Face off: Johnny Sorrow Vs Ghost Rider

Which character's signature move (full face reveal/penance stare) supersedes the other? Who wins a staring contest?

Not as knowledgeable on Johny Sorrow but Ghostriders stare has failed him twice against Symbiotes and depends on how " bad" his opponent is. Whit limits or stips does JS have?

Johnny.

Zack M Senior Member

Sorrow.

None known. Sorrow doesn't have many appearances, but it's never failed.

It was even effective against the wizard Shazam in the Rock of Eternity, turning him to stone. Everyone else it kills, though.

So it's definitely less effective against a skyfather-level being in his place of power, but still effective. You may draw whatever conclusions you want from that.

Dr. Mid Nite survived the stare somehow, due to his blindness, but thats all i recall.

It also didn't 'kill' Captain Atom, per se--it just sent him hurling uncontrollably through time.

This in and of itself is interesting because that's what happens to cap when he absorbs to much energy (eg battle with Monarch). So can we assume that Sorrows gaze emmits a "death" energy

Yeah, the Captain Atom reaction was a superb way to show off Sorrow's odd power.

Sounds like Sorrow has the better stare to me. What if he stared at Superman? Would Supes die?

Galan007 |Quantum Observer|

He would be incapacitated at the very least.

What kind of a stupid name is Johnny Sorrow? Sounds like an emo kid trying to be edgy.

Galan007 |Quantum Observer|

Ikr? It's almost as bad as 'Shuma Gorath', lol.

Zack M Senior Member

Shuma? Lol. Horrible.

CortSether Rotten

Fail some more, Galan. It makes sense for Lovecraft inspired horrors to have odd names because it's based on the R'lyehian language created by him. Whoever made the name Johnny Sorrow was clearly just trying too hard.

Zack M Senior Member

Still horrible .

"Id" The Man of Tomorrow

Would Johnny Sorrows gaze work on Pre DCnU Lobo?

Shuma-Gorath is probably the Earth equivalent of Shawn Gornall in R'lyehian. Pretty normal.

Zack M Senior Member

Shuma isn't normal

It's more normal than some names parents give their kids, like Anferny and Shiquata.
