I've been okay actually.

I have just been so busy or distracted lately that I have not had a good opportunity to visit the superpower list fourms lately.

Power Vampire vs Indestructible?

The indestructible can't harm the power vampire.
Since he would have less useful abilities like enhanced strength and speed.

The Power Vampire just has drop the indestructible in some place you can't get out without flying.  
Or he could just drop him in the ocean.
Being indestructible doesn't mean you can't drown or starve to death.

My vote goes to Power Vampire.

Re: Power Vs Power

I doubt a power vampire would just drop Indistructable somewhere afterall a power vampire is still a vampire.

The way I see it is that the setting for the battle is that this fight started as a typical vampire attack and the indistructible some how managed to escape and is trying to fight back.

Yes the power vampire has alot of advantages vampires after all when I made superpower: power vampire I stated that power vampires have all the typical vampire powers in addition to the other powers, abilities, and knowledge a power vampire can and will obtain by feeding.

As rule of thump if any vampire in any folklore has demonstrates a power(s) then a power vampire has that power(s) in addition to the ability to gain the powers, knowledge, and abilities of the victems. Also a power vampire typically lacks the typicall vampire vulnerabilties besides the craving and eventuall need to feed on others.

But to make this battle fair in this case the power vampire has not absorbed any additional powers yet.

Also for a power vampire the need to feed is more physiological than physical. Thats why the power vampire is gradually goes insane after all the more he/she feeds the greater he/she craves until eventually he/she cannot go with out feeding for long. Also the more he/she feeds the more he/she obviously attracts vampire hunters.

So since the indestructable can survive virtually anything he/she is essentially an all you can eat buffet for the power vampire. So I doubt the power vampire would wan't to simply drop the indestructable somewhere.

You should probably be thinking of Power Vampire versus Immortal then. Someone with indestructible can still die eventually, just not typically through physical means. A Power Vampire stealing an Indestructible person's life force though would eventually kill him.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Actually Superpower: Immortal on the superpower list says that Superpower: Immortality is only the inability to die by natural causes. So a person with immortal would not be able to survive the power vampire's attacks.

The version of immortality that protect somebody from dieing by any cause is Superpower: Perfect Immortality.

The problem with somebody with perfect immortality fighting a power vampire is that while the perfect immortal cannot be hurt or die by any means he/she also has the draw back of not having any sub powers. So besides the inability to die or be hurt by any means along with not having to eat, drink, or sleep the perfect immortal is essentially a normal human.

Also the powers of vampires in folklore and fiction are vast and varied and a power vampire has all of them.

Also their is someone whose power is close to indistructable and that person is Alexander Anderson from hellsing and he has proven himself able to hold his own vs Alucard. Granted the indestructable won't have Anderson's huge numbers holly banyets or the ability to throw so many at once and the power vampire won't have Alucard's overpowered guns.

Though Alucard is one of the strongest if not the strongest vampire's in fiction he still only has a fraction of the number of vampire powers that Power Vampires have access to.

Here is a link to the fight between Alucard and Alexander Anderson.

Please don't start up the Perfect Immortality fight again...(Just letting you know ahead of time)

But, honestly, things do get more interesting when you think about the various different types and definitions of Immortality.

I think that things get more interesting when you consider the various types of immortality as well.

Though I still believe biological immortality aka the inability to die of natural causes would be absolutely useless against a power vampire.

Besides if the power vampire's opponent didn't have at least an inability to age the power vampire could assumeing he hadn't gone completely insane from his increasing desire to fead and or been slade by a vampire hunter the vampire hunter could just wait until the opponent has grown to old to fight back.

Since as a rule of thumb a power vampire has all the powers a vampire(s) have in all folklore and fiction in addition to whatever additional powers, abilities, and knowledge the power vampire gains by feeding their are few powers that could allow somebody to beat a power vampire.

Also Alucard is not a power vampire and is not even close to being as powerfull as one.  I simply used Alucard as an example of how hard it is to take down an extremely powerfull vampire.

So all these details and the details I have mentioned in preveous posts considered, what power(s) do you guys think would be a better match for a power vampire?

Anything that prevents your powers from being absorbed/stolen.

Re: Power Vs Power

Yes you do have a point their any power capable of preventing your powers being absorbed/stolen would be a major help in combating a power vampire.

But even without stealing powers a power vampire is still very powerfull because a power vampire has all the powers a vampire(s) has ever displayed or been said to have in the varous folklores and fiction.

So even without the person's powers being absorbed/stolen due to the power vampire's immense variety of powers it is still not going to be easy to beat the power vampire.

Also aside rom gradially going completely insane and being hunted by vampire hunters a power vampire typically lacks the normal vampire weaknesses or at the varry least is heavelly ressistent to them.

So even if you have something that can prevent your powers from being absorbed/stolen if your powers don't give you someway of combating the power vampire's variety of powers you won't last long.

So taking that and what I said in my prevous posts, besides anything capable of preventing your powers from being absorbed/stolen what power do you guys think would allow somebody to potentially beat a power vampire.

Then, a combination of Perfect Immortality, Invulnerability, Power Negation, Power Security and Vampirism: Superpower.

As long as you are skillful enough to keep the vampire from draining your powers, you could use nearly any power to overpower the vampire's other abilities.

Skill matters.
Even with a seemingly weak power one can be defeat a slightly overpowered foe like someone with Power Vampire.
If it's used with sufficient skill and creativity.

Even someone with Puddingkinesis can defeat someone with Power Vampire.
He just needs a lot of pudding.

It doesn't matter who's stronger.

Lets say one guy creates light, and the other controls darkness. They get into a fight.
 
It doesn't matter how much light the Photokinetic puts out, the dark manipulator will always have a shadow. With enough control, he can move that under the ground, passing in the shadows cast by atoms.

Of course, a Photokinetic could fire laser beams. It really comes down to who breaks the stalemate first by getting creative.

Doesn't matter. If a stronger photo comes along, he'd kick your butt. Very few abilities are just INHERENTLY more powerful than others. Mostly, it just depends on power levels.

I'm going to have to agree with Wulf. There are probably some exceptions such as if the other person had Darkness Immunity or absorption but even those could be overcome with sufficient power or skill.
