Anyway, isn't this the same book where Thor/Cho/Herc/Vision were all unable to stop a measly meteor?

I'm with Sin here. Battles alone are not a good gauge.

Watched Superman 2 Richard Donner's Cut the other night.

I miss the old Lois Lane dynamic. The big reveal, the wedding, and now kids, I dunno... It feels like Superman has jumped the shark now.

Just kill him off for real.

*sigh*

You're not understanding my point.

It depends on the number of showings they have, total.

Billy has quite a few showings. So his feats need to be taken into account, more than his fights.

Gladiator does not (relative to Billy). So his fights count for much more than his feats. He is the same like Orion, who has even fewer showings still.

Hulk has TONS of showings. So his fights and feats are all equal(ish) in weighting.

IOW: if a character has very few appearances (LT, In-Betweener, Orion, Galactus) then their fights are a better gauge of their power.

The more showings a character has, and the more they start interacting with other characters, the more their fights get diluted. Lobo is a good example, as are the Lanterns. You yourself acknowledge, in team books Lobo is less impressive. Lanterns are terrible against bricks. That's when their feats become more of a gauge, where writers don't have to dilute them. Batman and Cap are also good examples of this.

Five years on, and still counting.

That wasn't quite the same thing, at all.

My point back then was that in team books, SOME characters are written to be way more powerful than they are in their solo titles.

I can easily name one - Batman. In his solo titles, he struggles in h2h with Joker, Two-Face, Bane etc. In his team books, he stands up to herald level attacks and tanks them.

I will name another, since you hate me using Batman. Daredevil in his solo titles struggles with human level attacks - then in team books, faces the Hulk. Fights Ultron.

Do you agree?

So if SOME characters, through scaling, are shown to be way more powerful in teams thanks to writers - then it follows that SOME characters have to be shown to be weaker than in their solo books.

[b]I am not sure, though, what this has to do with the topic in this thread. Apples to Oranges. [/B]

Those are weak sunlamps because Cap and BP was standing right next to them...

You're not getting the point.

Those are weak sun lamps. BP and Cap are standing right next to them, no sunglasses or anything, casually chatting.

Tony knows UV light is effective against the Hulk.

Knows normal weaponry isn't.

And shows up in a prepped Hulkbuster.....with normal weaponry.

How is that not silly?

Was the heat vision Superman used against Doomsday weak that slung him since Lois was standing right next to them talking to Superman, Dark?

So PIS, gotcha 👆

Doesn't have to be nuke level. Just needs to be something that can hurt him. We saw BP didn't exactly need nuke level energy to hurt Hulk.....

Put it this way. It's like showing up to a fight with a guy who's immune to oranges, but weak to apples.

So you build a new suit that only throws oranges, AND a giant catapult that only fires city sized apples.

Why not have some orange based weaponry on your suit? You had all that time to build that giant ass apple catapult, after all.....

I even said it was PIS. Are you ok?

he's never ok, to be ok he needs to stop being carver

I'm still waiting for Carver's comeback of this

Also, keep in mind. Superman still hasn't reached his upper limits during this

Also, Superman's powers are supercharged and their limits haven't yet to be reached per Action Comics 1051's solidification

How do you know?

Because....this is issue 1049 and the solidification of 1051 states Superman hasn't reached his upper limits yet even in that issue?

Show me, please.

Also, this is a good showing for Supes, beating Kalibak (he didn't defeat Orion though), especially considering Kalibak beating him in their last fight. He needs better fts than this for me to be impressed since Kalibak isn't that impressive.

Kalibak is impressive because he beat Superman in the past, but simoultaneously Kalibak isn't impressive......

Reminds of me of this

Nothing but high showings here (you can use average showings as well).

Who wins?

I said it's impressive Superman defeated Kalibak when in their last fight, Kalibak defeated Supes, BUT, overall, Kalibak himself, beating him isn't a high showing.

So Kalibak beating Superman is PIS, since he isn't impressive per what you said?

It depends. What fts does Kalibak have that makes you think beating him is a high showing?

Lol. I assume he's just going to ignore it.

Lol, no, I'm asking you why you think Kalibak beating Superman isn't PIS, or Kalibak isn't that impressive

Either Kalibak is that impressive enough to make him beating Superman be a legit feat, hence, a guy who could beat Superman in the past, and Superman now defeats him with utmost ease, shows Superman has a really good feat today

Or, Kalibak isn't that impressive, hence, him beating Superman in the past is PIS. Thus, can't be brought in a discussion

When did Kalibak beat Superman lol?
