Do you consider Proteus Trans?

If so, he definitely could do more than Surfer...

If so, he definitely could do more than Surfer... I thought about him and in principle he could, but by feats, i dont think he actually has.

SNG is just a hair below versatily-wise

voidtry is the same as proteus, he might be more versatile, but by feats, he is somewhat lacking. Legion sans reality warping is a good candidate but suffers from the same.

has the plutonian already shown that much versatility on panel?

fate and genis-vell are solid I suppose. what puts DCNU CA beyond surfer?

Brockalizer
Legion, Sentry/Void, Jean Grey, Allen Scott

carver9
So these people showed more versatility "on panel" than Surfer?

Damborgson
Thor+Mjolnir will give Surfer a run for his money. Possible enough for the win.

There is no correct answer.

in terms of sheer on panel versatility over time?? i may just agree with kg on this one. thor could be close, but lacks consistent diversity imo. ss has done pretty well everything from time travel to astral projection to tp assaults to high level matter manip, physical power, superspeed....... he's been shown to be able to use almost every type of power at one point or another. about all he's lacking is reality manip and that's hard to come by at this level. i think others have greater versatility in specific areas, (FS can manip matter better probably, nate is more versatile with tp, etc) but i can't really think of anyone across the board more versatile. certainly not with the showings over time. even mages only use a single powerset--magic. the effects can be wide ranging, but sheer displayed versatility of powers? ss is extremely hard to beat.....

leonidas
fair enough. it is a single power source, akin to magic in that sense i suppose. his version of it is just far more wide ranging than the pc of the other heralds.

753
yeah, he is a tiny galactus. the others just got a few thematic powers matching their designs. I always thought the in-universe cause of this was rooted in norrin's history and personality: the dreamer/ astrophyscist/explorer/martyr schtick.

Branlor Swift
Comparable, or better:

Loki, Zatanna, Strange, Daredevil, Thor, Firestorm, Iron Man if you factor in every single different suit... not individual however.

Not sure if Zatanna, Loki have as wide ranging of feats, but they should be easily comparable

Thor as well, but he'd be a lot better if he wasn't such a doofus at times. Though this goes for Surfer as well...

^daredevil?

Doom

Oh sorry. It just seemed like the right answer.

That's true. I'd like to compare and see who can list off the most feats. Thor's got some pretty abstract shit going on for him too.
