D.C. vs. Marvel heralds, Pick Three.

Started by TheLordofMurder2 pages

My DC team would mirror my Marvel team and would consist of Superman, Hal Jordan, and Doctor Fate (assumming Doctor Fate is High Herald of course)...

Superman/Hal would be roughly equal (pending your opinion of the respective characters) to Thor/Surfer...

And, IMHO, you could make the argument that Strange is roughly equal to Fate...

Dr Strange is above herald.

So is Fate.

@ IT and abhi

Hmmm...maybe you two are right, but according to the tierings here at KMC, Strange is High Herald and Fate is Trans (I personally think they are about equal and should tier the same, but thats just me).

But lets forget that and assume you two are right and both are Trans...

In that case I'd replace Strange with Sersi and Fate with Firestorm; I think with Supes/Hal and Thor/Surfer you have enough brute force...so bringing in a character with great versatility is an excellent boon to both teams.

Sersi has a high degree of unkillablilty (she once protected the Avengers by transmuting everyone into adamantium) and Firestorm has some really good feats of matter/energy manip, so they'd be able to enhance their teams in a very positive way...

2nd thought, give me Waverider over Firestorm...

Bonafide time manipulation is a rare and powerful ability; he could make the DC team very, very, difficult to beat...

Strange is trans on the tier ranking isn't he, IIRC.

D.C. Villainous:

Dark Flash, Cyborg Sups, Despero

Speed/time travel,virtual immortality/technopathology/physical stats, physical stats/psi

You know, he used to be, but when the tierings were modified, people voted that he should be bumped down to High Herald...

I definitely dont agree with that decision, but thats what various posters here on KMC decided...

think that was during the Bendis era, since then he's got more powerful I thought.

Pymtron, isn't he brand new? Also
is SSH going to cooperate and not act stupid? Creative team, but I don't know about their effectiveness as a team.
he came out a while ago, not many feats but he's an amalgam of two long standing characters.

That hype was on the Avengers without issue and both Ultron and Strange can mind control him if need be.

^^^Heh, that explains so much.

My Marvel team is
Hellstrom, Thor, and Shaman (Twoyoungman frm Alpha Flight not Nate Grey).

Why, because they're my three favorite Marvel Heralds

DC
Alan Scot, Dr Fate (inza as the only other fate i like is Kent and hes above Herald), Blue Devil (I know he's classified as mid meta on the tiers but given full powered his trident allows him to stomp GL's and hell lords)
Same reason really

Kent fate is trans but all others arent. The level of herald each is does vary IMHO.

i dont think Strange ever got a retcon but his showings post 75 is certainly below what he showed SA.

For Marvel:
1 Photon (Genis) or Voidtry
2 Shaman X-Man
3 Dr. Strange

X-Man would be able to cure if not treat either Photon or Sentry. Which would in turn either extremely reliable muscle.

For DC:
1 Superman
2 White Lantern (Kyle)
3 Dr. Fate (Hector)

Sinestro Power, Leader Ship, Experience
Black Adam Magic Resistance versatility
Despero versatility

Thor
Dr. Strange
Quasar

Why Quasar? Thats a dark horse pick is why i wonder.
