The Surfer Challenge!!!

There is no correct answer.

in terms of sheer on panel versatility over time?? i may just agree with kg on this one. thor could be close, but lacks consistent diversity imo. ss has done pretty well everything from time travel to astral projection to tp assaults to high level matter manip, physical power, superspeed....... he's been shown to be able to use almost every type of power at one point or another. about all he's lacking is reality manip and that's hard to come by at this level. i think others have greater versatility in specific areas, (FS can manip matter better probably, nate is more versatile with tp, etc) but i can't really think of anyone across the board more versatile. certainly not with the showings over time. even mages only use a single powerset--magic. the effects can be wide ranging, but sheer displayed versatility of powers? ss is extremely hard to beat.....

Thor+Mjolnir will give Surfer a run for his money. Possible enough for the win.

fair enough. it is a single power source, akin to magic in that sense i suppose. his version of it is just far more wide ranging than the pc of the other heralds.

yeah, he is a tiny galactus. the others just got a few thematic powers matching their designs. I always thought the in-universe cause of this was rooted in norrin's history and personality: the dreamer/ astrophyscist/explorer/martyr schtick.

Comparable, or better:

Loki, Zatanna, Strange, Daredevil, Thor, Firestorm, Iron Man if you factor in every single different suit... not individual however.

Not sure if Zatanna, Loki have as wide ranging of feats, but they should be easily comparable

Thor as well, but he'd be a lot better if he wasn't such a doofus at times. Though this goes for Surfer as well...

Doom

Oh sorry. It just seemed like the right answer.

That's true. I'd like to compare and see who can list off the most feats. Thor's got some pretty abstract shit going on for him too.
