Now this is kinda interesting, especialy considering Raiden as one of the only real contenders vs a marvel character.
This is what I was talking about with MKF a couple pages ago. Raiden would not loose to a marvel character such as Magneto. Natural aging would definatly be a factor in a battle like this because Raiden is forever//A God. Been that way since the beginning so you can only anticipate he will remain that way.
Now, as far as powers are conserned, Magneto can control the element Raiden holds god hood over on a atomical level. But that does not defeat a god of thunder and lightning either. To defeat an elemental god would be to defeat the element itself. Imagine for a second Magneto manipulating his own elemental control trying to defeat a god. Not very smart on the proclaimed 'genius' part if you ask me.
Besides that, there is the issue of manipulating Raidens physical form. Even down to the molecular aspect of Raiden, he would still hold "God-hood" over the element. Thus, as long as the elements of thunder and lightning exsisted, Raiden needs no physical form to be "alive".
Take that in for a second......
The human body is a virtual battery, largly relying on electro-magnetic pules to keep it'self alive. The heart....friction.....negative and positive poles in our own atomosphere. That alone could allow Raiden exsistance and in effect, a threat to a character as powerful as Magneto. No matter what Magneto would manipulate of the physical form of a Raiden "God of thunder and Lightning". Raiden doesn't need to take a physical form to kill a mutant.
So unless Magneto was willing to sacrifice himself and evrey thing magentic in the realm of this universe to effectivly "kill" Raiden, he would be fighting a loosing battle. Remember, Magneto is a human..........with overly exceptional powers no less. But a human. He has to rest and consume energy to stay alive in some form or another. Raiden does not and we know this.
On the other hand, Magneto is a genius in molecular stuctures and common sense of his powers. Overly, in fact. So much so that he can clone a grown human, create organisms, and disect and assemble extremly difficult mechanics with a mere thought. Not to mention he could effect our known universal settings with his powers though consentration. In the eyes of humans that is a "God".
Magneto is not to be taken lightly in any sense of his description. He could most definatly fight a god and have more than a "chance" of winning.
He is capable of cloning himself if you look between the lines here and teach himself of future or past events though that clones timed placement. I believe this was shown to us through a comic or two, but since I'm not sure...I will not comment further.
IF...he was smart (pun right? he's a genius) enough, and capitolized on the opportunity he might be able to capture the human form of Raiden and prevent a battle in the first place from happening. (in mortal kombat he took the form of a human like teice right?)But what's more likley during confontation from Magneto to Raiden? The easiest ways he could think of, he would try to defeat Raiden right then.
IMO, No Go for Magneto.
For facts like these I believe Raiden could defeat some, if not all of the people in Ermac36s' post at the top. Proffesor X, Mr. Sinister, Vulcen, and maybe even Apocolypse. (yes, even Apocolypse if you size them up correctly)
Apocalypse needs to move his "energy" and or "consciousness" to sustain long life. Raiden doesn't. "Apocalypse is a mutant with the ability to alter his atomic structure." So does Raiden have that capabilty, but within his own element(one limitation there).
"He(Apocalypse) has super strength, does not seem to need sustenance of any kind, and can recover from devastating physical injuries that would kill most humans and mutants."
Raiden has proven all this to us as well. Look him up. Raiden could very well win here too.
I used quotes from this site, both definitions of Apocalypses' powers and abilities. Find both Apocalypses' descriptions on
this page here. Now tell me I'm wrong.
Raiden, my most favorite MK character of all time is a "monster" in battle when you break down the powers. And he could most definatly compete with some of the most powerful mutants in the marvel universe......and win.
Think again guys I am not a "fanboy"
One this current battle, and the comparison between Baraka and Wolverine, Baraka would loose man. It's not an even match at all. The "healing" abilities of both Sabertooth and even greater Wolverine surpass anything Baraka and his hordes would be likey to do to them. They can die, Wolverine and Sabertooth, but nothing short of catastarophic damage to the brain would suffice. Yes, yes, the skeleton thing with Wolveine. The brain is protected by the skeleton. Sabertooth and Wolverines skeletons are the most protective metal you can imagine. No "impale" or attempt at a decapitation from Barakas' "swing" or swipe is going to so the trick. It's just not. Wolverine takes anything you can throw at him and recovers. You'd have to drop like a mountain on Sabertooth or Wolverine in order to just stop their persuit of you. i.e. send them to regeneration "hell"(can't move but stay alive the whole time).
See folks they have vulnerabilities, you just have to find them. That's why marvel is so fun to us. The whole question of.........
"How the hell do you beat that?"
Hide and go seek time when it comes to marvel characters......
Now, try and "find" the vulnerability in the following battles and exploit them through the facts of that character and the character you favor.
And then explain it to us logically.
