At the moment, Blue Beetle's true power is a little undefined. However, in the last issue he suggested that he may well have the fire power to take out the Spectre. He didn't use it because they're well into WMD power levels and he doesn't want to kill people. No holds barred would definitely be Blue Beetle if that's true. Since neither of them are killers, I'd say Superman because he has more non-lethal options (I haven't read the other thread).

Its been stated that the scarab would kill if it can. But Jaime is the only one who stops it from killing. In the issue with guy and Jamie fighting that guy who made them blind Jamie stated that there are three people with them. And the he is the only one stopping the scarab. So if he let the scarab loose in this battle I believe its possible for him to win. But just normal Jaime I am unsure.
Cosmic Sentinel says:
"That's why I said Beetle would win if it's all in. The Spectre is way more powerful than Superman. Everyone in the recent Blue Beetle comic just assumed he was out of his league too. It's at the end he tells his dad and Paco that the scarab was giving him increasingly more devestating options. If he really can nuke the Spectre, then Superman is no trouble."
I have to get that comic. And I think bb is going to win this fight.

Yea. He is awesome.

Superman every time. Even if Superman acts like he does in comics and let's BB hit him with a kryptonite ray, it wouldn't stop him. It might hurt, might slow him down, but unless it's some ridiculous level of attack (higher than anything he's shown thus far, and as such, impossible to prove he could pull off) it's just going to tell Supes not to get hit again. With his super speed it would be very easy to avoid any attack BB could launch or has launched yet, and then he just needs to pummel him into unconsciousness (or just flick him in the forehead). BB's powerful for a hero of his type and a great character, but he hasn't shown anything to put him on Superman's level yet. He's alluded to powerful weaponry, but he hasn't shown it at this point in time. And like I said in the other thread, just because the armor thinks an attack should work, doesn't mean it will (as shown against the Spectre already).

Uh-oh. There goes Buck, with that 'master plan' sh!t. :P
But, anyway, you're right.

The last time I heard of the realtionship the scarab has with gl corps was when guy filled him in about a war going on between them. Oh and the green lantern ring calls him a monster. I have a pic give me a sec.

Bart Allen punched BB multiple times, making him bleed. And, thats with the armor on. So, there's no doubt that a flick to the forehead from Supes would knock him out cold.

The flick thing was just to show that Superman probably wouldn't have to exert himself very much. I don't know if a flick would be enough, but that wasn't really the point I was making.

The Reach (the race that made the armor) are enemies of the Guardians. They fought a lot and eventually made a truce. The terms were basically that the Reach aren't allowed to take over cultures anymore (which they still do, but secretly). That's basically why the armor reacts badly when GLs are around (and why rings try to kill BB), it's because they're old enemies and while the actual creators don't fight anymore, the weapons still clash.

Superman is much stronger than any Flash and has comparable speed. Just because some punches from a teenaged speedster didn't kill him, doesn't mean Superman couldn't take him down with a finger. Anyway, see the first part of this post.

thanks for that info...
might explain a bit more coming upto the Light War... wonder if The Reach are going to step up to bat with the Controllers and the Zamorrans coming out of the shadows...
could be interesting

First thought after your post was of the Reach making a blue ring to combat the green ones, but that's just silly. Right?

Not from what ive read
The reach allied with sinestro, and each combined with the other's tech to make this beast. The Reach, most likely, took the ring schematics, and can develop their own.

Issue 20, Sinestro's Reach. A spioler alert scarab implanted into Peacemaker eariler activates after a Sinestro Corper dies, and sends him the ring. They activate and take control of him, after the reach higher ups visit earth. Presumably, knowing the reach, they gleamed the schematics, as the beetle did return to them.
the more i think about that, the more it doesn't ring true...
i can't see Sinestro giving the specs of the ring over to anyone, least of all a possible enemy. he's too intelligent for that.
also, on a separate note, how advanced are the Reach? i can't see them being on The Guardians, Controllers or Zamorrans level of technology and not have appeared as a major force in the universe yet, especially if they had the specs of a power ring at their disposal.

hmmm... did some research on them...
i'm guessing this is a major retcon then, if The Reach are so powerful that The Guardians made a nonaggression pact with them, that already puts them on The New God's level of power...

Well when they make an armor that has some gl rings abilities and a lot of it own what do you suspect? lol

The reach are pretty powerful. I guess they wanted to make an enemy to the gl that didn't have a ring.

From most of the comics I've read lately, I could take on Darkseid with a rolled up newspaper. DC really need to re-establish his badassiness.

Technically, the speed Bart was hitting him, it wouldn't matter if it was Superman punching. Punching at near light speed would be hitting with a near infinite mass. That was Beetle off-guard, later, as the fight continues, BB uses an energy bubble to protect himself andstuns Bart as he tries to breach it. I still maintain that if they both square up for an all out fight, then BB takes it. Superman wins if we take character into account as neither Jaime or Superman will kill and Superman is used to weilding his powers in nonlethal ways.
