Ronan vs Major Force
Major Force holds the advantage in physical stats. But, Ronan will not have that kind of battle with him. Ronan's shields can block Major Force's energy blasts and dark matter blasts, as well. If Ronan wanted to, he could teleport Major Force away for an easy win, stop him with a barrier of absolute zero to incapacitate him, or create a localized black hole to suck him in.

" I think Vance's point is that Ronan barely ever does such things. Most of the scans of him being impressive are far and between from the way he actually fights on a regular basis. Even while totally outclassed, he's shown the intention to slug it out with opponents or flat out blast them rather than use his abilities intelligently (something he is capable of). "Yeah, but at the same time, Major Force doesn't really fight with a clear head, either. I'm pretty Ronan is smarter than he is.

He very likely is smarter, but Major Force's style is brutally effective (most of the time, at least) and Ronan has no way of actually knowing the Major's power level to begin with. It's quite possible Major Force will end up punching Ronan into unconsciousness before he gets the opportunity to realise that muscling him won't get him anywhere." @Morpheus_ said:

"And, he doesn't use it more than Major Force does? If this is the case, I don't really buy that.

"Hmmm... Sounds fair, I guess.

By the way, I read Battle for Bludhaven today. Captain Atom one-shooting Major Force was nasty.
He may use his intellect more than Major Force but intellect isn't even a factor.Major Force could have Ronan down with his weakest punch.Ronan isn't really fast enough for his intellect to really matter.Of course he uses it well in a comic.Comics hold characters still while Ronan thinks of something." @Colt Python XVII said:

"Understandable. LOL.

" @Morpheus_: It's been awhile since I read Battle for Bludhaven, and from what I can remember, the reason why Captain Atom was breached by that Monitor is because his indestructible metal skin was weakened due to crossing through dimensional barriers. I remember scientists saying that after attempting to seal Captain Atom's cracks. Is what I'm saying spot-on, or am I missing something? "You are spot-on. They actually comment on it twice, if memory serves right.
" @Static Shock: By the way, Static, have you read all the issues Monarch appeared in, during Countdown? His page seems to be lacking in that factor. "I did. But, since someone already submitted info for them, I bothered not to touch it.
Also in that scan where Ronan beats the Avengers that's really funny seeing as how two of those characters have beaten him solo or with no help from a team.

"Maybe he didn't show his powers before Annihilation, but currently in many comics he showed great powers. Mostly, matter manipulation and resistance to matter manipulation. I've seen it in his mini and currently in Annihilators. Ronan didn't have much more battles than that. I acctually remember only two other battles:
-with Ravenous (I barely belive that mm would be effective on him, since he is pretty much Herald)
-Imperial Guards attack on his weding, but here he was suprised.
I would say that there is at least 50% chance for Ronan using matter manipulation in character.
If Ronan use his intellect he can pull a win. His intellect is ranked has gifted they are people who has shown incredilbe feat of intelligence with that elvel of intellect people such has Overmind, Norman Osborn and Alex from the runway.
Unless his matter manipulation is at the Quantum level, it's not going to work. Captain Atom has already shown an immunity to molecular manipulation because of his Quantum energies protecting him, and Major Force is powered by the same source. The only person who was able to manipulate Force's molecular structure was Resurrection Man, and that was because he possessed Quantum telekinesis, allowing him to manipulate matter at the Quantum level.I would say that there is at least 50% chance for Ronan using matter manipulation in character.

2.You mean, that Major Victory already resist molecular manipulation or that no powerfull man used it on him?
3.Sorry, IDK how good in that kind of manipulation should user be to say that he is doing it in quantum level. Can You explain it?
4.In Annihilators #1, Doctor Dredd was able to cut Surfer, while he wasn't able to do the same to Ronan in A#2. IMO Ronan's mm is greater than Surfer when it comes to use it directly on opponent (the same with resisting it), but Surfer can affect much larger area, create items or affect his opponents from larger distance. Also Ronan already affected tech that was created to fight with Celestials, imprison Nova (herald) or age people.
" @czarny_samael: To clarify, the only reason Dredd wasn't able to cut Ronan was because Ronan actually played it smart after seeing he was able to cut the Surfer, therefore he didn't bullrush him, he used the Universal Weapon on him. As opposed to the Surfer, who, in # 1, somehow thought it was a good idea to lunge at him headfirst, while on foot, no less. It's not that Ronan did something the Surfer couldn't do, it's that the Surfer was dumbed down by the writing to do something out of character so that the Annihilators would realise the threat Dredd posed in a direct, physical confrontation. Also, Ronan got the shaft in # 1 when Ikon subdued him in a single move, and was stated to be the weakest of the team, so, naturally, he had to shine at some point. "1.Before he smashed Dredd, he said that Dredd no longer can him or anyone else, in explanation he said that his hammer has mollecular manipulation powers.
2.Being the weakest, doesn't mean that he don't have areas in which his better than others.
" @czarny_samael:1.The difference is that I don't belive that Surfer could do the same.
1. I already said that.
2. He isn't better than the Surfer in molecular manipulation of any kind. The Surfer simply refrains from using it on living beings, ninety percent of the time. "
2.If his mm would be better than Ronan's (in this area), he wouldn't be cutted by Dredd.
P.S. Question about Ravenous... Did Surfer depowered him? Because I belive that Ronan did it, in Annihilation#5. Ravenous had his curses there.

1) It's not a resistance. It's an immunity. There's a difference. Quantum energy prevented molecular manipulation from taking effect. For it to be a resistance, Captain Atom would have to willfully attempt to keep it from happening; that wasn't the case.
2) No. I mean that Major Force could possibly share the same immunity as Captain Atom because he is powered by the same source. It only worked against him because someone manipulated his molecular structure at the Quantum level.
3) There's not much to explain, other than the fact it deals with manipulating the minimum (smallest) amount of physical matter (elementary particles). It was just an ability that Resurrection Man had, allowing him to manipulate matter at the Quantum level.
4) Not sure what Ronan's molecular manipulation has to do with the Silver Surfer's. Just because it's greater than Silver Surfer's doesn't mean that it's going to work on Major Force. Major Force also doesn't age. He's pure energy.
You keep missing the point. The Surfer didn't use any molecular manipulation against Dredd. It's not a subconscious ability. You have to willfully access it. Ronan already knew that physically attacking Dredd before nullifying his powers first would have been futile, hence why he used molecular manipulation before he hit him. Had Ronan attacked Dredd without that knowledge, molecular manipulation wouldn't have been his initial choice of attack, and he would have been cut, as well."2.If his mm would be better than Ronan's (in this area), he wouldn't be cutted by Dredd."

No, you can clearly see the Super Skrull impaling the curs right before Ronan delivers the shot that deformed Ravenous' face.
