Nova for the win. He's got superhuman strength, invulnerability, and the rocket flight powers, whereas Guthrie only has his blasting powers. Nova takes this 9 out of ten times, IMO.

My guess is Nova if you're thinking of the Richa Ryder version. Sam's no slouch either as he's lead the New Mutants and was/is a member of the X-MEN. I remember one X-MEN issue where Cannonball took on Gladiator and it was closer than most would think.

I knew that rubbish example would come up. Black Panther also defeated the Silver Surfer, remember that one? Both of those were absolutely absurd outcomes that wouldn't happen. Okay... end of nerd rant.

Yeah, Cannonball took out Gladiator, but as MM points out, a lot of versus-fights haven't made much sense. Dazzler took out Galactus, after all.

I do agree that Rich has it all over Sam in terms of extra powers...but I wonder if Rich can actually hurt Sam, so long as Sam's blasting?

Lol Dazzler beating Galactus is classic. BP beating Silver Surfer I'm more forgiving to because T'challa's essentially Reed's equal in smarts and comes prepared like Batman lol.

This is no contest whatsoever. Nova would win even if Cannonball brought a few friends. Remember he has gone toe to toe with Thor,Sandman and The Sphynx. As soon as Sam was out of blast mode Rich would cold ---- him!

T'challa can be as smart as he likes, and come prepared like Batman, but since the Surfer has no weaknesses he can exploit, how on earth can he beat someone like that?...It's ridiculous! It's like Batman vs Wonder Woman: The only weapon Bats could come up with to defeat WW was Superman. He could never do it himself. Why? Because WW has no weaknesses. So, T'challa beating the surfer? Just stupid writing.

Agree for all these reasons.
