Most powerful epic

[HonorIsDead]

@asterion137

I don't think so, his brain doesn't seem to need to be intact/working in order to heal himself as shown by his fight with steelheart at the end of the first book when he crushes his skull in. If his brain doesn't need to be working, then his head doesn't need to be attached to heal. There are probably other examples of this though I haven't read the books since calamity.

Also, prof would probably have a body fitting force field up 24/7 in a fight with other epics, kinda like the reckoners coats.

finally I think he could still manage one in time to block whatever TLR pushed (Unless possibly if it was duralumin boosted) as he has blocked bullets and other things that move at incredible speeds before.

If he has enough metals, TLR would probably kill anyone with duralumin emotional allomancy to make them depressed or helpless.

Prof vs. Obliteration: Obliteration has no way to kill Prof through the forcefields. Prof might be able to grab obliteration with forcefields, then crush. Because obliteration would be grabbed, teleportation wouldn't save him.

Obliteration vs. Steelheart: Neither can kill the other because of the prime invincibilities, unless they can use the other's weakness.

Steelheart vs. Prof: Same.

I'm not seeing much of a weakness for Obliteration, and he's potentially got the ability to ramp his power up to 12.

Up until now he only 'charged up' by hanging out and getting a tan.  But in Calamity he had his first visit to space (AFAIK).  If it occurs to him to teleport closer to the sun (even if it's just for little 'blinks') then we're potentially looking at literally Earth-shattering levels of power.  

Mind you, damaging the Earth too much would be just as bad for him as everyone else, but that's kind of his mission now, isn't it?

[Exalted]

I think TLR would definitely win--he's untouchable burning atium and compounding zinc, would probably be able to predict Obliteration's teleports, and wouldn't be afraid of Steelheart. The only one that might give him trouble would be Prof, but a combination of a duralumin-Soothing (to stun him) and steel compounding could allow TLR to hack him into enough pieces that his regeneration stops working.

[Xernathamics]

Steelheart's invincibility is not just skin deep it is stated that he can't die of suffocation and his blast where casually disintegrating buildings really he would probably beat the Prof and Obliteration in a battle of attrition he would just outlast them. And he can pretty casually fly through steel structures easily and he is physically one of if not the strongest Epics. Prof would last a while but his weakness would probably be triggered while fighting Steelheart and he would lose. Obliteration would simply lose in a battle of attrition eventually he would get disintegrated from a blast. Steel heart no sold a death beam that insta killed every thing it hit and he was immune to all human damage.

This thread is 2 years old @Xernathamics, check the date before posting on a thread.

 

However, Prof, TLR, and steelheart beat obliteration, you just have to grab him, then hit him until he dies. steelheart beats TLR. However, atium wouldn't help against Obliteration, as his danger sense would counter it out, like another Atium burner.

Well the Lord Ruler essentially has a whole slew of super-powers.

 

-Super-speed (compounded steel feruchemy)

-Super-strength (compounded pewter feruchemy and Allomancy)

-Super-mental speed (compound zinc)

-Steelpushing/ironpulling (steel/iron

-Perfect senses (compounded tin)

-Emotional Manipulation

-Can be infinitely heavy/light

-Can be infinitely warm/cold, potentially to the degree that he ignites the air around him, although that depends how F-brass works

-Endless healing (compound gold)

-Precognition (atium)

 

 

I mean, this guy is so tough. He is.... wow.

Atium (combined with the strength and speed to use it) alone means that he can't really lose a fight. And there is a 100% chance that he wouldn't be scared of Steelheart, after a millennium of not fearing anything but Ruin.

Now, chances are Obliteration could avoid his attacks and teleport away, but if anyone has a chance of at least touching him gently before he can teleport away, its the Lord Ruler.

With atium Lord Ruler would know exactly where Obliteration would teleport next and with compounded speed feruchemy he could easily beat Obliteration.

Atium would likely not be effective against Obliteration, as Obliteration's danger sense would counter it to some extent.

Obliteration isn't afraid of Steelheart probably so SH is dead.

And then it's a long battle

I don't think it will end. Obliteration will just teleport away right away and Prof will block everything with forcefields

So...

 

We know that Calamity or Prof are the most powerful (depending on how you look at it) but who would win in a fight, prof or steel heart AND obliteration. On the same note, how does prof match up with, say, the Lord Ruler or other cosmere characters?

Full powered Lord Ruler would win. He can move faster than Prof can see and make himself strong enough to crush his head like an egg. And that's just two of his powers.

Other than that, not sure if any other Cosmere characters can beat him. All Porf needs to do is trap them and then crush them, and the only reason TLR wins is that he can move faster than Prof can think. if he didn't have F-steel, he probably would die even with his healing.

There's a character named Boomerang (I think) that could move really fast for a short time, then snapped back to the point she started at. Once they knew that, they just hit her as she snapped back.

It's Yo-yo. Not important, but still.

 

Note that in Firefight, David's entire top half of his body is vaporized by Obliteration and he still is healed by Prof's power, so there is no guarantee that crushing Prof's head would actually kill him.
