Doom's mysticism is what puts him over the edge. Crimson Bands of Cytorrak, summoning Mindless Ones, spells capable of damaging top tiers, etc.

Sentry would merc Nova, too if he was having a good day. Prior to that a simple spell from Doom nearly caused Sentry to lose his shit. Doom also survived being attacked by mad Celestials just recently. His armor and shields have a impressive laundry list of accomplishments. Either way, Sentry going through them isn't a low showing for Doom.

I doubt it.

CosmicComet
Is Doom's reaction time anything above peak human at all?

JakeTheBank
Yes.

His mind and reactions work faster than the most sophiscated supercomputers on the planet. Plus he caught Lord Rogers' shield toss in mid-air. Abstract level feat.

I doubt it. What Sentry would do to Nova means nothing, plus Sentry has no feats saying he'd bust through Novas shields. Lord Marvell only just got through Novas menatl defences, and he (LM) is above Doom.
Sphinx with the 2 KA stones was merging 2 timelines, that alone shows his power was greater the mad Celestials.

The complete ease he went through Dooms shields shows the aint all that great combined with speed

CosmicComet
So his reflexes can be measured in nanoseconds?

I can buy that his brain works that fast to come up with a solution to a problem in front of him, but being able to actually move his body within nanoseconds?

Yes, he does.

God knows I phucking despise the Sentry with a passion to darken the very sun itself, but he's powerful as hell and you can't deny it. Shitty character, sure, but when he's operating on a good day, he's easily High Herald or Trans. My point is that using Sentry as a means to discredit or downplay Doom's shield isn't a good example at all. And then you have everything else Doom's shields and armor have taken such as the Infinity Gauntlet, Classic Beyonder, attacks from bonafide heralds beings, etc.

I don't see Nova's speed being much of an overwhelming factor at all against Doom and everything he brings to the table.

dmills
Doom is a big problem for most heralds. Thor, Sentry etc. Nova isn't walking through doom that's for sure.

Existere
I sort of think Magneto has a better chance of besting Nova than Doom does, and people seemed to think that he would lose.

I don't think Doom's shields could hold up to a prolonged assault from Nova and I don't think that Doom's shown enough prowess with any of his offenses to definitively say he could put Nova down more often than not.

Flip side, I don't think Nova's done enough with nodes (that I've seen anyways) to make me believe he could casually cancel out anything Doom tosses his way/throw up in defense.

But yeah, Nova probably takes this the majority.

abhilegend
I changed my mind. Nova barely.

JakeTheBank
In a random encounter, it'd be a competitive match. Doom's tech and mysticism and the ease and skill in which he's able to meld them in the midst of battle effectively grants him a power set capable of fighting well outside his perceived weight class. Without BFR, it's even more so competitive, though, given Doom's time platform and teleportation and Nova's own abilities, even with it on, I doubt a BFR would last long enough to count as a win.

I'd give Nova the edge when it comes to sheer firepower, though.

Not sure what's funny about it. I may hate the guy, but I can be objective.

Using Sentry as a means to argue that Nova can do the same is faulty. It would be like me saying Doom's shield and armor have endured the Beyonder's power, so Nova stands no chance in hell at breaching his defenses. It's why immediately flocking to High End feats is stupid, especially when it doesn't consistently take Sphinx w/ Ka Stones level power to hurt Nova. The narration clearly stated that his armor and shields saved him from total annhilation. Even holding back or subsconciously wanting to fail or whatever, the blast would have killed Doom, had his armor/shields not been incredibly powerful. Not sure why you're counting the Beyonder feat as PIS but not Nova's, but ok. He's taken blows and attacks from Sentry, Thor, Silver Surfer, Hulk, Magneto, etc.

Because speed gets vastly overrated on the forums for one thing and given his capabilities, Doom could do everything from stop time completely, slow its effect, or reverse it.

The node thing is just something I was kicking around a little bit. I came across it while doing some research for my own writing project how Nodes cancel out wavelengths from the EM spectrum etc. Then I had a flashback to a couple of Nova feats that had always perplexed me. The one where he traps the being of psionic energy inside of a gravity node and the one where he cuts off the magical transmissions to the parasites that were coming from the cancerverse. They never made sense to me until I actually stumbled across what a Node in physics really is. Nova having a sort of hard sci-fi angle, now it all makes sense to me lol.

Having said all of that, I get it that peeps don't necessarily buy into it.

Horrificus

AlmightyKfish
Nova takes this, but Doom makes him work for it.

Doom's magic and resourcefulness is going to be a bit of a wildcard, but between Nova's, sheer power, versitality, speed and the fact that Worldmind could potentially cause some havoc with Doom's armour gives Nova the win here...

No its not, Doom couldnt handle Sentry speed thats one of the reasons he got throught the shields. Use that if you want everybody knows it was a pis feat. To actually bust through his shields it does take a certain lvl of power, beyond what Doom has. It maybe did, as others did survive attack from a depowered Thanos that was taking it easy on the heroes. If Thanos wanted to kill him he would have been dead, Thanos even said he death could by arrange if he wanted(another shot at the gauntlet that is) Because Beyonder was pwning Celestial with ease yet Doom is a problem Lol And he hasnt reallly taken any wins from any of them without prep or some form of circumstance.

Nova uses his speed in battle on a regular, its one of his main weapons. Sphinx tried time manip and failed

Or magic, which is wildly unpredictable and pretty deus ex machina. The concept just hasn't been explored enough in the comic book world for me to be able to place faith in it as a strong counter to top tier energy manipulators.

That's pretty blatantly false. Sentry fluctuates wildly, but some of his top feats were breaking the herald/trans barrier.

To think that Doom, a character that has no problem challenging, or accepting challenges from characters at ANY level of power, would not regularly be prepared for battling a being with super-speed, is a mistake.

The "speed" argument fails as a serious tool against Doom.

The whole "powerful-fast-strong-flying-space" guy argument falls short as well.

We are talking about Dr. Doom. Basically, a weaponized, armored, flying, super-strong, cruel Reed Richards, with a knack for the mystic arts on-top of it all.

Honestly? Dr. Doom isn't ALWAYS prepared for a fight with somebody like Nova?

Come on.

I mean, if it was somebody with powers that were outside the "norm", there would be possibilities. But, Nova has the standard top-level, hero skill-set.

Dr. Doom has been written to be prepared for anything, anyone, anywhere, any-when.

Nova is run-of-the-mill, square-jaw super hero material.

He goes down.

dmills
Nova has feats of taking magic blasts just fine, the crimson bands might be and option, but my money is on Rider placing him in a grav field before Doom does his thing. Not to mention that Rider has the Worldmind backing him and I sure as hell don't see Doom beating Rider in a blasting contest. That'd be like Thor out swimming Namor.

Clearly hasn't read much Nova.

And as for the super speed argument, the way this generally works is we post scans supporting our positions. So while what you said sounds great, I'd like to see some feats of him countering a speed blitz of sorts.

dmills
Anyway, my two cents on the fight. It's semi long so I'm sure most will ignore it lol.

Even without going the high end route (Sphinx double ka stones, Ego etc), Rider has demonstrated the raw power to hurt people significantly more powerful then himself and the depth of his abilities and tactical mind shouldn't be underestimated either.

He's also got his energy absorption, general gravity manipulation abilities, nodes etc. And we haven't even gotten into the Worldmind aiding him as well.

Doom is the man. A villains villain. But I think a smart fighting Nova Prime has the tools to beat him more often then not in a random encounter. Especially given the fact that a random encounter for Nova is never as random as it would be for most given that he has extensive files on just about every hero, villain and alien race in the mu. And the Worldmind to really phuck with Doom's tech.

Funny how the omission of a few key words can change the entire context of a sentence. I've just been kmc'd lulz.

Horrificus
Yeah, the problem is that in order for Doom to lose, you would have to basically ignore the attributes that make Doom the character that he is.

It is kind of like saying that Nova cannot use World Mind, or Flight.

The character, Doctor Doom, has enough experience and intelligence and existing prep to be ready for everything on Nova's list.

I'm not sure that I'm getting at what you mean. It seems to me that you're essentially saying that "Doom wins because he's Doom". And while I wholeheartedly agree that he's a badass, ultimately that's not how we debate here.

To your second point, Flight etc are attributes of Nova's power-set, but they aren't what makes Nova Nova. Hell even the WM doesn't make make or break Nova, as Rider has proven even it wrong on a few occasions. What makes Rich tick is his tactical mind, his never say die attitude and his propensity to command respect. Even from his enemies.

I think this sequence says it all for me

Now that's respect.

All that said, my position is simply that the match (random encounter, .5 km apart, genera knowledge etc) favors Nova imo. I just don't think he'd beat Rider at his own game, namely, a blasting contest, quick cqb etc.

What makes Rich tick is his tactical mind, his never say die attitude and his propensity to command respect. Even from his enemies.

I think this sequence says it all for me

Now that's respect.

All that said, my position is simply that the match (random encounter, .5 km apart, genera knowledge etc) favors Nova imo. I just don't think he'd beat Rider at his own game, namely, a blasting contest, quick cqb etc.
That's essentialy what all doom fanboys think. I mean c'mon, its funny for awhile but gets really old, really fast.

And to some degree, they're not without merit, but sheesh.

There are very good reasons to think Doom would win here and Rider certainly isn't the biggest gun that he's come across. Far from it in fact. But styles make fights, as is the case here imo.

I remember an old CBR thread where the OP stipulated no magic, someone came in and said Doom uses magic to win, and after being reminded of the OP, he said something like:

"Fool! Doom pays no heed to petty OP restrictions!"

It's why I keep asking.

"Doom wins because he's Doom" isn't some character exclusive remark. Not when you have Hulk, Superman, Wolverine, and Batman floating around there.

As far as this thread goes, explanation for why Doom would win and put up a very tough fight for Nova at the very least have already been explained upon.

I'm not a fanboy, and I'm not using the "because he is Doom" argument.

I'm saying that Doom is a villain (in the eyes of most characters), and is in constant conflict with top-tiers.
Constant conflict with top-tiers.
And, this is by choice, due to his goals.
He is paranoid, brilliant, obsessive.

So, he has proven that he can deal with enemies with Nova's skill-set.

And, because he is insane, combative and incredibly paranoid, it would be wrong to consider that he is unequipped, or unprepared for conflict with somebody with Nova's skill-set at any moment.

Remember, he doesn't even have "powers", the way others do.

Being crazy and always being prepared is his only power. If he doesn't have THAT at all times, he would never survive.

Because he is: (See top of post)- In Constant Conflict with Top-Tiers.

But, I want to be fair.

-Can you tell me the ways that you believe Nova can harm Doom?
-What assets Nova has over Doom?
-How Nova can survive some of Doom's most powerful attacks?
-Any examples of attacks or strategies that Doom would not be prepared for?
-Examples of Nova's most devastating attacks?

I will be completely honest. If the evidence is there, I will have no problem saying Nova wins this.

But, the point I was trying to make is that his mind and motivations r the reasons he is always ready for the skill-set that Nova has.

This has a lot to do with the meaning behind Doom fans using explanations such as, "because, he is Doom".

It is the same thing as saying, "because he is a cruel, crazy, paranoid, angry, brooding, honorable, intelligent, indomitable guy".

If the gist of the discussion is going to be me posting scans up against a lot of highfalutin statements about Doom than we're done here as far as I'm concerned.

If you care to continue the discussion then I ask that you start with the scans that I posted on page 4 of this thread. What I posted was pretty much standard Nova tactics in battle. Shields, blasting, high speed maneuvers etc. When pinned down he tends to go eye blast or full body grav pulse. That's how he'd likely approach Doom at the outset.

On second thought. Lord knows that I don't generally like to run right to the speed card. However due to the way that this debate is being framed, ie people saying things like Doom would just simply take the worldmind, I feel obliged to use that card. Fight starts at .5 km. Rider could close that distance in an eye blink...

The speed of a standard Nova centurion.

So those are a few examples of the speed he brings to the table. In turn I ask to see ON PANEL evidence that Doom would be able to react or counter it. Then we can proceed.

Good post, but that sphinx scene is a little hard to place as how fast nova was going. We see sphinx shouting no two times, first when nova snatches the stones and the second where he see them being tossed in the sun.

The sphinx's perspective would be the key focal point imo. Also just from a logical stand point it wouldn't make sense for the sphinx to literally stand there for 9 seconds shouting no in the same pose.

You can't disagree.

If we can't find a minimum for something, then its becomes unquantifiable.

We don't know how fast that words would be going, so we have to go by our timeframe as the minimum.

You know there are some drawings online that show artist's conceptions of what the sun would look like from the various planets, i.e Mercury, Venus, based on scientific measurements. So you could look at those and get an idea of how close he was, if the sun appeared bigger than it did in the view from Mercury than he was closer than Mercury.

I agree with that in principle, but not at the expense of logic. For the scene to make a lick of sense we have to take it from the sphinx's perspective. If not, soooo many things fall apart. He's still shouting no as the transformation takes place the moment the gem hits the sun. That would significant that the two things are happening concurrently. Nova arrives back from space and says "yes". Which means that he heard him. In my eyes it only makes sense if Nova returned in time to hear the nooo as it was fading out as the transformation was completed.

CosmicComet
The 9 seconds is on the way there. Not on the way back.

The way back would have been faster, as I said. I believe I said 1 or 2 seconds.

dmills
Here's the scene

http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc513/dmills31/gifs/2011-04-07143719-smaller.jpg

In the third panel Rider is flying off with the stone and we see the Sphinx; Mouth agape, arm streched out to grab at Nova while yelling no! Note that you also see the power surge in his eyes. In the 5th panel he's mouth is still agape yelling noooo! even as the stone is hurled into the sun and the transformations clearly begins.

http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc513/dmills31/gifs/2011-04-07144008-smaller.jpg

Now continued in the second page Nova is back and says "yes". Notice that the sphinx is still in the exact same position, mouth still agape in horror? The power surge in his eyes is even still present which indicates to me that the transformation was relatively fast. Perhaps nigh instantaneous as if being frozen in place.

Looking at that sequence there's no way that it was meant to depict any significant passage of time. Not even 11 seconds. It's a scene meant to be depicted concurrently imo.

First of all, As fast as Nova is, he is barely out of arm's reach of the Sphinx, when he grabs the stone.

Then, Nova is speaking throughout the panels and Sphinx did have time to drop his arm and change his body posture.

And, it seems like Sphinx petrified as soon as the stone hit the sun. That is why he is still in that pose. Not because of Nova's speed. There is no telling how long he was frozen there.

There is just no way to put an actual speed value on the feat. For all we know, Spinx could have gone and gotten a couple hamburgers and was eating by the time Nova returned.

It's a tough call.

There's no leap at all and honestly I'm surprised that this is even debatable. It literally is the only way to have a logically consistent grasp of the scene. Your only other options are

A) The sphinx stood there staring at the sky in the same position yelling or whatever until Nova reached the sun.

B) He left, Got a hamburger, stick out tongue and then returned to the same spot a few hours later and resumed yelling once Nova got to the sun.

C) I can't even think of another tbh lol. Maybe it was not nigh instantaneous. A few moments went by etc.

Sorry man but It's not really a tough call at all imo.
