    Default Elemental Showdown: Storm vs Crystal vs Gloriana

    Storm


    Crystal


    Gloriana


    The Setup

    There has been an unprovoked attack on the Braddock Academy. All suspicion falls on the new mutant gate. A newly installed Krakoan gate, glowing, sits on the lawn of the Braddock Academy. "It wasn't doing that before!", yells Luna Maximoff. All of the parents of the students have been notified of the attack, including a certain Crystalia Amaquelin of the Inhumans, mother of Luna. On the other side of the gate, it's strange behaviour has also been noted. The mutant hero Storm of the X-Men has been dispatched to investigate what's going on. The headmistress of the Braddock Academy Meggan Braddock has come out onto the lawn to greet Crystal and explain exactly what has happened, unfortunately at the same time Storm arrive via the Krokoan gate.

    Due to recent issues between the Inhumans and the Mutants, action trumps reason and Crystal attacks Storm. A battle ensue and Meggan tries to break up the fight, but is quickly losing her patience.

    The Rules

    Crystal is kinda bloodlusted and Storm is right behind her as the battle heats up! Meggan is right behind storm as she realises this is getting out of hand. No one is trying to kill and they are willing to beat the living hell out of each other.




    Who will win?

    The inhuman/mutant conflict ended. Crystal wouldn't attack Storm if she's just walking through the gate.

    They would talk it over and try to find a solution.

    Pssst. Here we make them fight each other, unless thread starter says otherwise.

    BTW: How did Meghan come back? She died containing some of Wanadas House Of M whacky power from it doing multiverses damage or what not.

    Her capable of handling something like that makes her a real power house here.

    Well the idea is that someone just attacked her daughter's school, she not really in the right frame of mind. The conflict may have ended, doesn't really mean there isn't any bad blood.

    Meggan has been back since Secret Invasion(2008).


    Yeah we make them fight, just an academic exercise to discuss powers and ability between 3 similar heroes.

    Probably Meggan she seems to have the most going on in terms abilities. Crystal is really strong but being one of the more peaceful and least used Inhumans leaves her short in power demonstrations. She hasn't really been over the top since the 90s and she would need that to beat Storm let alone Meggan.

    I kinda feel like Meggan kinda in the same position as Crystal, doesn't really have many showings that demonstrate ability but it's also true she has a lot of abilities. No to clued up on Storm so maybe can speak to what she can really do.

    I unfortunately don't know enough about Meggan, but between Storm vs Crystal I have to give this to Crystal. Anything Storm can do Crystal can do better, and by that I mean control. Multiple places state Storm's power is to the Molecular level while Crystal's is to Atomic in theory it doesn't matter what Storm brings Crystal can just send it right back at her. I say in theory because this did happen once, but Storm received also a head blow by Quicksilver so can't put that on an even fight. Another big advantage is arsenal since Crystal has twice as many elements to choose from. As put above Storm is used more so she has more impressive feats, I would look at less most impressive but instead most common because as we all know A character is as powerful as the writer wants them to be with obviously writers wanting their characters to be the next big thing to be the norm. However if you can put scientific backing into it that increases the chance of being canon, and no magic can t be used since they are manipulators not generators they can only use what they have on hand.

    If they aren't trying to kill each other, then this mostoy comes down to who has the easiest time with a non-lethal takedown. Storm can suffocate people with a vacuum for a knock out, evidently, which seems pretty good.

    If you need feats for Crystal she has been shown raising Attilan out of the ground and controling stone golems. She's sucked the air out of people's lungs to make them pass out. Has held an air bubble in space to keep alive. Can tell if air is breathable and how pure it is. Can tell if a soil sample isn't native to the area. I'm not as familiar with the other two sadly- can Storm control earth like Crystal can?
    Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Meggan once got so angry that she almost destroyed the Earth fighting Galactus, not quite an elemental feat. I found a nice feats thread for Meggan for those who are interested.
