Batman- better fighter, smarter, utility belt
Ironman- too much raw power
Surfer- too many different abilities
Green Lantern- much more powerful
Flash-Hulk can’t do anything to him
Dont know enough about Namor or Aquaman to comment.
Xavier-even if he can’t mind control Joker he could shut down his brainwaves
Ra’s-better fighter, smarter[/quote]
Punisher has gadgets of his own. But I think I’d give it to Batman, too. Although, Punisher has a lot more weapons of the explosive variety than Batman does. That coupled with his willingness to kill the person he’s fighting (I don’t think he’d be trying to kill Batman, though) levels the playing field a bit, so it may go either way.
If there’s prep time, I’d put Batman above Iron Man. He’d use an EMP or a strong magnet or something and immobilize Iron Man. An impromptu fight, Batman can’t compete with the powers of Stark’s suit, he’s only human after all and his utility belt weapons wouldn’t do much to help.
After reading Wiki, it actually sounds like Martian Manhunter and Silver Surfer are pretty similar… I’m not sure who would win, but I’m sure it would be a good fight. My Marvel bias makes me think Silver Surfer and the power cosmic would be stronger than MMH.
You sure Green Lantern is more powerful? Magneto has done some crazy stuff like suspending Asteroid M for example. That can’t be easy… I also think any fight with Magneto depends on the setting. Are they in a place with a lot of metal around? Like a city? Or are they in the middle of the desert? It makes a difference in my opinion.
I’m not sure what Flash would do to beat Hulk, either. His attacks wouldn’t be strong enough to really hurt Hulk. I think that would be a stalemate. “Stupid fast man won’t stand still!!!”
I think Namor is one of the stronger Marvel characters. Like with strength that would be on par with Thor or Abomination. But I think Aquaman is also that strong, but not if he’s out of the water. So I guess it depends on the setting again. Are they in or out of the water?
Prof. X and any other strong telepath pretty much owns most all DC characters.
Don’t know much about Ra’s as Ghul, so I couldn’t comment on that last matchup.[/quote]
Iron Mans armour is immune to EMPs and magnetism.
Green Lanterns can move faster than light, react quick enough to fight kryptonians, manipulate matter, open wormholes and have sufficient strength to move the moon and 1/3 the earth. They are a class above Magneto.
Flash could vibrate through the Hulks molecules causing him massive damage. Also possess the Infinite mass punch and has been stated by wonder woman to hit harder than Superman. Flash is a horribly overpowered character.[/quote]
As for Iron Man and Batman, I may have used bad examples, but the point still stands. He’d find some creative way outside of the suits defenses to immobilize Stark or draw him into something he couldn’t get out of. I may be giving too much credit to Batman, but I honestly didn’t think that was possible any more.
I didn’t know Lanterns were THAT powerful, I knew they could do some of that stuff, but not all of it. I also think you’re underestimating Magneto’s capabilities a little. He can form wormholes, augment his strength, seemingly create objects from latent metal floating in the air/stuck in the ground/floating in water, create electromagnetic pulses, his forcefield can protect him from nuclear blasts and allow him safe travel through space, and the extent of the total weight he’s capable of moving hasn’t been specified that I know of. I don’t think it would be as much as a Lantern could move, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were close. I also still think the setting plays a part, as well. But after some research, I’d give it to Green Lantern, too.
I guess Green Lantern vs Phoenix would be interesting, since GL is more powerful than I thought he was, may be on par to give Phoenix a run for her money. Depending on how much power Phoenix has at the time, since the Phoenix Force itself I’m sure is more powerful than a Lantern would be able to compete with, but the person wielding the force never actually has the capabilities to use the full extent of its power. So it would depend on which Phoenix it is at what point in a specific story arc that would be used.
As far as Flash and Hulk, I’m not convinced that Hulk couldn’t take those tactics that you described (because he’s taken a lot of punishment of different types over the years), but we’re getting into too much speculation about fabricated people and their abilities if we get into that so I’ll concede that Flash would probably win if they fought.
