   It’s not much, at least it kicks off the fight.

   Was kind of looking forward to using current Lex, not sure if he could win or not be he seems to make more use of his armor now that he’s on the league.

   Can’t find much for preN52 other then he has a suit made by apokolips. It could take a pounding from supes and hit hard enough to make him bleed.

   He fought pre-flashpoint Braniac, who was average-Superman tier.

   Captain Atom answering the age old question about Cosmic Tier Comic heroes:
   Why do they always just mindlessly punch each other? Instead of using all their hax & speed?

   One of the greatest mysteries of my entire life has been answered thanks to Ragnorke, truly I am in your debt for eternity + 1.

   Pretty sure Lex has the intelligence advantage over Osborn though. The stuff he’s made is just weirder and more advanced than what Osborn tends to cook up.
   Although half of that might be the setting I suppose.

   War Suit lex has beaten Superman 2 or 3 times, but it was always with kryptonite.
   Infact i think the suit is literally powered or imbued with liquid Kryptonite.
   So that feat isn’t worth much.
   –
   Other than that… If this is composite pre-flashpoint Lex, he should get his Orange power ring right?
   Which makes this a curbstomp.

   The Iron Patriot armor isn’t Durable. At all.
   I’m pretty sure Daken didn’t even have adamantium, that’s literally just bone claws.
   –
   I can’t find very many speed feats for him either.

   Spiderman held his own against him. So that doesn’t say a lot.

   Cyclops fought him too, during the Dark Avengers vs X-men. And kept him busy for a good 15-30 minutes.

    Osborn’s Iron Patriot armor was literally Tony Stark’s tossed out scraps cobbled together….Osborn made the repulsors crap by making them star shape..which screwed with the power output…
    He’s literally wearing the stuff Tony left in a pile of stuff he wasn’t going to use that he repainted.

    Turns out Blue Marvel is a rip-off of a rather old DC character called “Icon”.

    And no, i’m not just saying that because they’re both black.
    They’re both low-tier Superman-esq characters.
    They both have rather limited appearances,
    They have have that “puffy” look to their capes, in comparison to the Slim/Straight capes that Superman has,
    Icon has control over “Positrons” and positive energy, which surprise surprise, is an opposite/parallel to Dark Energy & Anti-matter.

    Jus’ sayin, Marvel needs to get more original.
    The helmet was a nice addition though.

    Lex has stronger armor and is more intelligent. But Osborn has more experience fighting armor suits and is fraking insane and less predictable. To be honest I want to say Lex. He’s delt with insane people before and has even manipulate the Joker.

    According to Skype, it’s Xornells birthday today.
    Not sure how accurate that is, but if it’s true, Happy Birthday Xornell! xD
