this is not an out and out stomp. astro force aside, Nova is not a lightweight anymore. he has the entirety of the nova force at his discretion. at his best, he can eff with ure gravity like no one's business. his physical and energy damage soak is off the charts. a forum fight Nova can be tough to beat because of his grav based powers. he can also absorb energy and redirect it back at his opponents.
Gravity? Orion can control all the fundamental forces in the universe. And has way more experiencing in controlling energy and many tpes/formes of energy. See when he matched and contained energy destroying energies. Oblivion bomb.
Definitely not, but he's routinely up against forces and foes who have the ability to summon the gravity of 'galaxies' enough to casually stop even Superman in his tracks. Even Apokolips' normal forces have gravity altering devices. Pretty common stuff.
all im saying is that its not an out and out stomp like some folks believe. NP has shown enough he belongs in the big leagues. he has also shown he can "rise" to the occasion when forced to do so like going up against Sphinx with 2 Ka stones and killing Annihilus.
Eh, different strokes. I think it's the same out and out stomp that it was when the Surfer went up against Nova -- ie, Nova had zero chance against him. That's what I expect here, for him to get utterly handled. Because I see the two of them as roughly on par.
And the whole 'rising the occasion' is a standard trope of every hero ever. It's just the way these things work. I could name a half dozen for probably every major character around.
Not saying it isn't to be taken into account, but that hardly is something unique, you know?
