Although a super with Power Negation could negate the power-replicating ability, and the powers of any OTHER super, abase them to his level and kick the crap out of them, if they're better fighters. Unless the Ability Mimic also has Power-Negation Immunity, I'm going for the power-negator.

haha, that's a toughie...

DRY oatmeal manipulation against rice manipulation, I give it to rice manipulation. Oatmeal is a flat grain, and thus lighter.

COOKED oatmeal manipulation against rice manipulation, oatmeal manipulation gets it. Hot freakin' oatmeal outdoes the sting of a whirling rice torrent ANYday.

nope, immortality wins...

with invincibility, you can't be physically harmed, but can still die of starvation of suffocation/drowning; but with TRUE Immortality, you can't die at all...not from age, physical damage, starvation, suffocation/drowning,  ANYTHING short of DIVINITY...

Nice try though, lol

Well invincibility means you can't be beaten, but you can die so that would mean that in 1 lifetime you would be unstoppable.

Whereas immortality you can't die but you don't always win.

agreed. Although Telepathy can prevent a Telekinetic from thinking clearly (perhaps cast an illusion so he thinks his power's been negated), while Telekinesis can only produce physical force; If the user of Telekinesis thinks he has no power, he has no power, right?

My money's on the telepath.

Why?

I once read a book where a person had psionic powers. She accessed these powers using a specific mental route. What happened to her was that something caused this mental route to change. Because of this, she couldn't use her powers until she figured out the new mental route to them. Her power was still there, she just couldn't use it.

A skilled telepath could just set up a mental block or change the mental route of the person's telekinesis. They'd be helpless.

However the same can be said for the telepath. I saw a show where someone was able to stop a programmed clone from exploding by controlling the brainwaves in the other persons head with tactile telekinesis in order to prevent the mental trigger.

If the person with telekinesis disrupts the telekinetic's brainwaves by redirecting the electric charges in their brain then the telepath would be defeated and possibly lose their power.

Urban Empathy vs Electric Powered Strength

I'm thinking that this will be a close matchup if the one with Electric Powered Strength causes a blackout using his powers.

Superhuman Killing Intent vs Talent of Killing

SKT-

Mentality to kill
Can sense other people's killing intent
Hidden weapons(User has the habit of hiding them on their person)
Can learn skills that involve killing easily and can train their body to kill easily


ToK-
Kill a man with single blow
Catch Arrows
Proficient with accuracy and weapons
Attack an enemy before time to react


I'm guessing that the deciding factor is if SKT's ability to sense killing intent is fast enough to detect ToK's attempt to kill first. What do you think?

yeah, I agree...SKT could sense ToK's intent to kill him, and have a defense plan ready in advance...

BTW: speaking of dead, take a look at the latest post in the RP...
