Hello True Believers,

Since Christmas is just 10 days away, I've decided to treat you guys to an early Christmas gift.

Today's matchup is:

                                                                      

Lobo, the Main Man from DC Comics versus the Mad Titan himself from Marvel Comics, Thanos.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!

 

Lobo

Real Name: Unpronounceable

First Appearance: Omega Men Vol. 1 #3 (June, 1983)

Origin: Lobo, whose name comes from a Khund dialect  and means "one who devours your entrails and thoroughly enjoys it," is the last of his people for one reason: he killed them all. He hailed from the planet Czarnia which was a virtual paradise that knew nothing of war and the Czarnians were almost immortal. When Lobo was born, his evil was so frighteningly apparent, the nurse who delivered him went insane and became the planet's first mental patient in ten millennia after the infant Lobo chewed off four of her fingers. Lobo knew he was one of a kind, but he wanted even more. Inspired by the idea of genocide, Lobo created a swarm of lethal scorpion-like creatures, he set them on his people wiping out his entire species but himself. He claimed it was a science project and gave himself an 'A'.  Since then he has traveled the galaxies collecting bounties. Despite his ruthless nature, Lobo has a strict code of honor when it comes to these agreements. Along the way he has met and battled a number of superheroes. 

Here are his powers, abilities, skills, and weapons:

Powers

• Czarnian Physiology: It is said that Czarnians can only be truly killed by other Czarnians (though this does not matter to Lobo either way, as he cannot die by any means). Lobo can survive unaided in the vacuum of space.
  • Vast Superhuman Strength: Lobo possesses vast amounts of superhuman strength, he can easily punch through most earthly and alien materials, as he showed enough strength to break Deathstroke's Nth Metal armor, rip human beings to pieces with his bare hands, and during the years he has exchanged blows with the likes of Superman and Devastator.  As a matter of fact, Lobo has shown strength sufficient enough to knock out Superman with his blows without too much apparent effort.  He has even shown enough strength to destroy entire planets.  Lobo has been shown to be on par with Superman in terms of strength.  
    • Super-Leaping
  • Superhuman Stamina: He possesses inexhaustible stamina and in most interpretations cannot tire.
  • Superhuman Senses
    • Enhanced Sense of Smell
  • Immortality: Lobo is functionally immortal and cannot die no matter what happens. He is immune to the effects of aging and disease and has been banned from entering either Heaven or Hell.
  • Invulnerability: He has shrugged off blows from the likes of Superman with no damage, taken planet-destroying attacks without so much as a scratch, and he possesses some resistance against most magic spells and attacks.
  • Superhuman Speed: Lobo possesses the ability to sharpen his awareness and increase his temporal flow, appearing to move faster than humanly possible. He can move at incredible speeds.
  • Self-Sustenance: Lobo does not need any food, water, air, or sleep and he can survive in the vacuum of space without any harm.
  • Regeneration:  If Lobo does somehow sustain an injury, his accelerated healing enables him to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue instantly, with little apparent pain. He will apparently heal from any injury. For instance, he has survived having his head blown off by Batman, with his head fully healing in minutes.  Lobo can also regenerate out of a pool of his own blood, apparently recycling the cells instantly.
  • Bio-Fission: If Lobo spills even a drop of blood, that drop can become a completely new Lobo.  This ability was later removed by Vril Dox but since then it appears to have been restored.
  • Thermal Immunity: According to Lobo's own words, he "ride through the cold of space and the heat of blazing suns".  Once he withstood a flaming attack which killed dozens of Thunderers of Qward around him.
  • Toxic Immunity: Lobo has become completely invulnerable to the poison of his flying scorpions.
• Possession: Due to Lobo being banned from the afterlife, if Lobo's body dies his spirit may wonder the earth. With this he can possess other beings, and even repossess his own body, no matter what state it's in.

Abilities

• Genius Level Intellect: As unbelievable as it may seem, despite his violent and loutish nature, Lobo seems to have a genius-level intellect in matters of destruction and violence. He can create complex virulent agents and the necessary antidotes to them such as the one he let loose on Czarnia, resulting in the deaths of the entire population in the span of one week. He was also able to scavenge parts from a destroyed time hopper and attach them to his own bike, producing a working time machine.
  • Mechanical Aptitude
• Tracking: The tracking ability allows him to trace any prey across even the Universe.
• Multilingualism: By his own account, Lobo can speak 17,897 different languages from across the galaxy.
  • Morse Code: Lobo can communicate in Morse Code
• Expert Combatant: Lobo is a proficient hand-to-hand combatant, being able to hold his own against such accomplished fighters as Superman, Batman, Aquaman, and Etrigan.
• Marksmanship: When someone yelled that Lobo was shooting and going crazy, Jonas Glim stated that every shot is carefully place with Lobo. Lobo then proves this by shooting down a weight to crush the man that insulted him. This feat is even more impressive when you add the fact that Lobo was using a full auto firearm when he did this.
• Indomitable Will: According to Lobo's own words, a power ring is powered by willpower, and no one has more willpower than himself. He once used his own willpower in conjunction with his fabulous strength to break a force field created by G'nort.

Weapons

• Chained Hook: Though he employs a wide arsenal of firearms, explosives and blades, Lobo's signature weapon is a large hook on a chain. Aside from use as a weapon, he also uses it to tie up opponents or drag them behind his bike.
• "Frag" grenades
• Lobo has already been shown carrying countless other weapons, as a laser weapon[52], a large knife, and even a guilt grenade

 

Thanos

Real Name: Thanos

First Appearance: Iron Man Vol. 1 #55 (October, 1972)

Backstory: Thanos was one of the last sons of A'Lars, progenitor of the second colony of Eternals on Titan, and Sui-San, the last survivor of the original settlement of Eternals in this moon. He was born with purple, hide-like skin and a massive body due to his Deviant Syndrome. The very first time his mother laid her eyes on the baby, she was driven mad and tried to kill him.  After that, the Cosmic Ghost Rider from an alternate future came to kill the baby, but when the Penance Stare didn't work on Thanos, the Rider decided to take the baby under his wing and change the future.  he Rider tried to convince Galactus to help him raise the baby, but the cosmic being refused and instead wanted to kill the baby himself. With the Watcher bearing witness, the Rider vowed to raise the baby on his own, creating an alternate timeline where Thanos grew to become an interplanetary dictator. he Guardians of the Galaxy of said timeline tried to prevent their future by stopping Frank, but he, and eventually baby Thanos, killed them all. They were subsequently greeted by Thanos' future self, who sported the same clothes Frank used as the Punisher. He brought both of them to his future, showing Frank the authoritarian world he had built on his example, including a past version of himself living with his wife Maria.  Realizing the consequences of his intervention in his life, Frank killed the future Thanos and returned his baby self to the past, erasing the alternate timeline. Death appeared before Frank to confirm that his actions had nonetheless instilled the baby Thanos with the bloodlust that would make him her agent. Thanos grew up to have an introvert nature, but despite this and his unusual appearance, Thanos was well accepted by his peers. He was a mild-mannered intellectual that dreamed of becoming a scientist like his neglectful father. However, signs of his true nature started to creep up early on. For instance, he liked to draw dead animals despite vomiting at the prospect of performing a dissection. Thanos' life reached a tipping point when a mysterious girl convinced him to explore with his friends a dangerous cave to overcome his fear of killing. A cave-in separated Thanos from his friends for three days, during which he refused to even think of murdering the inoffensive creatures that lurked underground for sustenance. When he found his friends, they had been killed by the animals living in the caves. After Thanos returned to society, the same girl convinced him to go back to the cave and slaughter the critters in revenge.

By the time he was a teenager, Thanos excelled academically and learned faster than he was ever taught. He began to vivisect creatures in secret in order to gain knowledge while searching for an answer to his abnormal genetic makeup. The girl that had helped him overcome his fear of killing became his confidante. Thanos' search for answers escalated into killing fellow Titanians, carrying out the first murders in the history of Titan. Despite declaring that his first two murders were going to be the last, Thanos eventually killed again, and found out that he enjoyed it. Thanos fell in love with his confidante, who enabled and further motivated and Thanos' actions, but she rejected his advances. After murdering seventeen people in total, Thanos killed his mother in hopes of finding in her body the key to who he was, both spiritually and physically.  At some point, Mephisto approached Thanos and convinced him to go to Earth and fight the Prehistoric Avengers.  He left Titan afterwards, swore off killing, and found a menial job with a pirate crew with whom he explored the cosmos. As years went by, Thanos became detached and unemotional. In many different planets, he would find a partner and mate with them in hopes to feel something again, to no avail. He always abandoned them and the babies they bore him. Thanos eventually came into conflict with his captain in the pirate crew due to his disinclination for murdering. In an act of complete instinct, Thanos slaughtered him, and subsequently seized control of his crew.  Thanos decided to embrace his murdering nature and returned to Titan in secret. He was approached by his old confidante and tried to court her again. She demanded that Thanos proved he belonged only to her, so he embarked on a journey to kill all of his offspring and razed every planet they stumbled upon for the sake of his love for death. Additionally, Thanos experimented on his own body, granting himself a variety of powers. Thanos' confidante became his companion, and eventually declared that for her to love Thanos, he would have to become a god, a supreme destroyer above all else. After Thanos discovered that none in his crew could see her, she revealed her true nature, that she was the physical manifestation of Death itself. Driven mad by this revelation, Thanos gave in to Death's promises of romance and used his fleet to ravage Titan.  Once his armada bombarded Titan, Thanos personally descended to murder the survivors. He was confronted by the elder A'Lars, who managed to make Thanos doubt whether Death was actually by his side or if he was simply demented. Thanos spared his father solely so he could watch his son defile the cosmos and prove his sanity. Death finally kissed Thanos, but he found her embrace to be cold. Without his thirst quenched, Thanos continued his journey of destruction.  

Here are his powers, abilities, and skills:

• Titanian Eternal Physiology: By far the strongest and most powerful Eternal from Titan, Thanos is a superhuman mutant whose massive, heavy-bodied form was born with the capacity to synthesize cosmic energy for certain personal uses. The mad titan has increased his powers through bionic amplification, mystical enhancement and as a result of being resurrected by Death itself. He was deemed a Category 1 Life Ender by the Nova Corps, to have an "universal" threat level and to have been a one-time reality ender.  Being seemingly categorized as a Cosmic-level threat, being sent by the Shi'ar Imperial Guard to the core cell of a galactic gulag.
  • Godlike Strength: Thanos possesses vast superhuman strength the full limits of which aren't known. Death has increased his strength beyond their original limits to levels rivaling or surpassing those of the physically strongest Eternals. He has proven capable of fighting Thor even when he had the Power Gem. His strength is so vast that he has been able to defeat the likes of the Silver Surfer, punch away an attacking Hulk,  physically subduing with ease Beta Ray Bill and Ronan the Accuser (as well as casually breaking apart the latter's Universal Weapon), and, most impressively, wrestle with the mighty Tyrant, although only by being additionally empowered by an external power source. He was also able to beat in melee fight the Hulk power-enhanced Annihilus.  Thanos can also augment his strength with his cosmic energy when needed.  Thanos was also able to lift the Galactus Engine and recover it from the depths of Ego the Living Planet, destroy a planet in a battle with Drax (in his first incarnation), he was even able to fight hand-to-hand with a Phoenix Force empowered Thane with amped with the God Quarry. Thanos punched Thane into the planet they were fighting above and destroyed it by charging through him.
  • Superhuman Agility:  Despite his great size, Thanos' agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. His agility is roughly equal to that of the average Eternal.  He was able to dodge a Power Gem enhanced Champion of the Universe.  
  • Superhuman Reflexes: Thanos' reaction time is enhanced to a level that is beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Like his agility, his reflexes are about average for an Eternal.   
  • Superhuman Stamina: Thanos' musculature produces almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity. As a result, he has nearly superhuman stamina in all physical activities.  
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Before his "death", Thanos possessed an impressive degree of resistance to physical injury, even compared to other Eternals. After his resurrection, Death increased his ability to resist injury to a much greater degree and he is nigh invulnerable. He has withstood at point blank range planet-destroying attacks without any harm. He has withstood blasts from the Silver Surfer unharmed. He withstood a battering from an enraged, Power Gem-wielding Thor with nothing but a bloody nose. He possesses such an incredible resistance to injury that he has been shown to survive point-blank blasts from Odin and Galactus. Thanos has withstood three full screams from Black Bolt, one at point-blank range, without any significant damage.  He survived being subjected to an artificial singularity.  He also withstood being stabbed on the chest by Wolverine's Adamantium claws without exhibiting any discomfort. 
  • Immortality: Thanos, like all Eternals, is immortal in the sense that he is immune to all known diseases and infections and is immune to the effects of aging. Thanos is banned by Death itself from entering its realm, rendering him truly immortal. He is able to die but he will always return, no matter the severity of any injury.
  • Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his extraordinary durability, it is possible to injure Thanos. Like all Eternals, however, Thanos is capable of regenerating damaged tissue with much greater speed and efficiency than a human being. His healing powers aren't as developed as those of some Eternals. Some Eternals are capable of regenerating any destroyed tissue. Given the circumstances of his death at the hands of Drax the Destroyer during the Annihilation event, Thanos is unable to regenerate missing organs, such as a heart.
  • Energy Manipulation & Projection: Thanos has displayed great versatility in the use of his energy projection abilities. He has demonstrated the ability to project pure energy as a concussive force, "magnetic" energy, infrared heat-beams from his eyes, and disruptor beams, unilaterally striking separate targets with his optic blasts, as well as using his mental link to his techno-mystical chair to form vastly powerful energy shields, barriers, and force-fields but proven himself to be able to project some form of shields and barriers on his own.  The exact extent of Thanos' energy projection abilities are unknown, but his blasts have been capable of knocking down the likes of the Hulk, and Thor, and to temporarily defeat four alternate incarnations of the Silver Surfer with a simple casual blast.  He was also able to graze Galactus armor and blast the Devourer of Worlds off his feet and send him across the moon. By collaborating with the In-Betweener they together released the latter from his prison created by Master Order and Lord Chaos. 
  • Telepathy: Thanos possesses strong psionic abilities. His mind is invulnerable to most forms of psychic attack and proven to be immune to mind gem. Thanos has demonstrated the ability to successfully defend himself against psychic assaults from Moondragon, and Mantis.  He also managed to shut down the Maker's mind, turned the Fallen One into his herald, made the Hulk attack his fellow Avengers, and forced Conner Sims (the Anti-Man) to destroy his surroundings.  Thanos also once attempted to destroy the mind of Drax the Destroyer with a powerful psychic attack called the Time-Mind Sync Warp, that plunges the victim's mind into a psychedelic dimension of insanity, causing death or incapacitation.  
  • Matter Manipulation & Control: Thanos has demonstrated some ability to manipulate matter on the atomic level, similarly to Earthborn Eternals. On one occasion, he turned the Skrull Skragg, into stone.  He also used his matter manipulation ability on Moondragon to purge the muscle controlling parasites implanted by Annihilus from her body.
  • Mystic Capabilities: Thanos is skilled in magic, as he has cursed Deadpool with immortality.
  • Flight: Thanos has shown that he is capable of flying.
  • Teleportation: Thanos can teleport himself across unknown distances through his link with his techno-mystical transport chair. Like all Eternals he is also able to teleport on his own. When stranded in space with Terraxia, he could neither fly, nor teleport to his rescue, presumably because his chair got destroyed in the struggle before.

Abilities & Skills

• Super-Genius Intelligence: Possibly Thanos' most dangerous ability is his mind. Thanos' intellect is dedicated to enhancing his own powers and to the annihilation of all life. Thanos is a genius in virtually all known fields of advanced science and has created technology far exceeding contemporary Earth science.  He has also shown to quickly adapt to new battle situations, as shown in his fight with the Champion of the Universe, who outclassed him physically and whom he beat by dancing around him, blasting him with energy attacks and tricking him into destroying the planet they fought on.  Thanos has remarked that, compared to himself, Bruce Banner's intelligence is only great for human standards.  
• Skilled Unarmed Combatant: Although he typically avoids physical combat, Thanos is a highly formidable hand to hand combatant, having been trained in the Arts of War on Titan and having millennia of combat experiences. He is particularly skillful at using a combination of his physical and energy manipulative abilities during combat.  He is also a skilled swordsman, being able to overwhelm a Mjolnir-wielding Silver Surfer.
• Mystical Knowledge: He also has great knowledge of arcane and mystical lore.

Battle Breakdown: Man oh man.  Do we have a crazy epic battle on our hands here or what folks?  We have a fight between two legendary and immortal powerhouses.  IMO, it is going to come down to one of the two underestimating the other.

As always, who do you guys think wins?  Is it Lobo or Thanos?  I hope you guys enjoy this matchup and I'll see you guys next time.  PEACE!!!

Hello True Believers,

Welcome back to Fantasy Fights 2.0.

I hope everyone is enjoying the new year so far.

Anyways, here we go.

Today's matchup is:

                                                       

Captain Marvel (Billy Batson)                             VS.                Terrax the Tamer

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

 

Captain Marvel 

Real Name: William Joseph Batson

First Appearance: Whiz Comics Vol. 1 #2 (February, 1940)

Origin: Billy Batson was born in New York City in 1930. When he was approximately six months old, his parents were killed in a car crash, and Billy went to live with his uncle, Ebenezer Batson.  Uncle Eben wanted nothing to do with the boy, and eventually kicked him out of the house, forcing him to fend for himself on the city streets. By 1940, Billy had managed to secure himself a part-time job as a newsboy.One evening as Billy was hawking newspapers, a strange shadowy man in a long coat approached him. He beckoned Billy to follow him, and led him underground into a dilapidated subway station. A driverless subway car unlike any Billy had ever seen before, roared to the platform and the two got on board. The car sped off deeper underground, bringing them to a vast cavern known as the Rock of Eternity.  Billy disembarked and both the subway train and the cloaked stranger disappeared. Before him Billy saw two rows of statues lining each side of the cavern. Each statue was forged in the likeness of a horrific monster, representing the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man.  At the anterior of the cavern, he found an old man with a flowing white beard sitting on a stone throne. Above him was a large boulder suspended from the ceiling of the cavern by a tiny, fraying thread. The old man introduced himself as a wizard named Shazam, and told Billy that he had been chosen to be his champion against injustice. The wizard lit a brazier to the left of the throne, illuminating the names of six mythological elders inscribed on the wall behind it; Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury. He explained that each of these elders would bestow an aspect of their power unto Billy, and all the boy had to do to acquire such power was to speak the wizard's name.  Billy spoke the name "Shazam", and a bolt of mystic lightning struck down from nowhere transforming the ten-year-old boy into a powerful, muscle-bound man. Shazam christened his new champion as Captain Marvel and saluted him. Moments after the startling transformation, the thread securing the boulder above Shazam's head snapped, and the rock came down, crushing the wizard. Shazam's spirit rose from the debris and told Billy that his ghost would always be present inside the Rock of Eternity, should the neophyte hero ever need his guidance. Honoring his commitment to the wizard, Billy Batson became the World's Mightiest Mortal – Captain Marvel.

Here are his powers and abilities:

Powers

• Living Lightning Empowerment: Billy was granted the power of the Living Lightning by the Wizard, Shazam, containing the distilled aspects of powers bestowed to him by six divine entities from deals brokered by the Wizard himself; these powers are activated by saying the magical word "SHAZAM", in which each letter is the first letter of each god's name combined: Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury. Additionally, he is empowered as a Champion of Magic.
  • Transformation: The Living Lightning transforms Billy Batson into an adult form at his physical and mental peak by verbally saying "SHAZAM".  In order to transform, Billy must say the words with actual intention to transforming.  While transformed, he possess powers from his benefactors:
    • S for the Wisdom of Solomon: Solomon was the third king of united Israel in historical times. According to the Bible God blessed him with supernatural wisdom at his request to lead Israel. Captain Marvel has instant access to a vast amount of knowledge. The wisdom of Solomon is sometimes known as the Wisdom of the Ancients. Captain Marvel has superhuman clairvoyance and awareness. He is provided with counsel and advice in times of need. Captain Marvel has knowledge of all languages, ancient and modern warfare, and can hypnotize or enchant people with his power. The power of wisdom lends him knowledge far beyond mortal comprehension.
      • Superhuman Knowledge:  Captain Marvel has exceptional photographic recall and mental acuity allowing him to read and decipher hieroglyphics, recall everything he has ever learned and solve long mathematical equations. Instantaneously he can make intuitive guesses based on limited data; to the point his guesses are almost always correct; also he has a great understanding of divine phenomenon in the mortal world.
      • Clairvoyance: Captain Marvel possesses an uncanny awareness of his circumstances that allows him to turn disadvantages into advantages.
      • Hypnosis: Through sheer power and magic he can hypnotize people for length of time (undetermined). Only those of great willpower can overcome this ability.
      • Omni-lingual:  He can speak every language known to humans as well as ancient or dead languages and is able to understand aliens.
      • Good Conscious: Marvel always has help from Solomon with making decisions, an example would be when he wanted to divulge the info of his identity to the JSA, Solomon strongly advised against it.
    • H for the Strength of Hercules: Billy is empowered with Hercules' nearly limitless superhuman-strength which is often compared to that of Superman. As such, Captain Marvel's strength is of the highest level and is sufficiently vast enough that it enables him to lift/move unbelievably massive and/or heavy objects possibly on a planetary scale or higher with little effort. Because his strength level is so high and potentially dangerous, Billy Batson constantly uses great restraint, thus he usually only uses as much strength or force as is necessary to accomplish whatever his given task or challenge requires. Because of this he is not often seen moving objects of a planetary scale though accomplishing such tasks are well within his abilities.
      • Superhuman Strength: Captain Marvel has the ability to lift well over 100 tons with minimal effort and has battled top tier beings such as Superman, Wonder Woman and Black Adam. Captain Marvel has stalemated Superman in an arm wrestling contest and has at least matched Wonder Woman in raw strength. The limits, if there actually are any, of Captain Marvel's strength are unknown.
    • A for the Stamina of Atlas: The Titan known as Atlas had limitless endurance. Atlas cradled the Earth for time immemorial. He can overcome tremendous physical resistance. This superhuman ability lends to his ability to stay as Captain Marvel for elongated periods of time, survive in space and fight seemingly endless battles such as his fight with Black Adam.
      • Self-Sustenance: He does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe 
      • Superhuman Stamina: His incredible metabolism endows him with practically infinite endurance and inexhaustible stamina.
    • Z for the Power of Zeus: Zeus was Olympus's high father and the god of magical lightning bolts. Zeus' power, besides fueling the magic thunderbolt that transform Captain Marvel, also enhances Captain Marvel's other physical and magical abilities. This power reinforces his physical invulnerability and resistance against magic spells and attacks. Captain Marvel can use the magical lightning as a weapon. He can summon Zeus's lighting bolts to strike his opponents. Zeus's lightning may be used to create mythic apparatus, restore damage done to Marvel, and act as a power source for magical spells. He knocked Superman unconscious with the speed of Mercury and with his fists wrapped in lighting bolts.
      • Magical Resistance: This boosts his Invulnerability and Endurance powers to god-like levels. Making him only affected by the most potent of spells and abilities.
      • Physical Enhancement:  His muscles, height increase, weight, mass and all physical properties that differ from Billy Batson's are a magical enhancement.
      • Electrokinesis: Shazam is able to generate and manipulate the "living lightning", which is the magical lightning that transforms him into Shazam. He can project the energy from his fingertips and even use the lightning bolt as a weapon by dodging it and allowing it to strike an opponent or other target.
      • Electro-Blast: Shazam can discharge powerful blasts and arcs of electricity from his hands or his entire body, and attack foes with it.
      • Magic: While in his transformed state, the Wizard expressed he can weave spells for various purposes. While not well-versed in his spell-casting capabilities, he showcased some skills within it by using the Book of Champions to cast precise spells.  Additionally, Billy's status as a "Champion of Magic" allows him to alter the intentions of spells at his beckon.
        • Magic of Shazam: Billy Batson is proficient in utilizing the spell-casting system, the Magic of Shazam, derived from the Wizard and the past members who sat on the Council of Eternity. He learned various spells through looking the Book of Champion.
        • Sharing Spell: As Captain Marvel, Billy can share a portion of his magical powers with anyone akin to family that he so chooses, giving both similar and different powers of their own based on their personalities.  The Wizard considers this "sharing spell" the greatest of Billy's powers.  
        • Size Alteration: Captain Marvel has used a spell to shrink down to the size of Mister Mind, in order to fight him inside his father's head.
        • Summoning: By saying "Ala-Ka-Zamm!" Captain Marvel was able to summon a ping-pong table into the Justice League Headquarters.
        • Thermal-Blast: Through a spell, Captain Marvel was able to ignite a blast of Superboy-Prime's ice breath into flames, and redirect the blast at him.
        • Dimensional Travel: Captain Marvel can access the Rock of Eternity whenever he wants, which sits at the center of the Multiverse. Captain Marvel was also able to forcibly transport the Wizard to the Rock of Eternity through a bolt of his lightning.
        • Advanced Healing: If he is injured in battle he may call on the magical lightning to heal himself and mend wounds. If wounded, his divine and supernatural energies enable him to recover at other worldly speed.
      • A for the Courage of Achilles: Captain Marvel has heroic levels of inner strength from which to draw. He has the courage of the Greek Hero Achilles which in battle and while in the Captain Marvel form allows him to wield great bravery and spirit. Captain Marvel is blessed with an innate and harmonious good will. A divine cheerfulness that is characterized by his trademark grin. It gives him a perseverance that pushes him to always confront a challenge with a knowing optimism.
        • Invulnerability: His magical body is nearly invulnerable to any outside attack or extraneous force. He managed to survive being turned inside out in the vacuum of space and return to normal. He commented that none of the other heroes present such as Superman, Wonder Woman, or Power Girl would have survived such an assault.  In particular, Superman is impressed at how Captain Marvel, whose powers are based on magic and the Gods, is much better suited against supernatural threats than he himself would ever be.
        • Optimism:  With the Courage of Achilles combined with the Wisdom of Solomon and the boyish personality of Billy Batson this creates a certain kind of optimism of which Captain Marvel is supremely known for. Able to smile down most opponents and using his powers in special ways other than fighting, Captain Marvel will forever remain the staple "boy scout".  This also allowed him to withstand the effects of Scarecrow's Fear Toxin while in his adult transformed state by accepting his fears and conquering it through courage and willpower.
      • M for the Speed of Mercury: By channeling Mercury's speed, Captain Marvel can easily fly and move at speeds far exceeding Mach 10 (2 miles a second) while in earth's atmosphere. This is far from his limit as the Speed of Mercury allows him to move at speeds faster than light. Just like Black Adam, his reflexes and speed enhance the impact of his uncharted physical strength. Thanks to the power of Mercury, Marvel flies as swiftly as the messenger god of Greek and Roman myth. 
        • Superhuman Speed: Captain Marvel can fly and/or run at incredible speeds.  Captain Marvels speed is said to surpass even that of Superman and rival that of the Flash, and can move at several times the speed of sound while running, swimming, and even performing "mundane tasks."  He was able to fly at the speed of light alongside the Flash (Wally West).
        • Flight: Captain Marvel can also mystically fly through the atmosphere. This enables him to soar effortlessly sub-orbital levels and travel across the planet in blinding speed. He can travel through space, but has sometimes uses devices to ease communication during interstellar travel. 
        • Superhuman Reflexes: Captain Marvel's reflexes are heightened to superhuman levels. He has even reacted to the likes of Superman in battle.

Abilities

• Genius Level Intellect: Thanks to the wisdom of Solomon, Marvel has a vast array of knowledge on many topics. When Superman asked if he was a scholar, Captain Marvel replied that he "just knows things."
• Charisma: Another facet of his intelligence is ability to talk his way out of situations, as a man with an unprecedented amount of wisdom, he prefers to talk, rather than fight. Once Captain Marvel was able to reason with the goddess Heqt and persuade her to cause no more trouble with the humanity.  Even without the wisdom, he's a charismatic kid, which in no short part has lead to a successful career as a reporter. Even those not native to Fawcett City have remarked how charming he is.
• Music: As Captain Marvel, he's shown at least competence with an electric guitar, knowing exactly how to make the noises that would harm Venusians. One employee at the music studio he recorded at compared him to Jimi Hendrix.
• Occultism: Captain Marvel knows much of the magical world, its creatures and their behaviors.
• Throwing: As Marvel, Billy remarked that he had a 'pitchers arm', allowing him to throw objects a far distance and later threw a man in such a way to pin down another man.
• Swimming: As Marvel, Billy remarked that he had a 'pitchers arm', allowing him to throw objects a far distance and later threw a man inn such a way to pin down another man.
• Intimidation: Billy once befriended a shy and reserved kid named Brian Bronsky. Upon realizing the boy was beaten and abused by his father, Billy as Captain Marvel visited Mr. Bronsky and delivered a deeply intimidating speech, scaring the man into turning over a new leaf.
• Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Billy was trained by Batman in hand-to-hand combat, allowing him to be a capable fighter even without the form of Captain Marvel.  Billy has also been shown to have knowledge of street fighting, which aided in his first defeat over Black Adam.  As Captain Marvel, Billy is an incredibly adept and creative fighter with a great sense of battleground awareness, as seen in how he used the environment to his advantage in his battle against the Arson Fiend and in the way he weaponized his thunder against an Eclipso-possessed Superman. Furthermore, Captain Marvel was able to match the demonic warrior Sabbac blow-for-blow early within his career.

 

Terrax the Tamer

Real Name: Tyros

First Appearance: Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #211 (June, 1979)

Origin: Tyros was originally the dictator of the small city-state Lanlak (originally called Terran) on the world of Birj, a moon of the gas giant Marman in a solar system eighty thousand light years from Earth. Tyros ruled through the use of his limited power over earth and rock. This power, which apparently was a mutation unique to Tyros, enabled him to animate constructs of stone, which would patrol his kingdom maintaining his firm control. Tyros loved power and conquest, and led a life of debauchery and violence. Somehow, he came to the attention of Galactus, the World Devourer.

Here are his powers, abilities, and weapon:

Powers 

• Mutant powers: He possessed the natural mutant ability of geokinesis, enhanced by Galactus' transformation:
  • Earth Manipulation: Terrax's telekinetic psionic ability to manipulate the molecules of rock and earth has been augmented by Galactus' transformation at least a hundredfold. Terrax can move planetary masses up to 100 miles in diameter. He can move asteroids of 10 miles in diameter at speeds of up to thousands of miles per hour. He can control the direction of a swarm of meteors within 100 miles of his person. Through concentration, he can affect a small piece of matter 1000 miles away from him. The farther the distance, however, the less mass he is able to affect. Standing on a planetary surface, he can affect tectonic plates sufficiently to cause earthquakes and create chasms in the surface thousands of feet deep or wide. Deploying his powers to the maximum extent, he can separate a landmass the size of Manhattan Island and levitate it miles off the Earth's surface. On worlds with lesser gravity, he can lift even greater masses.
• Power Cosmic: After becoming Galactus' herald, Terrax was imbued with a fraction of the Power Cosmic, making him a Cosmic level threat, enhancing his mutant powers and granting him several other abilities:
  • Vast Superhuman Strength:  Like all of Galactus' heralds, Terrax is superhumanly strong and is capable of lifting about 75 tons without supplementing his strength with his cosmic energy. However, while supplementing his strength, Terrax is temporarily capable of lifting somewhere well in excess of 100 tons.
  • Superhuman Speed: Despite his great size and bodily density, Terrax can run and move at speeds superior to that of the finest human athlete.
  • Superhuman Stamina: Terrax's cosmically powered musculature produces almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting him almost limitless levels of superhuman stamina. However, since his brain is still composed of conventional organic tissue, he does occasionally require sleep in order to dream.
  • Superhuman Agility: Terrax's agility, balance, and bodily coordination have all been enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
  • Superhuman Reflexes: Terrax's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
  • Superhuman Durability:  Terrax's body is composed of a flexible, rock-like material that is considerably harder and more resistant to physical injury than the bodily tissues of a human being. Terrax's body can withstand exposure to temperature extremes from 50 degrees above absolute zero to the interior of a small sun and the pressure up to 100 Earth atmospheres. His body is also capable of withstanding powerful energy blasts and concussive force up to a fall at terminal velocity from the limit of Earth's exosphere. Terrax's body is also designed to fully withstand the rigors of travel through deep space and is sustained by the Power Cosmic, meaning he has no need to eat, drink, or even breathe.
  • Flight: Terrax, like all of Galactus' heralds, is able to enter warp-space and negotiate through it in order to cover great spatial distances. Traversing through the normal universe, he is able to attain 75% the speed of light, or roughly 139,500 miles per second.
  • Energy Manipulation: Like most heralds, Terrax is able to manipulate energy via the Power Cosmic, firing energy blasts from his axe and hands. However, The Sentry was able to resist his blasts via forcefields
  • Due to him having the Power Cosmic and due to his use of it, he was deemed a Category 1 threat by the Nova Corps and to stated have an "universal" threat level.

Abilities

• Though, like Galactus' other heralds, he prefers to use his energy powers in combat situations, Terrax is a formidable hand to hand combatant.

Weapons

• Cosmic Axe: Terrax wields a cosmic axe, that is empowered with the Power Cosmic, which provides it with several powers of its own to use:
  • Destructive Wave Generation:  It is capable of emanating waves of destructive force sufficiently powerful to rend a tear in Galactus' own ship.
  • Forcefield Generation:  It can project highly impervious force shields.
  • Power Augmentation: Since it operates independently of rock and earth, the axe augments the scope of Terrax's power.

Battle Breakdown: Oh boy, do we have an epic matchup on our hands here folks.  We have a highly powerful magic user going up against a being that wields the Power Cosmic.  If I'm Captain Marvel (Billy Batson), I would really rely on the Wisdom of Solomon so I am able to come up with a scheme to not only best Terrax physically, but to also outsmart him as well.

As always guys, who do you think takes the fight?  Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) or Terrax the Tamer?

[GuessWhat]

Nice stuff. I didn't even know SHAZAM represented the names of old gods. Anyways, I would say Shazam wins. Of course it depends on the writers, but I would write it to were Shazam wins by neutralizing Terrax and not necessarily killing him or knocking him unconscious. Maybe like containing him in another pocket dimension or something.

Hello True Believers,

Welcome to another installment of Section 5 of Fantasy Fights 2.0.

Today's exciting matchup will be:

                               

Kl'rt, the Super Skrull                                            Vs.         J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

 

Super Skrull

Real Name: Kl'rt

First Appearance: Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #18 (June, 1963)

Origin: Under the rule of Emperor Dorrek VII, Kl'rt became the first Super-Skrull. He was endowed with the powers of the Fantastic Four and sent to Earth to conquer it after the Fantastic Four thwarted their previous invasion attempt.  With powers that were stronger than his foes', the Super-Skrull was more than a match against the Fantastic Four. The team's leader, Mr. Fantastic, deduced that Kl'rt's powers were artificial and beamed to him from the Skrull throneworld, so he built a jamming device that cut off the Super-Skrull's power source. Powerless, Kl'rt was imprisoned inside a dormant volcano.

Of course, this would not be the last of Kl'rt's battles with the Fantastic Four as he would continue to be a thorn in the first family's side without the need of the transmission beam.

Here are his powers and abilities:

Powers

• Skrull Shape-Shifting: Like other Skrulls, Kl'rt is a shape-shifter. Thus he has the ability to rearrange the molecules of his body at will into any form, shape or being perceived that he chooses. This allows him him to imitate the appearance of any of the four members of the Fantastic Four, as well as their powers
  • Hypnotic Gaze: The Super-Skrull possesses certain hypnotic abilities, the limits of which are unknown.

Due to absorbing the cosmic energy of the transmission beam, he possesses the powersets of the entire Fantastic Four, but at much greater levels.  He can fly faster than Human Torch, he can stretch more than 100 miles and lift (press) more than 100 tons among other things.  The sets of powers he can mimic are as follows:  

• Pyrokinesis: The Super-Skrull possesses the mental ability to control ambient heat energy and the physical ability to transform his entire body, or portions of his body, into a fiery, plasma-like state at will.
• Plasma Form: The Super-Skrull possesses the physical ability to envelop his entire body or portions of his body with fiery plasma without harm to himself.
• Fire Manipulation: The Super-Skrull can generate shapes composed of fire from any point on his body, such as long streams of fire.
• Flight: The Super-Skrull with mental stimulation of his flame can form a jet of fire from his feet, directed behind him, which allows him to achieve flight.  
• Heat Absorption: The Super-Skrull can absorb infinite amounts of heat.
• Vast Superhuman Strength: The Super-Skrull possesses superhuman strength beyond the natural limits of the finest Skrull. Kl'rt's superhuman strength is sufficient enough to lift 100 tons or more. The Super Skrull has a force high enough to hurt incredibly tough beings like The Silver Surfer or Thor.
• Superhuman Stamina: The Super-Skrull's muscles produce less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the muscles of normal Skrull.
• Superhuman Durability/Invulnerability: The Super-Skrull is far tougher and more resistant to injury than normal Skrulls.
• Invisibility: The Super-Skrull possesses the mental ability to manipulate ambient cosmic energy for a variety of effects, including the rendering of himself and other objects invisible, and the construction of solid, invisible force fields.
• Psionic Force Fields: The Super-Skrull, through concentration, is able to project a field of psionic force which he can manipulate into a number of relatively simple forms; rectangular planes, cylinders, globes, domes, cones, etc.
• Plasticity: The Super-Skrull possesses the ability to convert the mass of his entire body into a highly malleable state at will.
• Elongation: The Super-Skrull can extend his limbs, torso, or neck to great distances.
  • Grappling: The Super-Skrull may restrain opponents very efficiently by using his elastic form to entangle them.
  • Movement: The Super-Skrull can move at great speeds by stretching to his destination.
• Combine Powers: Super-Skrull can use more than one power at a time which allows him to combine his powers in various ways, he can create force fields in his flames so that they do not extinguish, among other things.

Abilities

• Skrull-Military Training: The Super-Skrull is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, having been extensively trained in the art of warfare by the Skrull military.
  • Aviation:  Kl'rt is trained in the use of the advanced warp-drive starships of the Skrull-military.
  • Unarmed Combat: Kl'rt is trained in the unarmed combat of the Skrull-military, he is also quite experienced; due to his involvement in the Kree-Skrull War, fighting the Fantastic Four, and the Annihilation Wave. 
  • Marksmanship: Kl'rt is trained in the use of the ranged energy-weaponry of the Skrull-military.
• Creative Power Use: The Super-Skrull is more creative in the use of his powers, when compared with the Fantastic Four (i.e. decapitation).
• Leadership: Whilst in the Negative Zone, Kl'rt was able to amass an army from the former prisoners of the UX-73 Prison Planetoid.

 

Martian Manhunter

Real Name: J'onn J'onzz

First Appearance: Detective Comics: Vol. 1 #225 (November, 1955)

Origin and backstory: Centuries ago on the planet Mars, the Green Martians known as M'yrnn and Sha'sheen gave birth to twin sons. The bearing of twins was uncommon among the Martian culture, and as such, the first of the twins was named J'onn J'onzz, whose name means "Light to the Light." J'onn's brother, however, was born a mutant, bereft of a Martian's innate ability to communicate telepathically. He was named Ma'alefa'ak, whose name means "Darkness in the Heart."  As an adult, J'onn became a Manhunter (police officer) and married a Martian woman named M'yri'ah. The two established a modest home for themselves beneath the windswept Martian plains and gave birth to a daughter named K'hym.  Years passed, and J'onn's brother Ma'alefa'ak grew to despise everything about Martian culture. In an ambitious endeavor to commit full-scale genocide against his own people, he engineered a contagious virus known as H'ronmeer's Curse. The virus reacted to telepathic energy and carried from one Martian to the next whenever they elected to use their psionic powers. The plague responded to a Martian's innate fear of fire, causing them psychosomatic stress so intense, that their bodies and minds would literally burst into flame. J'onn desperately tried to keep his wife and daughter from using their mental gifts, but they were unable to do so, and thus ultimately contracted the virus. K'hym was the first to experience the symptoms, and M'yri'ah followed soon after. J'onn was anguished as he watched his family burning to death before his very eyes. The trauma of the event shattered his psyche, and nearly drove him mad.  Meanwhile, on the planet Earth, a would-be scientist named Dr. Saul Erdel developed a transmitter machine based upon ancient Martian technology. Seeking to make contact with extraterrestrial life, he aimed his device towards the vicinity of Mars and activated it. The transmitter beam streaked across both space and time, striking the Martian Manhunter at a point in time several centuries before Erdel would even be born. The beam brought J'onn back to Erdel's natural time era, where he collapsed on the ground outside of the doctor's Colorado laboratory.  Erdel brought the distraught Martian inside and attempted to nurse him back to health. The anguish of J'onn's mental state created a psychic bond between the two, and Erdel became aware of the events that took place on Mars. In an effort to heal J'onn's mind, Erdel used the mental link to fabricate a new history for the Martian. He created a back-story inspired by the writings of famous science fiction novelists such as Ray Bradbury and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Eventually, J'onn's sanity was restored, and he was prepared to function in this strange, new world. Erdel put the idea into his head that he should become a great champion, and thus J'onn adopted the heroic guise of the Martian Manhunter.  When J'onn shapeshifted into a human-like form, Erdel was shocked and suffered a heart attack that killed him. As he was dying, Erdel asked J'onn for forgiveness for making him a prisoner of Earth. It was later revealed that Mars was dead when J'onn was taken, killed by a mental plague deliberately started by his brother Ma'alefa'ak. He took the identity of the Bronze Wraith, and fought crime with the Justice Experience.  J'onn was able to use his powers to fit into human society. He adopted a human appearance and called himself "John Jones." He became a police detective in the city of Middleton.  For a long time, he worked as a policeman while secretly using his alien powers to solve cases and help people.  

Years later, he would play a key role in finding and establishing one of the most iconic and greatest superhero teams of all time, the Justice League of America, along with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), and Aquaman.

Here are his powers and abilities:

• Martian Physiology:  Martian Manhunter has been described as "the Swiss Army knife of superheroes." He possesses many of the powers of Superman. Note: Many, if not all of the Martian Manhunter's powers and abilities are common to members of his race, even if demonstration of such abilities has not been explicitly shown in a canonical resource. His powers come from his alien physiology. Born on Mars over a millennium ago, from a super advanced civilization, boasting advanced technology and genetic modifications over its people, the Martian Manhunter would appear to be a genetically modified being with incredible powers stemming from the changes made in his body. Whether this is their natural state or an advanced state given to only a few individuals is unknown. The Martian's physiology would seem to be composed of a complex molecular chain that resembles polymer bonds but with the ability to be altered at will. The Martian Manhunter can change his mass, color, relative shape, imitating even clothing if desired. The biopolymer is extremely flexible, durable, incredibly strong for a biological material and apparently self-sustaining. According to Superman, if he can count on one hand the number of beings in the known universe he'd be afraid to face in open combat. J'onn J'onzz is at the top of that list. He's the most powerful being on the face of the Earth. Even John Stewart agrees that J'onn is the single most powerful creature on the planet.  It is unknown if the Martian Manhunter actually needs to eat or not but he has been seen consuming food, particularly "Chocos," a brand of cookies.
  • Shape-Shifting, Malleability, Plasticity, and Elongation: Arguably one of the most incredible powers possessed by the Manhunter is the ability to shape-shift. He is able to literally control the molecular structure of his body's biopolymers and manipulate them into any construct he desires, in addition to and including his own body. He can form clothing and weapons with non-moving or non-functioning parts. There does not seem to be any limit to the number of people the Manhunter can imitate and has stood in as a double for many famous people. His ability to imitate people and their mannerisms has stood him in good stead for his disguises. He has recently been seen to shape-shift into the size and shape of a common house fly and to enormous sizes comparable to skyscrapers.
    • Animal Mimicry: J'onn has the ability to turn into animals, such as Tomasso the cat, and turned his head into a bird.  Manhunters were trained on how to take the shapes of beasts.
  • Invisibility: The Manhunter can cause the biopolymers in his body to lose their ability to reflect light, rendering the Manhunter invisible to normal light and human sight. With more increased concentration, he can render himself completely invisible along the electromagnetic spectrum, including the infrared and the ultraviolet ranges of the spectrum. This invisibility does not affect every other sense and he could still be detected by touch.
  • Phasing: The Manhunter can phase through solid matter. No explanation of this power has been given, but it might possibly be an aspect of his psionic powers, perhaps shifting his mass into another dimension or out of vibrational phase with other objects in this dimension. Since it is known that he can alter the density of his biopolymers, it may be that he can simply become less substantial than solid matter, thereby decreasing the molecular density of his body by loosening the bonds within the biopolymers, due to - and further demonstrating - the absolute control he has over them.
  • Invulnerability: The biomorphic structure of the Manhunter's body allows him to absorb almost all kinetic energies such as high caliber bullets, shrapnel, or flying debris easily. He can harden his biopolymers by rebinding them and increase his durability to the point where he is nearly on par with Superman. Along with his nigh-invulnerability, his shape shifting makes him even more difficult to harm. Hazardous environments practically do not affect the Martian Manhunter .
    • Toxic Immunity:  In addition, Martian Manhunter's immune system protects him from all toxins and diseases (meaning he is unable to succumb to any earthly poison, disease or infection).
  • Vast Superhuman Strength: The Martian Manhunter is one of the strongest beings on the planet. The Martian's superhuman strength comes from his Biomorphic structure formed from immensely long and complex molecular chains, augmented with his psionic and telekinetic abilities allowing him to lift incredible weights without these weights crumbling under the stress. The Martian has been seen lifting tankers out of the ocean for vast distances, stalemating powerhouses like Superman, moving 1/3 of the Earth with Superman and Wonder Woman, knocking out Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) once, stopping a ship many times larger than the planet from colliding with Earth in tandem with Superman, and destroying the Moon whose gravity was increased a billion fold to the point it was tearing off the Earth's crust and ejecting every continent into the atmosphere.  J'onn's strength is great enough to the point that he has drawn blood from beings as durable as Kryptonians such as Supergirl by his punches alone. By modifying the density of these biopolymers, the Manhunter can make himself stronger by forcing them into tighter bundles. While at a resting state the limits of his strength are unknown, the Manhunter can lift 100 tons without much effort. He is nearly as strong as the likes of Superman when concentrating his biopolymers to their full capacity. 
    • Super-Leaping: The Martian Manhunter has demonstrated the ability to jump immense distances.
  • Superhuman Stamina: J'onn's endurance is just as formidable as his strength and invulnerability. He can operate under extreme conditions for an indeterminate period of time without showing signs of fatigue. The exact range of this power is unknown.
  • Regeneration: The Martian Manhunter has shown amazing regenerative capabilities. So great are they that he has been able to completely regenerate from nothing but his severed hand, regenerate in moments from nothing more than a puddle of green liquid, and in another instance, survived beheading.
  • Flight: The Martian Manhunter flies by manipulation of gravitons (a subatomic particle associated with the force of gravity), manipulation of magnetic fields and control of his absolute molecular movement (a telekinetic effect).  These combine to give him the ability to fly great distances with little fatigue and at great speed. The Manhunter has also been seen flying in space with no difficulty, and in space he can fly at speeds that have allowed him to keep up with the likes of even Superman. J'onn can therefore fly at speeds exceeding the escape velocity of earth (7 miles per second) under his own power.
  • Superhuman Speed: Either through flight or natural movement, the Martian Manhunter can maintain speed and demonstrates reflexes far in excess to that of most metahumans, and for far longer. Like the power of flight, this is accomplished by manipulating the magnetic fields of energy surrounding his body, as well as ambient gravitational particles.  Traditionally, J'onn only uses his superhuman speed while flying. He has admitted that he is not as fast as Superman but this can be argued as he has shown speed feats that are nearly at Superman's level, such as the speed necessary to fly around the earth destroying multiple targets around the planet in seconds, while also managing to save Kyle Rayner in the end. He can process thoughts, move, and react at super speed as well. J'onn has also demonstrated that he is fast enough to comfortably catch bullets and other exceedingly fast projectiles.
  • Extrasensory Input: J'onn possesses nine different senses. One of these senses could account for instances of the Manhunter's perceived precognitive abilities.
  • Longevity: Martians possess naturally longer lifespans than human beings. J'onn has lived for at least one hundred years and is still not at old age.
  • Super Hearing
  • Super Breath: The Martian Manhunter has also demonstrated an increased lung capacity.  The inner valves and chambers inside the Martian Manhunter's air canals are very dense and greatly enhanced, allowing him to, much like Superman, create strong hurricane force winds just by exhaling pressurized air from his lungs in an incredibly strong burst and freeze opponents.
  • Enhanced Senses
    • Martian Vision: The actual nature of this power seems to vary depending on the reports. It has been seen to be a bolt of force, directed by the Manhunter's eyes causing considerable damage. It has also been seen to cause flammable objects to catch fire. It also grants J'onn the ability to see into other spectrums of light. J'onn can use his Martian vision to see people and objects that are invisible to others. For example, upon their first meeting, J'onn's power allowed him to see past Gypsy's metahuman camouflage ability; other effects are, at present, unknown. 
      • X-Ray Vision: J'onn J'onzz described this ability colloquially as ionized particulate matter mapped to a variable density wavepacket.  It allows him to see through objects.
      • Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision
      • Telescopic Vision
      • Microscopic Vision
      • Heat Vision: Martian Manhunter can project powerful blasts of energy from his eyes. The power of these blasts are comparable to Superman's heat vision and have been shown to be able to harm the likes of Superman and Black Adam. He is able to create a powerful enough blast to sever his own arm. 
  • Telepathy: The Martian Manhunter is the most powerful telepath on the planet, and is one of the strongest telepathic beings in the Universe.  He is able to effect even the Spectre and Doctor Fate with his telepathy. Aquaman has stated that Martian Manhunter's telepathy exceeds even the telepathy of other members of the Martian race. He said that with J'onn's great telepathic power his own telepathy just "pings" off of him while when Aquaman was in the presence of J'onn's brother, Ma'alefa'ak, there was no such effect. J'onn is capable of linking the minds of all superheroes at once from a distance of the moon to all corners of the earth. He is also capable of reading the minds of all inhabitants of earth at once. His telepathic abilities also allow him to create realistic illusions; telepathically trace and locate people; shut down people's minds; brain blast; mental shield; influence thoughts; mind control people; manipulate memory; astral projection; possession; induce sleep; reprogram or reorder minds; and transfer information directly into people's brains. The Martian Manhunter's mind control capabilities have allowed him to mind control the Joker and make him temporarily sane, as well as mind controlling several White Martians at once. He is also capable of mentally shielding those around him from telepathic assault. His own mental defenses are so strong that he is able to telepathically shield himself from the combined might of several White Martians and from the Mageddon machinery.
    • Illusions
    • Possession
    • Astral Projection
    • Mind Control: The Martian Manhunter can also control other beings mind's.  Insane minds seem to be the only minds he has some trouble controlling.
    • Telepathic Relay: Otherwise known as a telepathic link. As a Class 3 telepath, the Manhunter is able to use his telepathic prowess as a relay station for a group of minds, who can then "speak" to each other through him. This relaying ability seems to be limited to the same range as the Manhunter's normal telepathic range. 
    • Telepathic Assault: The Martian Manhunter can also use his telepathic abilities in an offensive manner. He has the ability to cause mental shutdown in a target using his psionic powers. The Manhunter does not use this power often due to the invasive nature and harshness of such a telepathic attack.
    • Thought Sensing:  The Manhunter can use the mental signature of a being to track it, and can detect life forms by their empathic as well as telepathic signatures. He can detect whether a being is intelligent or not, and can communicate with it empathically if it does not have a communication-driven frame of reference with which normal telepathy may function.  He can also detect various states of mind from anywhere in the world.
  • Telekinesis:  Presumably a side effect of his Martian vision is telekinesis. He seems to keep this ability in reserve, as he does some of his other powers. J'onn is capable of controlling / manipulating; move; push; cut out; attack; and levitate objects even at the subatomic level. J'onn can manipulate atoms, subatomic particles, and cells perfectly. J'onn can fire extremely powerful Telekinetic Blasts, causing others to telekinetically explode and create a telekinetic shield. J'onn has only demonstrated this power a select few times.
  • Sonic Scream: J'onn has on occasion demonstrated the capability to emit a devastating sonic scream.
  • Matter Absorption: J'onn has the ability to absorb matter and add it to his own mass, he once used this ability to grow to the size of the gigantic Antares, and in another occasion to enhance his regenerative abilities. 

Abilities

• Genius Level Intellect: The Martian Manhunter possesses highly advanced reasoning and logic capabilities and uses them to great effect. Despero once claimed that Ted Kord's mind (IQ 192) was second only to that of J'onn J'onzz.  On Mars, everyone had to fulfill dual roles and J'onn, apart from a Manhunter, was a philosopher, adept in such high concepts as the Algebra of Ethics and the Life Equation.  The Martian Manhunter's particularly astute reasoning capabilities and long-term association with Earth's global population gives him an edge in dealing with humans of diverse governments, cultures and religions. As a result, in the northern hemisphere of Earth, the Manhunter is one of many costumed adventurers battling against entropy, yet in the southern hemisphere, he is more well-known than even Superman.
  • Eidetic Memory
  • Pedagogy: J'onn not only has experience as a school teacher, but he has trained the Justice League in mental exercises to help them resist mind control, telepathy and mind attacks.  He has even trained Kyle Rayner in combat.  
• Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Even before becoming a hero on Earth, J'onn was a member of the Manhunters of Mars and trained under them in a variety of fighting arts, including hand-to-hand combat. Under their rigorous training, J'onn was able to defeat entire groups of Parademons in single combat.  The Well of Souls has deemed J’onn the best of all the Manhunters.  J'onn's expertise in battle has often had him been sought out as a combat instructor and teacher, and has taught members of the Justice League and Justice Society.  As Martians constantly study others, J'onn has proven himself able to quickly adapt, even incorporate moves he saw in manga.  J'onn was capable of fighting out a large group of White Martians, long enough for Batman to escape.  Martian Manhunter has also received training from Wonder Woman.  J'onn has held his own against Mindhunter in combat, for a prolonged period of time, before being overwhelmed
  • Martial Arts
• Weaponry: J'onn is skilled in the use of a trident.
  • Swordsmanship: J'onn has matched and even defeated Kanto in swordplay.
• Military Protocol:  Manhunters are trained in military protocol, acting as soldiers.
• Law: Manhunters are trained in legal matters, acting as judges.
• Investigation: Manhunters were famed for their ability to always catch criminals, never stopping a case until justice was done.  As John Jones, he further proved himself a capable detective. J'onn once made detailed files on all of the heroes on Earth, including on the Justice League of America.
  • Criminology
• Tactical Analysis: J'onn is a superb tactician
• Leadership
• Multilingualism: The Martian Manhunter is able to speak several languages, those include: Martian, English, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, Italian.
• Meditation: Martians enter a meditative state as a form of sleep.
• Diplomacy
• Aviation: J'onn has proven himself a capable pilot of both Martian and Human aircraft.
• Mimicry: As J'onn's lives are real people, J'onn constantly finds himself acting to the other people in their lives, rarely ever slipping up. J'onn is so good at this, that he was able to completely mimic Batman based off scant memories of those who witnessed him.  He also often pretends to be supervillains, in order to gain their secrets.  
  • Power Replication: Martian's constantly study others in order to learn how to replicate their abilities, shapes, and skills.
    • Farming: As Josh Johnstone, J'onn worked at Kent Farm.
    • Business Management:  As Yuchiro Takata, J'onn was a high-ranking but retired businessman at New Concept Industries.
    • Journalism: As Goldie Johnstone, J'onn worked as a reporter at the World Register.
• Stealth: J'onn has utilized stealth on numerous occasions, often using his invisibility, or acting skills, but has also performed fear tactics, such as when he took down the Renegades of Mars.

Battle Breakdown: Folks, this maybe one of the most interesting and creative fantasy fights I've ever put together.  We have two powerful, versatile, and shapeshifting aliens going at it.  I will say that I will give Super Skrull a slight edge over Martian Manhunter because Kl'rt controls fire which happens to be J'onn's biggest weakness.  For those who do not know, Martian Manhunter possesses a psychosomatic fear of fire.  Any contact with fire causes the Manhunter to lose control of his biomorphic form.

But, as always, I leave the outcome up to you guys.  Do you guys take Super Skrull or Martian Manhunter?  I hope you guys enjoy this matchup.  PEACE!

Nice stuff. I didn't even know SHAZAM represented the names of old gods.

If you don't mind asking, what did you think SHAZAM stood for?

Hello True Believers,

Welcome to another segment of Section 5 of Fantasy Fights 2.0

Today's matchup is:

                                                             

Imperiex                                                           VS.                                            Norrin Radd, the Silver Surfer

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

 

Imperiex

Real Name: Imperiex-Prime

First Appearance: Superman Vol. 2 #153 (February, 2000)

Overview: He was first seen when Mongul, the son of the deceased villain of the same name, arrived on Earth stating that Imperiex had destroyed Warworld and was heading for Earth. Mongul convinced Superman to help him fight Imperiex, and the two managed to defeat it. However, it transpired that the "Imperiex" they had encountered was no more than a probe, whereas Imperiex Prime, leader of the Imperieces, was himself a much larger and more powerful being. He had detected imperfections in the fabric of the universe, and his ultimate plan was to destroy it and create a new, perfect one. To do so, Imperiex Prime headed for Earth, the planet which held the universe together, in order to destroy it and therefore induce a new Big Bang.  Before arriving to Earth, Imperiex obliterated countless other planets. Kalanor, Karna, and Daxam are three known planets destroyed in his cataclysmic campaign. Whole galaxies were also targeted for demolition as Imperiex Prime sought to fulfill his destructive destiny, obliterating one universe so that a new one would be born. After destroying Karna, Imperiex arrived at Almerac, the home of Maxima, and not only destroyed Almerac but "hollowed" the entire galaxy. After this, the survivors of the dead worlds, Brainiac 13's Warworld, Apokolips, and Earth formed a coalition, with Darkseid as its commander, to fight against Imperiex Prime and his probes. Finally arriving at the Milky Way Galaxy, Imperiex began sending in numerous probes. On Earth, several of Imperiex's machine-colony "Hollowers" destroyed Topeka, Kansas (as well as seven other places) when they began to dig into Earth to ready it for Imperiex's final demolition.

Here are his powers and abilities:

Powers

• Unique Physiology: The embodiment of entropy, Imperiex takes the form of pure energy contained inside a humanoid suit of armor, colossal in size.
  • Energy Projection: He was capable of projecting energy blasts powerful enough to reduce Doomsday to a simple skeleton.
  • Vast Superhuman Strength
  • Superhuman Durability
  • Imperiex also has the ability to induce a Big Bang

Abilities

• Swordsmanship

 

Silver Surfer

Real Name: Norrin Radd

First Appearance: Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #48 (December, 1965)

Origin: One of the noblest and most tormented cosmic entities in the universe, the Silver Surfer treasures freedom above all else, but has often sacrificed his liberty for the greater good. He was born Norrin Radd on the planet Zenn-La, part of an extremely long-lived and technologically advanced humanoid race which had created a worldwide utopia devoid of crime, disease, hunger, poverty, and want of any kind. His father named him after revered scientist Norrin Konn, the man responsible for raising Zenn-La from barbarism to utopia.  Norrin Radd's mother Elmar, ill-suited to this stifling environment, eventually killed herself. Urged on by his atypically ambitious father Jartran, Norrin was raised as a grimly intellectual youth, encouraged to seek knowledge, advancement and achievement rather than the aimless hedonism which had come to dominate Zenn-Lavian society; however, a disgraced Jartran would later commit suicide himself after he was accused of idea theft (though not before he had taken a new lover and fathered another son, Fennan, unknown to Norrin).  Despite his lifelong lover Shalla-Bal, Norrin grew into a restless soul who longed for challenge and struggle, immersing himself in histories of Zenn-La's adventurous ancient past.  Norrin's life changed forever when a menacing alien spacecraft pierced Zenn-La's long-neglected defense systems. Convincing a Council of Scientists member to provide him with a spaceship, Radd soon confronted the invader, Galactus, who intended to consume Zenn-La; Radd offered to become his herald and seek out new worlds for him to sate his hunger in exchange for Galactus sparing Zenn-La. Galactus agreed, transforming Radd into a silver-skinned, cosmic-powered super-being patterned after an adolescent fantasy plucked from Norrin's memories.  Known thereafter as the Silver Surfer because of the silvery flying board he rode, Radd departed Zenn-La with Galactus.

Here are his powers, abilities, and equipment/gear:

Powers

• Cosmic Empowerment: Currently, the Silver Surfer is one of the most powerful beings in the universe, and the most powerful of the Heralds of Galactus. He was deemed to be an Alpha Plus by the Galadorian Spaceknight Ikon, and potentially a universal-level threat by the Nova Corps.  The Surfer has also eventually been recognized to normally hold back and not manifest his full power.
  • Vast Superhuman Strength: The Surfer possesses enormous superhuman strength. Though the exact magnitude remains vague, the Surfer has often been shown to fight evenly with people who can lift far in excess of 100 tons. He can also channel the build-up of energy within himself to increase his strength to incalculable levels.  He managed to pulverize diamonds with no effort, stopped a charging Rhino, and when in a weak state he even managed to overcome and defeat the Abomination with little effort.  The Surfer also forcefully redirected a starship's path and launched it into the outer solar system, and it was stated that it would continue on its straight-line path for centuries.  He escaped from Quasar's construct, broke out of a planet that Michael Korvac formed by using nearby asteroids, physically subjugated a dwarf star thrown on him by an enhanced Deadpool and easily redirected it into outer space,  and using his speed and strength, the Surfer shattered through several Vibranium walls that exploded on contact to save Nova.  When he was extremely weakened, he still managed to pull the Galactus Incubator out of the young living planet Ego, and then throw it a few light-years away, and throw Stormbreaker out of a black hole.  The Surfer's potential strength was once said to rival the Hulk's limitless rage-enhanced strength.  
  • Invulnerability: The Silver Surfer's entire body is sheathed in a silvery, impervious metallic coating, his "silver skin", is near indestructible, and impenetrable, under normal conditions, making him essentially invulnerable and is almost totally indestructible.  Among things that include simple blunt force, like withstanding a punch from She-Hulk without flinching back when the She-Hulk's power level was still just class 75, and not far above class 100 as it is today.  The Silver Surfer can withstand even the most extreme conditions, like the crushing pressures of a black hole.  He is immune to temperature extremes and most radiation, and can survive in vacuum environments such as outer space and hyperspace.  He withstood the extreme cold in the North Pole,  as well in the Himalayas, the extreme heat and thermal radiation of atmospheric entry, the extreme heat and thermal radiation of atmospheric entry, and can even take supernovas unharmed.  Moreover, he was able to travel and live outer space without being affected in a single manner by cosmic radiations.  
  • Superhuman Speed: Prior to his upgrade, the Silver Surfer was one of the fastest beings in the universe, but he was greatly outmatched by the Runner of the Elders of the Universe. Currently, he is faster than Beta Ray Bill and Nova. The Silver Surfer can travel at speeds faster than light. He can enter Hyperspace when he exceeds the speed of light,  Prior to his upgrade, the Silver Surfer was one of the fastest beings in the universe, but he was greatly outmatched by the Runner of the Elders of the Universe. Currently, he is faster than Beta Ray Bill and Nova. The Silver Surfer can travel at speeds faster than light. He can enter Hyperspace when he exceeds the speed of light, although he is also able to accelerate and achieve faster than light speeds without accessing hyperspace.  For example of his speed, Dracula's hurricane wasn't enough to knock him off balance or slow him down, he has used his speed to easily destroy Warships, traveled light years in just 1 second, quickly traveled half a million light years, left Earth and traversed half the galaxy in search of food for Galactus to consume in mere seconds, in just moments, the Surfer flew out of a galaxy,  and in a few minutes the Surfer traveled from Earth to halfway across the universe following a call echoing through creation.  His speed has been described as “distorting space-time, flying from one side of the universe to the other.  Finally, his mind and body can be used at these speeds as well, making the Surfer extremely reactive and agile. The Surfer has searched the entire planet for Namor in less time than it took for Doctor Strange to finish a sentence, visited and analyzed every planet in numerous galaxies in a matter of hours.
  • Superhuman Agility: Silver Surfer has greater agility, balance, dexterity, flexibility, equilibrium and bodily coordination than that of an Olympic-level athlete. But Silver Surfer rarely shows this ability. While flying, he easily dodges bullets and anti-aircraft missiles from military planes, dodges Kree blaster fire, dodged Cyborg Superman's laser beams at point-blank range, and even managed to coordinate his body to avoid a barrage of laser beams coming from several spacecraft simultaneously.
  • Superhuman Stamina: The Surfer's highly enhanced musculature generates no fatigue toxins, body stress, or even sweat, granting him inexhaustible physical stamina, which allows him to fight other beings for prolonged periods of time before tiring, if he even gets tired.  
  • Superhuman Reflexes:  Silver Surfer can react and dodge objects traveling at high speed, much quicker than any normal human. When he was attacked by the Human Torch, the Surfer was able to successfully dodge his attack,  as he was able to easily dodge and counter all of the Lunatik's strikes, and effortlessly dodge the Hulk's blow and a rock thrown at him.  He is also able to dodge meteors and a lightning bolt, just as he has several times reacted in the space of a microsecond, and even in the range of a nanosecond.  The Surfer was even able to analyze a situation in a microsecond and to act much faster than that.
  • Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his invulnerability, Silver Surfer can be injured, but can heal and regenerate immediately using the Power Cosmic. He healed immediately after being eaten by eagles (Silver Surfer does it intentionally to experience "life and death ..."), fixed his severed hand, restored his arm after being cut off, upon the return of half of his cosmic essence, was instantly healed and at maximum power, and healed from being cut up multiple times when the Cosmic Power was being restored to him.  He has managed to fully recover from complete atomic destruction during his battle with Uni-Lord.  He can exist without his body; and turn into air and/or snow and can reform himself.
  • Immortality: Due to his ability to sustain himself, the Silver Surfer is virtually immortal. He is approximately 13.7 billion years old due to having traveled back in time to a previous incarnation of the universe and simply waiting out until the present caught up with him.
  • Flight: Using his board, Silver Surfer can fly through the air and vacuum of space at near-limitless speed.  He can fly at supersonic speed, and even faster than light speed.  He can also maneuver with great precision in any direction, as well as float in one place. Surfer can fly without his Cosmic Surfboard, projecting cosmic energy through his hands for propulsion, similar to Iron Man's repulsors. Surfer use for the first time to propulse through oil inside the Ego, allowing his to reached the surface.  He can fly through the air, at incredible speed, allowing his to take off into atmosphere, and even fly in void.
    • Levitation: In addition to flight Surfer is able to levitate off the ground without actually flying, and without using his board.
  • Self-Sustenance: The Silver Surfer does not need to eat or breathe since he absorbs life-maintaining cosmic energy directly through his skin.
  • Soul Absorption Resistance: For example has withstood the Soul Stone, has more than enough spare life force, and not even the stealing tongue of the Wraith Queen mind managed to effect the Silver Surfer, and most impressively he has resisted being absorbed by Mephisto.  Mephisto did manage to steal Silver Surfer’s soul once, but the Surfer managed to recover it.  The only time Silver Surfer's soul was completely taken away was by Thanos who owned the Infinity Gauntlet and used the Soul Stone. Although the Soul Stone failed to absorb Silver Surfer's soul, although Thanos was later able to use the Soul Stone to remove the souls of the Silver Surfer and Drax the Destroyer after the stone was placed within the gauntlet.
  • Power Absorption Immunity: Due to his cosmic sensibilities, his superhuman abilities can't be absorb. As demonstrated went Rouge's absorbing powers did not affect him.
  • Infrared Undetectability: Surfer do not emanate body heat. This allows him to be invisible for enemies with infrared vision and infrared scans.
  • Cosmic Awareness: His cosmic sense can allow him to comprehend rules of the universe others would find incomprehensible, as well as being able to sense energy concentration anywhere in the universe, sense a human trapped in a falling capsule, read the spark of electrons and surge of chemicals in people, feel the culture of Earth being stolen, and being able to sense that Mephisto was up to something.  He can also determine the nature of new energy sources, locations, and determine the nature of an energy source and who the beings who created it were.  Silver surfer can sense pure consciousness, and sensed Galactus rising 93 million miles away from the sun.  Silver Surfer was able to sense the weakness of Gladiator.  While in a state of powerlessness, he stated he could've sensed Johnny Storm's death from halfway across the universe.  Silver Surfer was able to sense the deaths of billions of beings being killed by Thanos.  His Cosmic Awareness can also see as far back as the previous universe as he saw Galactus' origin.  He also managed to feel an imbalance in the Power Cosmic, and the High Evolutionary with the Silver Surfer's Power Cosmic was surprised with how much cosmic awareness the Surfer had and how much knowledge he gained so quickly and was able to use the cosmic awareness to find and call out to Galactus' ship across the universe.
    • Cosmic Senses: The Silver Surfer has certain cosmic-energy enhanced perceptions which enable him, through concentration, to become aware of the patterns of energy anywhere in the world.  These abilities allow him far-ranging vision (in space he can see people clearly over a light year away), the ability to see subatomic particles, superhuman hearing, the ability to detect fields, traces, and concentrations of pure forms of energy and discern their natures.  The Surfer learnt quite a lot of Earth culture due to his cosmic senses, and he also found the greatest ice cream in the universe, felt billions of beings on a planet, and was able to detect new life forms and determine their abilities.  Currently the abilities of the Surfer surpass even those of Stardust.
      • Cosmic Sight: Silver Surfer's vision is improved, allowing him to see farther than a normal human. He can change vision between visible spectra, infrared vision, can see signatures / paths of psionic energy, adjusts his vision to continuous brightness, and can see all things up to the “nanoscopic scale”.  He can see through illusions, as strong as the Stranger's, a cosmic entity that is of the same class as Galactus.  He can see beyond sub-atomic levels.  He is able to detect and track Thanos' teleportation path, which is so advanced that the Surfer describes him as a rival to Galactus' level of technology, he can perceive dimensional things that mortals cannot, and can see what's in the universe even if it is billions of light-years away while keeping its clarity perfectly.
        • Cosmic Vision: Can perceive time as one, watching the past, present, and future at once, and can project this effect for others to see.
      • Cosmic Hearing: Silver Surfer is capable of hearing sounds from a far greater distance than any human. Silver Surfer can know that the person he's talking to is a Skrull in the form of a human just from hearing their heartbeat, and can hear whispers from Earth while on the moon, as well as being able to “hear heartbeats from a light year away”'.
  • Cosmic Energy Manipulation: The Silver Surfer wields "the power cosmic," absorbing and manipulating the universe's ambient cosmic energies, for a a variety of effects Imbued with the Power Cosmic, the Silver Surfer can manipulates near-limitless cosmic energy, can gather, channel, and manipulate large quantities of Cosmic Energy.  Based on cumulative evidence from beings with similar magnitudes of power and his own feats, the Surfer's maximum power output ranges from the casual planetoid/planet and planet level, to the level of a compact star, and plausibly, by employing his ability to channel cosmic energy, and by assimilating another being into himself, to solar system level without getting overloaded (presumably still accounting for a solar system's destruction on his own power).  The Silver Surfer has also regularly faced opponents such as Thor and Beta Ray Bill, who destroyed a gigantic star-dwarfing portal as an extreme high-end feat.
    • Energy Absorption and Manipulation: The absorption of electromagnetic energy is the base of the Surfer's life and power. The Silver Surfer has complete control of the four fundamental forces of the universe, reaching nearly any effect he desires. As a result, the Surfer can absorb, manipulate and discharge tremendous amounts of energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The Silver Surfer has claimed several times to hold enough power to easily shatter planets.  The Surfer's incredible powers also surpass Nova while he held the entirety of the Nova Force and Quasar, with sufficient force to casually destroy planets, and a large fraction of a structure whose size easily dwarfed Earth.  Upon utilizing his ability to channel vast amounts of cosmic energy, and by merging his essence with another being as means of connection with the Uni-Lord, he could destroy an entire solar system.  Currently, at maximum, his beams are capable of almost killing Ravenous, equaling Thanos, and hurting Thor who was wearing Asgardian armor.  Additional abilities include: Erecting force fields, phasing through solid matter, using the build-up of energy within himself to increase his strength, creating stable black holes, creating a compact star while extremely weakened, creating solid energy often in the forms of a cocoon or barrier, restabilizing and recharging a star, accelerating the evolution of lifeforms on a planet-wide scale, seeing the past by peeling back the layers of time, time travel, trans-dimensional travel, bestowing limited cosmic powers to others, telepathically reading minds, casting illusions, temporarily animating the inanimate and sharing a portion of his power and consciousness with it, and emphatically influencing human emotion and sensation.  The Surfer also possesses the ability to suppress or absorb the powers of other beings, making them temporarily or permanently unable to use them, as he did once with the Hulk.  He can heal living beings, even if they are near-death. He cannot, however, raise the dead.
      • Optic Blast: The Silver Surfer is able to use his cosmic energy to project powerful cosmic energy beams from his eyes. These beams are extremely deadly, it was strong enough to completely disintegrate Cable's Cybernetic Arm.
      • Matter Manipulation: The Silver Surfer can alter matter by rearranging molecules. He can also change the state of matter, such as making solids into gas.  Transmutation helps the Surfer escape traps and prisons, and can also be used to make an enemy's weapons inactive. He is able to bend his own molecular structure so as to transform himself to appear human.
  • Cosmic Healing: He can heal living beings (though he cannot raise the dead).  He managed to heal a bullet wound, healed Carla from multiple bullet wounds, healed Syrrh from a blaster wound, and healed the massive blaster wound of a creatures.[citation needed] The Silver Surfer managed to heal a Watcher, offered Alicia Masters, a blind woman, a one-touch view of the world, although not permanent, temporarily modified the chemistry of a drug-addicted woman's body to remove drugs from her system, and cured thousands of plagues at the molecular level.  Even if Silver Surfer cannot raise people from the dead, he can heal people who are on the verge of death.
  • Size Manipulation: Silver Surfer is able to use the Power Cosmic to manipulate his size. Silver Surfer managed to shrink to sub-atomic size and enter the Microverse, and exit to return to normal size.  The Silver Surfer even managed to shrink to such a small size that, to him, atoms were the size of "planets ...then solar system" to escape a black hole.  Silver Surfer can change the size of other people and things, for example he managed to bring Metropolis and all its inhabitants back to their normal size.
  • Teleportation: Silver Surfer has displayed the ability to teleport.  Silver Surfer also showed that he is able to teleport others, for example he managed to teleport all the ones who were on Sanctuary, while they were inside a black hole.
    • Portal Creation: Silver Surfer can create portals and gates in order to transport to another location. For example, he managed to create a portal, through which they passed "Three Billion Ships" to the new planet which they called “New Newhaven.
    • Dimensional Travel: Silver Surfer has shown the ability to teleport or travel through dimensions.  Silver Surfer managed to enter in Mephisto's Realm - to save Shalla Bal, managed to travel in the dimension of the Other, and even managed to travel in the Singularity (a dimension that literally exist before the universe by flying into a quasar).  Also Silver Surfer stated that he can resume his path to any plans of reality and existence he been to before.
  • Intangibility: After reconstituting himself following his "death" battling Knull, the Silver Surfer became intangible. While he is unable to interact with physical objects, he can still affect them with his Power Cosmic and can merge with other living creatures in a manner similar to a symbiote.
  • Astral Projection:  The Surfer can project his astral form outside of his physical body, when in astral form he can perceive and interact with other beings made of spirit, even causing them harm.  The Surfer claimed that he could not be harmed in the Astral Plane as it was the source of the Power Cosmic.  The Surfer and Mephisto battle in their astral forms.
    • Possession: When Silver Surfer is in astral form he can possess people. He has managed to possess Alicia Masters and give her the power to fight Agatha Harkness (who was possessed by Mephisto).
  • Soul Manipulation: By channeling his cosmic power, Silver Surfer can enter the Astral Plane, which he describes as the source of his power and where he was able to destroy the soul of an enemy.  Surfer can resist his soul from being absorbed.
  • Telekinesis: Using his cosmic power, Silver Surfer can lift objects with his mind.  His telekinesis allows him to deconstruct weapons and objects, to throw massive space debris at both Aegis and Tenebrous, and surround and hold Millenius with nearby wreckage and send him to the core of a planet.
  • Elemental Manipulation: Thanks to the Power Cosmic, Silver Surfer can manipulate the elements, these include:
    • Pyrokinesis: Generate heat, as well as create and manipulate fire.  Silver Surfer can raise the temperature of its flames to the point where it burns hotter than a Nova.
    • Aerokinesis: Generate, control and manipulate air and gases. When Dr. Doom had the powers of Silver Surfer, he managed to create a cyclone with which he attacked Human Torch, and destroyed a certain area of a forest.
    • Hydrokinesis: Generate, control and manipulate water.
    • Cryokinesis: Generate, control and manipulate ice, snow, and cold temperatures. When Dr. Doom had the powers of Silver Surfer, he managed to freeze the Human Torch, temporarily extinguishing its flame, and turning a tropical island into a frozen desert, with very low temperatures and covered in ice and snow "for 24 hours."  
    • Chlorokinesis: Generate, control and manipulate plants and vegetation.  When Dr. Doom had the powers of the Silver Surfer, he managed to control a tree from a distance to attack the Fantastic Four's ship.
    • Photokinesis: Generate, control and manipulate light.  When Silver Surfer and Dawn Greenwood entered a universe cover in dark, and as soon as the darkness began to consume them, Silver Surfer managed to “burn brighter than 10 suns.”
    • Chromatokinesis: Silver Surfer can also change the color of objects, people, etc.  For example, in memory of his girlfriend Dawn Greenwood, Silver Surfer changed the color of the Power Cosmic to red with black dots.
    • Gravitikinesis: Silver Surfer can make objects or people heavier or lighter, as well as making things fall apart.  His gravity manipulation can also negate gravitational disturbances and has a planetary range.
    • Atmokinesis: Silver Surfer can use the power cosmic to influence and control the weather. When Dr. Doom had the powers of Silver Surfer he managed to create a storm that covered part of New York.

Abilities

• As Norrin Radd, the Surfer was a scientist, a dreamer, and something of a philosopher, skills which he sometimes finds quite useful. Surfer, has shown mastery of Zenn-Lavian 'hypno disciplines' which allow him to hypnotize his enemies long enough to deal with them even when bereft of the Power Cosmic.  The Surfer, however, is only an average hand-to-hand combatant, depending almost entirely upon his cosmic powers in battle. During his time on Sakaar in the arena, the savage has proven to be an aggressive hand-to-hand fighter, relying on vicious offensive tactics in the absence of his cosmic power.  He has used his cosmic board as a long shield in combat and has adopted both a spiked mace and double-handed sword as his offensive weapons.

Equipment

•  Cosmic Surfboard: When flying, the Silver Surfer uses a construct which resembles an earthly surfboard. This "board" is made with the same silvery material (The Galactic Glaze) that composes the Surfer's body, thus making the board indestructible. Few forces aside from the power cosmic itself can affect it, and if it is somehow damaged, the Surfer can easily repair it in an instant as well as being able to form additional boards from his body.  The board is psionically linked with the Surfer's mind in some unknown fashion, and it follows his commands instantly. It apparently taps cosmic energy in much the same fashion as the Surfer himself, and although the Surfer could theoretically use the power cosmic to fly without his board, the construct enables him to do so without expending any of his own energy. The Surfer generally limits his speed to Mach 10 (ten times the speed of sound) within the outer layers of a planet's atmosphere, can attain 99.99% the speed of light in regular space, and can exceed light-speed within hyperspace. The Silver Surfer is also able to trap living matter into his Surfboard for extended periods of time, or even destroy living matter within the board itself.

 

Battle Breakdown: We have one of the DC Universe most powerful and dangerous villains going up against the Marvel Universe's greatest and most powerful cosmic hero.  IMO, this is an interesting matchup.  Both of these characters are incredibly powerful.

As always, who do you guys think takes it?  Imperiex or Silver Surfer?

I hope you guys enjoy this fight and I'll see you all next time.  PEACE!!!

[GuessWhat]

You put in some excellent effort explaining the powers of the Silver Surfer. Even though, I like the Silver Surfer, I would have to give this matchup to Imperiex. I think Imperiex's ruthlessness would get Norrin "deleted" because he is timid sometimes and doesn't really show his full powers. Imperiex's ability to induce a big bang would devastate the Surfer and Norrin would just be sitting there contemplating how he couldn't save  x, y, and z while Imperiex just keeps ending and staring the universe over and over again.

He definitely is.

As a matter, years ago in an interview, the great Stan Lee said his favorite DC Comics character was in fact Lobo.
