Who wins this?

BattleMage
Beta Ray Bill

Prep-Man
Eradicator. He has feats on the level of Surfer and probable his equal.

YFZ 350
Eradicator.

Galan007
Bill wins, imo.

If Majestic can cut through the shielding/armor of Eradicator (in full fortress-mode) with HV, then surely blasts from Stormbreaker could tear through the shielding/armor of the even weaker version of Erads specified in this match -- As for the offensive blasts Erads can utilize, they'd be easily deflected or absorbed via Stormbreaker -- As for a physical melee, Bill has cracked Galactus' helm and shattered planetoids (to name a few) with strikes from his hammer... And I've seen Erads smacked to the wayside by a casual backhand from Majestic, and KO'd (almost killed) by a single strike from an OMAC.

Ambient
This would be a similar fight tween BRB and Stardust..

The Omac version was an extremely weakened and sunlight starved version of Erads. The whole reason Supes/Steel/Superboy even showed up was bc Erads put out a faint distress signal.

The same Erads that was backslapped was about to crush Majestic with one hand. Majestic then told Erads later "You almost killed me."

BRB's blasts could also be absorbed/redirected by by Eradicator. I'd wager that Eradicator has a hell of a lot more powers than Bill does.

Let's not forget that BRB was beat up by the same version of Champion that She-Hulk easily beat if we really want to go after "low" feats.

"Id"
I am incline to vote in favor of Bill, since horse face is shown consistently good.

Yep. Eradicator is a bit more versatile than Bill, IMO.

Eradicator takes this, handily.

Steel is the one who initiated a JLA distress signal, and that was because Erads had gone berzerk and owned him. Additionally, that issue never mentions Erads being "sunlight starved" -- in fact, all of his battles took place in the sunlight.

Sorry, but if Majestic's HV can cut through Eradicator's upgraded armor that easily, then Bill's blasts could as well.

Has Eradicator absorbed high-level, magic-based attacks (of which Stormbreaker produces)? I only remember him absorbing energy from the FoS, and the sun. If he has, can you please provide a source?

And your opinion that Eradicator has more powers than Bill is moot whether he does or not. Why? Because regardless of how many powers Erads has, Bill has shown, time and time again, that he is able to block/shield against high-level attacks from the likes of Surfer, Thor, Stardust, the Skrull Godkiller, etc. Furthermore, Bill has shown the offensive capability to take down B&T Thor (who owned Surfer with ease) after he got angry/serious. So yeah...

Prep-Man
Was Bill able to beat the Surfer last time? He hardly could keep up.

Galan007
^ a.) The Surfer of nowadays is a whole lot more than he used to be. b.) It should be noted that Bill was very much "keeping up" with Surfer, until he used his board to hit Bill from behind. That's how Surfer was able to gain the edge.

If he knew it was coming, he could have probably extended his shielding to a 360 radius.

So a shield that is capable of holding a blast that could take out 1/5 of the universe isn't capable to hold against surfer?

Even if the shield could hold Bill will still always be on the defense if Surfer used a similar tactic. Considering a close of shot from Strombreaker did absolutely nothing to hurt the Surfer.

Well it was Thor's feat, however stormbreaker is equal to mjolnir.

Ask rage for scans, I'm not entirely sure how the scan system works.

Thor had to whirl his hammer and crate a vortex < don't see how he will pull this off when he Bill had to stop Surfer blacks with SB> plus Thor or anybody doing a feat like that today is unlikely.

Considering a close of shot from Strombreaker did absolutely nothing to hurt the Surfer. His shields would hold, I have no doubt of that.

Bill's physical attacks still knocked the bejesus out of Surfer. That's likely why Surfer chose to cheap shot Bill from behind, as before that he was gaining no headway whatsoever.

Originally posted by Galan007 His shields would hold, I have no doubt of that. Based on what? I'm sure he can block with SB but I don't see how a 360 shield will hold attacks from Surfer. Even if they are powerful enough to hold his blast Bill still can't go on the offensive.

Originally posted by Galan007 Bill's physical attacks still knocked the bejesus out of Surfer. Which did absolutely nothing...Surfer seemed unhurt... While bill on the other hand went down rather quickly

Originally posted by Galan007 That's likely why Surfer chose to cheap shot Bill from behind, as before that he was gaining no headway whatsoever. Bill was running... and Surfer was trying to talk sense into him when he realized this did not work he decided to put him down. He did what he had to I mean Bill knew Surfer was out of his board and he didn't think the board can be used as a weapon? Common now

All things considered it even looked like Surfer was actually holding back. Surfer even tells him that he cannot match him so it's better to give up.


Surfer was clearly shown as his superior in BRB own book.

I guess that you missed the part where Steel found him buried alive, damaged, and shielded in lead to the point where even Superman couldn't find him. The only sunlight he got (while still damaged) he pretty much used up as he attacked Supes/Conner.

The "mini" version that Majestic got was far from "FULL" fortress mode. You see in my scans that Supes HV and David Connors attacks together barely did anything in that mode and Erads in another instance wrecked Apolokips. Futhermore, You forgot to add where Majestic admitted that he was trying to stop Erads from killing him.

http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/5378/omnipath5nu.th.jpg

All Maj did was use his powers to initiate multiversal awareness into Erads who was overwhelmed by the sudden overload of data and left. Erads was about to kill him (using one hand and still not even at full transformation.) There wasn't even any damage done to Eradicator while Majestics ribs were about to be crushed.

If Bill somehow acquires knowledge of Kryptonian tech, X-ray vision, surgical skill and precision, close range, Eradicator forgets his powers, and some luck..then just maybe your scenario may pan out.

Energy is just that..energy. To be fair, I'd have to go dig for the scan which states that Eradicator is a master of all forms of energy. In the meanwhile..he could easily take care of Bill like this:

http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/1029/intangible1bk.th.jpg

Or Erad can:

Mindrape.
Transmute.
Take control of his bionetics.
Use offensive T-vo.
Etc.

Do you have any scans/references of Beta being able to stop these types of attacks?

In a straight H2H, I would give it to BRB simply because Erads is not a H2H fighter. However, going all out without CIS? BRB would be hard pressed to get around Erads multitude of options. Why would he have to blast Bill when he could simply shut off his bionic portions? Mind rape him, go FULL Fortress (not mini fortress), go intangible and burn him with every touch?

You also haven't addressed Bill losing to Champion...the same Champion who was easily owned by She-Hulk.

Weird is a energy being, who can manipulate all types. Yes, even magic. If eradicator is the same, he can manipulate Bill's. Energy is energy.

It's right in the scan, buried/damaged. Buried to the point where even Supes didn't find him would be pretty sunlight starved.

No matter how you spin it.. Eradicator was not at 100% mentally of physically in that book. As someone who read it, you know it as well as I do.

Moot point only because it doesn't suit your debate. You claimed "Full Fortress" and I showed you that your example obviously wasn't so. Got it? Glad we're good now.

I could have sworn there was a scan of Eradicator going intangible and burning Supermans face with a touch. Damn. Guess you missed it.

It would be kind of hard to blast someone who can go intangible and yet still attack you with enough power to burn any version of Supermans skin with a touch.

Useless and opinionated conjecture and an entirely different debate since this isn't even remotely true...especially when it's the standard blast here and there superhero fight.

How powerful were these mindrapers? Eradicator has overriden mental control from Maxima, Braniac, Darkseid, ect...

Who tried and failed to control Bills Cybernetics?

Is there a solid example or Bill resisting transmutation of any sort?

Actually you didn't address it. You basically said "it kinda happened in some issue sometime and someplace by someone"... pretty moot.

As for "Full fortress" why wouldn't it be an option? He used it to full effect with no problem in the Apokolips now. No extra powerup needed.

Originally posted by Galan007

The fact that all characters have low showings particularly when it's not their book. An Omac (whose power levels were all over the place in that era) Ko'd an already damaged Eradicator.

Bill was KO'd by a guy who got his ass whipped by She-Hulk in the same book. By coincidence..it was...her book.

We could go around in circles all day, but unlike many here I do not have that type of patience. Bottom line is at the top of their game and IMO Eradicator has the edge. You feel the need to disagree? That's fine.

Dismissed and have a nice day. smile

Nice, the old question with a question scheme....



Eradicator has manipulated the dna of entire civilizations of alien races, turned stone into a kryptonian body, supernova'd the sun, turned a brick building into a highly advanced and working kryptonian structure... ect.

What examples does Bill have in this department?

Here is one or Eradicator just for kicks.

Everything I posted is valid to the character...especially once all of Eradicator versions merged.

The only thing that has changed as far as I am aware is that there were also military units called "Eradicators" after IC.

from what i recall eradicator secondary retcon when superman died.. eradicator no longer had full energy manipulation and his memory was missing..

then the third retcon he was merged by a scientist sharing the mind but the human was dominant personality..

not sure how they continued to retcon the character but a lot of the feats during that time eradicator wasnt aware of due to damage memory and lack of knowledge..

does the current eradicator back to being the pre- crisis story lvls with knowledge and personalities and no longer hampered with the various retcon to his character?

seriously, i am asking

I don't recall Stardust doing the same thing that Eradicator did to Superman at all.

Needless to say...if Stardust would have done the same thing..it probably would have gone better for him/her/it.

intangibility dont mean squat to a magic hammer...

anyways....

that tank trick matter manipulation i doubt would work on a highly advance alien cybernetic life form who happens to also have a magic construct hybridized body with a magic hammer...

BRB would simply negate the energy attempt to manipulate him via just telling the hammer what it wants without talking or twisting it in front of him.. or drawing out eradicators energy based body into the hammer.

That version of Eradicator turned stone into a fully working kryptonian body and manipulated kryptonite energy to power up Superman.

That was Dr. David Connor. However, later story lines showed that the original program never died, it simply had the power to absorb others memories into itself.

There is no pre-crisis Eradicator that I am aware of. Pre-infinity crisis David merged back with Kem-EL (the original program) and even managed to absorb memories from Davids wife along the way.

The last version of Eradicator is all the versions in with the original programming back in charge. Experience has just made him a little nicer but still easily pissed off.

If that was the case then his battles with Stardust and Surfer would have gone a whole different direction then, wouldn't they?

King Castle
look the hammer can miss intangible beings if it is not attuned or charged to hit it..

its the whole spill of them... they make a conscious effort to command the hammer to do something..

if BRB misses the 1st time and brings it back knowing the enemy was intangible a simple mental command to the hammer would let him hit him in the second swing.

that scan i agree that stardust simply made herself tangible.. or could simply have just made parts of her intangible either way BRB wants to hit her he is going to once he finds out she is intangible.

If you saw my scan, you saw how quickly Erads went intangible and then with a simple touch burned Supermans face. Bills face is a far bigger target and being blinded in such a manner would not be advantageous in a battle.

Erads can also consciously do a lot of things. That is the point. I haven't seen any scans yet of Bill resisting matter manip from someone who can perform it on Eradicators level.

Missing an attack on someone with kryptonian+ abilities is never advised.

I have never seen Stardust burn someone with just a touch and causing the type of damage that the Eradicator has.

Bill was KO'd by a guy who got his ass whipped by She-Hulk in the same book. By coincidence..it was...her book.
Champion had the Power Gem against Bill, and She-Hulk beat Champion without the Power Gem.

Thus I bid thee good day. smile

If Bill wasn't moving on a speeding Skuttlebutt, he would have been a still target, and wouldn't have been able to block nearly as many attacks IMO.

Anyway, Bill wins here. Skuttlebutt moving through space didn't have an effect on Bill's ability to block Surfer's energy attacks, doh.

Yes, we could go in circles ad nauseum I'm sure. Certainly I'm sure that we all love digging through back issues to pull out points that the other side will simply ignore.
