Hmm. City-level durability from Graviton vs. Multi-Continental attack potency, and Large Planet level durability from Radioactive Man vs. Multi-Continental level from Graviton. Seems that Radioactive man can stonewall him. Maybe Graviton can get a BFR win though

Graviton has one essential advantage in this battle: he can levitate. He can stay in the air and dodge/block a lot of Radioactive Man's blows. If he does more of the former, he might be able to hold out until Lu possibly burns out his radioactive reserves, then go for the kill.

Or, Graviton could simply sink the small island they're fighting on (maybe with some inadvertent assistance from Radioactive Man himself; not that Graviton needs that) and let Lu sink to the ocean depths.

RM seems to be able to survive underwater for some time, and does have a force field in his arsenal among other things so the latter option wouldn't really be a game changer.

As for the former, his armored suit, although slower in speed perhaps, does have boot jets that seem to grant him flight abilities as well, so in that the playing field is somewhat more leveled, but I would have to look into the statistics on those boots to get a better feel for them.

Sinking Lu may not take him down right away, but it appears he wouldn't really have a way to get back into the fight with his powers alone, at least anytime soon.

I kinda want to see those stats myself, Z.

Still, as mentioned, his jet boots likely don't make him quite as mobile in the air as Graviton. Also, RM could be grounded more easily than Graviton, since all Graviton has to do is target Lu's boots, while Lu would have to incapacitate Graviton to ground him.
