So's MM. He retains all the racial memories and experiences of the Martians.

It gets around the tricky question of - what if the last survivor of your race was an idiot?

And he STILL jobs to Superman!

Yeah. And Superman's still afraid of him.

One of the few good things to come out of DCnU is the building up of MM I think.

Where are you getting his age from?

how telepathy isn't going to work Apocalypse is stronger more durable better molecular control better energy powers and way smarter and a better fighter J'onn's only advantage is speed and that's not going to save him.

I am in agreement here. Apoc needs more book time though, because he's become quite obscure over the past few years. This is likely the reason that he's so underwhelming on this board. I'd place Apoc on the same level as Atrocitus tbh. Both are above J'onn at their best.

No question. Poccy is a nightmare match up that J can't win. His strengths are Poccy's strengths, only Poccy's are stronger. The super speed thing is not a factor and just a carry over from D.C. universe. It would never be a determining factor, so I don't know why it keeps being mentioned.

No. You've either got an over-exaggerated view of Apocalypse or you're low balling J'onn.

Apocalypse will figure out a way how to beat himself.

UUUMMM, recent Apocalypse stomps.

On paper Apocalypse should take this for a solid majority, but J'onns feats >>> apocs feats IMHO

Comics are on paper. What exactly does "on paper" mean in this context? If you just listed their powers, they'd sound fairly similar.

You mean the recent Apocalypse who got cleaved near to death after Thor bypassed his armor's Celestial defenses?

no I am not both thor and hulk are stronger than j'onn and Apocalypse has over powered both of them.
professor x can match manhunter in telepathy and he can't even begin to get through Apocalypse's defenses durability Apocalypse can take a full powered shot from blackbolt Cyclops and more and not flinch.
and take an angry thor hitting him in the chest with his hammer and barely flinch Apocalypse is a higher tier than manhunter.

Dude, it was Cyclops who killed Apocalypse in that comic... and Blackbolt couldn't have been going all out--he never does--because it would have killed everyone on his team.

Apocalypse showed up in a suped-up version of his armor, sucker punched a green Thor who was too drunk to think to attack Apocalypse's exposed head rather than the armor itself. Once Thor realized how to bypass the armor's Celestial defenses, he made short work of Apocalypse, who couldn't even muster the balls to face Wolverine's human ancestor directly, and opted to burn down all of London instead.

The narration specifically mentions that even though Black Bolt's mouth is wide open, there's barely a sound coming out.

Thank you.

If you go by hype, sure.

Manjobber vs Jobberlips

Hmm,... Manhunter is faster so he jobs first
