Who's the Best at Prep?

DC: Constantine, Midnighter

Marvel: Reed, Doom, Strange

Others: The Doctor

@masterkungfu: agreed

I like how some people can't answer the question without saying "herp derp not Batman" the question isn't "Who's the worst at prep among these choices" it's "Who's the best as prep?" I know Batman can really overshadow other characters at times but I didn't know it was to the point he had to always be singled out.

To answer the question though I'll go with Thanos.

Marvel: LT*

@sirneko: TRibunal?

@jack_donaghy: The question might not be "Who's the worst at prep?" But that's like saying the question was not "Who dies first in a physical fight between Hulk, Silver Surfer , Thor and. .........Captain America"

One of these characters is so far out of his league here, it would be remiss to not mention just how badly he's going to perform, especially when other people state, without a hint of irony ( or actual feats for that matter), that said character is going to win

Batman does not "overshadow" anything. You could replace batman with say..... Will Magnus to name but one character, and people will obliged to point out that he's just way out of his league here

Please, when you think about it none of the characters listed are even in Thanos' league yet no one has said "Why is Constantine here?" And lol at you exaggerating with the Cap being placed among Hulk, Silver Surfer and Thor hypothetical. Cap is nowhere near those characters physically whereas Batman's prep is at least on the level of someone like Constantine. If Batman doesn't have impressive prep feats why are people always crying about him beating Superman, the JL and other major threats. If Batman's the big bad Batgod who never loses then surely his feats stack up to the others. This is just another case of butthurt haters taking shots at Batman which has become this forums favorite pastime.

Dr. Who all rounds.

Batman's more impressive showings of prep. tends to rely on PIS and plot devices.

The Doctor seems to almost purely rely on plot devices.

Thanos' seems to rely on PIS.

Constantine's most impressive prep feats seem to rely on his House(which amounts to a plot device).

And Doom, while seemingly less reliant on PIS and plot devices than the others, tends to fall to his own arrogance regardless of how good his prep is.

That said, with no calling on allies, Batman has no way to deal with magic. Which means that he has no way to deal with Doom and Constantine, and possibly Thanos(who does have some knowledge of the mystical arts).

The Doctor doesn't even know that magic exists, which puts him in much the same boat as Batman.

Thanos is a bit of a wildcard, since he is, without prep, so stupidly superior to everyone else.

Which leaves us with Constatine and Doom(and the wildcard).

Given Doom's tendency to fall to his own arrogance, I would give that one to Constantine. Especially because Constantine is the kind of guy who would be able to use Doom's arrogance against him, and essentially get Doom to take himself out. Without the arrogance, Doom would take it easily.

Batman probably

Yes

@hatemalingsia: Lol, I said Batman and not the Doctor... Oops.

Dr. Who wins. why?

because he has prepped for this battle.

Tao comes in and stops all their faces in

Thanos is the best here. Followed by Batman or Doom in my opinion.

The Doctor

Batgod.

Doom or Thanos. Guess we'll find out when Doom decides to take on the Cabal....whenever that is.

Doom's better at prep because he's weaker than Thanos. Thanos is better WITH prep, because he's stronger than Doom.

That's my take.

Based on feat, Thanos destroy everyone on this list.

Oh lord.

If this is a battle to see who would actually win overall against one another, with prep, then Thanos. He is way beyond their power levels, exponentially so, at the very outset of this contest, as access to items of cosmic power far beyond any of their ken, and is give all the same advantages? (i.e. prep time).

C'mon peeps.

Doom comes in a distant second. After which, well, who cares really.

The Joker.

For years doom could create miracles

Hm....I really expected a lot more John Constantine here. I mean, isn't his prep abilities legendary on Comic Vine? I mean, even in a thread between John and Thanos, it seemed that the consensus was that John would win.

Batman or thanos

KANG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still the Doctor.

I'd say Doom or Batman with actual prepping but obviously Thanos is they were meeting each other face to face.

The Doctor... Doom

John Constantine. Even without prep he's a monster, imagine w/ it.

Batman cause hes a billionaire and has access to most of the super human community

Is this a joke? The Doctor has killed omnipotents with prep.

exactly my thoughts, it´s either Thanos or Constantine

@hunterzillas:

Doctor Who easily. He beats all the other ones combined

Just because, like Constantine he is always prepped for everything that may come. But The Doctor is even better prepped than Constantine.

Mayuri Kurosuchi

The Doctor is one of the best people at prep. Probably the best on the given list.

The best are Doom and T'Challa. They have prepped and maintained whole nations. It's pretty incredible to think about.

Doom stole the power of the Beyonder... nuff said.

Doom beat beyonder... Nuff said

@speedster101:

I think Beyonder let him, right?

@the_titan_lord: Agreed.

I made a similar thread for about a year ago and the result was either Doom or Batman.

your mom

Batman

Ducktor Doom all rounds

Tied between The Doctor, Doom and the blue guy from Hanna-barbera.
