Lantern Corps vs Cancerverse

Like ID stated before, the GE was tearing through multiple Celestials, T/A, and Galactus. There's no way Nekron is standing up to that. No way.

They weren't killed! Just crippled and it would take them eons to heal. Cancerverse got this.

I would think so. Krona (With a small sample of Nekron's power) was owning Guardians. And this was when they were respected. He also owned a Guardian just by touching them.

And then you have Spectre as well.

Sirius77@ there is a whole lot being overlooked

Its not simply Death coming in, and destroying the Cancerverse. The ritual was essentially reversed, since Death claimed Mar-Vell (the champion of life) in the middle of the pact. If Nekron wants to do the same, than the necessary elements would need to partake.

I find that hard to beleive, if Nekron is going to have his hands tied with the Galactus Engine alone.

Than you also have to factor in that Black Lanters arn't the only ones with the option add its enemies on to their allies. The Cancerverse could convert its foes into cancer cretures through Necropsy.

You can bring up how easily Nekron disposed of the Anti-Monitor. Look at how the Galactus Engine was trucking its way through Galactus, Angled Ones, and the Celestials all at once....killing Aegis in the processes.

You bring up the Spectre being converted, well the Galactus Engine was formerly Galactus of that universe converted, and empowered by the Angled Ones.

I think this would make a good battle, its not as one-sided.

Well in the event that the MAO try that, I really see no reason as to why nekron wont reverse it as well. However, I doubt that death would have been unable to achieve what she did without the ritual. The way I read it, it seemed as if the MAO needed the ritual to destroy her, and not the other way around. I believe that her absence was what allowed them to take over the universe, and that her return was what weakened them.

Nekron can have the same effect, as he is at his core, another for of death. Also, I re-read Thanos imperative, and cancerverse colossus, cancerverse venom, among others were killed outside of their universe by beings like the annihilators. I don't think that their immortality extends completely beyond their cancerverse. It was stated by Ronin on page 11 of issue #1 of Thanos Imperative:

" They can absorb six or seven times what we would consider lethal force before perishing."

So they can die in our universe, it just has to be six or seven times the damage.

I don't see why he would have to worry about both. The Galactus engine would be a huge problem were it not linked to the MAO, but as far as I can see, if Nekron or one of his avatars gets to Lord Mar-Vell, the battle apparently gets a little more difficult for the mao.

They could try to convert others through necropsy, but that would take way too long. However, all it takes for nekron to convert them to his side is pretty much just the word "RISE."

Yeah the Galactus engine was a boss, and one thing that I never understood... weren't Tenebrous and Aegis supposed to be dead lol? Continuity error! But seriously though, the engine is a big problem, but like I said, if Lord Marvel goes, so does it. However, it will take out a crap-ton of Bl's before that and I'd like to see what a battle between it and BL Specter would be like.

Agreed. To be honest, I could see this going either way as well. Both sides have really good chances of winning, and extremely powerful players.

Sirius, don't forget that BL have Swamp Thing, Anti-Monitor, and Superboy Prime in their lineup. All true powerhouses. Not to mention PC Superman.

Black Lantern's bosses include
Nekron

Swamp Thing

Anti-Monitor

Spectre

Superboy Prime

Kal-L

Aaaaaand id's favorite, Kent Nelson (Dr. Fate)

Yeah, just going by what we've seen on panel, most of the BL's on DC's side all have their feats prior to being BL, along with being indestructible barring white light.

However, most of the cancerverse beings are essentially featless, except for the fact that we know that in a neutral setting it takes 6-7 times what it would take to kill them normally. They have the Galactus engine, The Many Angled Ones, and a universe's worth of beings with a fairly decent hf. So that is still a pretty beastly line-up.

The Black Lanterns have Nekron, Specter, and ST among other powerful players for certain. However, I don't know if this is anyone who has every been a BL for any period of time, so I don't know if Prime would be included. I'd have to check with "Id". But with a nigh-infinite supply of Black rings and beings on their team that can't die, and will constantly have their ranks strengthened every second, the edge would probably go to the BL's imo. I don't think that it will be easy for either side though, and that's my point.

Good scan, i read the entire arc but i just noticed this now (unrelated to this thread), but there is a way to kill Thanos. :-)

In regards to this thread, BL win. You don't have to be dead for nekron to take you. How many marvel characters have died and came back? they will be in his service as well.

The Cancerverse have a firm roster.

Lord-Marvell
Dr. Strange
Adam Magus

Hard to tell, but Nekron being somewhat of an abstact of Death is a key factor here.

If he can kill Cancerverse beings the same way as Thanos, then I'd be more inclined to give this to the Black Lanterns. Otherwise it's a stalemate without knowing more about the Many Angled Ones and the other abstracts behind the Galactus Engine.

Cancerverse stomps. They were dominating Celestials, Galactus and other abstracts. Much more firepower from the marvel event.

black lanterns win this effortlessly.

The entire plot device in beating the Cancerverse was to reverse the necroposy, which takes place in the ritual.

Hmm, good point. Howver, my first point was that if they did perform the ritual (which they probably would because Nekron is Death and BH is his avatar), then Nekron could reverse it because he is a death abstract just like marvel's. However, unlike marvel death, he is in every BL and has the ability to become any one of them whenever he wants apparently.

Even so, the elements needed to beat the Black Lanterns are still present. After all they are the champions of life. A perverse form of life, but life none the less. If we apply the laws of equivalency, The Black Lanterns may die by the hands of the Cancer-People no different than how the White Lantern corps dropped them.

I have trouble seeing that, as the Black Lanterns are killed by white light. White light is made by combining all the colors of the emotional spectrum. No such spectrum exists in any of their power sets, in fact it has been shown that only multiple ring users can deliver permanent death to a BL. The only other case of this happening is when creatures that are linked to the white light entity in some way and innately radiate white light project it under special circumstances and kill the BL, like in the case of Dove. So because the energy required to defeat them is so obscure and essentially not present, I don't believe that anyone short of the abstract players can deliver permanent death to the BL for that very reason, and their [the Black Lanterns] numbers will continue to grow with every cancerverse being to which they deliver temporary death.

Converting them was nearly instant.

The first time with willing participants, yes. However, keep in mind, all BL are an extension of Nekron, and thus essentially mind-controlled by him, and I doubt that he will willingly become a part of "the invaders" as he calls all living things.

I dressage, Cancerverse can only be one-shotted if the Mar-Vell is killed in the actual ritual. Its Black Hand the posses a problem. If Black Hand is revived, it servers Nekron connection to the real world, banished back to its dimension. If Black Hand forgoes the ritual, it will kill its abstract concept of death.

Which would mean that Black Hand would have to be alive in order to die in the ritual, which he isn't. So no dead avatar, no dead (killed) death imo.

However, like I said, when Mar-Vell started the Necropsy, he obtained the permission of those around him, and they were converted, he or the MOA will not be able to revive BH unless he wants to be revived, which he really doesn't. The only reason why it worked on him before was because of a combination of the WL entity and the WL itself. I believe that the BL have the edge because while the cancerverse beings can be killed (albeit temporarily, or permanently if you have the time), the BL cannot be killed because they are already dead, they cannot be destroyed barring an abstract entity or white light, and they cannot be brought back unless they choose to be apparently, and they are mind-controlled by Nekron as I said before. So again, it will be a tooth and nail battle to the death (no pun intended 😛) for either side, but I think that the BL have a slight edge.

Spectre is a being beyond life and death, he is God's Wrath, yet the ring took him over like it was nothing.

Then again an argument can be made as to why the ring was useless against the Phantom Stranger.

Because the Stranger is a boss. 😎

Black Lanterns r@pe the Canververse shock troops while Nekron cripples the higher ups like Death did.

Be serious. Cancer verse is way too powerful to even be challenged here.

Nekron can solo this
