Captain Atom. Haven't seen many feats from Dr. Manhattan to suggest otherwise.

Manhattan by default because he really cant be killed or knocked out by physical or scientific means.

Let's not use that kind of language here. Thanks.

The same can be said for this version of Captain Atom, who was essentially modeled after Manhattan, something that J.T. Krul stated in an interview.

@Illuminatus:I agree that has few feats but what prevents him simply BFRing atom or molecularity deconstructing him.

Then would it be a stalemate?

Pretty difficult to pull off successfully, since Atom has already demonstrated the ability to reconstitute himself.

@Army2442 said:

Pretty much. The only difference between the both of them is that Atom has displayed energy absorption. I haven't seen Manhattan do that.

@Static Shock:How about BFRing captain atom?

@Army2442 said:

Via teleportation? Atom has already displayed that in the current issue.

@Static Shock: hmm...

I concede.. but would Atom's absorption work on Manhattan?

@Army2442: I'm not sure. We don't know the limits of that ability yet.

Nobody on Earth would be left alive to find out who wins.

i would say JUST perhaps dr m,,,but to at present its a stalemate until dr m shows more.

Dr. Manhattan can't show you more. He's only appeared in Watchmen, and hasn't been in comic books since the late 80s.

@Static Shock: exactly,hence i put stalemate,because not enough info to say he wins or loses it imo.hes powerful for sure,to beat CA not sure,and not sure CA could beat him. All dr m fights are like this,nowhere near enough feats to call them.

@Spartan101: Dr. Manhattan isn't more powerful. Captain Atom showed more impressive feats in five issues than Dr. Manhattan showed in 12 issues.

@Static Shock: ? i dont remember saying he is more powerful??? i state hes powerful,but to what what level who knows and thats where the lack of feats plays it part.

Dr. Manhattan

Is it implausible that Atom could simply absorb Manhattan into his being since he exists as an energy form?

@Spartan101: Based on the way your post was worded, it looked like you were saying that Manhattan was more powerful. I'm sorry if I misread it.

I don't think so.

@Static Shock: no its ok,to me its a stalemate perhaps,CA has tons more feats,but Dr m might take some stopping. no worries.:-)

Captain Atom definitely.

Stalemate... Manhattan may not have shown impressive enough feats for the win but,He has shown the ability to reconstruct from having his intrinsic fields removed. how can you attempt to destroy someone any further than that? you cant! Im my mind it takes both molecular annihilation and Strong TP to destroy Manhattan's mind to keep him down for good.

The question is meaningless.

The amount of mass / energy in the universe would be unchanged.

How exactly will Captain atom win??

ummm no lol

@Enemybird: And how exactly would doctor M win;since in the 5 issues he appeared in;the new version of the captain has already demonstrated that he can rebuilt himself too(in issue 2)

Atom still wins.

@CitizenBane: Aaaaaaahhh that was a good series;I totally loved it.That being said I also love the current one but for different reasons.

Nathaniel.

Dr. Manhattan is supposed to be getting his own mini-series in the Before Watchmen series. Hopefully, we'll see more of what he can do.

No doubt they're going to show some amazingly powerful feat in the 5th issue of the mini series.

I still dont know who to choose he has displayed some interesting powers in nano seconds too .

Absolute stalemate. The definition of stalemate. Unless someone gets bored and re-atomises himself in a different part of the galaxy or many galaxies. Just to be done with the repetition.

Microseconds.

Captain atom wins until Dr.Manhattan show more. If Dr. Manhattan show more feats then it probably be a stalemate.

I'm saying stalemate.

Dr. M better show some feats on the Watchmen prequels...

My take on the battle was a stalemate read my post
