don't forget hercules took a full cosmic blast from nova and it didn't affect him. it took 2 close range full blast from kovac to bring hercules to the ground. i don't think human torch possesses that kind of power. hercules 8-9/10.
Yeah Herc should win. The only problem he will have is getting his hands on Johnny. He could throw some junk at him and probably bring him down though. If he manages to touch him it is over.
Torch can't win through any single shot technique, but he may be able to cook Herc over a longer period of intense heat (kinda like what he did to She-Hulk in CoC II)
^ Pretty cool what he does but then he has to top it off with some lame ass comment. In light of new evidence. This tactic should def work especially since it only took a bit of time. Even if the heastroke thing doesn't work and HErc is just really weak. Johnny could go super nova to a weakened herc and kill him. Theory anyone agree?
Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
johnny is certainly capable of winning. he could dehyrdate herc, nova-blast, superheat the air so that herc can't breathe it, cumulative damage could add up and weaken herc to the point where he eventually falls, he could spin around him to create a vacuum . . .
all these things are poossible. problem is he needs to be very careful. herc only needs a glancing blow to kill him. he doesn't shockwave often but he CAN shockwave to snuff out the flame and his throwing skill is exceptional. it wouldn't be easy for either one.
