Who would survive?

We could say that, if they are definitely more powerful in the same way the "weakling" is (I am pretending for a moment you are not venting about DBZ), in that a character could beat another without being powerful in the same way (Through speed, broken powersets, etc), that they could replicate the weakling's feat with greater ease, generally.

But see, wanna know how much more energy it would take to blow up Earth, than the moon?

About three orders of magnitude. A thousand times more energy.

That's an enormous difference, and Earth is not, in fact, a thousand times larger than the moon.

Actually it's closer to 1800 times

Most top heralds survive either way...

Wolverine would, just imo. Though it would probably take quite awhile for him to formulate somewhere else again. lol

[no one on Marvel Earth is surviving..

I can see several people surviving easily. People like Sentry, Superman, etc.

Survive if planet-destroying beam itself does not strike them

Gladiator
Green Lantern (assuming ring's auto-protect)
Martian Manhunter
Silver Surfer
Supergirl
Superman
Thor

If people have even one second to react and are not struck with the planet-destroying beam itself ...

Flash (Wally West)
Magneto
Rogue (by calling forth Gladiator's invulnerability and lack of need to breathe) [/B]

Heralds surving planetary explosions at point blank range...definitely PIS and definitely not the norm.

Think about it; punches and kicks from characters that dont generate nowhere near the amount of force we are talking about here typically injure these Herald and lesser characters...thats the norm for them.

The difference between a strike from a Class 100 brick and the energies that will be generated from the destruction of the Earth is like considering the distance between your home and local gas station, to the distance between your home and the planet Mars...

And we also have attacks with next to no collateral damage that we know for a fact are incredibly potent in spite of that fact. Hal's Krona Buster was a focused beam of energy that didn't bust a planet or even a city, yet we know that it likely ranks in as Hal's single greatest offensive attack based on what it did (ie. bust Krona).

Characters have such low and high showings that they shouldn't be considered the same character. So we should argue in levels.

1. High end feat heralds can survive
2. Norm everyday heralds would die
3. Low showing heralds would be almost vaporized

The planet being destroyed itself is no big deal to many many beings.

But that Death Star beam literally vaporized the planet. Shame we can't measure that against anything else though.
