I think MK.

dc

MK does, it's their universe that DC are all entering in, seems logical enough to desipher that MK are the stronger.

that does make sense

Despite my love for MK, DC has the greater advantage, because they are more likely to work as a team.

DC would destroy MK

Now, I wouldn't say that.

Superman would destroy most MK characters except for the Gods.

Not if they used magic on him. Yet, it's a long shot, we all know how little magic MK has right?

Neither since it's balanced out power wise, but if I had to choose. I'd say MK because due to the merge DC's guys obviously losts SOME of their powers, while others haven't that much.

MK's guys I think some DC people underestimated from the get go honestly, I mean if you watch the MK:SM intro people like Sub, Cage, Sonya are very powerful human characters.....

I also like DC, just not as much as MK.

But it's not MK's universe, it's both of their universes (is it even possible to pluralize the word "universe"?) merged. Anyways, DC's heavy hitters will be nerfed, MK's characters will be buffed. It'll come to the point where individuals won't be making the difference.

Therefore, as someone else pointed out, it comes down to the fact that DC characters are more likely to co-operate with each other. Just look at who's been announced so far:

SubZ
Scorp
Sonya
Shang
Liu

Out of all those characters, one is an evil "out-for-number-one" villain, one is a neutral loner, only three have ever worked together, and only two work together regularly.

Now look at DC:

Batman
Superman
Flash
Catwoman
Captain Marvel

Now, four of those characters have worked together, three of those characters work together regularly, two of those characters have dated and have a mutual respect for each other.

So yeah, advantage, Detective Comics.

But really, I'm thinking DC good guys/neutrals and MK good guys/neutrals are going to end up working together against the Big Bad(s) and his/her/their minions.

thats right because flash super man and batman are part of the justice league

Let's take a look at the overall "magic" MK has:

- Shapeshifting
- Pyrokenesis
- Telekenesis
- Hydrokenesis
- Teleportation
- Super Speed
- Flight
- Superhuman Strength
- Mastering of the cold
- Summoning the dead and death-related figures
- Energy Production

I think that's more than enough magic.

It's called sarcasm man, jeez.

Um, yeah, at full power he would still rip through most MK characters. Magic doesn't weaken any of his abilities, he's just vulnerable to it.


In Pokemon terms:

Kryptonite Based Attack = Super effective

Regular attacks = Not Very Effective

Magic Attack = Normal Damage

Of course, if a "Make Superman as Weak as a Newborn Kitten" spell were cast on him, it would work, so that's how magic can be used against him effectively.

That last part of your post I said about a month ago, with my alliance thread. I remember so many fans(of course whining about it) NOT wanting any kind of "MK/DC alliances" against the baddies from both universes but this is the rather logical assumption given what we know. I agree.

{sigh} I didn't say it'd take his powers I said they could use it to beat him. Was anything I said a hint towards stealing his powers away? No.

Okay, if we were to exclude teamwork, MK would surely have the greater advantage.

The main attributes that the DC characters have (which also explains why DC Comics is so boring) are superhuman strength and flight. MK characters have conquered over the two many times.

Are we talking with no limitations?

Super Strength (As in capable of lifting several million tons)

Super Durability (After taking a beating from Doomsday Superman was thrown into an explosion equivalent to 1,000,000 nuclear bombs going off).

Flight

Superspeed (As in faster than the speed of light)

One of the smartest people to ever live

The greatest Martial Artist in the game

The list goes on

The same can be applied to MK.

What can be applied to MK?

No one in MK can exceed the speed of light.

No one in MK can lift several million tons.

No one in MK can take 1,000,000 nukes to the face after a severe beating and survive.

No one in MK has shown a prodigious intelligence

No one in MK has shown competence (let alone mastery) of more than 3 martial art forms (and Batman knows every single Martial art form on earth).

So what, what that I said can be applied to the MK characters?

No one in MK can exceed the speed of light. (Scorpion, Blaze, Sindel)

No one in MK can lift several million tons. (Jax, Kintaro, Goro)

No one in MK can take 1,000,000 nukes to the face after a severe beating and survive. (Raiden, Shinnok, Blaze)

No one in MK has shown a prodigious intelligence (Sektor, Sonya)

No one in MK has shown competence (let alone mastery) of more than 3 martial art forms (Bo' Rai Cho, Shujinko)

Read the comics, or at least play the games.

DC hands down. This from a MK fan. The overwhelming power makes it obvious. If DC didn't have the advantage then why would they weaken the DC characters for the game? Boon even said in the game trailer that if you can master Superman's powers you can dominate the game.

The ability to teleport isn't moving at the speed of light, it's the ability to teleport. Hell, the short distances they travel with their teleportation, even if they were running to get from point A to point B they wouldn't be moving at even the speed of sound.

Neither their minds nor bodies can respond to someone attacking at that speed. Which means they wouldn't be able to dodge or attack someone moving at that speed.



Bullshit. Plain and simple. When I see any of them pick up a mountain range I'll take back what I'm saying now.



Raiden died (and came back to life, but it still killed him) from an explosion that didn't even have the power of ONE nuke, let alone one million (the Tarkatans just outside of the palace all survived the explosion no problem, they weren't even scorched, hell, they weren't even knocked off of their feet)



Yeah, when? I can't think of ANYTHING that could be considered prodigious intelligence form Sonya. And Sektor using technology that already existed to make more people like himself? I'll give him smart, but nowhere NEAR the level of intelligence that Bruce brings to the table. Add to this fact that technological proficiency does not equal battlefield tacrics and planning and it really doesn't matter.



I'll give you Shujinko (who simply imitates other fighting styles, which does NOT mean he's proficient at it, let alone a master). Bo Rai Cho, however, we've only seen demonstrate two styles. Knowledge of other styles, once again does not mean either proficiency or mastery.



comics aren't canon and I play the game almost solely for the story as is, so I know what I'm talking about.
