Sentry
Can these 3 take on the futuristic Kryptonian God, or is Prime's power just to powerful. Here are stats/brief descriptions on the warriors:

Dr. Strange: Special Powers/Abilities:
Doctor Strange has a good knowledge of various Oriental martial arts and trains regularly with his assistant Wong. Stephen Strange has the physical ability of a man who engages in moderate physical exercise. Dr. Strange's psychic abilities are more extensively trained than normal men and as such may perform feats such as mesmerism, hypnotism, telepathy and psychokinesis. He also possesses considerable medical and surgical knowledge.

Known superhuman powers: Strictly speaking, Doctor Strange and other human sorcerers do not have superhuman powers. Only the ability to manipulate mystical energy lies within an Earth-born sorcerer, not the energy itself. Theoretically, any Earth human can tap into an infinite amount of mystical energy. However, each person is limited by his own amount of training, discipline, knowledge, and enlightenment as to the mystic arts. As Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, Doctor Strange possesses a greater knowledge and mastery of the mystic arts than anyone else on Earth. He was born with a great talent for sorcery, and he has fulfilled that potential through long years of study and training.

Strange's magic, like that of most magicians, is derived from three major sources: personal powers of the mind/soul/body, derived through developing one's own psychic resources (mesmerism, astral projection, thought-casting, etc.), powers gained by tapping the universe's ambient magical energy and employing it for specific effects (teleportation, illusion-casting, energy projection), and finally, powers gained through the tapping of extra-dimensional energy by invoking entities or objects of power existing in mystical dimensions tangential to his own.

The latter means of power is usually gained by the recitation of spells, either ritualized ones found in various mystical texts or by original spells invoking extra-dimensional assistance. Strange also employs a number of occult power objects which he welds by mental control.

To begin with his personal powers. Strange has mastered the art of astral projection, the mental ability to separate the astral self-the sheath of the soul, or life essence-from his physical self, and in this form traverse through space unbounded by physical laws but fully retaining human consciousness. The astral form is invisible, intangible, and incapable of being harmed except by the most rigorous of mystical means. The astral form only possesses those magical powers residing in the sorcerer's mind: thought casting, psychokinesis, etc. Strange is of such mastery that he can remain in astral form for up to 24 hours before there is corporeal deterioration of his physical form. The physical form is quite vulnerable to attack when the astral form is absent. If harm were to befall his physical form while he was in his astral form, he would be stranded in the wraith-like state. While the astral form is absent, the physical form remains in an inert death-like trance.

Although Strange also has the ability to mesmerize people to do his bidding, both in person and at a distance, he seldom employs his mastery over others' wills in so direct a way. Strange can cast his thoughts over short or vast distances in a manner virtually identical with telepathy. The entire Earth is within the reach of Strange's mind, providing he knows where to contact the specific mind he is seeking. Strange can simultaneously communicate with up to a dozen minds at a time.

Strange is also able to tap this universe's store of ambient magical energy and manipulate it for a variety of effects. He is able to form and hurl magical energy bolts with a high degree of potency and control. He is able to erect energy shields o screens with a high degree of imperviousness to both physical and magical damage. He is able to use local magical energy for the conjuration of small physical objects like money or rabbits or for unusual luminescent effects. Strange can also transform one object into another, though the transformation only lasts for as long as he wills it.

Strange is sometimes able to utilize local magical energy to teleport across the face of the Earth or into a mystical dimension (certain higher dimensions beyond height, width, depth, etc. where the physical laws can be based on magic rather than science). Oddly enough, teleportation within a dimension is more taxing than teleportation between dimensions. Such expenditure of energy leaves all sorcerers (including Strange) mystically debilitated for a varying length of time, making teleportation a dangerous and seldom used ability. Physical teleportation across time rather than space is the most power-draining feat of them all.

Doctor Strange has knowledge of a host sorcerous spells and incantations invoking the names and aspects of various extra-dimensional objects and beings of power. Strange is also able to call upon these extra-dimensional power sources for very specific effects without taxing his own personal abilities. Some of these extra-dimensional phenomena include the Flames of the Faltine, the Shades of the Seraphim, and the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth. In Strange's possession is the Greater Book of the Vishanti, an ancient tome containing a wealth of obscure arcane knowledge.

Paraphernalia: A number of artifacts, but the most important are...

The Eye and Amulet of Agamotto

The Crystal Orb of Agamotto

The Book of The Vishanti

The Cloak of Levitation


Phoenix(Rachel Summers):

Known superhuman powers: Phoenix II has the ability to exist in any environment without harm, project force bolts of incalculable power and create force fields. She also possesses the power of telepathy, illusion-casting; her link with the Phoenix force gives her vast psionic ability to manipulate time, space, matter, and energy for virtually any purpose.

Source of superhuman powers: (innate telepathic abilities) genetic mutation, (other psionic powers). Rachel Summers is a host for the Phoenix Force, a manifestation of a primal force of the universe which embodies the concepts of life and passion, especially the passion to create and destroy, and derives its power from the psyches of all living beings in the universe.

Sentry: As Reynolds drank from the bottle, he felt an energy course through him like that of a million exploding suns. The splintered images of his prior existence began to coalesce. He remembered himself as a hero -- the Sentry, Golden Guardian of Good -- fighting alongside the Avengers, Spider-Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men. Before his fall from grace, Reynolds had conquered time and space itself. He was omnipotent; he was immortal. He was the Sentry.

Known superhuman powers: While the full extent of the Sentry's solar-based abilities is unknown, he has demonstrated super-strength, invulnerability, super-speed, the power of flight and the capacity to control light. The Sentry's abilities derive from an experimental serum that creates a phase-shift in his molecules, causing each atom to step an instant ahead of the current timeline. The serum induces a photosynthetic reaction, resulting in a hyperstate of consciousness. In effect, the Sentry's powers are limitless.

VS.

SUPERMAN PRIME

Kal-El at his height as Superman in the twentieth and twenty first centuries was one of the most powerful of the founding superheroes. Like all Kryptonians exposed to a yellow sun his cells became living solar batteries absorbing solar energy and literally supercharging every natural physical ability he possessed. He possessed vast super strength, was nigh invulnerable to anything short of a nuclear blast and possessed the ability to fly by shear effort of will. This Kryptonian powers also granted him numerous sensory abilities including perception of the vast majority of the EM spectrum, telescopic vision and super hearing. At will he could also expel stored solar energy out of his eyes as a form of "heat ray". His only vulnerabilities were the radioactive mineral Kryptonite and a susceptibility to magical influence.

It is not recorded what happened to Superman Prime during his long exile from Earth, but it is believed that he learned much about himself and his powers. While the powers of the Superman Dynasty evolved over the years Superman Prime did not gain the extra mental powers or sensory abilities obtained by the union with the Fifth Dimension. Upon his return it became evident that he had certainly changed becoming almost god like in terms of power. There is evidence for this in his resurrection of Lois Lane (with help from Lzyxm Ltpkz) and his covenant with the Superman Dynasty. The Superman Prime that appeared out of the sun in the year 85,271 is certainly the post powerful member of the Superman Dynasty ever seen and it is quite conceivable that he is now a New God despite his returned humanity. It should be also noted that Superman Prime is currently in possession of the last of the Green Lantern power rings.

Powerful magic, Incalculable telepathy/psionic powers, and limitless strength and energy. Will these 3 be able to defeat Prime? or does Prime succumb to their overwhelming powers? Let's hit the polls. Before you vote please read at least their stats/descriptions if you don't know anything about the characters. Why 3 against one? Cause Prime is Uber a$$ powerful. Marvel fanboys underestimate him a lot. But against these odds, Superman Prime will go down.

all that typing and no one responded.
im here for ya! i say maybe!

I'll say that they can beat him. With such limitless power all around it will probably come down to creativity and ingenuity. I would say that it is possible that the 3 can come up with a creative way to defeat Superman Prime. Superman was not really a character whose M.O. was defeating people based on savvy and guile. Dr. Strange seems to have more cleverness at least. I am less familiar with the other characters. I also think the diversity of power types helps the three. It was always confusing to me how supercharged cells from the yellow sun put Superman on such a high level of power.

long pig
sentry can simply absorb all the solar energy out of superman...end of story

hoorayforpeepee
except for doctor strange (arguable), sentry or phoenix could take out superman solo.

kgkg
these three all something is advantage

doctor strange - magic (superman is weak to it)
sentry , Phoenix - Very powerful and they can suck his energy.

Go they can take him for sure i whould think sentry , and phoenix can take superman prime with lots of stuggle alone .

But Strange even tho he was magic superman's super will be too much for the old man

Cosmic Cube
Individually or together, all three of them could take down Superman Prime. Dr. Strange is the most powerful sorcerer in the universe, and he can fly at warpspeeds and teleport with his cloak. He's also a very powerful telepath (using the eye of agamotto)

In a one on one fight with any of them, Superman Prime loses.

spetznaz
Superman Prime losing to Dr Strange? You've got to be kidding me!
Oh, almost forgot I was talking to Cosmic Cube.
After all, if you actually believed Wolverine could lift 25 tons you must also think someone like Dr. Strange could defeat Superman Prime.
I will not even bother!
By the way, saying Wolverine could lift 25 tons, as silly as that was, was actually more viable (by far) than saying Dr Strange could defeat Superman Prime.
(And before you say Superman is vulnerable to magic you should remember we are talking about Prime here. He is beyond magic. Actually in the future the Superman Dynasty is part magic due to their intermarriage with the 5th Dimension).
