Iceman vs Starhawk

VS

So, this comes out of the GotG vs X-Men thread. For those who are unfamiliar with the character, Starhawk's powerset includes instantaneous FTL speed, reflexes, extremely powerful energy manipulation and limited precog abilities.

I think on paper, SH has Bobby's number, but in a forum battle, Iceman is a beast who, imho, tends to punch well above his weight class.

My honest opinion is that it is a real mismatch in powers, ie: I'm not sure Bobby could reasonably deal with SH's speed and energy manip (he went toe-to-toe with Korvac for a while), while at the same time, IM's ability to survive the death of his body would be very difficult for SH to overcome.

so, PIS/CIS off (if it changes anything, let me know your thoughts with CIS on), and for the sake of simplicity, this is SH without being combined with Aleta, meaning he can't make light constructs and has reduced durability/strength (though he was able to fight with Thor hand-to-hand for a brief period).

I want to give the solid majority to Starhawk, I'd say at least 7-8/10, but was genuinely interested in how other people thought this would pan out. It might be spite, but I know Iceman gets major props 'round these parts.

Classic Starhawk was cool as hell, easily mid Herald level. He wins.

Iceman wins.

any reason why?

it's very cold in space, but SH seems to be ok

Good thing Iceman can go colder than space.

Can he hit stuff that moves at the speed of light?

He'll be inside SH, so it wont matter.

Is Bobby inmune to mind-rape, because Starhawk mind-controlled Moondragon during the GotG run.

Iceman freezes his brain.

Starhawk

Feats for Starhawk? I always wanted to know more about this guy. Seems pretty formidable.

Well he's gone up against the likes of Thor and held his own. He went toe to toe with Korvac (after he had gained power from Galactus' ship) till he was eventually overwhelmed.

He's had other fights but I'm drawing a blank now. He should handily win this.

How can he defend against Iceman being inside him?
