Silver Surfer vs Cyborg Superman (without the Power Rings)

They both have some awesome powers, who do you think would win?

White Phantom says:

"They both have some awesome powers, who do you think would win?"

Yeah but I think Cyborg Superman might need his power rings to pull off a win against SS.

The surfer has no machinery for Cyborg superman to turn against him. And surfer can be as strong as he wants so he can bash the slower Cyborg superman to pieces. Or he can just phase through him and rip out his CPU and all other Vital machinery.

I think it depends on where this fight takes place. Oh right, I'm the one who decides where it takes place.

Either way. Surfer creates a black hole inside Henshaw and watches him die, wait you can't watch someone die too a black hole. Dangit!

Could he even do that?

He can generate micro black holes. Not stellar mass Normal ones though. Or he could create a strangelet and watch it consume all of Henshaw and convert his matter into more strangelets.

Even thought Silver Surfer would pound Hank. I like Cyborg Superman ! Simly because his cyborg side reminds me of a T-850 Terminator Endo Skeleton. He looks so cool.

I don't know if he'd win without the rings but Surfer's going to have to be a bit more creative than a black hole. Hank has already survived one and worse. He also doesn't need Surfer to have machinery he can control to do damage, he's physically a match for Superman and can always better himself and is capable of creating anything he can think of. Doom stole Surfer's powers with tech, so I think it'd be more than possible for Hank to do the same. Cyborg Superman with the Power Cosmic.

OK, I've decided the battle takes place in Outer Space. That might be a bit more fair.

WHat can he do about strangelets converting the very atoms in his body to more strange matter?

Henshaw has existed without a physical form (when Parallax tried to kill him), has made his body out of things other than machinery, and is capable of turning all kinds of material into his default body. These things together make me think that transmuting him into "more strange matter" won't do much.

And everything in the room will be fed to this chain reaction thus converting the planet into, a strange planet.

Just in case no one read it the first time. In other words, Cyborg can't use the incredible technology a lot of you are imagining.

Cyborg is the incredible technology.

Buckshot says:

"Cyborg *is* the incredible technology. "

I was talking about him inhabiting everything and using it to drain Surfer's powers, turn it against him, or something along that lines.

He doesn't need additional resources, he could make a device to drain Surfer's powers from his own body.

I think he would go in with a direct attack, and Surfer would probably notice if Cyborg started changing.

Dreadnaught says:

cyborg supes doesn't have a cpu! but I doubt he'd have anythying that'd take out the surfer!

Surfer's been weakened/had his powers stolen by tech at least 3 times (Doom, Panther and Obliterator) and Obliterator even had tech that Surfer couldn't transmute if I remember right. Cyborg could cook up similar weapons with a quickness (there are other threads for Surfer's reaction times, I don't feel like doing that again) so he'd just need to point and shoot.

You know, I still don't think Cyborg would first think to steal Surfer's power. I mean, when Doom stole it, it had to take some planning, and Cyborg's right in the middle of battle. His first impulse would probably be to attack Surfer head-on. I doubt he would stop and think some gizmo to steal the powers of an opponent he's never met.

As buckshot stated, Henshaw doesn't have to have physical form/body, so there won't be anything to transmute! and after reading buckshots posts, gonna have to go with henshaw! If anyone has read the cyborge superman oneshot from the sinestro warcorps, you'll understand where he's comming from! His goal these days, is to die! he's sick and tired of living, the reason he was working for the anti-monitor was cause he was promised by monty he would do the one thing no one else could: kill him! so i'd like to see the surfer give it his best shot!

Just because SS can't kill him doesn't mean he couldn't drive him away.

The Cyborg held his own against him in the Surfer, Green Lantern crossover, he destroyed a planet the Surfer had saved, the Surfer went at him full power and the Cyborg took it. Henshaw has incredible power and is virtually immortal, this is fight that can go to either side. I know many people don't take crossovers seriously but, it gives you a measuring stick.

Yeah, I have that crossover. It's pretty much the reason I started this topic, to see what other people thought, because it had them pretty much even.

while Surfer is powerful, i don't that he's powerful enough to kill Henshaw...

Henshaw has used his powers to collect and use energy fired against him from heroes before, i could see him doing exactly the same to surfer.

Good grief, who ever said that someone had to kill the other to win. I'm not saying Cyborg couldn't win, I'm just trying to point out that death isn't the deciding factor of victory, and that while Cyborg has a huge bag of tricks, so does Surfer.

i'm not saying that every battle has to end in a kill, but Henshaw won't give up, and i can't see Surfer giving up...

neither one could contain the other for too long...

M

Probably not, though in the comic he fled.

maybe...

all i can point out is that Parallax (Original) couldn't take down Henshaw for good, and Parallax was the one kicking Thanos' ass out of the picture in the Silver Surfer / Green Lantern crossover

I think it depends on if Cyborg has a strategy, because if he had a plan and new Surfer, then he would win. But if he had zip in the strategy and Surfer departments it'd be a very close win for either of them.

Strategy or no, I stand by Cyborg. And notice, I never said anything about killing. Not Surfer needing to kill him (though he would have to since Henshaw fights as a way to find death so he wouldn't stop until he was dead) or him needing to kill Surfer. From my first post I said Henshaw would steal Surfer's powers.

He might if the battle goes on long enough. But I stand by what I said that I don't think that would be his first impulse.

It doesn't have to be his first thought for him to be able to do it, and it's not like Surfer can prevent him from doing so.

then surfer would have to be able to kill him before cs moved on to stealing surfer's powers. so how would surfer do that?

You know, I'm agreeing with you that he could do it.

He wouldn't, I believe! as stated, everyone from parralax, to darkseid to the anti-monitor have tried taking out henshaw! I don't believe surfer will take him out!

i love that last panel of the second image page...

where he thinks he's finally going to die and says "Thank you!" with a tear in his eye :D

M

If the battle went as far as shown in that last panel then I would call that a win for Surfer. Though in my opinion, Henshaw would devise a machine to siphon the Cosmic Power from Surfer, as Buckshot mentioned, and I think it would happen before Surfer could temporarily incapacitate Henshaw.

Quick question, has Cyborg ever devised a machine that stole someones powers before?

White Phantom says:

"Quick question, has Cyborg ever devised a machine that stole someones powers before?"

yes... he used it on the "Energy" superman several times, including one time that resulted in his 'splitting' superman into Red and Blue variants

I loved that. I was happy for him that he got what he wanted, but sad that he was gone. Then I was happy when he came back, but sad for him.

Anyway, that was a milky way destroying explosion that knocked him out (says so on another page), just wanted to add that.

OK, well if it's a common thing for him to use, then I'll say he'd do it. But I can't go with Cyborg, Buckshot and I agree on another page, and that was almost too much :)
