Mera Vs Storm

Started by StyleTime6 pages

Mera is a mid herald? What did she do?

Storm hasn't done much with Stormcaster, but it's not like she started racking up low showings or something. She just hasn't been displayed much in either direction, high or low. She's got plenty of stuff to draw from though. We're still talking about goddamn Storm here.

Same with Rachel's upgrade. Disappointing, but not low. She's basically done a bunch of shit she was already capable of doing.

Nothing to warrant that. Sin is talking up, as usual.

She's Aquaman-ish physically, with advanced hydrokinesis.

She fought Wonder Woman h2h evenly in Blackest Night, and also as a Red Lantern vs Violet Lantern.

As far as powers-combat, her highest showing is this:

She can make water-shields to tank baby nukes:

She's not getting into a power feat-war with Storm anytime soon, but if she leaps hard enough she could probably one-shot her [https://imgur.com/wBjRW1r], and if she thinks fast enough, she could manipulate Storm's internals for the win. The same goes in return, minus the physicals.

As Zop said, it's probably a quick draw. She dehydrated Flash instantly as he was running towards her, for what it's worth, in the JL scans. There's also this:

So Mera is a low herald? High meta? Where exactly would you place her since im talking up

I'd place her at mid to high meta. I mean would you really place her on par with Firelord who is a mid Herald? Getting past that, there are times that tiers don't matter much. In this case Storm may actually be a mid herald with that hammer, but she lacks any hard feats to prove it at this point. On her own without the hammer I'd place her at about Mera's level. with it she may be more than Mera can handle, especially since nothing stops her from striking from the air.

Bro, Mera's made constructs that can contain mini nukes and hold Superman and Wonder Woman for a few minutes. Storm going physical is like asking for death. Mera's hydrokinesis is ranged, so Storm taking to the air won't save her.

Fix your links! 😛

I think that there's a very secure argument to be made that ever since Johns got a hold of her with Blackest Night, Mera has been in the low herald tier at the very least. Mid herald and high meta are both arguments you can make, sure, but I'd personally put her in LH.

Storm's asgardian powers just aren't well-defined enough for me in terms of what they're capable of.

I'm well aware of how powerful Mera is, but Storm has been bumped up a couple pegs due to that hammer. Without the hammer she has done some pretty crazy things herself. Lightning ha power over water as you know. In character neither of the two are going to kill each each other, although being fully capable of it. I don't think it would be an easy fight for either.

This is a good fight! Storm had too many options. From lightning to artic blasts. She's basically a god

If this is w/o weapons than its the same argument as here.

Its not a safe assumption that Mera can use internal hydrokinesis against Storm.

Shrugs. She used it on Flash. Isn't he protected by electricity type of energy, speed force? I think it'll work for the most part.

Given some of the people in high-meta right now [Aquaman, Iron Man, Mandarin, Mimic,Psylocke, Sinister], there's a good argument she should be there, since they're at her level, or higher. You might find a few at the lower-end of the low-herald who can approximate her power-level, so she's somewhere between high-meta and low herald [the same as those I mentioned above].

Tried to, but didn't work, and I was too lazy to upload the scans myself.

That list is outdated...but i see your argument

👆

I was thinking of 'reviving' the discussion, but given the fact that there'd have to be a mod willing to constantly edit it, and the number of trolls...eh.

I dont see why not. It's worth a try. Iron Man imo for example is in the herald tier....maybe pr is up for it

Storm has hydrokinesis in addition to bio-electricity. This whole discussion has already taken place in the other thread with the link already posted above.

Some here are assuming that Mera can control the water in Storm's body. I remember that Mera could not do that to Black Manta b/c of his bioelectric suit. Needlessly to say that Storm's body generates plenty of bio-electricity.

Has your position change on this Sin?

Everyone has bio-electricity inside of them. Everyone. That doesn't stop Mera affecting them. Storm's ability to resist is based on her own powers, not a simple fact of biology. She'll have to actively stop Mera if she can.

You don't understand the scan you're using.

As Pr said, everybody has bio-electricity. That doesn't make you immune to her powers.

What Black Manta had was a suit with a bioelectric seal.

Seal, being the key word.

https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/seal_1

"seal or seal up to close a container or space by covering it with something so that air or other substances cannot get in or out"

but everyone certainly cannot control their bio-electricity nor generate the amount that Storm has and combine that with her own hydrokinesis. it seems a reach to me that Mera would be able to overcome storm own bio-electricity plus her hydrokineses before storm would shut off her brain's impulses.

This entire thing comes down to quick draw, and Storm attacks with lightning. Who hits whom first is the question. Also does Storm have the ability to suck the oxygen out of a persons lungs?

But Mera has the very same powers (with the Trident), along with weather control, and electrokinesis.
