The Lone Wanderer

The fact that Atheists are considered less respectable than Muslims, even immediately after 9/11, is a tad depressing.

That being said, we do beat Scientologists in likeability by a country mile, which is hilarious.

the hell is that?!!!what a non sense!! Sentry stomps with ease, he will change Bor to cosmic dust in less than a second, Sentry is above cosmic cubes!! he overkill Bor, Thor, and Odin too.

Sentry has never, in all his years, shown power at Skyfather level. Ever.

Iran doesn't have the population, economic strength, industrial capacity, or military force to beat America. Not to mention the last time America and Iran had a direct fight, it ended with the pride of the Iranian navy at the bottom of the sea. Once America smashes Iran's navy, it'll have absolute impunity to cut off Iran from overseas trade and bombard it from the shore. The American Airforce is also vastly superior to Iran's in quality and quantity, so Iran will be lacking any air support really soon into the war.

In terms of ground battles, Iran's conventional military hasn't a hope in hell to stand against the full force of the Army and the Marines in a stand up fight. It's one chance is to act in support of guerilla actions, otherwise all it'll accomplish is losing Iran a lot of resources very quickly. But if Iran were to somehow anger America enough to prompt it to go into TOTAL war, then even guerilla strategies wouldn't work, because America wouldn't care if there was an Iran left. It'd torch the country, take whatever resources it can, and leave a burnt out husk in it's wake.

It'd take the whole of the E.U or the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) group to really stop the American military in a total war. Anything less would get pummeled in short order either by overwhelming superiority in quality of equipment (China, Russia, India, etc) or overwhelming superiority in quantity of soldiers (any lone western European nation). And even these nations would be outmatched by America at Sea, given that America has more Aircraft carriers than pretty much the rest of the world put together, and would be in a much better position to send troops to attack the other side than vice versa due to it's bases being everywhere.

Of course, in a total war, these rival nations would likely eventually build the capacity to SOMEHOW invade America, likely by occupying Greenland and using it as a staging point to get to Canada, then going down from there to strike the Eastern seaboard. Or for those with a more west coast oriented plan, do the same, but use the pacific coast of Russia to go down from Alaska to take over the west coast and force America to grind itself into oblivion. OR, try to get America to invade a buffer area, like Portugal for the E.U or Manchuria for BRICS, and then grind America's military ability dry.

Well, Captain is the tactical brains behind the avengers.

Sooner or later, Nappa will make a mistake, and when he does, Juggernaut will grab him and use him as a jump rope. Marko has all day, Nappa just can't muster up enough force to hurt him.

@Imagineer:

The first wave of vivesectors went down in moments, their bodies being chewed up by a hail storm of ammunition and being sent unceremoniously onto the ground. The second wave fared about a second longer before meeting the same fate, but the third wave did something uncanny and unexpected, they burrowed into the ground. Slashing into the asphalt and concrete below, they disappeared into the earth before clawing their way through to come up behind him from the ground, flailing and slashing at him.

But this wave was promptly run over by the grave runner at about three hundred odd miles per hour. But just to be sure, he drove back and forth over them, listening to the scrunching of the metal to make sure they stopped squirming. "Come on, we got to haul ass if we're gonna get out of he-" Tombstone started before a car began to shift and remold into a triangular reflex light tank that then fired off a 40mm shell which pinged off the armor of the grave runner before being chewed up by the gatling grenade-launcher.

@Impero:

@Lady_Liberty :

For a moment, it seemd that the duo won, the combination of being frozen and then hit repeatedly appeared to shatter the wanderer into pieces, leaving only a few slivers of it's rust red body. For a moment, all was still, but the pieces then seemed to melt into quicksilver, although the pieces, frozen by Lady Liberty and then shattered by Impero, were each no larger than a man's finger nail at best, they had enough active nanites to begin regeneration protocols. With unusual speed, the remaining nanites devoured their deactivated kin, then they ate the ground and reproduced at incredible speeds.

The grey goo then began to reform into the wanderer once again, sliding and then locking into place to form the robotic murderer. Flowing into a solid shape, the wanderer was reborn, having literally eaten it's way back into existence, leaving noticeable holes in the ground as it scavenged matter for resources. The tentacles that were once wrapped around Lady Liberty seemed to flow off of her, the tiny nanites disappearing into the ground before, it seemed a bit frazzled in it's movements, as if it hadn't fully recovered it's senses.

"Impressive." The wanderer noted before bringing out it's M-brane blaster and aiming at the two, firing off a single shot of dimensional destabilizer. The impossibly coloured orb flung itself into their midst before exploding. A sucking noise beyond any description was followed by a dull throb as the barriers between dimensions broke down. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, they all became as one in a single moment. Such effects were catastrophic to those caught by them, but it could be dodged, even as other objects such as cars, lamposts, the road itself, and so on were caught and turned into messes of impossibility that even Salvador Dali would reject as too surreal.

@Imagineer :

In a moment, the pigeons rapidly began to transform into man sized vivesectors as they flew into and merged with one another to form the horrifying alien mechanical death squids who chittered and warbled angrily as they flew through the air at the kitchen and the grave runner alike

,

some being hit by streaking SAMs from the Grave runner, exploding into nanite shards as the missiles blasted them out of the air, but others kept on going, one managed to fire a dimensional anchor device at Tombstone's car, preventing him from using it to teleport out of the city, creating a field of no-teleportation around the vehcile as it flew at the Grave runner, only to be blasted out of the air by a trio of armor piercing grenades that smashed apart it's head.

The other vivesectors that aimed themselves at Fantom fired off their ruby red laser cutters to try and disable the vehicle while their slashing chainsaw claws were swung at him whenever they got close, a few being blasted out of the air by Fantom's efforts. But they seemed to be trying to corral Fantom's makeshift vehicle away from the Grave runner, while bats in the sky began to digest pieces of building to build themselves into gremlins, child sized, bat winged, cyclopean drones equipped with two small energy weapons that soon pushed themselves into the pursuit.

@Lady_Liberty:

Stepping over to Lady liberty, the Lone Wanderer had it's tentacles rush out to grab her and prevent her from using her strength by attempting to bind her in a position where she'd lack leverage. "Now...what to do with you." It contemplated as it approached her. "Kill you right away, or have a bit of fun?" It posited, craning it's head to the left before having it's tendrils snake ever closer to her face if it had managed to grab her.

@Lady_Liberty:@Imagineer:

"On it." Graves responded before teleporting a mile off, disappearing in a dark flash that the wanderer made note of, directing some of it's nanite replicas of various fixtures in the city to keep on him ordering them to try and get a dimensional anchor on him to keep him from teleporting. Turning to Lady Liberty, the nanite murderer's cape flowed out dramatically while it's cable dreadlocks slithered down to it's midsection before snaking out to grab her. As it's lone eye fired a microwave beam at the Imagineer, meant to rapidly boil the water in his body to make him explode in a shower of gore, much like what would happen to a rat in a microwave oven.

"I am sure you are aware of the track records of females and tendril appendages." It remarked with an unusual degree of coyness before kickflipping itself at stunning speeds to bring the staff to smash into the small of her head, which would send a massive jolt of energy generated by unknown sources into her to cause pain before bringing in the other half to smash into her rear, releasing the stored up energy to smash her forward, using it's tentacles to keep her from flying out of it's reach before energizing it's claws with matter disruption fields and leaping at her to make a kick slash at her abdomen, followed by a swing of it's staff at her temple, then moving to flip her over with it's tentacles and then bring the thunderhammer like end of it's staff down to smash into her stomach.

In the mean time, Graves appeared in an alleyway, but noticed a large number of pigeons had begun to stare at him in an odd manner. "I don't have bread crumbs you dumbass dinosaur rejects." Tombstone snidely chided, but the pigeons only moved closer, and closer, before they revealed their true nature, melting together to form Vivsectors, which resembled lethal, flying metal octopus' with chainsaw blades for fingers at the end of their tentacles. "Aw crap. Grave runner!" He called out, prompting his car to smash through a chain link fence and gun down the machines with a barrage of grenades from it's gatling grenade launcher before leaping into the vehicle and driving off. But now the nanite drones had a bead on him.

@Lady_Liberty:

"Huh?" Graves answered blearily before a sonic wave flew right at him, his turning around preventing the SASER from hitting the cloak, and instead tearing into him and sending him flying, prompting the wanderer to scowl heavily. "Oh no, this won't do at all." He growled as he went about melting into the ground, reforming into a bird that hovered over the ground for a brief time before transforming back into his combat form drawing forth his divine steel electrostaff, vaulting down from the sky, seemingly from nowhere. "Hrmph." The wanderer snorted as it twirled it's staff before bringing itself into a defensive stance, it's lone optic scanning it's foes and attempting to deduce physical weaknesses.
