1. Black Bolt's attack is the weakest of those three things.
2. Aquaman is the biggest wimp ever and it's always been funny that DC tries so hard to make him look like he should be taken seriously.
3. From what I know the Infinity Watch is actually the weakest of those three groups.
4. I don't know. I think it was all pretty crappy. DC's most epic, tho, was "Crisis", of course.
5. In Marvel there's some slim chance you'll get a bit of respect now and then, in DC there's no chance you won't job to Superdork no matter how much better a character than him you are.
6. Don't know Nabu. Cyttorak is evil, so he'll probably torture you and stuff, and I don't really know the Vishanti. So Shazam, I guess.
7. Thor. He's used to fighting guys more powerful than himself.
8. Super-speed. It's not nearly as powerful in the books as all fans think it should be. If you read the books you'll notice that there are countless instances where one character with no speed can say upwards of several words before a guy who's as fast as light actually reaches him. Speedsters and speed are not nearly as powerful on the books as they logically should be and that's fine, what's not fine with is that nobody but me realizes it. Speedsters lose to non-speedsters all the time, and everyone has the attitude that all characters should have super-speed. One thing I always liked about Marvel characters is that they *don't* have super-speed. And one word I can't stand is "speedblitz", it's a stupid nerd word made up to sound cool, like "toonforcer" and all that other crap.
