pre crisis superboy vs Mo'nel

[CDTM]

Always wanted to see this.

Who wins?

Did they never actually do this one? That's kind of sad.

I dunno either. But, Daxamites were stated on numerous occasions as being exactly equal with Superboy/Superman....

..then again, Daxamites were stated as being STRONGER then Superman post crisis, and that hasen't really been the demonstrated case..

[Smokey]

well then i'd say superboy, since IIRC mon el was knocked around by daxamites

I dunno why, but for some reason Mon just strikes me as more of a fighter. He did go right after those Darkseid servents, freezing them up then chasing down Darkseid himself, where he got put in a coma... Just seems more agressive.

But maybe Superboys kicked some ass himself...

i think mon el would probably be more aggressive, it would only get interesting once he pissed superboy off, then i dont know if he could handle it seeing as superboy is equal to a daxamite, but if superboys equal wouldnt superman be stronger then a daxam?

They're both young. And anyways, PC characters basically had their max power levels as an infant.

Except Mon-El was in his twenties while Superboy was in his teens.

You sure about that? I could've sworn the Legion had an age cut off, which was sometime after 16-18 or so, and then they kicked out the former member after memory wiping him.

Looks like it's just a limit for induction, not expulsion.

[Gumbo Maximillian]

Well; I remember he was definately older than clark, too old to go to the school with him and he had to pretend to be a salesman who travelled the country.

[CDTM]

But if all members must have at least one unique power, then how does Ultra Boy and Mo'nel coexist? Ultra Boy basically has all the powers a daxamite does, only he can use them one at a time.

Or how about Superboy being a member?

It also says no one with artificial powers could be a member. Guess that rules out Captain America or Iron Man.

And yet, didn't Brainiac 5 have nothing but his tech? So what's his genuine super power?

Don't forget Supergirl and Saturn Girl, not the telepathic one.

You're right. I think Supergirl was just a reservist though, so they might have different standards... But, I'm pretty sure Superboy was a bona fide full member.
