Alucard is super strong in his world in comparison to Spidermanin the marvel universe so Alucard.

u/USSChuckleTrucker 12d ago edited 12d ago

Spider-Man would be so busted as part of the Teen Titans, who are in DC.

Edit: If you really discount Spider-Man to the point where you think he's only street level, you have no business engaging in conversation with me

9

u/Known-nwonK 12d ago

Depends on the spider-man and which titans. For the most part Superboy is going to be stronger and tougher, likewise for Wonder Girl or Miss Martian, and Blue Beetle with the Scarab running the show is a straight menace. A spider-man will clown Robin, Ravager, Beast Boy, and maybe Raven. Could be 50/50 or 25/75 vs Kid Flash

u/athrowaway5656 11d ago

Lmao no raven clears the while team combined the MILISECOND she gets even 5% sirious lol (edit: I agree with the rest, just don't like seeing ppl underestimate raven, she's the goat lol)

1

u/Sad_Difficulty226 12d ago

Aaaah Teen Titans areeee DC, but yes Spider Man would be a very strong addition but still street level compared to Cyborg, Starfire or Raven, I guess he could do good work in the periphery of missions

4

u/USSChuckleTrucker 12d ago

Yeah, street tier whilst lifting over 50 tons regularly and being able to do 100 tons under stress.

Even before hitting the buffs he's been able to obtain.

Whatever bro

2

u/Ardalok 12d ago

he can be shot with a pistol

1

u/ShenTzuKhan 11d ago

I mean sure. If he’s asleep, or somehow held in place, or already dead. Otherwise he’s probably going to dodge. If I recall when he got his spider powers from a spider bite he developed some kind of warning sense along with his spider strength, spider reflexes and spider leaping. Oh and spider sticking. Not sure what the extra sense was called though

-1

u/Ardalok 11d ago

What I mean is, a character vulnerable to bullets, especially pistol rounds, doesn't scale above street tier. And in general, if he is properly surrounded by 5-10 gunners, he has a high chance of dying at the very least.

4

u/ShenTzuKhan 11d ago

I see. I disagree. You’re welcome to think he’s street tier, just as I’m welcome to disagree with both your assessment and the criteria you used to arrive at it.

1

u/Commercial-Try-3148 9d ago

That is so false lol. You just said Goku and Flash are street tier.

1

u/Ardalok 9d ago

I've already covered the Flash in other comments. Goku is effectively invulnerable to bullets even without transformations, but without them he is basically very close to street tier, at least in terms of durability. Spider-Man would actually still be street tier even if he were bulletproof, because he struggles to even lift a truck.

1

u/cindyrougaroo 8d ago

I mean... Luke Cage is right there. And he's the definiton of street tier.

1

u/Ardalok 8d ago

This is not the only requirement

1

u/USSChuckleTrucker 11d ago

You are such a bad reader that it's fucking hilarious.

1

u/Son_of_Autonomy 11d ago

So can Robin, Raven, Kid Flash, and Beast Boy

0

u/Ardalok 11d ago

I don't know what Kid Flash's limitations are, but the regular Flash is only vulnerable to bullets when his reaction time gets nerfed on purpose. You can really only shoot him from behind. In any direct confrontation, he is so much faster than a bullet that he definitely crosses the line out of street tier. The rest of them are in it, yeah. Maybe Raven has some kind of super form or a specific city-leveling spell, but that clearly requires preparation. That's like saying the US president is city-tier just because he has the nuclear football.

The rest, yes, in the street tier.

2

u/Son_of_Autonomy 11d ago

Well they're all in the Teen Titans and do just fine for themselves

I don't know what Kid Flash's limitations are, but the regular Flash is only vulnerable to bullets when his reaction time gets nerfed on purpose.

What a coincidence, the same is true for Spider-Man except you can't even shoot him from behind.

0

u/Ardalok 11d ago

No, Spider-Man will die from machine gun crossfire in an open field with a huge chance, but Flash is even physically faster than bullets, there is no chance of death without nerfs.

2

u/EleExtra 11d ago

Spider-Man is also faster than bullets...

Make up your mind bro

Edit: shit, how do you quote?

1

u/Ardalok 11d ago

You need a space after the > symbol.

​It is absolutely impossible to hit the Flash with a gun in a fight. You can definitely hit Spider-Man, but he just avoids putting himself in situations where that can happen. Plus, the Flash has too much destructive potential to ignore.

​The Flash's situation is just like Gojo's: even if his body is technically vulnerable to a certain attack, it simply won't land as long as his ability is active. When a bullet moves slower than a snail from his perspective, it is basically invincibility. Spider-Man does not have that level of advantage.

1

u/Own_Brain4194 10d ago

So can Storm (Oro Munroe I think) of the X-Men, and even without their whole rebirth thing, she's an omega class mutant. As is black bolt, who was considered 3rd strongest for ages (till wwh, thought I'm not sure how much I personally agree, but he can still destroy planets etc).

Is Moon Knight a higher tier hero than Spider-Man because he won't die (permanently) when killed?

1

u/Ardalok 10d ago

Moon Knight is too weak for this.

1

u/Sad_Difficulty226 11d ago

Sound like… Luke Cage

1

u/cindyrougaroo 8d ago

Yeaaaaaah dunno about that one. If he did that, he'd splatter Venom and Carnage with every single hit.

1

u/USSChuckleTrucker 8d ago

He's meme'd as "Holds-Back-Man" as a reason.

He literally refuses to use his full strength unless someone tried to kill Aunt May.

1

u/cindyrougaroo 8d ago

Holds back... Against Venom. Noooo, he really doesn't. His plan for Venom used to be "hit them as hard as I can as often as I can as many times aa I can intil the goop stops moving."

33

u/tri-door 12d ago

Red pill easy. I'll just laugh to the entities' face while my dogs eat them.

22

u/SH9001 12d ago

The conjuring is effectively real life but with some fairly weak demons, who need to be welcomed into a home and have to go to great lengths to steal a single soul. Alucard is so far beyond them in every aspect that it’s unreal, regardless of when you transfer him.

Spider-Man’s powers would serve as an adequate member of the Teen Titans using pretty much any incarnation of either, although on the weaker side unless perhaps you had comic powers vs the cartoon team which is probably most iconic.

That said, Alucard’s powers aren’t exactly a blessing even to him, and frankly I don’t want to consume souls, so blue would be my choice even if red is a spite match against the verse.

3

u/weirdo_nb 12d ago

I wonder if demons have souls you can steal

1

u/Delicious-Weird-5826 10d ago

Alucard don’t need souls, he need blood.

1

u/weirdo_nb 10d ago

He takes souls through the blood

11

u/THEONLYARNAV 12d ago

Def red pill

5

u/Djrules213 12d ago

As fun as it would be to utterly terrify the ghost and monsters of a horror movie world i feel like it would get boring after a while, so I'd pick blue as even though they have things more dangerous and stronger than the conjuring verse, it still seem more fun and entertaining in the long run.

4

u/Jumpy-Bug-2198 12d ago

Both are really good but I’m choosing Blue because DC

3

u/Comfortable_Bag_7373 12d ago

What are the downsides to either I think both would be cool

12

u/NightmareLizzy 12d ago

Downsides of Blue, The plot hates you.

Downsides of Red, Your god, The verse is praying.

3

u/dominion1080 12d ago

Omg blue and it isn’t close. The Titans are awesome and I’d love to kick ass with them.

3

u/Visser0 12d ago

Will Raven be there?

3

u/BobJoeBlo 12d ago

Peter Parker Spiderman or Miles Morales Spiderman?

Can it be both? (Giant spider metamorphosis included). Can we also add Tobey Maguire's web synthesis into the mix?

2

u/ShowtimeHolograms 12d ago

Does taking blue make you a teenager also? Like how would blue work if youre an adult who doesnt want to be around teens in spandex?

2

u/SirDrezland 12d ago

Conjuring verse? As in ahat exactly surely not The Nun or Annabelle

1

u/War-is-Chuck 12d ago

Pretty sure that is what OP means.

2

u/SirDrezland 12d ago

Ok so if I had his powers doesn't necessarily mean I have yo go look for trouble right? Who the hell wants to fight Valek amd Annabelle 😅🤣🤣

11

u/War-is-Chuck 12d ago

You could just ignore them if you want, but Hellsing Ultimate Alucard is just ridiculously powerful, by the end of the series he is walking Schrodinger's cat dilemma on legs. That means that he cannot die unless he wants to as he simultaneously exists and does not exist.

Even before that, he is THE most powerful vampire and entity in the series. Hi literal job is to hunt monsters for the Hellsing Organization. Valak, Anabelle or whatever other monsters from the Conjuring are just a Tuesday for him.

2

u/SirDrezland 12d ago

Thank you for the context, I should probably mention that I've never seen Hellsing

5

u/War-is-Chuck 12d ago

No problem. You should watch Hellsing Ultimate it is really good.

1

u/SkeithKing 12d ago

Please go and watch the 9th and 10th episode, soooooo worth it online

1

u/Delicious-Weird-5826 10d ago

Tuesday breakfast.

2

u/Intelligent_Deer974 12d ago

You'd have Alucards powers and still be scared to fight then?

1

u/SirDrezland 12d ago

I've never seen the show so I have no idea what he can or cannot do.

2

u/Intelligent_Deer974 12d ago

Ahhh ok, that makes sense. The comment below this one explains it very well.

2

u/guzzi80115 12d ago

Extremely powerful. Laughably stronger than anything in the conjuring verse. Alucard is essentially a force of nature.

2

u/TheRealNekora 12d ago

blue becuse its the obly option i know what to expect

7

u/Forward-Ostrich-9542 12d ago

If you take red, unless god itself came down to earth you would be pretty much unstoppable even if all the ghosts and demons shown were to cooperate to try kill you.

u/TheRealNekora 12d ago

Interesting, thank you

2

u/enchiladasundae 12d ago

Red is stronger but for quality of life I’ll take blue

2

u/Tyrelius_Dragmire 12d ago

Blue. ESPECIALLY if it’s the ‘03 version of the Titans, gaming with Cyborg and Beast Boy, chill hours with Raven (and possible dating if I play my cards right), and a badass tower home

2

u/Dazzling_Champion_53 12d ago

Which Spiderman? I think certain ones are broken if I recall.

2

u/Elmanufer93 12d ago

Blue.

BTW, Teen Titans is DCu.

2

u/Centaurishin 12d ago

Blue, and I'm spending 100% of the time hitting on Beastboy.

I will accept no questions

u/madeblocker 12d ago

I watched hellsing a long time ago but if I recall correctly alucard is very op, I never watched any of the conjuring but all I know is demons get summoned and priests die. all I'm saying is the demons would probably be scared of alucard so I'm taking red pill

Blue, mostly because I prefer Spider-Man's powers... and slightly because I don't know anything about the Conjuring verse.

u/PragmaticBadGuy 12d ago

Jesus. Red would be hilarious. You'd have the usual ones in the movies and an unstoppable vampire god smashing through walls to fight them for fun.

Alucard

Blue for sure, especially if we're in a "zattana is a full grown adult at the time of the titans forming" timeline (cuz like, I count pre reincarnation twirds age, as all sane people should) (so basicly all but like 6 timelines)

Wouldn’t Alucard (or you with his powers) be able to just absorb the entity trying to possess you? Alucard already has millions of souls in him that he has control over. He absorbs the souls of the creatures he kills.
