Re: Power Vs Power

Actually, I suggested the resistance because I thought it made the battle more fair. I was really gunning for Super Strength to win. But I have decided to give up the argument anyway. For the record, I actually hate Super Strength, I just like to argue pointlessly.

Alright, Darkside did an amazing job of wrapping it all up. Truly spectacular. Shall we move on to: Magnetism vs. Superhuman Agility?

This depends highly on the environment. Both of these powers would be most useful in a cityscape. Although the agile guy could easily avoid a lot of flying metal objects, the magnetic guy could mess with the environment and screw him up. In any environment other than a city, my money would be on the agile guy. In the city, Idunno, still the agile guy?

Re: Power Vs Power

Disciple of the Dark Side
Completely agree with the 'depends on the scenario' approach. Erm .. being objective and putting them in an empty room with only their powers to rely on I want to say Super Agility, but then I guess I *am* a sucker for the underdog. That being said, there are trace amounts of iron, which (obviously) is affected by magnetic fields, in the human body, we use it to create haemoglobin, which is the substance in red blood cells that allows them to pick up oxygen, just incase anyone was wondering. So perhaps the magnetic manipulator would have weapons to play with after all. Tough call still though, since the Super Agile character would have a higher chance of dodging any attacks. . . I dunno. Stumped me.

Superhuman Agility vs. Magnetism: TIE

Now for another mindbender: Superhuman Endurance vs. Accelerated Healing.

Let the neurons fry!

I'd say Accelerated Healing. For one, they can handle any blow, something the endurer (?) can't do. And two, they can essentially match the endurer's endurance (?!) except with a 10 second wait. So in an empty room scenario with no weapons, I'd say healing. Unless this healer is incapable of resurrection, the other guy stands no chance.
Now in a completely ridiculous and stylised situation in which both competitors are placed on opposite sides of an airport tarmac with a button in the middle that will completely vaporize the competitor who doesn't get there first, I'd say Endurance.

Lets see, time to make use of the randomizer.


Memory Limit Vs Extreme Intellegence


These are both on the site, so be sure to look them up.

I vote memory limit, because it would make any knowledge gained by extreme intellegence useless.

Extreme Intelligence loses that battle. If you can ony remember a certain amount of stuff, it desn't matter how intelligent you are...you can only recall THREE of the brilliant facets of knowledge you possess! Hahah!

So Memory Limit wins 3/0

Anyone have any suggestions for Power Vs Power?

And WHD, I think its a good way of thinking of new uses for a power, and leting you see other peoples perspectives. Its aslo kind of entertaining.
