Also, can anyone educate me on Orion. Not being a dick, but everyone mentions the Astro Force/Motherbox but all I ever see from him is punching things or shooting from his little scooter.

For the life of me I can't understand why the Flashes (Wally/Barry) are so highly regarded on these boards.

Against opponents not named Zoom, they rarely contribute much, and equally rarely display HH abilities.

Wally and Barry have to be the overall weakest in reality, not necessarily powerset of any characters mentioned here.

You take that back. Wally's a national treasure. sneer

Indeed. The Flashes are must have the same chronic flu Manhunter carries.

Take one or two feats and generalise them. You got flashes.

Flash suffers from the no limit fallacy syndrome based on the power source.

He is powerful in my book, just not that powerful.

He can be touched by people who can calculate trajectories, move fast or that just plain and simple beings that defy comic logic.

They're the CIS off herald kings in these boards.

Look at how well Wally handled Supergirl when he was holding back and she was trying to kill him.

No; Wally hasn't appeared since the reboot.

It wasn't really intended on being in any order outside of the order they popped into my head.

Orion with the Astro Force has wrecked planets and has nearly destroyed Earth without targeting it directly. He also once KO'd a younger Superman without trying too hard.

Orion fights are amazing but his lifting fts are terrible. Every time he has been put into a situation where he has to lift something, he has failed and not enormous items either, I'm talking about items that Thing or Colossus could toss with one hand.

JakeTheBank
Lifting/pushing/pulling feats mean jackshit ultimately. They're nice and it helps to quantify exactly how much weight a character can move in a specific instance, but it doesn't equate into said character faring well in combat feats.

Doomsday and Darkseid have very little in the way of lifting/pushing/moving feats, unlike J'onn who's helped a couple of times on that front. And there's no doubt that either one of them would beat the shit out of J'onn.

True, but you can take someone far more consistent and overall less prone to jobbing like Wonder Woman, who has plenty of shared lifting feats and still know that in spite of Doomsday or Darkseid not having those feats or even better ones, in a fight, she'd get worked.

I agree...I would rank Orion as one of the head honchos but his lifting fts does suck. I wouldn't relly on him to move a mountain if one was about to fall on a city.

I already discussed this with Galan and I agreed with him...lifting fts doesn't weigh a character.

It's funny because even in the JL/JLU series, outside of a few episodes centered around him, he's always getting his ass kicked or probing someone's mind and spazzing out.

I know but its pointless for me to bring it up because it doesn't matter.

I just don't remember any off of my head. He might have some, but not many. I remember he lifted a huge rock in Simonson's run.

Hey, be fair to J'onn; the weight of Superman's shadow is quite a heavy load to bear.

He isn't an interstellar dweller, so there are very few durability feats that involve "cosmic events", hurling of cosmic bodies or constant blasting of planet-destroying power.

He isn't a "sorcerer type", so there are very few feats that involve the stereotypical, other-dimensional hurling of planets and huge blasts of fiery and magical energies at each other.

Guys that cruise around in space, or other dimensions, who can indiscriminately destroy worlds, sometimes stars, negotiating black holes and all manner of other celestial threats, rarely need to, or care to "lift" anything.

"Grounded" characters, regardless of their power levels, are stuck with certain feats, otherwise they jeopardize the worlds they are stuck on.

So, for Hulk, a guy that is usually, (up until recently) stuck on-planet, the lifting feats will still be important.

To a GL, or Silver Surfer, hmmmmm... not so much. But, it sure doesn't mean that they couldn't create some monstrous feats if that was what the story called for.

On the flip side and to give credit where credit is due, I am sure the Hulk is just a writer's pen stroke away from being able to hurl devastating waves of Gamma Energy, or fly by Gamma Propulsion as part of a permanent power-set. He has it in him, somewhere.

Just as the space and magic-faring Heralds have the lifting feats in them, if tapped.

That's what J'onn does outside of Trial By Fire and Ghosts of Mars storylines.

Rao Kal El
Vs feats are also bad, because of the jobbing and introductory shock value of new characters.

Think blue bettle getting tossed by doomsday.

Killer crock should shit all over batman.

And so on.

If any, lifting/speed/energy or those type of physical feats are usually given to those characters who can withstand them. That is why we will never see Batman surviving a planet buster, but He could survive Solomon Grundy.

Imo, have to balance them out. If the character has the physical feats ill go for that, if he does not then i use the vs to gauge. What his physical limits could be.
