Full capacity Firestorm triggers big bang

Stoic
The Surfer can actually outpace the destruction of entire realities.

Senor Cage
FS is capable of winning.

If firestorm still has the restriction on transmuting organic matter than Suffer should take it comfortably. If not it can go either way and becomes a question of who transmuts who first.

Thought this was Firelord vs Surfer... but okay it's Firestorm not as familiar with him.

Could be kind of an interesting fight. But yes if FS can't directly affect Surfer because of his limitations then Surfer has a major advantage in that area, though he doesn't often use his MM powers offensively. Surfer I think has the better straight up firepower in terms of blasts etc.

Trying to remember any good matter manipulators vs Surfer. That Avengers issue with Molecule Man vs Surfer comes to mind.

It never has to come down to a contest of matter manipulation though. There is a very large gap in speed between these two.

that's in respond to Basilik Abhi, a better example to organic matter manipulation and no Surfer is by far better matter manipulator than Firestorm. fact

Surfer's also just a far faster matter manipulator.

The keyword is shared feat. Firestorm once made the sun and Earth tremble by simply colliding with Brimstone, that doesn't mean he could simply oneshot him.

Meh, one feat is hardly enough to say something like that. Firestorm can transmute energy blasts mid flight, Surfer is hardly faster than that.

Cable and Surfer vaporized a populated island at an atomic level and instantaneously reversed the explosions and damage. Then they did the same thing to the pacific fleet. While fighting each other.

No need to lowball Surfer's speed.

I wasn't sure what it being a shared feat had to do with anything. They were both reforming everything instantaneously, so unless Cable was lending Surfer speed, Surfer was doing his reforming on his own steam.

They approach the US fleet in the second scan. They hit it in the third scan.

But in the first scan, they are vaporizing an island and reassembling it (per the dialogue - give it a read). Tell me: which island is that?

DarkSaint85
I mean, the point here is Surfer's speed at matter manipulation.

He could be doing it to an island, a ship, hell,how about a group of guys.....main point is that it's still pretty fast. And I haven't seen Firestorm do anything on that scale.

Even if it is a shared feat, which.....means what, I don't know, but Abhi made a point of it.

Ooooo a Firestorm flame fest! shifty Firestorm can do the usual speed feets of transmuting falling buildings, trapping flying foes etc. But nothing on that speed level. Truth is Surfer is a beast, I still believe Superman has the tools to beat him but most other heroes don't. His highs are literally biblical giving life to a machine and bringing a deer back from the dead ala Starman the film. If Norrin did not change personalities faster than Wendell Crum and wasn't for a Scientist what Goku is for MENSA he could beat almost any other hero in moments.

"Flying over--no, wait--flying through Providence"

"Casualties?"

"None."

"How--all that power they're spitting out--?"

"I--well, it seems--they're vaporizing everything around them, sir--and putting it back together again at the same time!"

Emphasis in original. So, like I've been saying... they were vaporizing a populated island and instantaneously reversing the explosions and damage, as if it never happened. Then they did the same thing to the US pacific fleet.

Anyhow, so they pass through the Providence vaporizing everything around them with a pretty big radius from what's seen, then they use their matter manipulation to put it back together. Since abhi is caught up in semantics this doesn't seem to go anywhere, and Galan doesn't care about Firestorm anymore, I figured I'd post something here, too.

Firestorm stops a large bomb after it's detonated by thinking fast and transmutates the energy/blast radius to save people caught in it

Similarly a large-scale, on-the-fly, matter + energy manip feat - but I think it demonstrates the difference in speed between the two characters. Captain Atom and FS worked together to contain the blast area to the swamp, saving Atom's friends who were seemingly just outside the swamp (per the dialogue on the first and last page).

Cable and SS actually destroyed buildings and ships with people inside them and instantly reversed the damage leaving no casualties. And, they did it while fighting each other, so presumably pretty distracted.

Finally, FS notes that he had to think fast to turn the explosion into snow. In comparison, SS didn't just reflexively think of a random object to turn the explosions into, but instead (working with Cable) put the fleet and buildings back together again at an atomic level (per Cable's dialogue).

They're similar enough feats for comparison's sake, but SS's implies a much higher degree of super speed, imo Yeah it does, Firestorm has done a few explosion to Roses type shit before but nothing with the complexity of the Cable and Surfer feat which is on a par with Supes and the moon because these are living bloody people being restored.

It's the image of Surfer and Cable going through the ship that sways me. Except for the explosion, it looks as though they phase through the thing. So the "sundering it at the atomic level and putting it back together again" happens all at the same time in that one panel /shrug

So the "sundering it at the atomic level and putting it back together again" happens all at the same time in that one panel /shrug It's hard to tell, I'd lean towards them going through it, trashing it as debris explodes , and then it being 'reversed' as they put the pieces back. Either way, I don't think this is a quickdraw or anything, even if I think Firestorm would be first - I just wanted to put something for Firestorm here, since....well, yeah. That type of thread.

It's actually really interesting to compare their matter manipulation abilities . Firestorm has more blunt matter manipulation while Surfer has more expertise . Helps that one has cosmic awareness while the other is based, many times, on high school chemistry classes.

Agree with Phil. CA makes surfer more verse in higher end matter manipulation which FS lacks.

Like this for example.

It's simply matter of willing something to happen and having the power to implement it, no matter how complex.

Firestorm has recreated a person from glass by using matter manipulation and wanting it really hard:

Poof. Magic.

Where something like cosmic awareness helps is in, for example, receiving the knowledge regarding the problem/issue at hand, and then you just will it into existence using matter manipulation. Its usefulness in matches like this is dubious , but it's a cool thing to have for general comic book-y situations.

Though the 'poof, it's magic' aspect of matter manipulation bypasses knowledge most of the time and if they want visualize something hard enough it happens -- but there's certainly an implicit difference in versatility when the universe essentially gives you the knowledge of how certain things work and you then will them to work like you're told.

*snip*

Surfer has been shown to have limits regarding matter manipulation, Firestorm has never been shown with a limit. He certainly has limits, and they've been shown time and time again, regarding both power usage and versatility usage. There's some things that are beyond him. I mean, he can heal people's injuries but he cannot bring them back after they're deadly damaged:

https://i.ibb.co/KjNcKm9/RCO010.jpg https://i.ibb.co/pnKkQMN/RCO015.jpg https://i.ibb.co/D7LdCvg/RCO016.jpg https://i.ibb.co/VHqD988/RCO017.jpg

etc.

But I don't think it's a matter of whether or not one can beat the other -- they both have various options, it's a matter of what they'd each do, when, then how they'd react to what the other does, etc.

Options can, of course, be analyzed in a vacuum. Since you brought up Molecule Man, he was quickly using up power transmutating dirt and then was drained to near death by being immersed in it with stopped molecular movement:

https://i.ibb.co/G9K2JTL/YBd1-y-Onr-Rf6g-Q9-Hk-Qd-AYGo-EDkz1-BNe3-Skg-hkp-EZb-E1-B5-BFLSLZu-L24abzu8z-USs-Nxi-TLGp2-O2-FKVJTq.jpghttps://i.ibb.co/wNzbrZn/Jd-W6-V3x-Ww-TD7afic-QAy-Wwac-SRTj-Cme-AHHBV7e5yb5-Fr-Ww-TQj45-VOJJWe-Xqpecs-Xz2k-ELnk-RBjc8spce-V4.jpg

Which is exactly what Firestorm has already done, to Killer Frost -- drain her by surrounding her in stopped molecular movement:

https://i.ibb.co/9p1jDX3/uED5zuo.jpg https://i.ibb.co/171VGrk/vXWO2xx.jpg

Given Surfer's history, pushing him until he runs out of power, or directly draining him could be a tactic Firestorm uses. Direct transmutation is tricky -- you'd have to go into the properties of Surfer's skin and stuff .

I'd give Surfer a slight majority due to parity on most abilities . The board could also be useful as a second combatant, assuming they nullify each other's energy abilities. It can be countered with phasing, of course, on Firestorm's part. Or destroyed but, then, it can also be reformed. It's a ***-for-tat since they're the Spiderman meme, is what I'm essentially getting at at, and I think Surfer's experience with his powers trumps Firestorm's young hosts.

Firestorm is a frat boy in a Ferrari, while Surfer is a good driver in a BMW, imo.

abhilegend
Yeah, Surfer fans like to think he's a walking No Limit Fallacy and has never been shown to have limits.

I would take Surfer for a slight majority too. But to say he's flat out better matter manipulator than ****ing Firestorm? Dude, even Ronan is better than Surfer lol.

Reality manipulation > matter manipulation.
Lolwut?

Range=/=power. Not to mention Surfer has been transmuted himself.

intact he was able to reverse the process he did to them but in pieces he couldn't put them back hence the limitation.

You do know that's Surfer version 2.0 right, that just shows you the extent of his power and like I said his character developed over the years that now his able to fight off reality manipulation and not once but a couple of times.

/\/\/\ that was the past and this is the present.

both have limits but at the end of it all Surfer just has a much more higher end feat.

Surfers got the range and the power.

What are you blabbering about?

First scan is from SS v4? What's even happened there?

Surfer overcame reality manipulation? Good for him, how does it matter for transmutation?

The last part is vastly overlooked.

The thread has Ronnie and Jason as a composite. No Martin Stein, no Gehenna. We're essentially dealing with a Carver High School alumnus here. So what are Jason/Ronnie's best matter transmutation feats? Are they better or worse than Jason/Stein's?

Because I think we all agree that with current versions, the Jason/Stein Firestorm cannot affect anything organic unless they have prep and concentration. It's even worse when they're distracted or in a fight.

While despite Surfer's varying/conflicting matter manipulation feats, Surfer can affect organic matter whether or not he has prep or concentration, even during a knock down, drag out fight with a peer opposing him.

So, is the Jason/Ronnie composite superior to the Jason/Stein composite?

Ohh and I never said surfer has reality manipulation powers or can manipulate reality, what I said was his matter manipulation is borders that shown via when he took himself out of 616 universe.

But what stops the Surfer from sending his board speeding towards Firestorm at multiple times the speed of light cutting him in two? Is there anything that would nullify this from happening?

but in the flash vs thor thread odg said it has to happen in comics for it to count

even though it's cis off full capacity

or do marvel fans just pick and choose whatever suit their agenda?

but sure, is that the standard we're all settled on? in a cis off, full capacity thread, behaviour should still reflect the comics? jockey

that's what odg said in the wally vs cosmic thor thread

im just making a little snarky comment

don't take it to heart

I agree with you in this argument, in cis off full capacity battles we value powersets>>>feats

and I actually think ODG is mostly right, but I just want a consistent standard.

That's a lot asking from ODG.

See, I think CIS off, full capacity still has their characters intact.

For example, say Flash Vs Thor. It is fully within his capacity to run over to Thor and literally bite his face off and start eating chunks of his head in front of Thor, at super speed.

Is it CIS off? Yes.

Is it full capacity? Yes.

Is it in character? Hells no!

Now, if you then turn character off, sure. But character is still on. Wally won't fight like a bloodthirsty zombie, even though it's well within his power set to do so.

There needs to be some leeway, though. We've never seen Superman lift a 100 ton pencil in a comic but that doesn't mean he can't.

i was under the assumption character is off when cis is off

we are purely debating power sets, power levels

I agree but that's an easy example because nobody's arguing that Flash will start chomping.

The tension occurs when an optimal strategy (full capacity) isn't supported by showings (in character).

Yeah, so I always think turning CIS isn't a good idea when making VSthreads, since it tends to blur the boundary between no-limits fallacy and in character

Depends what you think their character is like.

Would Flash attempt to headbutt someone at lightspeed? We have no comics to suggest he has ever done so, but it's not out of the realms of possibility to say he would.

Would he bite his opponent's nose off at lightspeed? Also no comics to suggest so, but in character, he's more likely (like, 99%) to attempt headbutting, if he's trapped in a bear hug against a strong opponent. Or he could try a speed steal lol.

Stoic is talking about using his board to slice a teenage kid up. I argue that's out of character, CIS or no. Just as Superman won't attempt a nut shot, or WW won't attempt to castrate her opponent with her sword, or Batman won't shove C4 in his opponent's mouth, or .....you get the point.

we are purely debating power sets, power levels I don't think there's consensus here on KMC that is what is meant by "CIS off." But it's your thread. So maybe ask the mods permission to edit the OP and turn this into a forum avatar battle that disregards these character's personalities entirely and is only about their powersets.

Which is a little weird.. given that you identified which of Firestorm's personalities are manifesting here.
