IceManML Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I gues if super agility makes you a mutant then that could count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 So according to his wiki... he's like Rainman, but with reflexes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 An active x-gene in chromosome 23 makes you a mutant. The bizarre physical autism explanation sounds fishy to me. I wouldn't stroll out in front of a Sentinel if I were him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 yeah, superpowers count, but using your rainman thing (panch), hypothetically if a human existed who could memorieze and faithfully reeanact complicted shit like circus soleil moves just by viewing them, would that negate it being a superpower, or would you consider that person metahuman? some plato shit right here! I gues if super agility makes you a mutant then that could count. metahuman, not mutant. big difference, especially in marvel U anyway - i think the old distinction was people remembering how they acquired said powers, but in the time since im sure we've had genetic anomolies that weren't necessarily mutagenic in nature...alright now im kinda fucked up on the idea too. but yeah, superhuman speed =/= being a mutant, necessarily (and vice-versa).

Panch Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Can we stop using the "meta" word when we talk about Marvel characters, please. That's a DC term. I'm getting all confused here. Until dude's origin gets retconned to mutant let's just call him superhuman. He has a special power and wears a costume. *starts feeling better, sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 nah, cause it helps with arbitrary tiers! i.e., spidey can climb walls, that's a superhuman ability. someone who can simply lift several tons, or, like captain amerca, move upwards of 50 mph, that's metahuman - it's something we can do, but way way better than a peak human can imagine. green lantern has a superpower with his ring, but no metahuman stats. perks/specs like this are essential to fanboy debates!!

Panch Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The fact that you can run 50 miles an hour or benchpress a truck makes you a superhuman in my book. Ring or no ring. I understand now that you're using the word to classify different powers, but its confusing cause the DC universe characters use it to describe anyone with powers. Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman. I think even Batman might be in that category. I forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManML Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Anyone know who won between Thanos and Darkseid? They were shown right before the story went to amalgam.. Ps: "who will win"... Dr strange-fate (dr strange, fate, professor x) or dr doomsday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 that question is apparently controversial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Darkseid wins cuz Thanos has low self esteem or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Darkseid wins cuz Thanos has low self esteem or something. Exactly. Edited August 19, 2012 by Panch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManML Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 that question is apparently controversial Yea that's garbage. But I would say Darkseid wins simply because Thanos believes there is something greater than himself even with the friken infinity gauntlet, and Darkseid worships nothing at all. So personality issues, I agree. Tho it would be awesome if Thanos would win that fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Thanos is a badass, and could take just about anybody. But Darkseid... to put this in perspective, one of the last DC vs. Marvel Crossovers involved Galactus attempting to eat Apokolips, Darkseid fucked up the Silver Surfer and stood face to face with Galactus only for Galactus to find out that Apokolips is a dead planet and thus holds no nutritional value for the devourer or worlds so he asks Darkseid why he put up such a fight when he knew his planet was inedible and Darkseid just says something to the effect of "Because no enemy will best me." Darkseid fought fucking Galactus just to make a fucking point! Show me any time Thanos has done that. Though in all fairness: while the image of Thanos being put into a police car in handcuffs came from a Hostess Fruit Pies ad, the image of Darkseid being mugged by a couple crackheads and pleading for his life is totally canon.

The NZA Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 see, im gonna need newt to weigh in here - he's current on marvel cosmic shit. Darkseid "fucking up Silver Surfer" sounds like before he got powered up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Darkseid intentionally takes a handicap when he fights Superman. Though honestly Cosmic Marvel right now is as ridiculously over-powered as late period Dragon Ball Z so maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
