Of course if Thor gets serious and can't stand idly by anymore I'm backing Surfer cause that's when Thor gets KOed.

Surfer wins this 10 out of got darn 10. No one here is beating him. Remove Surfer and I would go with either Superman or Gladiator. Nova Prime with CIS off is deadly as well.

Versatility means squat when you are getting punched in the face.

IF Superman can hit Surfer in the face before he does anything you may have a point.

He obviously can since surfer is a slowpoke compared to him.

Gets beaten by HV or a tornado superman creates. Next.

Lawlz. Yeah, cis off a dude with control over the EM spectrum gets beaten by the heat vision of a dude powered by energy from the EM spectrum... The punching in the face quip is more likely.

Quasar doesn't belong?

CIS/PIS off? That means no Jobber mcGee Thor? I guess that makes it another Surfer/Supes/Thor fight.

No one's winning 10/10. That's almost objectively false. Look at the number of combatants. Statistical inevitability alone ensures no one character would even win 5/10. We're talking about percentages and likelihoods.

No less than 2-3 months ago, Thor fought Surfer to a standstill. Both fought dumb, of course, but that's 1v1, not a multi-person cluster****

Anyway, lowest Vegas payout would be on Surfer. I'd put the next lowest odds on either Hal (pre-FP), Thor, or Superman. Supes might be the most powerful overall, but also has more exploitable weaknesses than the others.

My wild card pick would be J'onn. Intangibility + TP, and he could outlast a lot of the bigger guns before swooping in for a late victory.

Points for no Hulk in the OP.

They're close enough to provide a challenge.

Surfer is the most powerful.

Extremely debatable.

Agreed, sort of, but you said 10/10. That's untenable in a fight this large.

If someone can provide me one instance of Surfer being koed since his rebirth, I would probably change my answer. His power level is insane along with his durability.

If this is pre-reboot DC, Superman.

If not, Thor. He's always had Norrin's number, tbh.

I would go with Thor or the Surfer here. I guess Superman could win as well with his 'fanboy power'.

Superman wins.

YEah going with a no one this. Superman maybe faster but I don't think he is going to be hitting Surfer before Surfer can react. Same with Thor or pretty much anyone on this list.

Yeah, no. CIS off Superman knocks Surfer and Thor out, before they can react.

You're quite welcome to debate this with me, on actual feats. And since you seem to be quite courageous today, also back up your "[same with Thor] or pretty much anyone on this list" part. As in, back up that, let's say, 2/3 of them are capable of reacting to Superman's speed.

With feats, as I've already mentioned.

This should be fun.

Superman is a contender, even if you don't like him.

A lot of people here are contenders.
