He also said the X-Men would easily defeat any member of Marvel!

Yikes...

Juggernaut:
He's a super powered human, not a mutant. Powers: Superhuman strength and endurance, constant protective force field that grants invulnerability. Acts as an "irresistible force." Is virtually immortal, and does not need to eat or breathe..

vs

The Hulk:
A large green humanoid that possesses near limitless superhuman strength and great invulnerability, attributes that grow more potent the angrier he becomes..

However-Hulk's strength has been depicted as sometimes limited by Banner's subconscious influence; when Jean Grey psionically "shut Banner off".

See, they are both humans, with minds and emotions, sometimes seen as weaknesses in battle.

Well, Juggernaut has defeated the Hulk on more than one occasion. The Juggernaut is powered by magic. The Juggernaut could beat Superman, if Superman did not use his brains.

Juggernaut's main weakness is his vulnerability to telepathic assault once his helmet is removed. It must suck for Cain's step-brother, Charles Xavier to be the most powerful telepath.

The Hulk has to use intelligence in order to beat Cain Marko.

I do like the Hulk vs. Juggernaut fights as it is boring to me when the Hulk gets stronger as his anger increases as his opponents do not.

Without Banner, the Hulk is nothing more than a mindless animal bent on destruction.

You done went crazy for a moment... ;)

My brain said the JL was better, but I regressed. I should have never allowed my brother to insert doubt in my head!

Battle back on (I have your God-like aura's around me now...)

The DC heroes are ridiculously powered. The Marvel heroes have limits which in part has made them more popular. The Flash & Superman, both moving at super speed can cause heavy damage to just about anybody.

Superman has trouble whenever he fights a magic-powered opponent. He just can't win the fight with his fists.

Are you into the Watcher?

Quote:
 
Marvel is just weeks away from launching their latest big summer event: Original Sin. Written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Mike Deodato, Original Sin explores what happens when the Watcher is murdered and his eyes are stolen. Yeah, that's right (and gross) -- the Watcher's eyes contain everything he has ever seen, including all the dark secrets Marvel's heroes have been hiding. Who killed the Watcher? What will happen when his many secrets are leaked to the world? Those questions form the basis of the conflict in Original Sin.

We are on the same page!!!

I was just about to post that image.

The Watcher is a favorite character. He is a god-like being pleaded to only watch, but never interfere. His problem was he became emotionally attached to Earth, and has helped the Marvel heroes survive numerous catastrophic events.

Being the Watcher, Uatu knew just about everything. He was recently murdered, and his knowledge was stolen by an unknown party.

That story is still unfolding, and the ramifications are wide-spread.
I love this!

Who is capable of killing a Watcher?

I've only read a little about the Watchers (from my brother, of course), but I'm really getting into it.

I love the intrigue. I hope the writers keep the suspense up!

That's my take on DC vs Marvel.

I had a discussion with a group of kids (boys), we had the dispute of Hulk vs Superman...

Of course, I picked Superman!

My issue with the portrayal of SM, is the human element. It's like a wolf, can a wolf ever be tamed, or trained to be a pet? Docile towards those who seek to harm it?

However, like you said, the alien/human element, is what makes SM who he is...

To straight kill a Watcher, one has to at least be on the level of Thor & the Hulk.

Or, the person has to have very keen, almost super-human intellect, like Mister Fantastic or Doctor Doom.

Some fans are crying foul about the recent Watcher story unfolding in the Original Sins series.

Sometimes I think comic book fans are too damn jaded.

I am glad you are enjoying.

Apparently, the Watcher knew things that the heroes did not.

For instance.....

Thor & Loki have a previously unknown sister. She is featured on the splash page you posted. Odin was a rolling stone. Perhaps she will appear in Thor III.

Luke Cage's father worked with Blade & Blue Marvel back in the 1970's (yes....afros!!!!)

Peter Parker was not the only one bitten by a radioactive spider than fateful day he got his powers.

Iron Man erased some of Captain America's memories.

Tony Stark may have played a part in Bruce Banner becoming the Hulk.

I love the drama.

Even Batman has expressed gratitude (via inner thoughts) that Superman mostly sees himself as a corn-fed son of a farmer, and not a god. Superman just wants to help, not rule or intimidate.

Sadly, Superman even defeated Thor (my favorite heavyweight). Although Thor did claim he would fare much better if a rematch occurred.

IMO, Thor could kill the Hulk if he really went berserk, and used his full arsenal.

My brother said something about this, I thought he was talking about the father. So this has a ring of maybe, to it?

Me too. I love good writing. I love to read, and when I come across good writing, I become engrossed to no end. Like the Watcher, how he thought of that concept..

I would love to meet those guys, and pick their brains..

Her name is Angela. Here is a family portrait for you. I am not sure who her mother is. Odin has to be one of the worst fathers ever.

Here is the design for Silk. She appears to be Asian. Spider-Man does not have enough female villains.

Iron Man had Dr. Strange erase Cap's memories during a planetary crisis. Iron Man felt getting dirty was the only way to go while Cap wanted to handle things clean. Time was literally of the essence, so Iron Man sent Cap packing. Iron Man & Cap have a history of being the best of friends, and the worse of enemies. Hell, I could do a whole page of their frenemy antics over the decades.

The drama has to be more than battles. Stan Lee was a genius by using soap opera elements when he & his team of artists, like Jack Kirby, created the Marvel universe.

It is one of the reasons the Marvel films don't have to get too gory with violence.

Doctor Who’ Season Premiere Details, Image Revealed

Friday, July 11th, 2014 at 7:45am PST - by TJ Dietsch

Posted Image

With the new season of Doctor Who a little more than a month away, fans are clamoring for all the details they can get. Some have even read leaked scripts for the first five episodes. However, those who prefer less intense spoilers will be happy to see this new image of the season opener “Deep Breath” appear on Entertainment Weekly, along with comments from co-star Jenna Coleman and Executive Producer Steven Moffat.

“Deep Breath” marks Peter Capaldi’s first full appearance as the title character. Coleman, who plays the Doctor’s companion Clara Oswald, called this new version, “a lot fiercer.” “This man is a total adrenaline junkie,” she added.

The Aug. 23 premiere not only features Capaldi’s first outing as the Doctor, but also the return of the Paternoster Gang, consisting of the Silurian Madame Vastra, her human girlfriend Jenny and Stax the Sontaran. But, as Moffat points out, Capaldi will be be in the spotlight.

“It’s a big introduction — he’s the new Doctor,” he said. “There’s no point pretending that it’s not the most interesting, dynamic thing that you’ve got to sell in that first episode. It’s going to be about ‘What’s he like? How’s he different?’ I suppose it feels a bit like a character piece, but there’s plenty of action and nonsense and jeopardy, as there ever is in Doctor Who.”

Here is a great scene with the 10th Doctor.

The Doctor can be quite cruel when pushed too far.




Here is a great scene with the 11th Doctor.

With mere words, the Doctor can turn back armies.
