"Attack On Marvel?": Attack On Titan/Marvel Crossover

Another Titan. Something big enough, strong enough, and fast enough to conteract their healing factor, which is Wolverine-level at the lowest.

You're not being imaginative enough. Smaller beings like Thor and Hulk could certainly break Titan bones or rip up Titan limbs before finishing them off. Or Wolverine could hamstring a Titan make it go timber then slice it's neck. Spider-Man could handle the five meter ones with just his fists too.

Do you know how fast they regenerate?

From what I've seen, they can regen within a few minutes depending on the wound.

A few minutes in a fight is practically an eternity. Temporarily disabling a Titan before going for the killshot is a perfectly viable strategy if you act quickly.

Also, once they do know the weakpoint, ordinary titans of any size would become trivial for Spidey.

We might not have to worry about him beforehand, either.◊

Eh, how tought is titan skin anyway? I mean, yeah, it can be definitely pierced, but its kinda hard to tell :p

And again, Titans aren't THAT slow. Plus they have convenience of randomly turning around to face a person leaping onto them and eating them in same turn

Spider-man can dodge gunfire and rend steel in his hands. He'd probably need a weapon of some kind to reliably bring titans down, but I don't see it being a problem.

For this crossover I expect them to dial him down a bit, honestly. They'd almost have to.

So I just realized how I hope the Marvelites learn the Titans' weakness: Karnak!

Hey, even Spiderman can't avoid horror fiction bs like random giant suddenly turning so that his swing arc is straight at mouth :p

Seriously though, I'm myself pretty confused at how the hell this cross over will work <_< I mean, I'm pretty sure titans aren't immune to being vaporized by energy beams and stuff

Enough to require a special blade to cut through. Most heroes shouldn't have problem, I guess, but I wonder how effect blunt force would be.

Far from that. They are actually rather agile and fast for their size. That is the whole point of the 3D Maneuver Gear, to give humans greater maneuverability to go around them. It is just they are usually far to stupid and animistic to fight properly. Nothing Spider-Man and similar heroes can't handle, but more grounded characters might have problem. Even the likes of Captain America.

Until Wolverine figures out the whole nape of the neck thing, I predict the fight between him and a Titan will consist of stabbing, healing, getting eaten, clawing way out, wash, rinse, repeat.

I think the only way for this event to have any tension is for Spidey to have to handle this solo. Like, Thor could handle almost every Titan in the series like he was playing fucking golf in one afternoon.

He probably could. Spider-Sense and super agility would be really helpful there.

Other heroes could have trouble also. Daredevil, Captain America, Cyclops... But, yeah, I have hard time figuring how the titans would be even a slightly challenge to Thor. I guess they could be so many Thor wouldn't be able to deal with the efficiently without collateral damage but, still.

Thor could fly up outside of the Titans' reach and create a massive lightning storm, making each bolt hit the Titan in the nape of the neck.

So, according to what I've heard about the Titans thus far in this thread, against normal humans, they're freaking beasts, but if they were to go up against, say, the Avengers (with Thor and, better yet, the Hulk, She-Hulk, and Hercules in tow,) they'd be toast?

Yeah. The main terror about the Titans is that the humans have absolutely nothing to go up against these giant, superstrong, regenerating cannibal monsters. Their guns are useless, and even their technology that is created for the sole purpose of fighting Titans is, at best, mildly effective.

But against Marvel, (or just about any Superhero universe, for that matter,) they're weaksauce?

As far as we can tell, though there are some more powerful and interesting titans that could compete in a superhero setting, such as the shifters, seemingly ordinary people who are able to assume titan form. Many of them have unusual abilities, such as being coated in armor or godzilla-sized.

There are a handful of abnormal Titans that are stronger, faster, larger, and smarter than most Titans, but yeah, the Marvel heroes should be able to kill all of them in a week. And in a day and age where you shouldn't even bother writing a comic if the world isn't in danger of being swallowed up by the Ancient one at the end of the issue, this isn't even an event. This is what takes place off-panel while the heroes are talking about their fucking dayjobs.

Not quite. They are still giant regenerating beasts. They are all very strong and agile, and some of them are extra tough and smart. And in the original, they are a endless horde. Most of the street level heroes would have problems dealing twith even a single one, much less a dozen.

But, yeah, the big guys wouldn't have much issue. Hulk is a super strong regenerating beast himself, and I don't think the titans are strong enough to harm Thor, and they certainly don't have ways to deal with his thunder.

The Marvel heroes power level vary wildly. Titans are definitively dangerous to the lower and even mid "tier" heroes, but not so much to the top ones.

Just give Spidey a knife, and he'll take care of them in a weekend. His mastery of web-swinging and his superhuman agility would make the 3D maneuver gear look like slow motion.

Aren't the Survey Cops swords said to be of an special material/technology? I don't think any kitchen knife would do. But, yeah, with the right equipment, Spider-Man would be at last as effective as any characters of the manga, even not considering his Spider Senses. He is just one guy, though. Alone he can't do much and would eventually tire.

Like I said before, even the Military should be a big help.

.... Though there will certainly be some kind of plot contrivances or comic-book logic that render them useless.

Maybe Professor X could give them all aneurysms

I wonder how much of a mind the regular titans have, actually. Maybe not enough for the psychics to be any good against them.
