Well, you seem to consider yourself in a very bright light, might as well start using it.
Hey you're the one who asked if I wanted you to post them, why are you trying to shift the onus to me?
You are the one who claimed that Surefr uses versatility in a very large amount of his appearances. Are you denying that now?
No his primary power is manipulating the speedforce, super speed is just the most frequent use of that power.
Haha, what? For four decades he wasn't even powered by speed force, it was retconned as source of his power in 1994.
So no, it isn't the primary power. Not by any means.
By the same token, Dr. Strange's and Dr. Fate's primary power isn't something like shooting energy blasts, it's casting spells/using magic.
Nobody claimed that. You are simply using red herrings now.
Also, absorbing sunlight... not a super power.
crylaugh
That's simply hilarious. Not even going to bother replying to it.
Regular human's absorb solar energy all the time, it's how we get sun tans. Basically everything but mirrored surfaces absorbs solar energy. I think what you meant to say was "metabolizing solar energy". And if I was taking that route I would have said Surfer's power was absorbing cosmic energy. But I didn't say that, I said his primary power channeling the Power Cosmic, because lot's of other characters absorb cosmic energy as well but not all those characters manipulate the Power Cosmic.
Its the same. Superman metabolizes solar power into various effects as well.
I'm not going to say this is his primary power. But I'm going to see how far you are going to stretch this before you concede.
Green Lantern doesn't have a "power" he wields an object, different thing.Hulk does have superhuman size, but it's not really the greatest of his abilities so I personally wouldn't call it his primary power.
You are using "surfer" as a mean to say he is not a blaster but flyer? Why not use it in Green Lantern and Hulk's cases?
I mean the difference in size between him and human is significant, but the difference in strength is unreal.
The point went over your head I see.
In regards to Surfer though, being able to travel through space is the MOST important aspect of his powers, it's the whole reason Galactus created him. Take away his energy blast and he could still be a herald for Galactus, take away his ability to traverse space and he'd be useless for Galactus.
So you are saying his primary power is flying? After all, take away his power cosmic manipulation and he will still be useful to Galactus.
You're not giving your boy enough credit. Supes's main power isn't just super strength it's being super human across the board. Yes he's superstong but he's also super durable, super fast, and has superhuman senses, all to the Nth degree.
Yes, he is main power is Superstrength. Its the very basis of the power's name.
And versatile is a relative term comparing two or more people/things. You're not versatile based on what you CAN do, you're versatile based on what others CAN'T do.
Totally wrong. Its their lack of versatility not your versatility.
The really silly thing is that we've spent this much time on a tangent. I mean I already said that blasting was Surfer's main manifestation and my comment about it qualifying as versatility was limited to bricks. We're talking about an extreme minority of showings here lol.
Against bricks its their lack of versatility. How can you argue about comics for a decade and know so little about the terminologies?
Just as soon as you give me your number. No offense but you have a horrible reputation for doing things like "moving the goal posts"
Like I said, you made the first claim and questioned me. You should be the one to post the feats of versatility.
Onus is on you. Don't run away now.
You're the one who established the number of appearances/fights being relevant when you mentioned Surfer using his versatility in less than 5 percent. If a percentage is important for Surfer than it's important for Supes.
How does that equates to Superman needing five times more than surfer's feats of versatility to match them?
He needs to be judged on his own appearances and not some other character's.
No YOU'RE changing the topic. Celey asked specifically about SPEEDBLITZING, and you said you could produce more scans of it than celey could produce for Surfer using versatility
Are you championing Celey now? I clearly informed him about how I disagree with Superman using speedblitzes that much in his fights.

[B]I disagree with that. That's my opinion though.Superman doesn't goes in speedblitz mode from the start of a fight.
With his strength, he would kill anyone at Herald level with such a tactic.
More than you can.
Superman uses his speed in some way in almost all his fights. It's not just "flurry of punches" which is a speedblitz if you are thinking so.
Speed is an intrinsic part of how Superman fights.
Again, the topic has always been about Supes speedblitzing...
I always said about general use of speed. Your lack of comprehension is evident.
Surfer uses his energy blast in virtually all his fights. I can't think of a single fight off the top of my head where he didn't throw a single energy blasts. Supes obviously has more fights to his credit so if they both used speed/blasts 99% of the time of course he has more, but it wouldn't mean he had a higher percentage lol. Are you really so threatened by Surfer that you can't even admit that lol.
Really? Just read his fight with Thing recently. Or with Skaar.
I can cite plenty of examples where he fought like a brute.
And no that's not the stipulation, this discussion has been about speedblitzing before I even threw in my two cents. If you've decided that you don't want to back up what you said before, no worries. I'm gracious enough to let you back out without giving you flak about it.
Why would I back out from something which I haven't even claimed anything about? If you're chicken about surfer's versatility "in a large number of appearances", you can bow out anytime you want.
Its not like you'll even be here after that to give you a flak.
No my exact words were...*random gibberish*
*even more gibberish*
Now abhi... he's going to try to pull off a little magic act. He's gonna try a little misdirection... he's gonna throw in some double standards... add a dash of lowballing... and hope to amaze you with 1,000+ plus scans that come strait from the largest respect thread on the internet(fitting for the most popular character in the history of fiction) while ommiting all context... but in the end when you wipe the sleep out of your eyes and thank God that he's finally finished, nothing he will have said will be able to change the fact that all Supes can throw is rock, and the only reason for Surfer to throw scissors is because abhi desperately wants him too."
2nd paragraph is me saying "listen to my argument", 3rd paragraph is me saying "ignore his argument" [/B]
Your entire third paragraph is asking judges to ignore my scans and arguments because you are too good and I'm skewing the context.
Its like asking a child to realize his mistake.
"See, I did this right way. You must believe me."
You are so full of yourself, its almost pitiful. Like I said at that day too, you are nothing. You just want others to play by your rules while you discard anyone else's arguments
This just proves it again.
