Which of the following characters can lay waste to the entire world in the shortest amount of time?

Hulk

Superman

Storm

Magneto

Green Lantern (Kyle)

Thor

Probably Kyle. Unless you'd let Superman or Thor just destroy the planet.

Magneto could just unleash every Nuke for a cheasy quick destruction as well

I'd say Kyle, even with what Sym said ermm

If you bar one shotting the planet it goes...
1. Superman
2. GL
3. Thor
4. Mags
5. Strom
6. Hulk

when has Superman or Thor destroyed anything resembling the size of earth? (anyone have scans?)

For destroying the surface of the planet it should be Storm but probably wouldn't be.

Why is Thor above Storm and Magneto? Aren't his attacks mostly limited area?

whereas Magneto with the Nuke scenario could feasibly destroy earth's surface a couple of time over very quickly

Thor can create massive storms IIRC.

whereas Magneto with the Nuke scenario could feasibly destroy earth's surface a couple of time over very quickly Well considering in his most recent appearance he created a storm that covered the entire planet in a few panels.

I'd say he has some very good range.

Kyle

Clark so low? He's widened his heat vision blasts to bathe entire planets before, and with his speed, he'd easily blacken the entire Earth before Thor could say "Mjolnir," or Storm even took to the sky.

Magneto could reverse the magnetic poles, could destroy the earth by just removing the atmosphere and the van allen belt.

Hulk could break the world into pieces in quick time, but he'd need to get worked up. at base it'd take him a while.


Storm/Superman/Thor/GL would take longer than Magneto imo.

Reversing the magnetic polarity of Earth wouldn't really do all that much. In fact, the magnetic poles of Earth have switched many times in the past, and we're actually overdue for the next one.

Haha....

And you can reverse the effects of ANY piece of electronics by 'reversing the polarity.'

Well in the real world the reversing of the poles would be likely be pretty devastating. The magnetic field would weaken as the transition happened and the entire planet would be flooded with radiation.

No one was around those other times. I don't think we can say for certain what would happen to us if the poles reversed.

Why does everyone think Storm can conjure better storms than Thor? He's the God of Thunder, and has given Ego troubles with his storms.

And WTF will that do? You are aware that happens naturally correct?

There was a similar thread like this a while ago. The one strategy I made up for Magneto (repeatedly smashing the planet with a mass of collected metal) was pointed out as being planetary teabagging.

One time Thor created natural disasters in every corner of the globe instantly.

You're supposed to destroy the world without breaking it.

How long would it take Swamp thing to do it? I know it's abit off topic, but I was actually wondering how fast he could pull it off.

Certainly.

But I dunno if he's faster than Superman....

I mean, close, definitely, but it's really hard to say.

No it's not, he's easily faster than Supes.

Also, Thor still has the odinforce

IMO Thor is better. He has cause storms that effected the world as a whole.

The poles change every 200,000 years and as far as we know, there was no extinction of live or a great deal of destruction because of it.

it would destroy the all the cities and life on the surface, imo. since the Sun's rays would penetrate the earth more powerfully.

also, all electronics could be immediately destroyed by Magneto, globally. The Earth could be shunted towards the sun too.. again it's just a great big magnetic ball for Magneto to move.


Magneto isn't the most powerful character of the lot, but his powers are the most devastating in the least amount of time, over the entire planet.

Most devastating in the least amount of time?

The Lantern could decimate the surface with but a thought. Superman can widen his heat vision beam to engulf the entire planet and zip around orbit at relativistic speeds.

Thor could create a planet-wide storm of unimaginable power to ravage Earth.

Magneto may be able to devastate the planet, but not nearly as quickly as the above mentioned. Even removing the magnetosphere entirely, the Earth would not be instantaneously harmed, and the 'far side' of Earth would have to wait till it rotated in to be in direct path of the sun, meaning this path would take at least a full day.

The Lantern's method would be instantaneous. Superman's would be nearly so. Thor's would take minutes, at most. Magneto's would take a day. .

It would be neat to see ST transform the entire Earth into a overgrown jungle, like he did to Gotham though.

Longer than it'd take Danny Rand.

Hmm... possibly Magneto. Although, a strong case could be made for Superman, too.

First of all I don't think any storm could destroy the world.
What is the definition of destroy the world anyway? Give me a precise an non-ambiguous definition. Second, how do you guys know the Magneto is strong enough to effect the entire world's magnetic field? Proof please. Finally, I have some thoughts but await the definition (with stipulations) of destroying the world.

The original poster said the he meant wiping the face of the Earth bare, but without actually destroying the planet itself.

That superman heat vision feat didn't do anything but warm the planet up, AND he was in a close proximity of the SUN when he did it. (ME THINKS)

But all he wanted to do was warm the planet, he wasn't trying to destroy it, only warm it back up.

No, i wasn't saying anything about presumed powers, i simply said his INTENTION was to warm the planet, and there was no indication that he was struggling with that either.

In that case then I don't think anyone on the list can do it in their lifetime
(maybe Thor since he lives a long time). This is because I don't see storms disintegrating all matter on the surface of the Earth anytime soon. I mean you can f*ck an army tank up pretty bad with lightning but
disintegrate it where nothing is left seems pretty far fetched to me.

Superman has innate control over his heat vision.

He can use a blast of it warm a meal, to shave, to perform brain surgery, or blast someone with the heat of the core of stars.

Noone in this forum besides magneto, kyle, or storm have shown anything close to planetary destruction in comics. Thor irritated ego but thats about it and ego isnt the size of the earth.

If we are going by comics then basically there is 3 on the list that have the power to destroy a planet. If we go by guessing then all of them have the ability to do so. If there is no proof of any of these character doing a planet destroying feat, especially with strength, then I dont think that it should be used. I can post a feat of gladiator destroying a planet with strength would you all be able to post a scan of any of these people copying the same feat. I can post a feat of storm causing world mass destruction, I dont think that you could find one of anyone else short of magneto. Just my thought.

Ego, by most accounts I've seen, is barely larger the size of a pyramid. It's almost ludicrous to call him a planet.

Did you see him when he transformed the Earth? He was at least the size of the moon.

http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/20000/19936/182167-ego_400.jpg

here, he is barely the size of a house.

He tends to look big when not next to anything. But when there are people fighting near him, his size is not nearly as impressive as it appears.

Nice lie, that's the COVER. We all know how accurate THOSE are. Especially since in that very same comic, egos CELLS were larger then Thor.

Check it out, Ego dwarfs the moon.

Silly, you would dwarf the moon too if someone was looking at you from a much closer view than the moon is. For example, when I look into the sky my hand dwarfs the moon. Doesn't mean that my hand actually dwarfs the moon.

Are you kidding me Ego is RIGHT NEXT to the Earth in the last panel and is at least 1/3rd it's size.

No he isn't. He still is many miles off. Remember distances in space are greater than we perceive.

Yeah but if it were a significant enough distance for the perspective to be all wacky, it would be greater then the Earth's diameter. Face it, when you look at that scan there's simply no way Ego is "about the size of a pyramid."

Hulk would be the fastest "World Breaker". Pretty much instantaneously obliterate the planet.

Magneto would be the next quickest, messing with the planet's core and magnetic field.

Thor / Storm would be third, pretty obvious how they would lay waste.

Superman would HV/punch his way around the planet.

GL would take the longest, imo.

Superman would fly through the planet, destroying it in seconds.

Storm shouldn't even be in this thread.

Superman.

He didn't ask for the world to be destroyed (though that is an option), but for the character to "lay waste" to it.

Storm should be able to do this, in the same manner as Thor would, with weather ****ery on a global-scale.

Superman would still do it faster than Storm. She'd be the slowest by far.

with the speed superman has, he will be destroying every city, country and continent faster than either storm or thor would be able to create a tornado.

Against glory he has summoned those winds very fast and they would certainly destroy the planet 1000 faster than if storm tried, but i think you're white just because I saw your "picture" and remembered thor striking the god-butcher and the planets shattering around them...

Superman just needs to fly thru the core. And the planet would blow up.

Hulk could almost do the same thing.

To be more precise, it's after he takes a shiet. When his anus closes back and thunder claps the hell out of whatever planet he's shittin on.

For example I'm new and I don't have an image that represents me

Nah.

Faster than light speed means he destroys earth faster than Hulk.

Yes. She doesn't have to go anywhere, it will just be a chain. And Clark is fast, really fast but I just don't see him doing it before her IMO. Do you have Netflix? There's a documentary there on extreme weather....pretty scary stuff

Given that he can fly up in to space and just fire large blasts of heat vision that will stretch for miles, I'm not so sure she can do it, tbh.

That, and I don't think that, on average, she's powerful enough to pull off something like that, especially in terms of speed.

Edit: I don't have Netflix, no.

At her most powerful, storm would've wasted North America in one week if she would've kept her storms at max power and let the chain reaction do all the work. Lulz @ her wasting a planet in less time than Superman,
