After watching the Avergers movie and pondering quite a lot about the power level of the heavy hitters of the Marvel universe, I began to wonder wha twould be the outcome of such an invasion. Naturally, I thought Dakka would be an adequate place to hold such a debate. The premises are few and simple:

-The Imperium wants the planet relatively intact, so any form of Exterminatus is not an option.

-The Imperium can only dispose of the forces it would normally use to perform a similar opperation (meaning it can't just throw every Space Marine in the galaxy at the Earth or land a few thousand Titans on it).

-Both heroes and villians (to a certain extent) will fight together to defend their planet.

-Earth is fully aware of the incoming invasion.

-The time period in which this takes place is shortly after the Secret Invasion.

-Marvel's heavy hitters (Thor, Black Bolt, Hulk, Sentry...) would stand on a level similar to that of a Primarch. This may be open to discussion if there is too much disgression about it.

-The Imperium can ward themselves against any attempt from Doctor Strange, Doctor Doom or any spellcaster to banish them all (or any similar spell that would end the conflict abruptly).

All else is up to us to discuss.

Batman wins.

Have you seen the movie?

Even if there were primarchs there.

Hulk.... Smash.

End of The Imperium.

Hulk vs Angron! BATTLE OF THE ANGER!

The fact of the matter is having even a couple of ships in orbit will give the Imperium a huge advantage. Even assuming their ships wouldn't be able to detect the Helicarrier, it would only take a lance strike or two to obliterate it.

I can't think of many instances that couldn't be solved by application of Imperial Navy firepower.

I think the OP means a planetside fight.

The avengers with the highest chance of survival would be Thor and Hulk, since they are both so damned resilient.

Everyone else dies.

The Hulk would do some significant amount of damage, but would eventually succumb to the sheer amount of lascannon fire. Not sure if he would die though.
Same deal with Thor, I guess.
And this is not including the involvement of psykers.

I reckon that iron Man & War Machine could do a good job of wrecking Imperial face when the fight gets dirstside. they'd probably tear up a few landers too on their own....

Of course, eventually their armour would get frazzled by magma cannons and Earthshaker shells!

Well it would probably turn out like this...

And lascannons and melta guns. I doubt the Iron Man suit can take a direct hit from a melta gun, I really do.
I mean, that thing can wreck Land Raiders, which are a lot more resilient than the Iron Man suit.

Isn't Vanilla Marvel Earth the one with this guy coordinating the defense?

that is fine for some of the avengers, but how about the rest of them?

Like Quicksilver, The Vision (Who has a a diamond-hard near invulnerability), the fantastic 4, Quasar, The Red Hulk (Yea there are two Hulks you have to deal with) and many more.

Not to mention the X-Men, and Magneto, who could turn titans into slag in an instant...

Marvel Earth wins. Hands down.

DeathReaper wrote:The Red Hulk (Yea there are two Hulks you have to deal with) and many more.

1. Capture Lucius.

2. Make Hulk angry (either will do)

3. Drop Pod in Lucius

4. ...


5. Profit!!



The other one will go to Lukas the Trickster.

And what do you do when Magneto makes ALL of the weapons of the Imperium worthless?

Magneto takes a Lascannon to the face.........

As far as i know light is'nt magnetic......

Mvh.

DeathReaper wrote: Magneto, who could turn titans into slag in an instant...

Get a regiment that is from a feral world and uses wood and stone weapons. Charge headlong into him. Also is there a range limit to Magneto's powers? If there is than the titans could just kill him from hundreds of miles away.

If worst comes to worst a few vortex missiles or grenades could bring down the hulk, red hulk, and Thor.

Alexzandvar wrote:Well it would probably turn out like this...

That isn't how the guard works, they would engage him with bayonets to keep him distracted while a thousand basilisks open fire.

This would be hugely funny. Marvel's Earth would be the greatest concentration of Alpha and above psykers the Imperium as ever met, probably even including the entire Eye.

But honestly all it takes is Deadpool to take an interest, and you'll soon have him juggling with the Emperor's bones. Alternatively, let Cable infect all Imperium machinery with his techno-virus.

Yes but can they stop time and go back into time and kill all of their mothers?

Magneto crushes all armies bar Nids. Hulk kills nids. Thor electricutes Necrons. Iron Man, meh.

If superman was about, game over.

When the barrel of that Lascannon looks like a pretzel, it is going to be tough to get a accurate shot on him...

wood and stone weapons are fine, but are easily countered by Magneto.
There is no known range limit to Magneto's Powers.

Yea that is about how it would go. The Punisher, Wolverine, Deadpool, Colossus, Cable, Jean Grey (Pheonix) the Imperium could not stand up to that.

and lets not forget Forge, who has intuitive knowledge of how to construct and understand anything of a mechanical nature, so now the Marvel Universe has all the tech that the Imperium brings as well...

This is marvel.
Not DC
Anyway.

Magneto would I think work for the Imperium seeing as he would like how they are ruled by a pysker which is basically a mutant. Plus untouchables. Bye bye super powers.
Grey knights + Witch Seekers. = Dead Marvel Universe.
Or. You know a PLanet Killer.

If worst comes to worst a few vortex missiles or grenades could bring down the hulk, red hulk, and Thor.

You do know that nothing, nothing can kill the Hulk but his own cancer, right? He will literally ressurect under all other known circumstances. The only thing that could be done would be to trap it in the Warp, Draigo style. And he would find a way out, eventually, and beat the crap of whoever put it there. There is no beating the Hulk (unless your Spidey). There is simply avoiding him until death comes another way.

And most Marvel big hitters would rape most Primarchs. You think smashing titans apart is a feat of psychik power? How about making the world a part of your psyche?

Chaos Daemons and Kaldor Drago
Oh and just for kicks. The Enslavers

vortex missile pulls you to another dimension he would be trapped.
Alpha Plus pyskers would kill Everything

Hulk lifts Thor's hammer. You cannot lift Thor's hammer without being Thor. Does 40k have an equivile.t.

Deadshot wrote:Hulk lifts Thor's hammer. You cannot lift Thor's hammer without being Thor. Does 40k have an equivile.t.

Yes. The God Killers. CHAOS.
You cannot pick up a daemon blade without getting corrupted.
Only the pure can pick it up and not feel the effects. or Your pretty stubborn SOB.
Daemon Blades, Witch Blades, daemon/Thunderhammers and any other xenos weapons are made out of metals that are not from this world. Plus in close quarters astartes would just pummel magneto. As Ceramite is not metal.

#1 this is The Imperium invading Vanilla Marvel Earth (Not Chaos)

#2 There is always metal around, Chainswords, Bolters wiring from the Astartes armor, Astartes lose against Magneto.

#3 All that Tech you just listed? Forge now can make them as well.

Adamantium is in PA and is metal.

Forge?
You do realize Daemon Blades are not able to be made by mortals right? They are made by daemons. Plus the Alpha Pyskers would rip a whole in the earth and kill us all.

But that is disallowed as they want the planet.
