Near the beginning of his career Kyle Rayner successfully contained a supernova which threatened to obliterate our Solar System. He has certainly gotten more powerful since then.

Add in the rest of the Corps and the Empire (while going down fighting) will still go down. Still, I'd buy this in Trade Paperback if Dc and Disney/Marvel were to produce it.

@lpnq: Happy to help where I can, young brother. I don't know what region you live in, but I would be looking at every possible job your age, education level, and/or experience allows you to apply for. Perhaps a factory is hiring not to far from where you live? Maybe one of your future co-workers would be willing to let you crash on his/her couch while you save up enough money for your own spot (of course you'd have to first build such a friendship/acquaintanceship, but you seem cool so it's at least plausible this could happen. Especially if you explain to them your current situation). Maybe there is a paid HVAC, welding, carpentry, electrician, shipyard, or other tradesman's apprenticeship program you could qualify for?

These aren't glamorous jobs, but they pay good money. Way more than enough for a young guy like yourself to get a nice place of your own. And a reliable car to match. Again, I don't know where you live (not that's it's any of my business anyway), but I would thoroughly research these options. ASAP.

Or you could just say screw it and join the Military. You know that they'll pay you on time AND provide you with room and board for at least the next 4 years (I'm only half joking on this one, by the way ;)!

@lpnq:

No child has the luxury of choosing his parents. This is an unfortunate reality that all of us have to deal with as we make our own way in this crazy messed up world. That said, as a Navy veteran who handled firearms of various calibers over the course of my career, guy's like me fought (and some died) to guarantee your right to keep and bear arms. The challenge you face is twofold:

1.) As entirely screwed up (forgive me for saying so) as your parents are in their belief system, it IS their house. Their house, their rule structure. You could get the gun in secret, and God forbid something happens like a burglary you could save the day while simultaneously proving to them in real time that you were right all along. They seem to lack intellectual honesty though, so that is not likely going to strengthen your relationship with them. So...

2.) Move out of there and don't look back. If you have siblings (I don't remember you mentioning that, but..) keep in contact with them through Facebook of other social media. But don't got back to that house, bro. Not even for Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner. Get you own place, ASAP and exercise your God-given 2nd Amendment right to defend yourself and others from an unprovoked attack and/or a tyrannical government.

Good luck, bro. Nobody can break your heart/ disappoint you like family. You just have to love them from a distance sometimes.

@@john_doe_0897:

Blade OR Nomak solos Cap and Bucky at the same time.

It's possible. And while I'd hate to get in the middle of @cregan_stark and @abraham700's spirited discussion, I don't see anything that they bring to the table that could even scratch Nomak, let alone defeat him for any significant amount of time (unless either of these guys is carrying around UV grenades as standard equipment, in which case I'll gladly stand corrected).

The cyborg though is a wildcard

True. He seems to be the most durable of his teammates, and his technologically based powers may prevent him from being converted if bitten. But don't quote me on that...

Midnighter is a dangerous guy to be sure, but a morals off bloodlusted Superman by himself can simply nuke the whole planet with heat vision or something else crazy in retaliation.

@life_without_progress:

This is a tricky one, what with all of the versatility of the Force. I think the future King and Queen of New Genesis take this one though, in at least two aspects:

1. The battle of attrition. It is remarkable the stamina Scott and Barda have, not to mention their practical combat speed/reaction time. They could possibly just outlast the Force-wielders, IMO.
2. Since the Force is largely (but not exclusively) psionic, either of the New Gods' Mother Boxes could potentially protect them from Force pushes, Force lightening, and their lightsabers, again IMO...

@ancient_0f_days:

Wally's potential to do damage is frightening while Orion's durability is truly legit. I do wonder though: Would Orion be able to erect his force fields fast enough to augment said durability to repel/overcome The Flash's worst offensive options?

This is a hard one for me 'cause I love both of these guys... Drat.

There is absolutely nothing Ronan's Weapon can do that Mother Box can't immediately undue. After that it's a war of attrition between the Kree Accuser and the Fourth World God Of War. Nothing good comes from that.

Not looking good for the Marvel team, IMO...

@ancient_0f_days:

New 52 Yuga is featless and we don't know how strong he really is, plus Cap has his strength and was able to stomp him.....personally I'm upset with how they had Captain Marvel stomp Uxas's pops like a redheaded stepchild, dude was practically Trigon level post crisis....

Agreed. Post-Crisis Yuga was one scary mofo...

anyway, because Yuga is so featless we have no reason to assume the amp was significant or even considered a feat. We can't go on the assumption that Yuga is stronger than Darkseid or the Anti-Monitor or The Wizard or any other Old God because he has nothing solid to base that off of, what sucks for Billy is that he can't benefit from having Yuga's strength in the battle forums due to lack of feats and can only rely on his own or other specifically stated/shown feats. It would be somewhat logical to give him some leeway because it is supposed to be a huge godly buff, but it's still not a legitimate feat since they share power and there's nothing to compare them to but each other. That's just me, but I can't go and find feats for Billy unless he got new ones with the buff so I can't back him.

Hmm. That is indeed what I've missed. Thanks, bud!

@ancient_0f_days: Pre-Flashpoint, i'd normally lean towards Superman/Orion for the win due to Orion being such a monster.

But if @mazeraiii is to be taken at face value on Captain Marvel's new upgrade(s), this is one he really can win if he's serious about it. Hell if he's beaten Yuga FREAKING Khan, he wouldn't even need Black Adam's help.

I know that if anybody (outside of myself) here on the 'Vine remembers how insanely power Yuga Khan was it's you, Ancient One. If I'm wrong on this one PLEASE tell me where I missed it. I've just gotta know!!!
