Variation. If Human Torch was as powerful as he could be (able to reach Absolute Hot at will, without any downsides like the time limit), and Iceman (NOT. ULTIMATE. ICEMAN) explored his potential power (able to reach Absolute Cold, without any trouble), then who would win? I know that this hasn't happened before, but pretty much this: what would happen if a being with the ultimate control over heat and fire/reality were against a being with the ultimate control over cold and ice/states of water? How far would their powers go?
Fight takes places on an isolated planet the size of a supergiant. Unlimited oxygen supply. Bloodlusted.
Absolute Human Torch vs Omega Iceman
Absolute Heat = All Heat in Universe = All Energy in the Universe, he would be capable of killing the likes of Galactus with that much power. That being said, Absolute Cold = Death of the Universe = Death of Energy. As the universe will eventually die and Absolute Cold will be the killer, Iceman at Absolute Cold stomps here.
Oh, one thing to add - when Human Torch DID use Absolute Hot, it was to restore the dimensions, so he warped time AND space. That's why I put reality in my initial post - with that power, he can do so at will. Carry on.
It isn't basic fire alone now. Besides, Iceman defends himself from fire, by moving the heat along gradients of his choice. Someone who controls fire/heat would be able to do the exact same thing with that heat, except moving it BACK so that it DOES hurt Iceman, no? After all, the heat control is exactly what HT does with his flame, and the reason why he can touch people while flamed on. So Iceman's normal defense against heat wouldn't work here...
Well they are on the opposite sides of the spectrum. I sort of see it like two of the same +- charged magnets repelling each other infinitely. They completely cancel each other out IMO." @superdemon: really can you tell my how "
No, this is not speculation, if Iceman is allowed to reach Absolute Zero, he wins. He can take on cosmic beings with power like that.
Absolute hot is the absence of all cold and visa versa. It would actually depend on who's will is stronger I think or who could reach it faster." No, this is not speculation, if Iceman is allowed to reach Absolute Zero, he wins. He can take on cosmic beings with power like that. "
No, Absolute Hot is all the energy in the universe, Absolute Cold is zero energy. Absolute Hot always loses to Absolute Cold because the universe can die while Absolute Cold cannot.
If creation ceases to exists, cold and the concept thereof ceases to exist as well. Impossible theory.
At absolute zero all molecules effectly stop existing sicne they can no longer move so absolute zero or cold is the winner here. maximum heat would just have molecules moing so fast things become unstable.
" I said the universe not creation, creation still exists it just is frozen solid. "Not if there a presence of absolute hot. It's impossible.
This is basically a classic case of irresistible force vs immovable object.
But if HT's will is stronger he could keep him subdued by maintaining absolute hot. There not much Bobby can do if he can not take physical form. But it goes both ways." It is hard to debate with hypothetical characters. But as of right now, Iceman cannot be killed. "
Will, or who can do it faster is what it boils down to IMO.
" @erik said:That is not correct. Bobby still has full access to his powers even without a body as of right now." It is hard to debate with hypothetical characters. But as of right now, Iceman cannot be killed. "But if HT's will is stronger he could keep him subdued. There not much Bobby can do if he can not take physical form.

It ultimately comes down to which hypothetical character is more powerful.

----------------------------------------------------------------->BOOOOOOOMMM!!!<-------------------------------------------------------------------
" @superdemon said:Exactly. So, IMO, this fight depends on who can reach their peak first, or who' will is strong enough to overpower the others.What can he do with his powers if cold ceases to exist? "What can Torch do if the heat exchange process is stopped? "
" @superdemon: Like I said, it is very hard to debate with hypothetical characters. "I know. Best thing to do is reason with logic.
Not quite. Torch is a thermokinetic himself - he helped Iceman by absorbing heat. Theoretically, he should be able to freeze things via the same method - he just hasn't yet. Also, melting Iceman should be counted as a defeat.
Both can absorb heat... well, actually Bobby CAN'T absorb heat. Again, his only defense is by manipulating heat along specific gradients, so that he doesn't feel it. As Johnny is the thermokinetic, he would be able to get past that defense by manipulating the heat BACK on the path to Iceman. Johnny can both absorb and project heat, meaning this would totally end up as a stalemate.

If it becomes a tug of war, the one with the greater will wins.
Due to the OP circumstances, if Johnny reached absolute hot, Bobby would still be conscious, but he would not be able to attack. In my opinion, anyway." @SuperStarKirby:@superdemon: If Bobby is still alive after he melts him and is more then capable of still attacking how does that count as a win? "
If Bobby reached absolute zero, Johnny would probably die.
Remember, absolute hot and absolute zero are theories. This is both characters at theorized temperatures." @superdemon: Why would he not be able to Attack? "
Absolute hot is a concept of temperature that postulates the existence of a highest attainable temperature of matter. Iceman can not manipulate or create physical objects at this level of temperature. Bobby is not a telepath. He would need to freeze or created solid matter to physically hurt Johnny. If Johnny actually reach absolute hot Bobby would be forced to stay as a conscious thought.
Again, this is only if Johnny can over power Bobby and actually reach absolute hot.
It's a tug of war in my opinion. Strongest, or the one with the greater will will win this fight.
Iceman would reach Absolute Zero, at AZ nothing moves at all, so AHT would not be able to draw his power from any source, nor would he, himself be able to live or move at all on the molecular level

It can go either way, dude. I say it depends on who has the greater will or strength to get to absolute hot/zero first.

Yes but Absolute hot is practically limitless. There are beings who can easliy endure Absolute 0. I say stalemate.

The theory of Absolute Zero, is not the one comics use, nothing moves at AZ, meaning nothing exists. As to exists there must me movement.

Iceman as of right now, is able to prevent the heat exchange process from happening. Whatever variable he has control over in that formula has not been explained yet. He does however have that ability right now.

It goes both ways.

Neither absolute cold nor absolute hot can exist in the same space.

Are you seriously gonna try and challenge my knowledge in science? Like iLLuturacy said, it works the other way as well. Absolute zero cannot exist if there's a source of heat because absolute zero and cold itself is an absence of heat.
Neither absolute cold nor absolute hot can exist in the same space.
