As a generally rule, the more powerful a character gets, the cooler they are. I mean, things like the Dark Phoenix Saga was great because it was an explosively powerful character in a universe where powerful was a dude who threw metal pipes and shit. Wolverine was cooler before he became immortal. Batman is at his best when he's skulking in the shadows taking out thugs and fighting a clown, not shooting gods with magic bullets.

I think you contradicted yourself there. First you say that more powerful = cooler, then give a bunch of examples where that isn't the case. If there are more exceptions to a rule than instances of it holding, then it's not really a rule.

I just got to say Flashpoint Batman and Joker>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Regular Batman and Joker.

D'oh. I meant "less." Typo.

 

[the chris]

cousins are allowed.

 

[zero_suit]

So how strong is Apocalypse, really? I saw the scan of him getting torn apart by Magneto and I know he jobs all the time in comics despite his reputation, but how powerful is he supposed to be?

I'm not sure but somebody on youtube argued that he could beat Galactus. That was the longest laugh I've had in awhile.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

I don't think they have the other issues on Marvel.com, so can someone explain Logan being Cable? He just ups and get psychic powers and the T/O virus?

why wouldnt Apocalypse beat Galactus?

 

[Splatt]

That's the ultimate version of Cable. It's just better if you forget it, those storylines were crap anyway.

 

[X-Frame]

Is She-Hulk going to be in the Avengers movie?

 

[bangai-o]

Is She-Hulk going to be in the Avengers movie?

o.m.g IS THIS COMFIRMED?

 

[zero_suit]

why wouldnt Apocalypse beat Galactus?

At full power, he's equal to Eternity, and Eternity>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Apocalypse.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

o.m.g IS THIS COMFIRMED?

Don't know if serious.

He just asked if she was in it, why would that imply that it was confirmed that she would be in it?

 

[Kinyou]

:lol

 

[G-Fex]

Batman's plans don't involve going ten rounds in a ring.

And if they DO involve going a round or two, there will be something set up to give him the advantage.

Batman always wins unless the writer is pulling some PIS.

He can't win a childrens card game.

 

[Wellington]

why wouldnt Apocalypse beat Galactus?

For real bro?

 

[Affeinvasion]

I just finished reading a Thanos comic where Thanos rams two planets together, one of which is loaded with nuclear warheads at the point of impact where Galactus was standing. In the aftermath Galactus is just sitting on a piece of floating debris and he's basically got some tattered clothes and he's like "yeah I'm a little bit weaker now...thanks Thanos."

 

[Chamber]

He can't win a childrens card game.

Batman with prep vs Exodia

 

[Fimbulvetr]

He can't win a childrens card game.

His deck would be made entirely out of Trap Cards.

 

[G-Fex]

Batman with prep vs Exodia

trap cards galore, convoluted rules, and heart of the cards = batman loses

 

[Wiseblade]

why wouldnt Apocalypse beat Galactus?

Ever heard of something called the Power Cosmic? It's not half bad.

 

[Freshmaker]

Batman says it is CONCEIVABLE that Cap could beat him. Not that he WOULD. It means that it is possible Cap could win. I think This means more than Batman acknowledges Cap as an equal.

This. They're the same damn character.

 

[thetechkid]

trap cards galore, convoluted rules, and heart of the cards = batman loses

Batman would bring out Armityle in one turn using your own cards against you.

 

[G-Fex]

Batman would bring out Armityle in one turn using your own cards against you.

pfft, then I'd bring out card destruction.

Who's afraid of the big bad bat?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Guys, everyone knows Batman would be awesome at Beyblades, geez

 

[thetechkid]

That would be what Batman expected, with his prep time hes basically Pegasus.

 

[goober]

I just got to say Flashpoint Batman and Joker>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Regular Batman and Joker.

Explain please. Spoilers of course.

 

[G-Fex]

That would be what Batman expected, with his prep time hes basically Pegasus.

rofl, this will be easier than I thought.

Also Cap could totally take Batman

 

[Chamber]

That would be what Batman expected, with his prep time hes basically Pegasus.

Pegasus was bitchmade.

 

[Wiseblade]

I don't see how anyone can deny Captain America beating Batman in a fight. Assuming they are equal in terms of fighting techinque, Cap has the advantage of being stronger, faster and more agile. Even if batman was able to keep the fight to a standstill, Captain America 's resistance to exhaustion would keep him sharper for longer, netting him the win.

 

[SUPREME1]

Some would say that the Gamma Radiation just kick started what was already within Bruce...

That would make him a mutant. Hulk is not a mutant.

Right?

Batamn could just hire a sniper.

 

[Pandaman]

Batamn could just hire a sniper.

if he pays the sniper to shoot at himself, cap would jump infront of the bullet and batman gets an easy out from his rule.

 

[Htown]

Batamn could just hire a sniper.

The sniper didn't kill cap, even without his shield and with his hands literally tied behind his hack.

 

[El Sloth]

The sniper didn't kill cap, even without his shield and with his hands literally tied behind his hack.

Yeah, but then whats-her-face did. I'm sure Bats could do the same. If he was into that whole killing thing. But he's probably fine with just the shitty shot.

Spoiler

I'm just messing. Cap would win every time.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Joker would stop Cap killing Bats anyway, if Cap felt like he had to do that. Joker doesn't want anyone messing with his Dork Knight.

 

[G-Fex]

Cap has fought Nazis

 

[bangai-o]

i used to wonder how well a Gundam could do against Hulk.

 

[G-Fex]

A giant smash able mech thing? Pfft, it's scrap.

Even Captain Kirk beat gundams with his Enterprise.

 

[thetechkid]

Even Captain Kirk beat gundams with his Enterprise.

The Enterprise wouldn't last two seconds.

 

[bangai-o]

Even Captain Kirk beat gundams with his Enterprise.

they are made from gundanium alloy. Hardly smashable. Its like building a robot out of adamantium.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

The Enterprise wouldn't last two seconds.

lol.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I wonder if Hulk could break into the TARDIS. I doubt it.

 

[thetechkid]

There is no way a Gundam could ever beat the hulk.

 

[G-Fex]

The Enterprise wouldn't last two seconds.

It beat the child piloted mechs, the enterprise was stabbed by a giant sword but it used it's magnetic fields to pull in the gundam things then immediately threw them back and then phaser'd and torpedo'd the shit out of them.

So the Hulk can fight Metallo?

 

[hydragonwarrior]

So I've gotten into mangas pretty easily, but often when I read a comic book at the store I don't get the same kind of hook. What's the diff that separates a manga from a comic?

 

[bangai-o]

There is no way a Gundam could ever beat the hulk.

A Gundam can withstand the impact of nuclear strikes. They are built for defense. Compounded with firepower to wither Hulk down and then speed and melee. Also taking the fight into zero gravity i dont see Hulk on offense for very long.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Hulk has actually been killed on several occasions, only to be saved by some cosmic power.

He was killed by Thanos (along with most of earth's heroes) when he possessed the Infinity Gauntlet.

He was killed by Doom (along with most of the Xmen/Avengers/FF/Spiderman/Magneto) during the Secret Wars when Doom possessed the power of Galactus and the Beyonder.

He was killed by Red Hulk (who also killed Silver Surfer, Dr. Strange, Namor, Tiger Shark, Baron Mordo, and Terrax in the same issue, lol) before being brought back by the Grandmaster.



And yeah, the Infinity Gauntlet can't be the most powerful artifact simply because The Living Tribunal performed a cosmic nerf on them like an intergalactic MMO admin.

Death is but an inconvenience for Hulk.

 

[thetechkid]

It beat the child piloted mechs, the enterprise was stabbed by a giant sword but it used it's magnetic fields to pull in the gundam things then immediately threw them back and then phaser'd and torpedo'd the shit out of them.

Gundams take on whole fleets ships all the time, the enterprise doesn't even sound like a threat when they're hit with barrage of attacked many times larger than that.

 

[Hot Coldman]

How many parsecs does it take for Hulk to do the Kessel Run though

 

[Slayven]

Explain please. Spoilers of course.

Spoilers for Flashpoint Batman

Spoiler

In Flashpoint, Bruce died instead of his parents. His father became Batman and his mother became the Joker, specializing in killing parents and kidnapping kids. Oh and Thomas Wayne Batman is hardcore, he won't just threaten to drop criminals off buildings, he WILL drop them.
