Not the exact scan I wanted, but everybody should get the idea of what he's capable of.
And since,,,,,
At this point, you're just boring me and throwing up random shit.
Ok, I tire of this. We have one of the most powerful, versatile characters ever written versus a 2nd tier Superman type character that cant do anything but punch and throw some lightning around. If you can think it up, the Surfer can pretty much do it. Since i'm no longer interested in looking stuff up and being told it wouldnt work because ke's magic, lets let the people decide.
Here's two pages of Surfer feats. If you want to continue, show us something from Billy that would convince us he could beat a character like that. If you dont, thats great too.

He has threatened Glads with radiation, true, but at least Flash has done it.
It's not as open ended as you think, however.
I will talk about the oxygen messing, because kris has brought it up and reminded me what the tactic is.
Whilst it CAN be used in such a manner, Surfer has NEVER thought to do so in such a manner.
To then suddenly think about it and use it against an opponent he has no idea about, and nearly kill him through suffocation.....

He has created oxygen for people to breathe in though.I don't think that's a particularly viable tactic for this fight however, and it's a bit of a moot point since Billy is like the one DC character who doesn't have a retarded weakness.
He has indeed.
But suffocating them? When he has never done so? I mean, this does not sound like the pacifist Surfer - and doesn't even sound like an angry Surfer, considering he has never once thought about it. We still argue in character, after all,
And yeah, moot point.

Oh I'm not saying that he'll deprive CM of oxygen(though it's certainly a possibility), I was just addressing those specifics because they get thrown around a lot.
With regards to THOSE specifics....
When has Surfer scanned someone and actually followed through on his threat? Hence the term 'fanfic Surfer'. He doesn't have that mindset to scan an opponent, find their weakness, and ACTUALLY follow through on it.
CAN he do it? Like you said, he has done so before. WILL he do it? Fanfic Surfer would.
Would Thanos create a car mid battle with the IG? No. Could he? Sure. But if he was fighting a character who, unbeknownst to him was only weak to cars (and nothing else), he isn't suddenly throwing out cars. And he's a villain.

Pacifist?
He's been in over a hundred fights.
He won't seek out violence, but it doesn't really take that much to get him riled up tbh.

To the point he takes the oxygen out from someone? How does he usually fight in those hundred fights? Should be a nice round number to get a percentage, actually. 50% of the time? 1%? 2? The majority of the time, he punches or blasts energy.
Majority.

I don't understand why you're singling out the removal of oxygen as something particularly violent.
It's far less violent than slugging it out.
