Mr. Fantastic, Spider-Man & Forge Vs. The Flash, Green Lantern & Batman

The Flash is Barry Allen. Each team gets one week to prepare for the fight. The fight is to the KO or Death and takes place in New York City. Heroes would prefer to avoid collateral damage.

ummm, so? I was not talking about Forge..

My point is that while Batman couldn't duplicate the Ring in a week, Forge could.

u/rph39 ​ Jul 14 '14

oh, yeah Forge could though I think it more likely he'd build something to cut off the Ring from the Central Battery rather than fight an experienced Lantern with their own weapon

Yup.

It's one of those things that most people don't understand about Forge.

No matter how advanced the tech may be, as long as it's tech, the nature of Forge's power, allows him to duplicate it.

Forge does not need R&D anything. And he doesn't have to reverse engineer anything. The schematics/plans are instantly in his head.

yeah, giving Forge prep time is usually pretty unfair since he can literally make anything he wants though he sometimes does not even know what it does or how it works lol

I had to explain to someone, that Forge's power could be a Deus Ex Machina.

Thankfully the writers at Marvel haven't excessively abused this, otherwise we'd see "Forge is OP" here.

I mean a lot of people here, underestimate Forge.

I think a lot of people everywhere underestimate him lol

and you are very right, Marvel could make any machine "plausibly" work by just saying Forge made it

Also:

Forge - Mystic Shaman. He ain't no Doctor Strange or Doctor Fate. But he has a few spells and rituals here and there.

huh, I had no idea he dabbled in magic, though understandable how that can be overlooked lol

Way back in an unnamed conflict in South East Asia (originally Vietnam, but you know - Sliding Timescale), Forge's squad was wiped out. Forge cranked out his Mystic Shaman ritual and summoned demons who slaughtered his enemies.

Seriously, do not piss off Forge.

Some reading material about Forge's mystical adventure.
