Telepathy and soul exploitation both will work. He has no defense against either considering the fact that nobody in the Watchmanverse has those abiltiies. Surfer wins 10/10
lol at the soul part. Watchmen is part of the DC multiverse and they literally have a funeral mentioning God in an issue.
Also lol at the only reason h1 ever supports or doesn't support Surfer is because of Thanos. Because telepathy a power Surfer uses a lot means he should beat Thanos with other powers. Thanos Thanos Thanos.
1) I already posted the rule in question. If he is alive and has a mind, he has anima. "Powers work as in native universe" rule applies.
2) Since Watchmen happened in DC wouldn't they be subjected to the same multiversal rules? Someone who knows DC verse stuff will need to answer this.
It'll work. Unless you have proof other than "cuz I don't want it to."
In a total stalemate fight, eventually, he will use it. DM has no means to hurt/affect the Surfer. Meaning, Surfer has options, DM does not.
Or Surfer can just blast him (and all his copies) into vapor the same way Ozy did. It won't kill/KO him permanently. But just long enough for the 10 second rule to apply as it took him quite a while to reform in the comic.
Thanos has shown defenses against ALL of that. Including formidable Astral Plane "feats" as well vs Galactus IIRC.
Funny thing is, I do remember Thanos losing to the Surfer in an Astral battle in Infinity Guantlet IIRC.
No, doesn't count. It has to be from Watchmen only, and it has to be a panel where Manhattan says, 'Branlor, I have a soul, and the Silver Surfer may attack it, and will win'. Only then will h1 be appeased.
That's not Watchmen at all. It's just another story that had nothing to do with Watchmen. A totally different multiverse.
Human's mentioning God in a conversation does not mean God exists. Just like you or me mentioning God doesn't mean he exists.
There is no proof that Watchmen is part of the DC multiverse. We know that DC has similar versions of the Watchmen characters in Earth 4 (Captain Allen Atom instead of Doctor Manhattan).
The whole story of Watchmen gave the intentions that God didn't exist and DM became God or a god at the end.
I said, neither will work BECAUSE DM doesn't have a soul. No one does in Watchmen.
A soul is like a spirit or ghost created by a divine being. Without a soul then telepathy is reduced to nothing but matter manipulation of the brain, or one manipulating the brain signals and impulses to achieve a result. If that's the case then it definitely won't work since DM is in control of his whole being. He can even become intangible.
In comics, telepathy is manipulating of the mind which is tied to the soul. That's like saying Dr. Xavier can mindrape a sentient robot.
You haven't shown the watchmen universe to have souls. You showed a scan of something that wasn't in the watchmen universe. It was in the same book but a different story altogether from another universe.
Anyway, none of that stuff would work on DM. DM has control of his entire being and can reform at will over and over again. He can multiply, grow, and become intangible (untouchable).
And yes, Surfer's tp is limited. The opposite of limited is unlimited. Surfer made the world full of peace. That's not showing he can win a fight against DM. That doesn't mean he can put DM to sleep or kill him. Peace and sleep are apparently two different things.
With the scan you showed Surfer would wtf stomp Thanos easily.
