    Default Garou & Saitama vs. Adam (Record of Ragnarok)

    Not 2v1. These are 1v1 fights.

    Let's assume Adam's copying ability works as intended despite the fact that his opponents are mortal.

    Who takes this? How does Garou's copying interact against Adam's?

    No limits fallacy would seem to cap out Adam waaaaaaaaaaaay before he can equal Saitama or Garou. I wouldn't handwave him the ability to approach the power in Saitama's big toe. Saitama simply operates on a massively higher scale.

    How fast is Baldy nowadays? Faster than RoR Zeus and his faster than time (or whatever it was) punch thing?

    That's the no limits fallacy coming to play. Here, he can only copy things up to what he has actually copied before. Saitama sneezes and destroys a lot of Jupiter. Adam hasn't busted a city-sized chunk of land or taken anything like that. RoR just doesn't operate on anything approaching the scale of OPM.

    But if he can copy time powers from a god why not super strength? I would agree if we were talking about say TOAA but opm is just Physical powers right?

    Explain what this means as a point of comparison. By what metric do time powers compare to sneezing away a mass many many many times greater than the Earth? In what way does being a god compare to being Saitama?

    I figured copying time powers would at least make it possible to copy god like strength or at least make it possible like if you can copy Reality warping you can probably copy time control right? Other than that I really didn't say being a god really had anything to do with it as opm can definitely kill any god on that show Also the powers don't compare I never said they did just wondering how copying works.

    I mean you said "if Adam can copy that time skip thing why not Saitama punching?" Specifically in response to a no-limits citation, which sounds a lot like saying they're related. The point here is that there's nothing about copying "time powers" that actually tells us anything about the scale of powers he can copy except that esoterics are possible. There's nothing about Zeus being "a god" that helps there either. Those things can mean anything. They don't mean he can go wildly beyond the scale of anything shown in his own comic.

    OK I didn't really say it did and well that's not what I meant sorry for the confusion good day.
