re: Official Comic Book Hero Tournament (Round III) Results In!

Do a test: Flip a light switch and exhale at the same time. How long was the light on before you finished exhaling?

That's how long Black Bolt would have been dead as soon as the fight started

---

When you get hit, you exhale. All he has to do is make the smallest little peep and she's off of him.

Although why you'd want that...

Anyway, that gives him a second to gather a proper blast. She dead.

What you seem to be disregarding is that even without focusing his powers inward he has superhuman durability. I'm pretty sure he could take one lick from WW

I'm a marvel guy, and I think it's ruhtarded that DC has these characters that seemingly can't be beat. WW can fly at half the speed of light? But why stop there??? Let's give her these arm bands that can absorb a nuclear blast!!!! Hey, you know what else would be cool??? Lets give her a lasso! The ultimate weapon! Brilliant!
So WW has all these powers given to her by gods, but yet she isn't a god tier character? And she's more powerful than Marvel's character who actually is a god but whose weapon "isn't noble enough" for her? Oh sorry, let me put down this hammer cuz ima beat you with this lasso. Ruhdicilous.
Batman is lame. Superman is lame. Wonder Woman is lame. Flash is lame. Green Lantern is the worst.
But I change my vote to WW because this is a gladiator-style fight in an arena with no holding back. And apparently WW is the blue beetle with boobs and her arm bands would probably fight on their own and win even if she was unconscious and bleeding to death.
My real question is why stop at half the speed of light? Why not just let her fly at the speed of light? "Whoa now, hold on there, Billy. We all know women can't fly at the speed of light. We better dial that back a little bit" "Sure thing, boss, how about half the speed of light?" "Much better, son, let's go with that."
FTR I made Billy up as a fictitious writer of WW and that conversation never happened. Billy can also fly at twice the speed of light and has the ability to project whatever he thinks as long as he thinks it backwards and is wearing his special toe ring that is the most powerful object in the entire universe unless he comes into contact with the color yellow in which case he only needs to know he's touching yellow to get past that.



TLDR version: I'm pissed but I'm voting for WW.

Actually WW survived the nuclear blast because of her durability, not because of her bracelets. But I guess that's semantics

I mean, I'm still going to play to the integrity of the tournament, but this is just plain funny.

That's why I said Superman being a genius was like icing on the cake. There was no need for that. There are other genius characters like Batman and Cyborg, there's no need for Superman to be a genius. But: Superman.

Like Shazam too, his very first power:

quote:

S for the Wisdom of Solomon As Shazam/Captain Marvel, Billy has instant access to a vast amount of scholarly knowledge, including most known languages and sciences. He has exceptional photographic recall and mental acuity, allowing him to read and decipher hieroglyphs, recall everything he has ever learned, and solve long mathematical equations. He also has a great understanding of divine phenomena in the mortal world. The wisdom of Solomon provides him with counsel and advice in times of need. In early Captain Marvel stories, Solomon's power also gave Marvel the ability to hypnotize people.

Just dumb.

So you're painting anything else as illogical. Just like the Beetle debate. That's just whiny.

---

Maybe I should've clarified it by saying for me personally, the only logical outcome is a WW win.

But either way, it isn't any more "whiny" than not voting for someone because you think the source material/creators made a certain character too powerful, and/or to base your arguments in contrast with the said source material/creators.

Yeah that sounds better. It sound like a declaration before.

I think people might vote based on that knowledge, knowledge filled with holes. And we're probably all guilty of that at some point in this tournament. I never made a vote against someone BECAUSE they were too powerful. That was just the argument about whether or not certain things would play out specifically in that way.

I guess I'll just stay with my wonder woman vote based on the assumption that the version of wonder woman under consideration is the mega powerful, 50 different super powers wonder woman.

Even if the BB is innately tough enough to survive a few punches and get his force field up she's likely so overpowered she can just survive a nuclear blast or journey into a black hole and crush his force fields with her labia.
