Darkseid and Thanos have once again decided to work as a team and attempt to take over Earth and it's heroes. They want to wipe Earth of it resources and possibly even recruit villains to fight by their sides. Their past attempts by themselves have seemed to fail miserably. This time they believe their master plan could not only take over Earth but more than likely take over the entire multiverse. However, the two faces of evil may not get away with their plan so easily. Two of Earth's most powerful heroes have heard about the evil doings of Darkseid and Thanos. Silver Surfer and Dr. Manhattan have taken matters into their own hands to save Earth and return it back to it's normal state. Can the two heroes get the job done or will Earth crumble under Darkseid and Thanos' evil plan?


damn shoulda used monarch captain atom instead of manhattan.

So Darkseid has the Anti-life Equation and Thanos has the Infinity Gauntlet?
Definitely voting for team 1.

nah i changed it. i already figure most ppl will choose team 1 no matter what the case so it doesn't really matter. lol

[Shoggoth breeder]

True

[.Big Game James.]

Doctor Manhattan is the Watchmen-verse version of Captain Atom, so it should make no difference

yeah it does. it's kinda like the whole hulk loose cannon thing.

Eh, this is not too far from a rumble. I'll give it a "C", though, since there's at least a story.

And since you seem to making an arc with Darkseid and Thanos, BGJ, may I suggest stronger opponents? No one you've matched them up with so far stands anywhere near a chance against their combined might and smarts. You'd probably have to match them up against a virtually ominpotent enemy, but even then they may be able to strategize enough to make it interesting.

Or better yet, have Darkseid and Thanos fight opponents separately. You'd still have to find good matchups for them, though.

a partially fed Big G and COIE Anti-Monitor v. Pre-Crisis DS and Thanos w/ The Infinity Gauntlet???

then you have DS and Thanos losing bigtime!

Cosmic Armor Supes and Rune King Thor vs. DS and Thanos?

That's not a bad one right?

[Garland]

Silver Surfer is not powerful enough

Doctor Manhattan's another fish altogether. He is quite powerful, but not enough to make up the difference between himself and Surfer.

[AVP vs The Terminator]

Pre-Crisis Darkseid and Infinity Gauntlet Thanos VS Superboy Prime and Black Adam.

How about that?

Noooo.

[force_echo]

1: Redemption X is completely retarded.

2: It depends on Surfer. If Surfer is mad and is, mentally, at full fighting capacity- Surfer can take out Darkseid, Manhattan can at least keep Thanos busy, then Surfer returns to take out Thanos.

Pre-Crisis Darkseid and Infinity Gauntlet Thanos VS Superboy Prime and Black Adam.

How about that?

i'm putting cosmic armor supes on a higher level than superboy prime.

[.Big Game James.]

Noooo.

my orginal setup was ale seid and ig thanos v. surfer and manhattan. the first post was negative. sb-prime and adam won't cut it either. oops that was posed to be a reply to avp v terminators post. my bad

In no way does Surfer have the power to take out pre crisis darkseid. Darkseid is massively smarter and stronger in every way. His Omega beams alone would strip Surfer of his powers and leave him suffocating in space. Saying Silver Surfer can beat Darkseid is like saying Surfer can beat Galactus one on one. (While Darkseid is no as powerful as Galactus, the distance in power of Darkseid and Surfer is clearly large.) Darkseid has created his own beings like Strayne that have shown to be just as powerful as Surfer. So I ask how could Surfer overpower one of the strongest and most brillant minds in DC or Marvel?

I had been observing this for a time, and saw that none of my fellow feretters touched on the possibilities accruing to Manhattan and team. While lesser in terms of power, lets not forget some things: Powers are only subject to situations in the comic verse, and perhaps even in real life.

That said, Seid and Thanos will 'probably' win. I say 'probably' because their existence, as has been debated before, and hinted indirectly in comic publications and various forums, is more of an anomaly, a random, yet necessary occurance that is warranated when a little 'shake-up' in the scales is required. In that regard, I would say that they would be in one way or another 'immune' to the most potent force in this battle: Manhattan's powers. Manhattan's singular power is so over the top, and so lethal, that even both Seid and Thanos, in a direct conflict will be at par with him, if not below. The shifting of probability, and reality, with a mere thought. Although it is only basic science at work, it works fast, really fast, and it works in synchronity with Manhattan's thought. Ex: He thinks thinks Seid's ship is re-arranged into a cube, it simply is. The dissipation, re-arrangement of molecules occur at such an astounding speed of thought, that it is intantaneous. No being is beyond that. However, since Manhattan is not 'God' (ala Alan Moore), he has 'limitations' confined strictly to not what he can or can't do, but simply in the ingrained conscious in him, that he has those limitations. That is why, he was awed by the definition of 'miracle' by the end of his one time tale.

I just wanted to put that into words, so that everyone realises Manhattan's power, and not just write him off.

That said, the only thing that works in favour of Seid and Thanos, with Manhattan as an opponent is the 'grander scheme', that would allow them to effect events around their opponents, and Manhattan, even though comprehending the situation or the immediate future, would either leave the landscape of battle, leaving Surfer to get yet embarrassed again, or just 'shield certain things, and then vanish. That is the most likely outcome, when I consider Manhattan's powers and history, (not to mention, perhaps most essentially, his 'ingrained' sensibilities).

In a capsule, if this was a 'computer-calculated' match, Manhattan would almost have a step ahead, even if he doesn't win a war, he would win battles here and there, to make it a draw. (That too, I put, with his psychological limitations intact). Based on a more realistic comparison however, Seid and Thanos will likely take it.

[force_echo]

Easy, use his cosmic awareness to see that 'Seid has a weakness to Radon, then just pelts him with the stuff. Usually, he wouldn't do this because his nature isn't to use lethal methods, but like I said, if he's serious he could.
