The Human Torch Nova Blasts the JLA

And I have one that says it is akin to a nuke. Not to mention, mine is much more recent. Aren't you the one who always asks for recent scans?

So either your star is small, and the size of a small nuke, or my nuke is large, the size of an exploding star.

Add to that, IM easily absorbed another nova (his 'best' shot, no less), AND collateral damage (not 100% the best piece of evidence, but it adds to the picture), and you can see why Sin and I are skeptical.

Hhhhhmmm indeed.

You got a scan of that Iron man feat?

So like we said, only Batman survives.

Not a million degrees though, which was rivs original point.

Sin posted it, page 4.

^Who needs H1 with Math skills like those?

While we're mining Johnny's entire history, there's a hilariously old school feat where Johnny uses his nova blast to bust out of a giant adamantium box.

He healed from a trident stab in the chest (though maybe it was artist error).

if it's the one I'm thinking of, it's not artist error. Johns just likes to injure Aquaman and have him quickly heal off-panel for some reason.

Six pages in and myvearlier starement stands.
Feats, narration, and scans can be interpreted in wildly different ways depending on the argument one is trying to make.
Stats sheets as well.
Which is why i said

With thanks to riv.

Johnny's 'full nova blast' is enough to raze a city block. I reckon everyone tanks it, except Bats.

No idea what you're talking about, all i see is a dead link, but yeah, a million degrees would likely damage a city block quite well. 😛

Also, now i'ma get accused of bumping old threads...🙄

Strange, it shows up for me?

But yeah, it shows Johnny blasting Gladiator with his full nova blast - and Glads just laughing it off.

A million degrees *should* damage way more than just a city block - based on the scans seen so far of the nova blast actually being used, with some comments:

For - Human Torch would obliterate all these guys:

(burn LIKE the sun? Hyperbole.)

Against - Everyone tanks it, except Batman, who kicks the flame back at his face:

(city block razing - so backs the nuke size and starship size up).

Not sure what your point is but, okay. 👆

My point is, the nova blast is just hype, and when it is ACTUALLY used, the 'low' showings outweigh the 'high'.

IOW, whilst it may be seen as a weapon of last resort, a Hail Mary play, the JLA will all tank it, because for all its bluster, it isn't actually that powerful. Certainly not at this level.

If you say so.

Which you did. Ad nauseam.

Almost a month ago.

Yup.

I reiterated it as you kindly provided new information (to me) that further supported my claim.

Ha.

Slow posting day is our friend. 😆

I actually liked this thread in retrospect
