    We all know that Darwin can survive anything, as we saw that when Hela touched him, he turned into a god so he would not die.

    So my question is, can anyone/anything. really beat Darwin?

    I know you guys are probably thinking I'm a troll, but I'm genuinely intrigued by Darwin.

    EDITED: The title so people would actually post.

    Wouldn't his body just adapt to their powers?

    Feat wise, the most powerful mutant would either be HoM Wanda or Mad Jim Jaspers. Stable minded Legion, Adult Franklin Richards and Jammie Braddock deserve some recognition as well.

    He adapted to Hela's touch by becoming a god.

    That's why I created this thread, I have no-idea. His body is meant to adapt to anything, so I wanted to know who or what would kill him.

    @citizensentry: Doesn't answer my question. Hela was neither warping reality nor tearing him apart on a subatomic level.

    I mean, if Wanda wished "No more Darwin", can Darwin adapt to that and continue to exist? I know how ridiculous that sounds alright.

    He would probably just gain a new power called absolute existence. (completely theoretical, but possible).

    hela isn't a "god" but an asgardian and asgardians can die. "controlling your own existence" has no resistance to universal to omniversal warping.

    How does being a god = can bend reality to save himself? What kind of logic is that lol? Becoming a god was by modifying his physical attributes, not cosmic.

    hela isn't a "god" but an asgardian and asgardians can die. "controlling your own existence" has no resistance to universal to omniversal warping.

    "Most recently, X-Factor (once again under the control of Jamie Madrox) journeyed to Las Vegas on a mission to rescue Pip the Troll from Hela, the goddess of the dead. Whilst there, and with assistance from Thor, the team battled Hela and her Undead Niffleheim Warriors.

    During the battle, Hela attempted to use her death touch on Darwin, but on account of his mutant abilities, he was able to adapt to and survive the touch by becoming a death god (or at least someone with the power of a god) himself. With this new found power, Darwin was able to defeat Hela and the team escaped with Pip the Troll at their side".

    Hela, is a goddess*

    @citizensentry: she's a god in asgard but her lineage is that of an asgard and probably a frost giant and we have seen asgardians and frost giants die. they just have higher capabilities than most human have.

    again, the basic asgardian have no protection against reality warpers.

    @citizensentry: I just read through a few threads. 'Wank' is not a swear word when not used in a sexual context.

    Back on topic, if Darwin becoming an Asgardian = Darwin can bend reality to save himself, then I can freely say Batman knocking out a random thug = Batman knocking out the entire Justice League.

    According to sources, Darwin is starting to show signs of Power opposition

    Example: Darwin would develop Reality Anchoring when someone uses Reality Warping.

    According to the sources of Reactive Adaption. which in association gives the user an application of Power opposition and Reactive Invulnerability.

    Isn't that what Comic Vine is all about?

    The Writers say Hulk has limitless strength,

    Users of Comic Vine say he doesn't.

    better yet, hulk was written to have limitless strength but his numerous showing contradict it. are you going to argue that hulk with limitless strength can fight eternity then ?

    @citizensentry: no, the point would be comic viners use feats to argue, not assumptions. most people here don't even believe what is not shown on panel.

    actual writer confirmation can also be shown feats in panel not merely what the writer puts on his dialogue cloud in the panel.

    so are you still going argue that darwin can adapt to reality warping ?

    So even though Writers have shown that Hulk has survived two blasts from the HOTU. And K.O'd Galactus, you guys will just say 'Oh that's PIS it's unusable'

    Not at all. Darwin's powers are purely defensive, not offensive. He is not comparable to the mutants capable of reality warping.

    @kyrees said:

    His method of "adapting" to the Hulk was to teleport away, if memory serves.

    If that's his way of surviving Hulk, he's not resisting a reality warper.

    I Feel like a lot of comments are ting logical assumptions.

    Darwin’s abilities are most likely greater than they are written , the fact that’s he reacts before even experiencing things , like how he instantly learned a new language, means that his powers are based in some precognitive or even omniscience abilIty.

    And he powers aren’t bound by the laws of reality just to survive. He should either become reality, become aware of the change, or become above reality.

    Darwin is potentially the most powerful mutant because his power doesn’t require he be aware
