On one hand I really want to see K-M meltdown, on the other, the Wrecking Crew are related to Thor.

What to do, what to do.....

mhmm

Never seen such asinine comments in my life.

Because they were fighting him face to face, it wasn't a sneak attack. Colossus knew he was in a fight and knew who he was fighting. That's not a cheap shot.

I'll have to go look again but I recall Wrecker on his knees behind Colossus while he was crying about Colossus killing them, then he wacked hiim from behind.

This was also the Wrecking Crew+1.

He did get ko'ed, but as shown and stated he was morew powerful then Thing and got over-confident as he was toying with him.

So I guess Thor, Hercules, Avengers, Alpha Flight, Omega Flight etc are losers as they lost or the Crew were getting the better of them? 3 showings? jokes

That team of Avengers were weak. Come on man. I understand where you're coming from the Wrecker and his Crew are all over the place. On average Skaar would beat them. The Tanarak case is another matter, and should not be brought to light, as they were juiced up on some crazy power.

Skaar not taking on a bunch of very powerful characters could just be because he hasn't been around for the past 50 years, he's 12 years old or younger, or he's being trimmed down. Let's talk in another 20 years and then see how powerful Skaar is, and that's only if the goofballs at Marvel don't kill him off on some dumb sh1t. You say that you are well aware of how powerful the Old Power is, so you should know how high Skaar can amplify his power, and that with CIS on, he could swallow the Crew up and skewer them by millions of tons of sharp rocks.

That team consisted of Thor and Photon, not weak in the least. Then look at their fight with Alpha Flight and Beta Flight joined in too. That team would kill Skaar (Not talking about Omega Flight).

Correct, so we have actual feats of the Crew taking on powerful characters either giving them serious troubles or out right beat them. So to say Skaar stomps? Asinine. Yes I am aware he can amp to serious levels, but in his entire career how often has he reached those levels? Rarely at best.

I'm talking about the New Avengers team that the Wrecker tossed Luke Cage into another borough.

The Savage Hulk also came back and fought the Crew and what did he do to them? Do you have scans of that conflict?

Saying that he rarely went that far, is not saying that he can't reach those levels.

Oh yes that wasn't the most powerful version of the Avengers, but he still took it to a lot of big named characters. Something Skaar has yet to do.

Came back and fought Thunderball only and beat him. Crushed his thunderball.

and in the same way Wrecking Crew could tap into their often ignored abilities. Doesnt mean it will happen.

Not the fight that I'm talking about. I'm talking about a more recent battle between that Hulk and the Crew, when he took them all on, and beat the hell out of them. All characters get beaten, but I bet if you gave Thor, Hulk, Gladiator, Hercules, and others in that weight class a best out of 10 fights vs the Crew that the Crew would lose a vast majority of those matches.

I'm not as well versed with the Crew as you may be, but I have read some of the appearances. Can you name a few people outside of Asgardians that they removed powers from?

This one? and as I have said countless times there are some versions of the Crew that got power bosts or exotic powers that made them very uber. Yet people are ignoring that.

There's more, but that's a good range

Skaar alone did better against a more powerful version of the Hulk though. You know when they fought on the beach, and Skaar used the earth to severely hurt the Hulk. Do you have any other names outside of Asgardians that the Wrecker was able to power drain? Because this may not work on non Asgardian characters, like the Hulk, or Skaar.

Whoops you provided scans of what I asked you for. Let me check them out.

Sure, but didn't beat him or come close to beating that version either though. Yes....I posted the scans above.

Skaar had the upper hand until Betty intervened.

But he was amping off of the earthquakes Hulk was causing.

Okay I see them absorbing ambient energy waves, which mostly seem to be lightning, but I'm not sure that he would be able to absorb the Old Power, not saying that he can't. I'm just not 100% certain that he or they can. Skaar can also hit from a distance, causing a problem for the Crew to even make this a physical confrontation, and even then Skaar as seen on panel can amp. I guess it's like you said before, this depends on how they fight, or which Crew is being spoken of.

When I say ranged, I mean the type that would sink the entire battlefield swallowing the team whole, and compressing them. Compared to Skaar's abilities, the Crew look kind of one dimensional outside of power drainage.

Not in Skaar's character to do that (as in he has never done that to anyone of note), but the Crew have shown to generate forcefields, telepathy, magical spells, teleportation, energy absorbtion, illusion casting, superhuman strength, superhuman durability, etc. That's far from one-dimensional

Skaar was shown to be a stone cold killer on Sakaar, using deadly force isn't beneath him, and only up until recently has he shown any amount of restraint, and that was because of Banner showing him the ropes. You recall how numb he was after the Caiera incident right? I agree that if he's neutered, holding back, or generally fighting like an idiot that he would have worlds of problems with the Crew, but he seems to generally go for broke, wheres the Hulk (Savage) just wanted to be left alone.
