Enterprise D vs. Marvel

Nuh uh, cause Kirk used a warp drive too.

Touche

Okay, I was just on a road trip, and a question occurred to us.

What superhero (I prefer DC or Marvel) would you rank being equivalent (offensively and defensively) to the Enterprise D?

IMO a much better argument could be made for a Empire vs. Federation battle. A Superhero vs a spaceship isnt really a fair fight, and if it is, its still just weird

And really, Data could take out any superhero.

God no, that's a horrible arguement. Everytime I go in search of a fun Empire vs Trek war it gets bogged down in technical jargon and precise physics equations. No one ever thinks of trying to have fun with the whole thing. LASERS and PHASERS for crying out loud.

I've never seen it degrade into quantitative comparisons before. That would be crazy!

(Trek pwns BTW)

All about quantifying the variuos achievments of the Empire and Federation, leading to the conclusion that a military confrontation between the two leads to the rapid and total destruction of Trek.

Rocks tend to explode when hit by phasers.

But there isn't a single super hero that I can think of that can travel faster than light. Sorry superheros just don't compare to a spaceship.

Many can. Teleportation. That is instantaneous.

Most superhero's disapear in a flash of light or some other cool effect. Much like a transporter really. But there is a difference between teleporting to another place on earth and traveling to unvisited distant planets.

Who says Nightcrawler can't teleport to said planet?

Going that fast into the unvisited distance is just as dangerous one way or the other. Going faster than the speed of light into a rock you didn't know was there will drive up your spaceship insurance.

he has to see where he's going to land, if he misjudges the planet's surface by even just 20 feet or so, he falls to his death, not fun

That's what sensors are for.

Here's a tally of the Enterprises superhero comperable abilities:

• Sheilds
• Warp Drive
• Phasers
• Transporters (estimated range is the diameter of the earth.)
• Photon Torpedoes
• Long Range sensors
• Subspace Comunication
• Tractor Beam
• Shuttle and Cargo Bays
• Ability to split into two ships.

Did I forget anything?

Shuttlecraft!

Shuttlecraft!

Well, Silver Surfer and Thor certainly outclass the Enterprise when it comes to shields (endurance) and phasors - probably speed too.

I think the GL can output more damage than the Enterprise, too. But people in Iron Man's category are quite outclassed.

 

[Truronian]

Sheilds

Invisible Woman

Warp Drive

Silver Surfer

Phasers

Cyclops

Transporters (estimated range is the diameter of the earth.)

Blink

Photon Torpedoes

err... The Human Torch?

Long Range sensors

That rubbishy guy from Heman with the extendable neck

Subspace Comunication

Proffesor X

Tractor Beam

Magneto

Shuttle and Cargo Bays

Thunderbird 2

Ability to split into two ships.

Multiple Man

I don't care who wins, I just want to see the pretty explosions!

(I would pwn after the two sides destroyed each other.)

On a closely related subject I bought a book not so long ago which is an X-Men - TNG crossover. I came across it when browsing and my curiosity was peaked, I haven't had a chance to read it yet

Don't read it, it's horrible. Let's just say Wesley Crusher is a major player in the resolution.

Enterprise-D = Uncanny X-men

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Wasn't there an X-Men/Star Trek The Original Series crossover? I have a book that wonders if the sole reason for the crossover is so someone could shout "Dr. McCoy!" and both Bones and the Beast turn round.

 

[Sidhe]

*gag* Time to create a new thread....

What did I do, break one of the ten commandments of comic Geekery or what?

Yeah, there was. The TNG/X-men crossover references it (but I've never read the original, so I can't say if it was as horrible as the TNG/X-men one).
