Did the count beat the avengers along with thor? Did the avengers dogpile superman after he koed thor and could barely stand? I go with the count after a semi hard fight because it was stated that the count could fight for weeks and supes has been proven to go down fast in a very short time when he fights heavy hitters.

Yes, Nefaria has beaten the Avengers with Wonder Man, Iron-Man, Vision and Thor as the heavy-hitters.

He has also beaten West Coast Avengers line-ups who were comprably as powerful.

I don't think so. I don't see this guy as more powerful than Superman. He got dropped by Vision piledriving him into the ground from a mile up.

And the same guy who wrote that crossover also said Superman was stronger than Nefaria. Where are you going with this?

6/10 for Superman. Guys been churning out sub pre crisis feats lately.

There's a slight difference between quoting the writer of a semi canon crossover you brought up and using the a line from an interview about a superman pastiche owned by another company.

Count Nefaria is very tough. He beat all the Avengers including Wonder Man, Iron Man, Vision and Thor. He stopped Thor's hammer. hundred times faster than Quicksilver and the Whizzer. Yep, he is stronger than Superman and more ruthless.

And as far as I know JLA/Avengers IS canon.

When has Supes taken a punch from someone with Thor's level of strength/punching power without so much as flinching(or something similar)?

He may flinch, but he's taken hits from Zod, Darkseid, Martian Manhunter, White martians, Wonder Woman, Orion, do I really have to list this? erm

Weren't they depicted as squaring off in JLA/Avengers, and a few pages later Superman was already fighting somebody else ?

Anyway, Supes ftw. Superior in pretty much every category.

Sometimes these posts make no sense. It's been stated that CN has taken on a strong roster of Avengers (Earth's mightiest heroes) and won, yet there are still a few out there saying he could never come close to Superman. Why don't we turn the question around. Could Superman defeat that same team of Avengers?

The "without flinching" part is what makes the feat so impressive. If he was never able to take a shot from those people without flinching then it doesn't equal Neferia's feat.

And it occurs to me that the feat I'm talking about may be being misunderstood so I'll clarify so no one thinks I'm trying to misrepresent things. I'm not talking about Neferia actually taking a shot from Thor without flinching, I'm talking about his taking one from classic Wonderman(who was just shy of Thor's level of strength but hit with power comparable to Thor's hammer).

Philosophía
Superman has pulled the 'without flinching' move on quite a few opponents. For example, against DoS Doomsday, and that didn't mean that he was vastly superior in strength/durability to his opponent. Not at all, actually.

And if we start comparing durability/strength feats, it'll end badly for Nefaria.

What was that team? Vision, Wonderman, Thor, Scarlet *****, and who else?

Yeah, I can easily see Superman mowing them down. They just can't hit him. big grin

That's one of countless feats. And that was a much weaker Superman.

Neferia didn't survive via speed, he just kept taking everything they had. If you don't think Supes could do the same, then this statement...

Immediatley after doing that, Superman was sent flying by being hit with such a force that he said he doesn't know if he's ever been hit that hard. He then proceeded with the beating of Superman and the rest of the Justice League, taking their combined assault and trashing multiple opponents at once.

You missed my point. I'm not stating that DoS Doomsday is as strong as Thor, since that's irrelevant. I'm using this example to prove that even if you are taking a hit without flinching, it doesn't make you that far off from your opponent, thus Nefaria doing it isn't supposed to make me go "OMGWOW".

Feat by feat, Superman is better in every category.

Philosophía
Anyhow, you're welcomed to present the arguments in Nefaria's favour, and I'll adress them tomorrow.

This is kinda lopsided...

CN was introduced as a team wrecking villain. They rarely have low showings. Look at Thanos, Konvikt, Amazo, etc. They come in embarass a team of heroes and then get shuffled off using some plot device.

If Nefaria appeared more regularly, he would no doubt have some lower showings to give a more well rounded average. But at this point we are looking at:

Superman- lots of low showings over the years
Nefaria- no low showings

You seem to be forgetting that DD was still partially tied up when Supes was unphased by DD's punch. DD was able to sent him flying with a kick afterwards like that because his legs weren't bound. Taking a punch without flinching in the slightest from someone with Thor and classic Wonderman's strength is incredibly impressive, just as it would be impressive if someone didn't bat an eye after taking a punch from Supes.

And while Supes high end feats are unquestionably more impressive(everyone in the "High Herald" category has at least one or two feats that make you stop and say WTF) the fact of the matter is that he's got plenty of low ended feats that bring his average down from those levels. Count Neferia lacks low ended feats like that except for periods of being depowered so his high end feats ARE his average. He's appeared two times at full power to my knowledge, in one he went through an extended battle with the Avengers(including Thor) and the other he fought an extended battle against the Avengers and the Thunderbolts. If you're claiming that Supes average display of durability is on par with those kinds of things then at I'd be happy to take a look at the evidence to support it.

He had one hand tied up, which was freed once they all attacked him in unison. But I don't see how that's relevant to Superman being unphased by the punch, unless you're suggesting that having his other hand tied up drastically reduced the power of the other punch. Yes, what Nefaria did is impressive, but not certainly soemthing that definitely puts him above Superman, as Superman is also quite a bit above the other two when it comes to strength. The main point is, and I repeat, that the feat is impressive, but not impressive enough to definitely put him above Superman in terms of durability.

Yes, he does have low feats, but that is because he's an earth-bound hero, with thousands of appearances. And it's also made quite clear that he holds back pretty much 99% of the time. I can show you fights, for example, where he is getting knocked around a lot, yet once he gets serious (and by serious I mean not underestimating his opponent, not going 'all out') he quite literally handles them with ease and one-shots them.

HE's been pwned by Vision at 90 tons. That isn't his best. That isn't his average either. That's why I said at his best. From what I remember of him, he's taken shots from Thor's hammer without so much as budging.

He got taken out by the Vision after an extended battle with the Avengers, in fact it was in that same fight that he was taking shots from Thor's hammer. That's not an instance of him being portrayed as less powerful, that's him being worn down after a long fight...

And yeah, I'm willing to bet that the reduced mobility from having one arm tied behind your back like that would affect your punching power.

So Superman has to do something another character has done, in this case take punches without flinching from Wonderman level strength characters, in order for him to be superior to Count Nefaria in durability, eventough he has durability feats far superior to what Count Nefaria has shown ? What kind of idiocy is that ? I just pointed out why reciving a punch from a powerfull opponent without flinching isn't overly impressive, thus the Doomsday example, yet you go on how this showing supposdley prove how much greater than Superman Nefaria is.

Do you want me to ask you to show me Nefaria doing some of the stuff Superman has done. How about escaping a black hole ? Oh yeah, I forgot, he had problems with a portal Thor was sucking him in. Also funny how he wasn't no-selling Wonderman with Captain America's shield, eh ? Or how about Iron Man while amping his armour ? Or Vision. Or Thor. See where this can go ?

And by the same token, Supes has more feats because "he's an earth-bound hero, with thousands of appearances". If we're going to hold true to the characters themselves then we have to look at how they're typically portrayed rather than their high end feats. Supes's average puts him somewhere on Thor's level in the strength/durability department, Neferia's average puts him above it.


How convenient of you to ignore the holding back part, which was one of my main points on why he has more low-showings, and he's not wtfpwning everybody at insane levels, that have been shown he can achieve, eh? Per forum rules, he will operate at a level that Count Nefaria hasn't proven he can. He has showings proving that he is faster, stronger, more durable. I know it, and you even admit it. You're bringing up the 'he doesn't operate at those levels on average thus I'm going to put him at a level that fits me' in order to have Nefaria win, even after I've explained why he doesn't always operate at that level, eventough he has proven that he can. It doesn't work that way.

TricksterPriest
How often do we hear Superman say that he's holding back or that he was trying not to kill someone or critically injure them?

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WorldOfCardboardSpeech

I've posted this before, but this speech is not only quitessential Superman, it's one of the greatest explanations for why Superman has such variable levels.

"That man won't quit as long as he can still draw a breath. None of my teammates will. Me? I've got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made of... cardboard, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am."

It's canon. Stupidity of SMVFL stuff aside, it happened.

Not everyone takes continuity seriously or tries to piece together "facts" to form the "conclusions" that are accepted by individual fans or comic boards. The public couldn't care less. They just want to see fisticuff's and the good guys win at the end.

For once we agree. The rules basically state that if a crossover does something that is smvfl then it can't be used. However, at the same time they do state no noncanon sources. Then again, posters opinions are noncanon as well....

Marvel can figure out their own damn continuity and canon. durfist Both companies have to recognize it. When Batman and Spawn had their crossover, Batman's batarang to his face and the subsequent shoelace face was kept and recognized by Spawn for a long time. Batman's meeting with Spawn was never canonized in DC continuity.

People dissect things to such ridiculous extremes now (things that the authors themselves don't even think about) that it's funny just seeing some of the things that are conjured up.

An xover has just as much chance as a regular comic for either fair portrayal or horrible showings. After all, it's the very same writers who do both the canon and non-canon work. The story should come first no matter what.

This isn't a ridiculous dissection of a story. It's just one of the most obvious holes in plot that nobody usually focuses on because they're too obsessed with how Superman fought Thor. Those artifacts couldn't have been where they were at that approximate time in either DC or Marvel history. Therefore, the story itself couldn't have happened unless it was an alternate universe.

A simulation may not be real but it still can be used to predict a real event. It's always been my impression that the exceptions to non-canon rules is to deal with entities like the Living Tribunal. Because it doesn't matter what alternate universe he appears in, he's in all of them. So you don't limit using alternate universes when it comes to him.

One of the main reasons we have a blanket rule for crossovers is that they usually don't make sense. And you can dismiss their canonicity purely on how ridiculous they are. JLA/Avengers doesn't make sense in many respects and makes sense in others. I agree with that. We could then use rules of PIS to dismiss certain occurrences... if it were canon. But it's not canon because the whole story happens in an alternate universe.

Bottom-line is, canonicity deals with history. Punisher/Batman clearly occurs in an alternate universe. Because in that universe, New York and Gotham City exist in the United States and both characters have heard of each other before they even meet. Obviously, that could never happen in the proper DC or Marvel Universe. It happens in an alternate universe. It had to have happened in an alternate universe. And alternate universes are not canon. Explicit bright-line rule. Same thing with JLA/Avengers. Those artifacts couldn't have been where they were. At all. Alternate universe.

You want to use it to illustrate what you would think happen? That's fine. I've always liked how Chuck Dixon portrayed Batman beating on Punisher in their crossover. Most people agree. So I'll reference it in my discussion with people who agree with me. But I'm not going to hold it as the end-all be-all, canon instance, citable evidence of what actually occurred when I debate with another person who disagrees that's how it should have went down. And JLA/Avengers is one of the most hotly debated crossovers ever. It's not canon. Use it, talk about it. Don't hold it against other people as citable evidence in a debate. That wasn't them. That was an alternate universe(s) filled with alternate versions of those characters.

You're completely incorrect. You need to reread JLA/Avengers again. The combination reality of Eternity and Kismet doesn't happen until after the artifacts have been gathered and Grandmaster uses them to merge the two realities. The Avengers and JLA go running around in each other's universes and their own universes to recover the scattered artifacts before the merged reality.

And I'd appreciate it if you don't mischaracterize me as screaming. As if screaming would take away the truth of my statements. I'm not screaming. I'm exasperrated at having to explain such obvious and indisputable facts to people who are resistant to the rules simply because it serves their own opinions. You're saying it's canon because it makes sense to you (but not to others) and even though the adventure clearly happens in alternate universe(s) and there's some vague reference in a handbook? Batman/Punisher makes perfect sense to me except it happens in an alternate universe. I wouldn't use a vague reference in one company's handbook to support it's canonicity.

The idea of Gotham may be New York, yes, but neither on Earth-0 or the 616 Marvel Universe is that true. The Statue of Liberty is not in Gotham as far as I recall. Either way, in Batman/Punisher they are two separate and distinct locations in that alternate universe. Batman pretty much tells him to get out of Gotham and go back to New York and Punisher acquiesces.

Dick was living in New York, he just came back to Gotham since Bruce disappeared, they are obviously 2 separate places.

The story occurs in very similar but absolutely alternate universes. Who cares if they were almost similar? Batman in the Punisher/Batman story was just coming back from having his back broken by Bane. Just because it references canon events doesn't make the god damn story canon! So no, bringing back dead guys (which they'd also have to do in an extremely similar analogue alternate universe) does NOT make it obviously canon. Jebus.

Whether or not it is a crossover is irrelevant. Whether or not there are feats that scream PIS is irrelevant. The adventure clearly happens in alternate universes. Get over it. Stop overgeneralizing on ambiguities and handbooks and ignoring the simple truth: IT'S NOT CANON.

That's not what it is at all. Crossovers in general are looked on pretty unfavourably, and in most cases, its warranted. This is a Count Nefaria Vs Superman fight. I'm sure there are other comics people can use to make their arguments.

We're talking about one more crossover to complete the bunch, thats all. We're not banning arcs are storylines exclusive to either company, of which there are plenty.

remember when people wanted wolverine origins banned? it didn't happen, and it won't happen. crossovers are the exception, not the rule.

Even though Superman has more speed; as mentioned, his reserves are lesser than that of Nefaria.

All of the slight advantages Superman has at the outset would diminish while Nefaria remains at optimal strength.

I go with Nefaria.

The whole draining of ionic powers limitation occurs when Count Nefaria is resurrected as an ionic being. He was at his max before that. Since this thread uses a "max Count Nefaria," I think most of us have assumed we are using the incarnation before his ionic form.

^ Never mind. Apparently Count Nefaria used science to imitate the powers of the three characters when they were amped. Just reread it. My mistake. Did Bendis get it wrong when he had Count Nefaria steal away Spiderman's power during the RAFT breakout?

No it's a way of saying "Supes/Surfer/Thor/Flash shouldn't be judged solely on their preformances against Darkseid/Unilord/Celestials/Black Flash because they have plenty of showings that are far less impressive". It's a subjective topic, but then again so are most things being discussed on the vs Forum.

But if people would rather go solely by high end feats I guess we could just say that no one less powerful than Darkseid/Unilord can beat Supes/Surfer, no one less durable than a Celestial can survive a shot from Thor's hammer, and no one slower than Death can catch the Flash, regardless of how often other characters accomplish those very feats.

But I won't press the point, if you're done that's cool...

Superman has gone up against Darkseid long enough to prove that he is on his level when fighting one on one, so to be honest I see your example as a bad one. I addmitedly haven't read the Unilord saga, so I can't speak about that, although issue numbers so I can read it tomorrow would be appreciated. And it's not like Thor was fighting the Celestials on equal footing or anything like that, he was clearly the underdog, and the damage he did as far as I recall was with the belt of strength, and practically focusing all he got on that blow, so saying that nothing less than a Celestial can survive Thor's hammer based on that is inaccurate. Death was actually catching up with Flash, and the only reason he survived was because he reached the end of the Universe and, afterall, I see nothing wrong with this being used in debates, since Flash has quite a few examples of high-speed feats.

It is my opinion that it's in this matches that we actually see the true capabilities of the characters, events in which their capabilities are truly tested, and not in the 'average' showings, in which they tend not to go all out. So as long as the showing doesn't contradict the character's established powerset/history (like in the case of the famous Firelord vs Spiderman or Silver Surfer vs Black Panther), then I see them as admissable in a 'full capacity' fight.

This discussion mostly belongs to the rules thread, though.

Could Supes have withstood the beating from Thor and the rest or not? Neferia's feat IS withstanding that beating, if Supes can't do it then Neferia's superior in that respect. I'm not arguing that Neferia or the Avengers beats Supes, I'm arguing that Neferia's more durable.

Sundip, and also never said, or even really alluded to actually...
That's probably a good feat when it happened...
Didn't he get dropped in one shot taking the Astro Force?
How is that impressive? It's not like he took a supremely destructive force while under the Red Sun.
Which he put in while he was extremely powered up. Also seemed to do with his iconic nature. As well as seemingly irrelevant to battles. More of a cool feat than anything.
How is dying to DD Rex a good feat? His heart got pumped again, and iirc, he was amped after.
He's been tooled by Henshaw... tons of times.
Double black hole. Nothing wrong with that.
