Hal Jordan vs Silver Surfer (Revisited)

If these two met these days (2021), who would win?

Current versions, no outside amplifications, just who they are on an average day.

In character.

No BFR.

Battlefield: Outer Space.

Opinions?

Hal has been getting the Superman treatment the past few years

He is not a regular GL officer anymore. He isn’t just another GL from earth like Kyle or Guy. It’s been made very clear that he is superior

He is the source of will force. Kyle could not contain Hal’s ring without damaging a planet.


Hal should be in 8/10

Have you read any of the Surfer's recent showings?

Surfer is completely intangible now, unless one has soul/mystical attacks (Boy Thing, or Ghost Rider). Would be interesting to see how Knull deals with him.

OTOH, his PC is a lot more limited now ,and he can only blast.

Did you read the latest Fantastic 4 issue? What did you think of his showing if you did?

I did, and I also read the preceding issues.

You're leaping to a false conclusion - that because she atomised MM and is a fundamental embodiment etc etc, that she can destroy heralds and metas etc with a flick of a finger. As Reed says, he is certain their allies would be able to hold out for a while.

Which is precisely what Surfer did.

The correct wording here is that Griever is used to fighting much higher, abstract beings. This in no way states that she cant fight lower beings or affect them at all.
Nothing suggesting she is not operating at full power against them. Just having to get used to fighting smaller, less powerful beings.
So still impressive given the Griever's capabilities and SS fighting and holding her off. Also shits on anything a Lantern, or Superman ever did. 👍

Never said she couldn't fight lower beings. But thanks.

Well how powerful is Griever in your opinion?

Incredibly powerful, especially relative to mere heralds/Skyfathers etc. Abstract level, probably.

So then, this is a highend feat for the Surfer, or about par? I ask because Hal had a similar showing against a version of Krona. How would you scale them in terms of feat comparisons? In short, who holds the better feat? More importantly, who do you think would win between these two these days?

I mean...griever was afraid of franklin

but krona was literally chained to a bunch of colored space animals

both are sorry excuse for a cosmic villain

griever probably more powerful but who cares...

It's a feat. By that I mean, I don't see it as the same. Reed clearly lays it out - it's like trying to punch Covid, lol. Doesn't matter that you are almost infinitely stronger/smarter/faster than Covid - you still can't just punch it out of existence.

The Krona example is almost a reverse. There, the Guardians of Oa specifically had several stips on GL rings - no killing, no harming Guardians. On top of that, Krona could manipulate GL energy himself, AND had the Ion entity under his command at the time (IIRC). Hal just overpowered all of that - didn't matter what the stips were.

I don't want to twist your words, but are you implying that Hal is infinitely faster, smarter, stronger than the Surfer? It was the Covid analogy that made me ask.

In retrospect, his battle with Griever may shed a tiny bit of light on exactly what he was dealing with against Knull in terms of Knull's power levels. Please don't read too much into the Knull comparison, as it would likely go lead to off subject topics. The thought just came out of left field.

Krona feat and Griever feat isn't comparable, just the scope...
Griever is an abstract.

(please log in to view the image)

It’s the embodiment of a concept. So what Surfer did was hold off the embodiment of destruction, What Hal did is nowhere comparable.

Oh no no no.

I am saying that just as you and I are infinitely stronger than say, Covid, Griever was stronger/faster/more powerful than Surfer.

That doesn't mean that Surfer stalemating her for 16 minutes means that Surfer is on her level - it just meant she finds fighting beings below her difficult (as Reed says).

In short, it's not really comparable to Hal's, simply because the circumstances are different - Surfer did as well as he did only because he was a lower life form than Griever.

That's not really relevant to Surfer, Surfer was stated to be apart of the cosmos several times. Also, many lower life forms have tried as stated by Griever and SS held her off longer than anyone credited by Griever herself.

That's in the beginning when Griever begins fighting opponents of that calibre.
However, when the Forever Gate storyline begins, Griever is casually backhanding whoever is present, which includes Reed in an anti-matter field that is supposed to be powerful enough to fights off Heralds:

I think the point Alberto is trying to make is that Hal is abstract level and Norrin should be able to hang for a while before being overpowered
