SILVER SURFER vs DR MANHATTAN

These boys are ridiculously overpowered and yet they both remain big fan favorites. Other-worlder Norrin Radd, forced into the service of Galactus, rebelled against his master to save Earth. Even though he commands the Power Cosmic, he continues to ache for his humanity, longing just to be human. Physicist Jonathan Ostermann, disintegrated in an Intrinsic Field Subtractor, reconstructed himself. With unimaginable power, he decreasingly finds himself able to relate to humanity. A truly cosmic battle!

 Limitation

Jon has no free will per se. He sees everything through time and knows what he must and will do. He displays no surface emotion, but he does feel however. A concentrated burst of tachyon aimed at him will cloud nullify his precognitive abilities for 1-10 rounds. Dr Manhattan has no resistance to Tachyon energy, bypassing his invulnerability
 

FIGHT!

ROUND 1- Manhattan has the initiative and grabs the Surfer's board with his mind. The Surfer feels the resistance and turns himself, and the board intangible. Manhattan's grip is released. Surfer shrinks himself and the board to atomic level.

ROUND 2- Manhattan can perceive Surfer, but not reach him. Manhattan tries to breach the forcefield by reducing himself to molecules and reassembling on the outside. The forcefield stops him. Surfer sends a burst of tachyon energy at Manhattan, injuring Manhattan. Surfer grows back to normal size.

ROUND 3- Surfer has the initiative and hits Manhattan with 2 more tachyon bursts. Mahattan's health drains to 0. Surfer wins!
