DC Captain Marvel Vs Orion

Curious about how showings/power ups (or downs) pre and post DCnu affect/dont affect your call on the outcome.

1. Pre DCnu (no prep or BFR)

2. Current DCnu (no prep or BFR)

Orion in both.

Was thinking about this one myself. I think Captain Marvel can take him.

Orion.

Personally, i'm with Stoic, but i'm admittedly not impressed by Orion.
I know we have fans for both him and CM here though.

The MB can revert SHAZAM back to a boy. Forgot what issue, but Orion with the MB is a lot more versatile than Billy.

O'Ryan

Is there a scan of the MB doing that?
If so, just shoot this thread in the head! 😂

Captain Marvel wins.

Searching now. Orion has had some good fights against Superman. He's a better fighter than Billy, has a more powerful energy projection, and can heal, turn intangible via the MB. Along with a lot of other tricks. It's a solid win for Orion, IMO.

Orion ftw. Quite a bit tougher IMO.

Are u sure, I know he used the MB to access Shazam's power when he couldnt. That doesnt automatically transfer to say he could be transformed back by it though. Also would Orion even know he has that capability?

I agree Orion takes it, just not that way.

Ah, a misinterpretation.
No worries.
Like i said, not an Orion fan but, if he takes this, he takes this. 😛

ORION win this

surprised by this. i'd say it's pretty damn close to a split in the predcnu days. less sure about current versions. i'd give cm maybe a 5.5/10 majority. as bad as the astro-force can be for cm, the lightning would be at least as bad for orion. if he starts charging his punches he's stronger, faster and i'd give him the edge in durability though it's pretty slight.

Thats what i thought too, but the CM fans just didnt show up to add anything this time out.

Lightning charged punches are only from the animated universe DCU line not canon for standard DCU as far as I recall. Titles like "Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam" and "Shazam and the Monster Society of Evil".

In DCU proper (pre Nu52) the only way he can use the lightning as a weapon is to say Shazam and out move the lightning. This would depend on his adversary being at the point the lightning was going to strike. NU52, I have no clue.

Also not so Sure on the Durability front. In stamina and endurance abso freaking lutely Billy has the edge (pretty much how he always gets the best of BA who is superior in strength and durability). Orion has after all tanked things that cause serious damage to most new god's.

Cap has used lightning amped punches several times in preboot canon. Also he has never got the better of Adam and neither is Adam stronger or more durable than him.

Cap/Adam are absolutely equal in every aspect to the point they can turn each other in human by tricking them into the path of lightning of other. The sheer notion of Adam being stronger than Cap is absurd.

pretty much 👆 at all that.

I have to agree with that, too.
