I loved it when he whooped up on Loki after he (Loki) ran his mouth too much.

Since Doc. Strange will be introduced into the Marvel Cinematic universe eventually I'm going with him. The power to snuf out anything with a flick of his finger and the power to transport anything to anywhere he wants including other dimensions gives him pretty much ultimate power.

I would have to agree with this. I would even go so far as to say that Dr. Manhattan wouldn't even need to teleport Superman. He could simply rearrange Superman on a molecular level and turn him into a Kryptonite statue.

I don't think there is a superhero or supervillain who could stand up to John Osterman.

Could Dr. Manhattan take Galactus?

Nothing can take Dr. Manhattan (inlcuding Galactus), so the answer to your question is..."Yes!"

The funny thing is Superman and Hulk are usually the first two people think about including me but for some reason, when I saw this thread Dr. Manhattan was the one I thought about...if that makes sense.

He [Dr. M] was the first one that came to my mind, too. As I was perusing the posts, I actually had to double check the title to make sure it wasn't "Who's stronger, the Hulk or Superman?" Then I came to your post.

It's got to be a supernatural superhero like Superman or Green Latern.. Obviously a mortal like Batman would have no chance against them in a physical fight.

So what I'm hearing is, Manhattan could teleport Superman to where his powers don't work, and beat him there?

Manhattan vs. Hulk- just send hulk to a far off galaxy and never see him again?

Manhattan vs Thor - hmmmm. How does Manhattan hurt Thor?

Demolecularize him and turn him into a pile of goop. A 'la the :24 second mark.

From the Avengers.

I assumed that was because the Hulk knew it was coming. If Banner has made the decision to kill himself, then the Hulk could manifest inside of him and stop him doing it.

However, if he didn't know it was coming (and you killed him in his sleep or something) maybe that would work? This is purely speculation, though.

It's quite alright, I think it's fair to say that the entire thread is pure speculation

I think in issue five of Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk someone tried to kill Banner while unconscious with a nuke and it didn't work he turned into Hulk or something like that.

Ah, right - down goes my argument then.

[Clark Kent]

Dr. Manhattan is wildly overrated in terms of power. He was the only person on his Earth with any real superpowers. If someone planned it right, Manhattan could be taken down relatively easily. Reed Richards would trap him in the Negative Zone or something.

He became widely hated by the end as a character, but Superboy-Prime was so strong his punches literally altered reality. He was considered infinitely more powerful than any other current character in DC before certain events.

In the future, Superman Prime would be the likely answer. He's a different character from the psychotic Superboy-Prime. Superman Prime lives in the far future and lives in the heart of the sun. A complete listing of his powers from the Wiki:

Superman Prime is the second most powerful being that has ever existed in the DC multiverse only surpassed by The Presence. He has acquired countless powers and abilities from his travels and lineage that allow him to do almost anything he wishes, which range from teleportation to the manipulation of magic and warping reality. He can manipulate time, space, matter, and bend reality on almost any scale he wishes.

Immunity- Superman Prime is imune to magic, kryptonite, lightning, mental manipulation, ect.

Creation - Superman Prime is able to create lifeforms out of nothing.

Resurrection - Superman Prime can resurrect the dead and himself.

Omniscience - Superman Prime has possibly learned everything in his time in the sun.

Omnipotence - Superman prime has near limitless abilties as far as we can see.

Omnipresent - Superman Prime can be any where at any time.

All Kryptonian powers under a Yellow Sun. All of his Kryptonian powers are enhanced.

Godlike Super strength - His strength is limitless, he is capable of lifting his own multi-verse.

Godlike Super speed - His speed is incomprehensible to even the abstract beings.

Godlike Super Senses

Godlike Xray vision - He can see through any solid object, with no exceptions.

Godlike Heat vision - A million times hotter than the center of the sun.

Godlike Super Stamina/Endurance - Capable of surviving the end of the Multiverse.

Godlike Invulnerability - Capable of surviving the end of the Multiverse.

Godlike Super Hearing - Cosmic Awareness.

Immortality - Superman Prime, will live until the end of Reality.

That doesn't matter. This thread isn't limited to those who have had film appearances.

No, I think the "pain" of the bullet hitting him changed Banner to Hulk and then Hulk was strong enough to "spit it out"
