Gotham Vs MAZAHS

vs

You do know that Gotham solos JL like a piece of cake.
He will just be strong as it is needed to defeat Luthor and THE END.
Gotham is too much OP like Superman Prime.

Mazahs stomps.

a.) I believe he starts at a higher level.
b.) He can simply absorb Gotham's power. His absorption capabilities are quite unbounded.

It's hard to be more powerful than your opponent... When you've been drained of said power.

Not imo.

Mazahs was strong enough to one-shot Ultraman(who was still able to stalemate Black Adam moments prior), and could pulverize Nth Metal with a single strike. He also possessed the abilities of E3 Flash, Deathstorm, Bizarro, etc. etc.

And as we learned in JL: his ability to absorb additional power was seemingly unbounded. Powerful as he is, I don't really see how Gotham stands a chance here. Excluding the esoteric abilities at his disposal, Mazahs is at LEAST strong/fast enough to match Gotham long enough to absorb his power, me thinks. /shrug

Sigh.. when you drop a title and actual interesting stuff seems to star happen.

He absorbs by killing doesn't he.? So he'd have to kill Gotham in order to get his powers.

Luthor's child, who was specifically stated to possess the exact same power of absorption as Luthor himself, was able to literally pull the power out of living beings as well. We saw this when he stole the God-powers back from the heroes, just by the word "MAZAHS!" being uttered.

noooo, in forever evil , Luthor didn't steal powers just by standing and saying MAZAHS. He grabbed them first and then killed them sucking the power. The fight is with Alexander Luthor, so still GOtham wins by knocking him out.

He killed them in the process because he wanted to kill them. And with all the powers he's absorbed, I don't see Gotham knocking him out as he's got powers stacked on powers. Like Firestorm, Bizarro, Mazahs(Shazam), etc... It should put him at a level beyond Gotham's ability to put down.

First off, it was never stated that Luthor *needed* to kill characters to absorb their powers. Yes, he killed those he drained, but I've always attributed that to him being a sadistic SOB. /shrug

Secondly, the child was explicitly stated to possess LUTHOR'S power of absorption:

"Like his father before him, he is able to absorb ALL energy."

That said, I see no reason why his child's abilities wouldn't be applicable to Luthor himself..? The only difference between them is that the baby needed an outside source to activate his absorption power(ergo "MAZAHS!"😉, because it obviously could not speak or act for itself.

The absorption was done through Grail who was the mastermind of all AM-DS war. It doesn't give any support that Luthor can suck it just cuz he wanna. Even if he can suppose, Gotham will lower down his power levels to absorb and when Luthor will attack him, he will just raise it to 100x and SPLAT ! Gotham defeated Justice League as easy as pie. The stacked powers in Mazahs doesn't matter.
Gotham wins. Flawless victory.

Lol what? Nobody so far can stop the drain in any way. And Luthor takes all your powers. So Gotham gets drained plain and simple.

Also Luthor has literally tons of powers that Gotham has no answer to. Like transmutation. Or fire breath on Bizarro's level, etc...

I see absolutely NO reason to assume that Gotham could resist the drain at all. Again: Luthor's ability to absorb energy is nigh-unbounded. If it could be used to absorb the power of the New Gods, it can definitely be used to absorb the power of Gotham. Additionally, we know Gotham's ability to become more powerful than most opponents is certainly a power Luthor would want -- ergo draining is something he'd do right out of the gate. 👆
