Precog gets shields up before surfer hits. Also Cable is a tactical genius as well as having many years of practical experience.

Have to give this to Xman 6-7/10 over surfer. Surfer's psy resistance maybe high but it isn't going to compare to someone whos powers have been called near equal to phoenix force avatars/ Dark Phoenix and has only increased in skill since then. Xman to my knowledge hasn't really been nerfed and his power and control keeps going up and up. Giving him the capacity of Cable for control as well as his own which it is likely he removed his vampiric infection from Morbius with he will psychic stomp surfer.

Surfer does have more experience but not necessarily more raw power than xman and in bloodlusted state I think that further works in Xman's favor. Surfer would do better without it IMO in this case.

However Xman with Cable experience even without bloodlust I'm not really sure how Surfer could beat Nate in a straight fight.

Only real way I see surfer doing it is go back in time and kill Nate before he comes into his powers.

Galan007
^ Nate needs to have his shields up if he's going to last. Otherwise this would end much like the Surfer/Jesus-Cable battle, me thinks.

what would the shields provide nate with?

last i check he is mostly intangible for the most part.

not saying that SS cant hit him but, should give nate a few precious seconds to raise shields and what not while SS calibrates his attacks.

I Surfer's sheer versatility wins. I don't think X-Man's shields would hold up to a blackhole, and Surfer's also got speed on his side. I'm an X-Man fanboy, but I can't see him taking more than 1-2/10, especially without CIS. If Nate started with his shield up, I can't see it staying up for more than a hit or 2.

makenzye
Surfer's "philosophy" has sort of been changed after his Galactus upgrade in Annihilation.

If the Surfer were looking to kill the opponent, which it seems he is, given the bloodlust, plus full knowledge of his opponent, it would be a difficult fight, but I'm pretty sure Surfer would win.

And if not, he'd just make a black hole and be done with the whole thing.

High end reality manipulaters Jaspers, Richards, peak Phoenix,

Beings that can bring to absurd amounts of energy to the field, galactus, beyonder, inbetweener pre-retcon, Abstracts.

Some thinkers, prepmasters, and high end mages
peak classic strange, Doom, Reed, kid omega, few others but you get the idea. Most trans level characters and above could take SNG down and some HH could do it too, depending on their powerset.

This one could really go either way.

No what I mean is. I think its highly unreasonable for Surfer to go back in time, and kill Nate. Nate would know of Surfers intentions thanks to his pre-cog/ability to view the entire timeline, backed with the ability to manipulate time with more freighting ease.

He sees the tree of possible events branching out before him, he's not Manhatan and doesn't see the entire timeline, he sees the many possible outcomes and plays it off them. SS can likely follow him into planck time like ares did as he can timetravel and cross dimensional borders by himself. Tracking him with his cosmic senses and CA shouldn't be an issue either.

This is a toss up as there are too many variables here. Battle can go to the astral plane, the real wolrd, planck time, other dimensions SS takes them to, etc.

SNG can probably mindrape SS eventually, but it might end before that with a massive energy attack that depletes SNG's reserves - his energy levels were still inconsistant during dark x-men which makes this even more likely.

The Cosmic Swell thing wasn't just outside the universe, it was outside the Marvel Multiverse/Omniverse. Surfer's shown to be able to travel to/from the Microverse, Negaverse, alternate dimensions, alternate timelines, and I don't even know where all else, BFRing him really isn't much of an option.

Surfer would prolly just blitz Nate and disperse him before he can form a suitable defense. Dispersing him WOULD count as a win.

Also, other than telepathy (w/c the Surfer has shown some ability in), Surfer pretty much has the got the better higher end feats between the two. Planet smashing. Tanking planet killing attacks. Making black holes. Matter manipulation on a planetary scale. Etc. What does Nate has that would trump the Surfer's top end feats?

That is, of course, Nate has similar/equal speed feats to Surfer's. smile

illadelph12
Some interesting arguments. Nate's a very high end opponent, but IMO Surfer just has the tools to take most people near his class. In this case his ability to transmute matter as well as modulate and convert energy. It's not a slight to Nate's standing by any means that Surfer has a tactical avenue to defeat him, just like it isn't for Superman.

Superman vs. Nate would be very interesting though.

illadelph12
According to many Superman has the ability to vibrate himself to a harmonic which allows him to become intangible and/or interact with intangible objects/opponents. He supposedly can also alter his heat vision frequency in a similar fashion. I'm pretty sure an argument can and will be made given how staunch the Supes supporters are.

Badabing
These threads are more relevant to the battlezone forum with the similar stipulations. I also don't really want repeat threads in the vs forum. Moved.

753
Counter-vibration was used to destroy (or disperse) DS's vibrational energy form, but claiming it as kill-all plot device that can be used on anything in the forums is stretching it a bit. Its use is unlikely, SNG can step into another dimension to avoid it (he can learn of it and anticpate its use through TP and precog) or put SM down before he uses it.

The idea that everything (according to SM) has a vibration and can be cancelled by a counter-vibration doesn't mean a priori that SM knows what all the vibrations would be or that he can replicate them. It's also a concept inherent to the DC universe, in a neutral one, we could expect it to work, but at the same time, other characters, might not be made of said vibrations. Whether or not SNG could reform afterwards (survive or escape into the astral plane or whatever) or even if it would work remain somewhat speculative.

Ok so your claiming the following.


Speed Blitz option.
The option permanently take him down by dispersing him.
Better stats (Taking/Dishing Planet Smashing attacks).
Planetary Matter Manipulation.


With your comment ending if Nate can match, or rival Surfers speed. Lets tackle these one by one, starting by your opening/ending statement. The Speed issue. Why would Nate be worried about Norrins nanosecond reaction, if Nate is operating on Planck Units? The idea that Surfer could blitz Nate is unreasonable, if he is perceiving the world in strikingly smaller units of time. confused

I don't think he perceives the world that way constantly. His reactions seemed human-like when he was last interacing with other characters.

b dispersing him wouldnt have lasting effects, his mind would survive and reform a body to interact with the physical world again. But it could count as a temp win.

c SNG could walk through almost any level of blast dished at him by avoiding the damage (phasing, dimensionshift, etc) instead of tanking it, so his faux matter body durabilty isn't a big issue. Still, energy manipulation and more exotic attacks should harm him.

d this would pin SS's control over matter against SNG's. SS has the better feats in this departament

This could go either way.

Nah!! I've never seen Nate manipulate matter/energies as complex as Surfer like for ex. making a deviant body w/ complete abilities, evolving a single human or a whole planet, there is also configuring quantum, interstellar, red-sol, soul, psi, magic etc.. energies, healing, binding, transporting, etc, etc, etc.. Also when it comes to higher energy output; there is that blackhole or solar destructive feat course given enough energy to absorb...

Like i said his just far more skilled in the use of his powers compared to Nate as shown in those feats mention ++++ theres more, same with energy output.. Less of course nate got some major feats ive missed recently..

Nate felt out of control with his powers gimping out. But he explains how Gwen was created with relative ease, on a stray thought.

To me your brining up examples of how experienced Surfer uses his power of cosmic, one high point at a time. And I concede he is the better matter/energy manipulator of the two. If

However in carrying out his practice, with excellent performance I give the nod to Nate. Because with his one ability (Psionics), he is able to multitask, and handle a great deal big or exotic abilities on the fly. That requires a great amount of skill. Because I am not talking about pulling one big feat at a time, relaying on such accomplishment would be unpractical. But carrying out several big abilities at once, that requires skill to match its raw power.

I took it as more to do with the scope of his power - a stray thought from Parker shaped by Nates powers - basically it had nothing to do with Nate thinking therefore requiring no skill in that feat, his powers just auto recreated her.

I had thought we were discussing Shaman Nate not Cable, less i'm missing something. It has been a while and i've missed some back issues of X-Man..

Anyhow.. Surfer has done something similar in regards to those feats you mentioned from merging with planet Earth and at the same time erecting shields in big cities, fixed global catastrophe all over the glove from Tidal wave, Earth Quakes, riots, etc.. Then there was the plaque he removed @ a molecular level from millions of corpses a single body at time and to make sure that science couldn't detect any manipulation of it. There is also his combat feats against a Shiar ship were he use forcefield and energy drained at the same time, etc.. etc.. His actually done this kinda showing a lot, displaying diff. abilities, multitasking in a single issue..

Ahh! My bad...

Still i'm sticking with my argument.. Surfer can pretty much match or perhaps even is greater than Nates multitasking; showing off diff. exotic abilities on the fly as i've given some examples in my previous post, so that and his capacity to pull of big feat as mention should be enough to warrant > against Nate in regards to complete mastery in matter/energy manipulation.. This and the fact that his shown to have greater raw energy output is why i think he wins...

You do know that Surfer can do all those you mention right? The only ability Nate trumps him is telepathy and just a slight edge at that, then we take a look at his defensive showing against this type of attack from opponent who perhaps equal or even rival Nate - There is the goddess w/ several cosmic cube, Moondragons w/ soul gem, the great one to name a few - Surfer pretty much showed very high tp resistance against this cosmic being.. So you can pretty much tell that whatever Nate can master with a tp assault, Surfer can block it or either shake it off, He is not going to lose with that type of attack.. My 2 cents..

X-Man's telepathy is being gauged because he expelled Xavier from the astral plane? Moondragon, wtfpwned Xavier with a telepathic blast slumping him into being a vegetable in Infinity Crusade #3.

And then, a few pages later in that same issue, Surfer tanked Moondragon's telepathic assault and just went into superhero pose.

The point i was trying to make was that Surfer possesses very high mental defenses, proven by the many feats i've previously mentioned and not that he is totally immune to it, thought on one occasions he created a shield that supposed to stop TP intrusion but im not going to focus on that one at this time however what i am going to focus on is his high tolerance against this sort of attack, as he has demonstrated. Its going to take a lot of concentration for Nate to even get past/break that defensive wall, quite frankly a unfavorable and disadvantageous move on his part as he would be unable to multitask and be open to diff. attacks..

You mention both 2 incident - Grand practitioner Tey and the Virus - both affected Surfer perception of reality, now there are a few things that need to be addressed in those events; 1st off he allowed it to happen, 2nd his senses where never at a loss, 3rd he never loss his grasp of reality, and 4th he could sync out of it at any time... This pretty much is a poor ex. of tp feat against Surfer as his mind was in no real danger...

My proof is in Surfer tp defenses to which was given by example.. If my memory serves me correctly there where only two beings in his entire history to successfully and forcibly affect/changed Surfer via tp; Galactus and the Goddess.. I just don't think Nate is on the same league as the two i mentioned above at this moment for both control and power telepathically..

Yes i do understand that Nate is one of the biggest tier in that leaque but what you also need to understand is that Surfer has faced beings in the same class or even higher and come out on top.. Being compared is good and all but you need actual feat to actually be equal, less now were saying Surfer = MM since they been compared before..

So to sum it up - Nate needs a lot of concentration for tp assault to be of advantage however its a double edge sword as loss of concentration = unable to multitask = opening on his defenses = advantage to Surfer - ..

X-Man throws a monkey wrench at Surfer offensive matter manipulating arguments. Why? X-Man capacity to warp reality is part of his M.O. biatch!

It makes no diff.. Surfer is unaffected by reality manipulation..

Right! Should da phrase it properly but the point is his not totally without any defense against this sort of attack..
