    Anyone have enough oomph here to take on Sentry? I mean...I don't know, but the ones with which I have familiarity sure don't.

    Blue Marvel maybe...

    I think like... classic Supreme perhaps? I know Suprema had like... feats of wrestling universal concepts or something.

    And Plutonian was meant to be a full on reality warper at his best so he might have a shot.

    Blue Marvel has already lost at least one fight to Sentry in comics. Bob admitted he had to put in full effort, but still. Sentry can also return from being atomized or having his head blown off. He can pull the molecules of most of these guys apart with transmutation as well.

    Buuut... if Plutonian or Supreme really are high level reality warpers or can grapple with abstract universal entities, that should be too much. I know nothing about those characters so cannot speak to their abilities personally.

    Which version of Supreme? That's going to likely decide this.

    Otherwise the Sentry, probably.

    I will note that Icon would NOT fare well in this company.

    I’m not familiar with Samaritan or Omni Man.

    And which version of the Sentry? and which Supreme?

    If we are talking Death Sentry, he likely takes this. Otherwise, I lean towards straight crazy insane Supreme.

    I don't see Prime and Icon lasting here at all.

    EDIT: I just forgot that the Sentry straight up harassed Molecule Man.

    I think the biggest Suprema stuff, I mean she's not in this Rumble but it's literally all I know, comes from one story so grain of salt?

    The thing is, as powerful as Suprema appeared to be, all the other Supremes (including Moore's version) were shitting bricks when old, crazy Supreme was released in Erik Larsen's ark (which was the last arc of the book).

    He was shown to be flat out the most powerful Supreme.

    Edit: It was Sister Supreme that featured. I'm not Suprema was involved.

    That suprema feat is wildly inconsistent with other stuff from the run like being beaten by someone who was having trouble inside the earth's core

    So Moore had this meta thing going after an in plot character reset where the current (post crisis) versions of the characters would reflect back on their own (pre crisis) careers and events from them coming back to them hazily post crisis so if you consider that a different character from the ones that turned up in the post crisis stories, maybe. But then again it's also emphasised that they are essentially the same character (like with the actual DC thing) down to events from those Pre crisis stories playing a direct role in the (main) Post crisis story. And even if they weren't I'm pretty sure it defaults to the "modern" post crisis version of the character anyway, from that run
