I was thinking (and again, discussions welcome) of you guys all get one post, and I potentially get one post for each opponent (so three for three opponents etc).
Thread gets opened, with all the OPs posted. They are all SEPARATE matches, so no team ups, and no getting in each other's way.
so i'm the only one gonna do this, aren't i? lol i get not wanting to use thor and hulk, tbh. the speed issue is essentially insurmountable. still, if no one steps up, i suppose i could write an OP for each of them as well. be nice if someone else stepped up though. c'mon kmc, don't let saint bully you like this!
incidentally, is it JUST marvel heralds, or any heralds? since everyone is so sure supes is trans (or higher--much higher according to some....) any herald should do. and if you'd like, it would be awesome if you went into one of the matches blind! lol not surfer, i already said i'd do that. nor hulk or thor. but if supes really is so far above other heralds, it shouldn't really matter who he steps in there with. after you beat ss, (and if i have to hulk and thor as well....) maybe do a single post blind match against a random herald of my choice? that might be fun.
btw, i know you chose single post format because i have never won a single post match in my life--at least not on my own. lol smurph, where are you when i need you....?

So my idea would be we all agree a 'pool' of characters to test against Superman. These would be his usual rivals - Thor, Surfer, Hulk, Hyperion, Hal, WW, Shazam, Black Adam, etcProbably would be Marvel heavy, because it's a general consensus Superman is top dog in DC, but we can see. The usual suspects are the trinity of Thor, Hulk and Surfer anyway, so we can just do those three.
Then, we can have different 'teams'. Team Hulk, for example, would argue their corner, Team Thor etc, against Team Superman.
Basically, it would be similar to the Trans level tourney, except we have a limited pool of characters to choose from, and we would have teams behind each character.
Is Superman truly above the heralds? And I say use a limited pool, because there will always be some team who think it's clever to use Longshot, for example, and try a no limits argument. Or Constantine with prep, and start firing time travel spells etc. In short, no weird hax powers - the aim of the BZ would be for everyone to show how hey, Superman is not unique - EVERY herald worth their salt also has high end showings.
We would be limited by the in character rule - so for example, I can't say Superman flies over, tears Hulk's head off and cauterises the neck wound with HV, before flinging the body into the Sun. But full capacity still applies, so Superman can still use his speed.
It is to showcase we do, in fact, understand not only the powers of our character, but also...well, their character.
So does Monica shooting energy into Supermans brain count as either hax, or out of character?

Well the point of the BZs against his 'rivals' was to stop the usual threads that appear every few weeks/months...you know the ones, where Superman has to fight Hulk AGAIN, or in a JL/Avengers match, he has to fight Thor AGAIN etc. Then it devolves into toxicity from both sides. Whereas now, we limit it to this thread, then draw a line under them. Then Supes can be used again, against new and interesting match ups.
That's why I'm loathe to include other heralds or characters. Who were you thinking of? If it's someone he's always put up against in the forum, we can consider it?
No blind BZ. Forum rules state we at least have basic knowledge of each other, in generic matches.

ah, ok. i thought this was more about showing superman was trans or higher, but it's more along the lines of superman>>marvel heralds. no worries, we can stick to the big 3 and hope someone else steps up i guess.
Well, if this is about Superman fighting with his peers then it would make sense for him to face both Thor and Hulk with speed equalized. If that's the statement of the BZ then more people might bite into it.
Most of us agreed that Superman won the battle through speed way before the high showings even started

We can add WW, Shazam, Black Adam et Al if you want the pool. It's Superman vs his traditional forum peers, not 'find a guy below HH who can beat him'.
