Proteus Vs Man-Thing

Classic Proteus, starting in random human body, classic MT.
No prep. No BFR. Fight takes place deep in the Florida Everglades.

Sheer power output, Proteus would win. Man Thing could always reform, however,

The problem would be as the fight goes on, Proteus would be burning that frail human body up. Man Thing could win by attrition.

Thanks, DS!

Has Man Thing been possessed before?

Proteus' power dwarfs Man-Thing's (as least in terms of scope). He warped an entire city effortlessly. He could just warp Man Thing into a latex condom and walk away in time for dinner.

I dont know about this possession thing.
Zop is right in that this isnt spiritual, but, i think that might stand a better chance given MTs nature. He isnt a traditional physical body.

You realize, this isn't a "spiritual" possession right? Proteus forces his consciousness inside the host body and it's over. It hasn't failed Proteus yet.

This.

Fight wouldn't last a second.

Didagree.
MT can bounce back from any damage Proteus inflicts, as was put out.
The possession thing.. Really dont see it.

The possession is just the icing on the cake, Proteus doesn't even need it to win.

I read Proteus' bio before posting this thread. I know what he can do, and MTcan survive it.
The possession thing, i hadnt thought of, but having considered it i dont think its possible.

MT has literally reformed from nothing, and he has nothing to possess

Going with Proteus, I remember what he could do from that X-Man TAS and few other appearances in the comics.

He's not "damaging" anything. He's WARPING REALITY. That's far worse for Man Thing.

Anyhow, i recalled his comics appearances too, but i looked the character up so as not to over/under sell him. He does have limits.

Come on he punched Colossus halfway across the island, Magneto's blood to lead and taking mental possession of Nightcrawler.

Punching MT results in getting muck on your hand. He doesnt have any blood. There's nothing to be in possession of.

But i said limits.

...any body he possesses quickly begins to break down so he constantly needs new host bodies...reality warping ability is contingent upon line of sight: if he shifts his sight to another object and warps it, the previous object he was warping will return to normal...Metals disrupt his energies...

I'm starting to think this character suffers Dr. Manhattan syndrome, where posters give his powers way more scope than they actually have due to few appearances and nostalgia remembering same.
