Also, SS can't do anything while he's intangible since there is no evidence that he can. WBH thunderclaps and SS is dead.
Surfer has NEVER went intangible in mid-battle. I only heard of him going intangible ONCE in his career (it wasn't in mid battle). Either he can't or he doesn't ever think of doing so. Either way, it's not a valid tactic on the forums (unless the OP says CIS off).
Finally, we have no evidence that Surfer can do anything while in his intangible form. Can he blast? Can he manipulate matter? Can he absorb? We have no idea.

Wait so even though Surfer knows Hulk is at WBH mode, he will try to "get close and personal and blast first"?
Not all the time, but most of the time. SS has done this many times against very powerful beings before (Thanos, Odin, etc.). He doesn't know exactly how powerful WBH is. Otherwise, he would know how powerful Thanos, Odin, etc. are too.
So it's a probability thing.

First off it doesn't even make sense. It's not like he has to sit and meditate himself into a trance before going intangible.
Second, if the excuse for why he won't win is going to be that the guy is a stupid fighter in comics then the "well he doesn't use this mid battle in comics" isn't even an argument that can be used since if he's STUPID then why the f*ck would he use it?

Because he would have to activate that power almost instantly for it to work. How long does it take Surfer to become intangible?
Even if he could activate it in midbattle then he still wouldn't. Because he doesn't think like that (never has he thought about becoming intangible mid battle).
Surfer would use speed, reflexes, and other powers that are always on. But exotic powers (he must think about) becomes an issue when he hasn't shown the ability to think like people want him to. If Surfer has any feats of becoming intangible mid battle to avoid attacks then it is fair game. Otherwise, he will never think of such a tactic.

Magneto forgets he has his own telepathic powers on top of his magnetic ones.
Xavier forgets he has TK. So does Psylocke.
Warpath forgets he can fly 😂
That means they won't use those powers here, on KMC. Same with Surfing Eunuch and his phasing, which he rarely ever uses. He's no Vision.
What happened to the full capacity rule?
Full Capacity
It is assumed that each contestant will fight to his/her best ability, but still within the character's personality, unless specified otherwise. That means they will use any powers at their disposal. For example, even though The Flash doesn't clock each of his own opponents in the first millisecond in his own comic, it is assumed that is a viable tactic on this board since it is a proven fact that he possesses that level of speed.
It is also assumed that the characters fight at their optimum levels of ability - not explicitly weakened or unusually powered up for those who have variable power levels.

He can't use intangibility because he will never think of it in a battle situation (he never has). Thor has actually done those things. Surfer doesn't even have a one time feat.
Even if he could then it has to be proven how fast can he activate it.

👆 clear as day, Surfer was defeated, cowed, broken by that very last panel.
I can see why Abhi didn't post it. It was such a humiliation for Surfer, to do so would get him banned for intense Surfer hate.
