Imperiex Probe vs Apoc

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



The Nuul
Non jobbing Apoc.

Who wins?

Estacado
Probe 10/10

Omega Vision
Yeah if this is the kind of probe that were wrecking teams then Apoc gets beaten pretty decisively.

Q99
It depends on the quality of the probe. Some're team wreckers, some not.

The quickest way to take them out, pull apart their armor in melee, tends to lead to mutual take-downs.

Imperiex Probe for the majority win, because this guy give Superman major trouble.

You know, that's really not an argument, especially when we were making two separate points. I'm not sure why you even included mine, some *are* a lot weaker or stronger.

I think Apoc should solidly beat the weaker probes, and the stronger ones depend a fair amount on his knowledge and tactics of the Probe. Once they learned the trick to it, even individual herald-levellers were beating the ones that were beating teams before.

Doomsday was wrecking them like paper mache...but that's Doomsday.

It took Superman and Mongul Jr putting in their best effort to take down one of the first ones.

Q99
The first one was a tough one, as was the one that took out J'onn and Kyle before Diana cracked it.

The ones blocking SM and DD, not only was Doomsday ripping through them but so was Superman, without much problem. The JSA took out multiple too. They were a different color than the previous tough ones IIrc.

The one that Aquaman took out with the Trident of Poseidon or the one that Black Lightning with the help of an atomic tank took out were likely the weakest.

He has almost no telepathy whatsoever. He can maybe read minds. Maybe. Not that it would matter against an Imperiex Probe.

Neither has the speed or strength needed to drop a Probe. Wonder Woman needed to be fully geared to breach one's armor, and then still got rocked by the ensuing explosion. But yeah, the same damn Probes that destroyed entire planets are going to get stab-stomped by Wolverne.

I don't think he was amped at all when he fought the probes. It's a moot point since Apocalypse isn't close to Superman's physical equal.

You claiming all they had going for them is strength. They have far more versatlity and the gap between Wolverine and many of the JLA he fought is vast. Yet claws (which has failed to cut everything as you claimed it could) and a HF (one could argue Martian Manhunter has a better healing factor) overcome their abilities?

Ding! Even though Wolverine's claws are incredibly sharp they have failed against many things. Which some of the reason was due to the fact he doesn't generate enough force to cut the said object.

and that is horribly faulty logic as the JLA teams a probe defeated are vastly superior to the duo of Colossus and Wolverine in pretty much all areas.

Not really, especially when people stronger and faster then the duo have failed. Yet their going to have success here? Interesting. Precious, simply precious.

Harbinger
Then why was Supes able to do tear through Probes when he stopped holding back?

Seriously, the whole "the Probes are weak to cutting attacks" deal is dubious. WW might be in Supes'/DD's strength tier, but both are a fair bit stronger than she is. Plus, Wondy was able to take out one probe via blunt force (she used her shield to do so, IIRC).

Even if that were true, that doesn't explain away them sonning Zod (twice), one-shotting Supergirl, beating Supes + Mongul, etc. OWAW was pretty sure to portray the Probes as being very powerful. (which is why it took DD and a non-holcing back Supes to finally beat them) It's disingenuous to play the PIS/CIS card given everything that they did.

By showing, for some strange reason the probes were weaker during the time Supes and Doomsday fought them. It was NUMEROUS of times where Superman fought a probe out of anger and it was pretty obvious that he wasnt holding back but those probes, I guess Imperex didnt give them enough juice.

Q99
It's not just that batch that was weaker.

The Outsiders (Dr. Light, Geo-Force, etc.) defeated one with no casualties in antarctica. Hippolyta and Aquaman both killed ones (though both dying in the process), and WW off-screen killed another too (Diana and Hippolyta were attacked by two, Hippy killed one of 'em, and before that there was a brief scene of one of the Wonders, it was hard to tell due to armor, holding off both Probes at once).

Then for another stronger example, a Purple Probe matched Superman blow for blow for awhile after it had taken down the Titans (Starfire, Donna, etc.), and this was after the DD/Supes fight where he took a few in a row rapidly, he was still plenty angry and not wounded yet that one was able to give him more fight than it's brother probes.


Different amounts of juice seems right to me.

The Outsiders (Dr. Light, Geo-Force, etc.) defeated one with no casualties in antarctica. Hippolyta and Aquaman both killed ones (though both dying in the process), and WW off-screen killed another too (Diana and Hippolyta were attacked by two, Hippy killed one of 'em, and before that there was a brief scene of one of the Wonders, it was hard to tell due to armor, holding off both Probes at once).

Then for another stronger example, a Purple Probe matched Superman blow for blow for awhile after it had taken down the Titans (Starfire, Donna, etc.), and this was after the DD/Supes fight where he took a few in a row rapidly, he was still plenty angry and not wounded yet that one was able to give him more fight than it's brother probes.


Different amounts of juice seems right to me.

Lets not even bring up the fact that Hippolyta took out two probes by just throwing a ship to the head and taking it off. Then we have the scene where Supergirl and Black lightning stalemated one and then took it out with an explosion that wasnt even comparable to a nuke, hell, it didnt even do that much damage to the surrounding area and black lightning was still standing.

Then Wonder Woman took out one with a shield to the back of the head and the list goes on. I wasnt impressed at all by the probes. It was a selected few that was impressive and even then it wasnt at a rate that people here are putting them.

The JLA just fought the probes like dimwits... hell, if we go by all the people that have dropped the JLA and say that they could beat anyone then we would have walking skyfathers in DCU. Hell, Despero took out the JLA AND the JSA but got one shotted by Superman and almost got stalemated by the martian.

One of 'em at least was using the lasso to behead it.



That, btw, was the JLA-beater one.
