Who can beat amped Superman?

Started by Digi4 pages

Just saw the no manipulating his durability stipulation in the OP. It removes the metal manipulators and matter manipulation as a win. I stand by the ones I listed from Trans though. There's probably others.

Also, Majestic w/Creation Blades.

We'll have to see what abhi has to say about that.

Wait, that nub isn't banned!? 🤨

Did he finally get banned?

I think he's recuperating from the Majestic vs Surfer thread atm.

To be fair, Majestic didn't have the blades in that thread iirc. They would indeed cut through Superman's amped skin in this thread though.

Carver nerfed a lot of peoples' ability to win with the no manipulation rule, but there's still exotic stuff that could win. Or just overpowering him, enhanced durability or not. Like, classic Validus had his way with any number of Superman-level characters. The durability would just buy him more time before death. Or the Destroyer, which I think could do the same eventually. Or any of the high-end sorcerers with all their exotic options.

Because, let's be clear, Superman already has great durability. Nothing outside of super-metal constructs is piercing him anyway. I see this thread as an upgrade for him, but not a gigantic one.

With Vibranium added to his durability, energy output and anything physical would be absorbed. Pointless attacks. What outside of this can harm Supes? It's debatable if the creation blade could cut Cap shield.

Lol

What's funny about that?

Teleporting his arms into his head. Can he even do that?

Why wouldn't he be able to?

Black Bolt. Focus some of his scream into his inner ear.

Hank Pym w/ antarctic vibranium capsules? Or does that violate the spirit of the thread?

Power duplicators/drainers like Absorbing Man and Parasite. Although their likelihood of winning is by no means assured, much less significant.

Magik, since she pierced Cap's shield on-panel with her Soulsword because it's phased intangible. Point is, it can't really be blocked and it can attack/disrupt the soul.

Any spellcaster with a more esoteric repertoire.

Any energy absorber who's pulled energy like sunlight from their opponent/surroundings. Starfire, Triumph, Sundown, Nightshade, etc. Unless his new skin somehow prevents that? In which case, somehow, I see Superman's skin being transmuted into Cap's shield-like substance as blocking his ability to absorb new sunlight.

Also, Iron Fist punching him.

Why would screaming in to his ear do any more damage than a standard scream?

Because it's directed into his ear, duh.

Because I don't think Black Bolt's typical scream is going to damage his new force absorbing, super durable body very much. Black Bolt's probably going to need to focus it towards his ears and overload his sense of super-hearing and balance. Like he did with Gladiator.

If this were a significant scream or an all-out one, he probably wouldn't have to focus it.

Wouldn't someone just need to get INTO Superman's skin to beat im? 😛

Anyone who can shrink or create attacks from within an area that bypasses the skin.

Also, hasn't King Thor already broken Cap's shield?
