Without prep?

He's got the stuff lying around the place, I guess.

I see it didn't take long for this to turn in to forum surfer...

Superman still caves his head in.

Harald Jaekelson 😆

No one herald level stops surfer. The way thor is doing lately, well damn, I'm more than a little uncomfortable giving him the nod over even regular surfer now.

Thor

Thor could stop him but he would have to cut loose!

I don't know what "forum" Surfer is but I'd imagine that per the stips he'd be sort of a composite of Annihilation Surfer, Exiles Surfer and Mc2 Surfer.

In Annihilation he straight punked a guy that was formerly a peer of his in power. Ravenous was for all intents and purposes frozen scared because Norrin had become something else entirely. Casually destroying a planet in the process just to prove a point. I don't even think Thor has ever shown that kind of casual power before. Only two people come to mind. WBH displayed that kind of casual dominance over former peers, but I don't think WBH exists anymore. Maybe Supes has, but he's not in this thread. So I'm going to say no current Marvel herald beats him.

Surfer has destroyed planets before casually and beat down characters who beat him by doing it like Morg. Ravenous was a ***** anyway, xenith had him scared as shit too.

Context. Ravenous sans Kurrs was a *****. Ravenous with kurrs was a peer to Norrin in power prior to Galactus upgrading/restoring Norrin. Afterwards it was a different story.

Morg? Gotta check on that one.

The currs were re-generating after each kill as shown on panel. Surfer killed them when he realized they were his source of power and yet they were present atm when surfer busted the planet. Check SS annual 7.

Because I'm not exactly sure where the crux of our disaggrement lies I'll recap my points:

*Ravenous W/Currs was a peer to Norrin in power.

*Norrin was Upgraded, restored or whatevered by Galactus, Norrin then pwned Ravenous essentially without even having to resort to serious physical violence against him by casually destroying the planet that they were fighting on

*Ravenous shat his pants as he wondered out loud what had Norrin become.

I said he wasn't a ***** with the currs, but he was a ***** without the currs. And by that I mean he (Ravenous) w/Currs was a peer of Norrin's prior to the Galactus upgrade. After the upgrade Ravenous was a feeb to Norrin.

Ok now, so where are we having our issue?

I hope it helps.

I'm not sure if I'm more amazed at the number of people I DON'T know on that list or the number of people that I do.

I'm also not really sure, judging by some of those names, what the actual ranking criteria was or is or who decided it.

It DOES give me a much better idea of what people are talking about now, though, so it did and does help a good deal.

Thank you for your time.

Annihilation Surfer was a beast. Casually creating a black holes and destroying planets, beating the shit out of Ravenous, and taking on two Galactus level beings. But now he's currently a fry cook in Broxton. lol.

LOL

Taking on and surviving against abstracts is pretty wtf?!?! He beat them through some clear cut plot device, but the fact he even survived long enough to do so was nutz. Don't forget, Thor has done something similar when he went up against a group of Celestials.

He was.

*Norrin was Upgraded, restored or whatevered by Galactus, Norrin then pwned Ravenous essentially without even having to resort to serious physical violence against him by casually destroying the planet that they were fighting on
Which has nothing to do with increase in power. Surfer has wrecked his peers before.

*Ravenous shat his pants as he wondered out loud what had Norrin become.

He did that against xenith too.

That wasn't due to upgrades. Like all high heralds surfer holds back and when he didn't he made ravenous shat his pants.

Ok now, so where are we having our issue?

The issue is that surfer wasn't seen as more powerful, he wasn't holding back and that's it.

It wasn't as spectacular as surfer fans made it to be as TI retconned them as just M-bodies. Surfer was nearly killed by just a few blows, high heralds have done better than that multiple times.

I re-read annihilation and found something interesting. Ravenous was stalemating surfer pound for pound untill surfer killed his curr even when surfer was in his mythical "annihilation-surfer mode". The planet busting and ravenous shitting his pants came later.

Interesting indeed.
