You're a dork Superheroes are better than wizards.

Fair enough. That almost makes me want to start back on my latest comic, but I really don't have the time to spare (I probably shouldn't even be on here right now

) and it's a coffee joke, so, eh.

"Harry Dresden - Wizard
Lost items found. Paranormal Investigations.
Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates.
No love potions, endless purses, or
Other entertainment."

Wizards kick ass compared to all superheroes, unless you count Jesse Custer as a supe.

Still better than the hat.

Speaking of Supes, who is one of the most powerful Supers, by the way. Anyone remember his other weakness, aside from Kryptonite?

THAT'S RIGHT. MAGIC.

ADVANTAGE: WIZARDS.

Well, as Barrel pointed out, Superman's powers essentially amount to being better than everything than anyone else, so with his ridiculous speed (which is just so he can be as good as the Flash, who is himself several orders of magnitude faster than light according to some poor fan who did the math DC didn't), he could easily take a person out before they could so much as start casting if the plot didn't dictate he needed to get roughed up a bit.

But then comparing other heroes to Supes is like comparing other DBZ fighters to Goku. His entire point is being the best, and if he's not the best in one thing, he has several other powers that give him the advantage, anyway.

Contingency spells Blues. Wizards can do that. Lay dormant, activate on death.

Supes super speed punches a Wizard and he finds himself suddenly teleported to the middle of a red star and the Wizard is getting back up from a true resurrection.

Alternatively, the spell Celerity. Activates immediately, gives the caster an action before anyone else can move. Also: Time Stop.

I'd pick a superhero whose power is being a wizard.

I think I have a real winner here, guys.

We should give up trying to convince Prem.

He's just going to keep being a Super-biased Wizard-hater.

Seriously, his only retort seems to be "Capes are cooler than dorky hats! Instant powers versus moldy books and hokey religions! Fuck magic, plot power for the win!"

Also... where do Jedi fit into this? I don't want to class them as superheroes... mainly because you DO need to study to get total mastery of your powers... and Jedi aren't one-trick ponies either, especially when we look at the Dark Side.

And I'd rather be a Wizard than a Super... something about spacious robes just seems right to me... as opposed to HOMOEROTIC SPANDEX AND CAPES.

For the record, cloaks are cooler than capes.
