Captain America vs. Silver Surfer (with a twist)

Started by StiltmanFTW20 pages

Dodging and blocking lasers in zero gravity?

Boardless Surfer can't hope to match him.

Your scan says he's timing the firing period. He's also completely aware of the movement of the nozzles. Though the scan involves laser beams, Cap is outmaneuvering the system more than anything. It's good, but not great.

Even if you decide to nitpick the shit out of it (which is fine), it's still better than any feat Surfer has, I'm afraid.

U sure about that?

After wasting a decade and a half on this site and seeing everything eunuch fanboys had to offer?

Yes.

Reflex and speed.

Wonder man and Storm couldn’t even put him down in that weakened state, how’s In the world is Cap going to do it against a full powered version.

So let’s see we have Surfer reacting and attacking a near instantaneous teleportation coupled with a durability withstanding a barrage of attack from a blood lusted Wonderman and storm at a weakened state, this feats should be sufficient enough evidence to suggest that this is spite. Anyone who thinks otherwise Is not al right in the mind.

It takes less than 30mph speed to aim dodge.

I already explained to you that Surfer has feats of moving, perceiving, and reacting with limbs within the span of nanoseconds with and without his board.

Not that it will stop you but Midnight Son and Ganeymede who are barely superhuman in speed have blitzed Surfer just fine.

I wholeheartedly laughed when I saw Surfer fans posting showings that, incidentally, prove that Cap is faster both in reaction and movement than him.

The infinity gauntlet scene, for example.

You can see Captain America not only react to Surfer as he's trying to grab Thanos' IG -- but also completely changing his stance to prepare and attack as Surfer fails and Thanos turns towards him. Surfer completely misses and couldn't adjust to grab it, meanwhile Cap perceives it, reacts, is able to adjust his entire body to the situation -- and he didn't even have any idea Surfer was coming before he saw him.

They should have given Cap the board and the Infinity Gauntlet story would have been done within 4 issues.

Good job 👆

lol, you don't even need to go that high.

Black Panther jumped on his board and put him in an armlock before he could react:

And I haven't even begun with the shitload of other showings.

Cap would tango-dance around him for an entire hour -- even if he cannot actually KO him [given the people Cap has hurt with his shield, that is debatable, but irrelevant afterall considering the purpose is to get through the clock]

This is not instant teleportation. The teleportation destination is visible in the infrared spectrum before he materializes. It's not dissimilar to Magneto, for example, being able to know where Nightcrawler teleports before he does so:

1. Surfer controls his board mentally. That's basic comic knowledge.
2. Surfer has feats of perceiving events and moving arms within a span of a few nanoseconds WITH and WITHOUT HIS BOARD.
The board is sentient -- like a separate character that is connected to Surfer. He can give it commands and then do something else while it obeys.

That is basic comic knowledge

Surfer was over a lightyear away and had to fly ftl. While flying ftl, he had the wherewithal to swipe at the ig. No human is going to be able to do that. U need to have superhuman reaction. Cap wasn't reacting to Surfer.

He's done this more than once. Another good superhuman reaction was locating and grabbing Nova(herald) while flying at speeds that outraced an electronic signal.

Still havent really seen anything from Cap that makes things more interesting.

In zero gravity, when attacks are coming from all directions? Good luck.

He doesn't have such feats.

h1 about to show us Surfer dancing around Spiderman.

Oh...wait.

The crucial part of that feat was Cap timing the firing rate and the movement of the laser nozzles.

Yup. If you move 30mph then you can successfully aim dodge all kinds of attacks. Just move out of the way before the fire. Note: You see in most of those scans Cap isn't moving at all. Either He already moved before the fire or those computers are terrible at targeting.

Here's the nail in the coffin.
This is a famous fiction trope where human characters evade multiple machine gun fire by simply running less than 20mph.

Aim dodging. The nozzles were telegraphing. But Cap was moving no faster than his top running speed.

Actually, he doesn't need to time anything. Just stay in motion (don't be in the same spot for too long).

Surfer can move his arms within the span of nanoseconds (as shown). He can't dance around someone within the span of nanoseconds.

Oh, h1. But that's exactly what happens. Spiderman has a very blatant h2h speed advantage against Surfer.

And no matter how much you might lowball Cap, he's never looked this slow against Pete.

More:

Surfer: "Even your dexterity is no match for my cosmic board [hmmm ... board you say? 🙂]"
Spidey: "I wouldn't be so sure about that!"

As it has been explained to you numerous times already -- Surfer's speed is based on the thought controlled, sentient board. In the last scan, you can tastily enjoy Spiderman blitzing him through a cosmic blast -- all the while in previous scans dodging his blasts, outmanuvering him and ending up below his board, webbing him off it, tripping him off it and more. Spiderman of courses loses seeing as how he's exhausted and can barely stand by the end -- but take away the board and power cosmic and, well, you've got this thread.

We can sit here all day showing extremely fast characters getting tagged or even sometimes embarrassed by logically much slower opponents... Lord knows theres a bazillion of them.
Or, we can talk about actual feats that really matter so we can objectively observe them.

You're right, Surfer was hallucinating and said he moves in a nanosecond. Daredevil also said he moves in a nanosecond in similar situation. Ergo Daredevil is as fast as Surfer.

Let's sum it up.

Without his board, Surfer doesn't know how to fight well. Or how to move well in general.

Whereas Cap has problem tagging Cosmic Carnage w/ his board, lol.
